After taking the Moderna booster yesterday 6ish in the PM. I went to bed thinking:

[Carlitos Brigante]

"I'M INVINCIBLE!!!" (1st and 2nd shots were a "breeze" for me).

"Not so fast there, kid!!". Said the head /joint pains and chills this afternoon...........

On the plus side I'm now able to pick up police scanner transmissions. And if I stand next to the TV. We can now pick up channel 2 (CBS) here in Chicago. Is that normal?

[Cracklin Charlie]

1. Drink some warm sweet tea.

Always makes me feel better.

[Carlitos Brigante]

3. TY! Will do. Do you find a specific type works better for you? I don't have a huge assortment. But

still pretty decent.

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. Lipton?

Tea bags. One bag, warm water, one half teaspoon of sugar in hub’s giant coffee mug. Thats what I drink.

Ps…it will also settle my upset stomach, when I have one. It’s like medicine.

[Carlitos Brigante]

10. Beautiful. I got that. Thank you!! nt

[Cracklin Charlie]

15. Get this...

My husband bowls with a guy who retired from work in Lipton’s tea mixing room (their plant is literally blocks from my house). They don’t mix the tea there anymore, though. They make other things now, and I know several people that work there.

Their tea formulas are top secret, and the guys in the tea department were big shots! His was one of the most coveted jobs in the plant. It is really interesting to hear him talk about that work.

Get well soon!

[Carlitos Brigante]

20. That does sound interesting and also an incredibly good smelling work environment. In contrast

at my old firm we were designing a new plant for an artificial flavoring company. I went a few times to their current space for surveys, meetings, etc. and would come out smelling like a "Cheez-It". Guys who worked there long term told me their sense of smell was all but gone. I'll take the tea plant any day over that.

5. Yeah, my symptoms didn't kick in until 24 hrs

after I had the shot. I had a fever and bad chills, but they didn't last more than about 6 hours. I was tired and icky feeling for longer.

[ARPad95]

6. I got my Moderna booster in the early afternoon and all was fine (even did my strenuous workout)

until about 10 hours later...

several layers of blankets did not stop the chills , Advil did not stop the headaches and laying in bed just aggravated my lower back .

Thank goodness, I was back to normal on the 3rd day.

[iemanja]

7. I had bad chills too

I wore a big fleece comfy to bed with the temp turned up to 78. I got entirely under a very thick down comforter, and I still couldn't get warm!

[milestogo]

12. 10 hours exactly!

[GopherGal]

33. Got boosted Thursday afternoon and was fine until late morning Friday.

But last night I had the chills so bad that I slept wearing long underwear, a fleece hoodie (hood up), and fleece-lined socks in addition to my PJs (and under multiple layers of blankets).

I was resisting the urge to crank up the thermostat and got the long johns out to put next to the bed to pull on in case I was too chilled to fall asleep, but they felt so cozy I just pulled 'em on, deciding that if I overheated, I could get up and pull them off. I didn't overheat. I slept fairly well.

Tylenol got the headache under control for me and I feel mostly better now. If I start feeling like last night again, I'll probably add to my regimen a mugful of hot herbal tea.

[LisaL]

8. Yep, I got my booster in the morning.

Symptoms started the next day (fever, chills, etc) and lasted two days. Moderna arm showed up a couple of days after the shot and lasted about a week.

[Wingus Dingus]

11. Got ours (husband and I) at around 3 pm yesterday.

I finally broke down and took some Tylenol about noon today, we're both still pretty achy and wiped out.

[Carlitos Brigante]

13. My GF and I staggered our initial 2 (her idea). One week apart from

each other's. In case we needed to watch over each other. I lucked out reaction wise. She was figuratively run over by a train with the second shot.

[Wingus Dingus]

14. Yep, Moderna Number Two was the worst for everyone in my family (somehow

by sheer coincidence we all ended up with Moderna--myself, husband, both adult sons). Booster is coming close as a rival though, in terms of feeling shitty. Get well soon!

[Carlitos Brigante]

17. Aw, thank you!

[Elwood P Dowd]

16. My chills, joint issues, and fatigue hit me about about 10-11 PM after the afternoon shot.

Went away the next evening. Not really that bad though I did keep hearing the voices of George Soros and Hlllary Clinton in my head.

[Carlitos Brigante]

18. Question. Does George Soros' voice sound like Tom Selleck's? If so,

Last edited Mon Dec 6, 2021, 03:20 PM - Edit history (1)

is it odd that the voice wants me to get a reverse mortgage?

[Elwood P Dowd]

21. More like Joe Namath.

Made me want to ditch my Medicare and take out the stuff he promotes. Came to my senses when the side effects wore off.

[Carlitos Brigante]

22. That sneaky bastard!!! ;-P

[FuzzyRabbit]

19. Moderna 3, fatique for two days after.

Moderna 1 and 2, sore shoulder but no other side effects.

Moderna 3, shoulder was not sore at all but for two days after I felt tired and sluggish.

[Botany]

23. My only side effect is that iMac only runs micro soft systems now.

n/t

[Carlitos Brigante]

25. As far as things go. That's not too bad. Oh, and for those of you sheeple, calling us

"conspiracy theorists". I taped a metal spoon to my chest.. And GUESS WHAT!! It stuck!! Go ahead, explain that one, Einsteins!!!

[Elwood P Dowd]

27. Now that is one serious side effect.

Going from Mac OS to Windows 10 or 11 can shoot your blood pressure up 30-40 percent. Better have some Clonidine ready.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. I have been enjoying the company of my nanobot overlords since September!

Be careful out there! Guard your newfound powers!

[ProfessorGAC]

26. Mine Only Lasted 4 Hours

The second Moderna was 3-4 times longer and twice the effects.
Hope your reaction passes quickly, too.
Oh, and: I live way south of the city, so I only pick up WGN.

[leftieNanner]

28. Plus - an added bonus

You will never again lose your house keys.

You might look a little foolish with them magnetized to your forehead though.

[Scrivener7]

29. I'm 5 days in and still dragging my ass. My sister was sick too. I was

telling her how weird the most lasting symptoms were: very sore wrists and sore gums.

She said she was having the same, and her gums were bleeding for no reason!

And just think. We'll do another in a couple of months!

[Blaukraut]

30. Hubby and I got our Moderna boosters Wednesday at noon

Hubby again only had a sore arm. I got chills overnight, but they only cancelled out my usual hot flashes so I actually slept pretty well for a change

[ThoughtCriminal]

31. After booster I was feeling very little until 30 hours later

Then I ran a 100.5 fever and felt a little achy. But the next morning I was back to normal.

[FrankChurchDem]

32. Have you

Felt an overwhelming urge to upgrade to Microsoft Edge yet? Then you're not out of the woods.

[Carlitos Brigante]

34. I can't say I'm there yet. But as a side note. My office did the

"upgrade" recently. More or less about the time "omicron" popped up. Coincidence? I think not!!!

[Locutusofborg]

35. After two doses of Pfizer

I decided to go with Moderna for the booster since they gave me a choice. No side effects at all, not even a sore arm. Its been two weeks now.
New study from Harvard says Moderna is very slightly better.

[BlackSkimmer]

36. Pfizer booster kicked my ass.

Not sure I’ll do that again.

[PlanetBev]

37. I got my Moderna booster yesterday, as well

Went to bed with fever, chills and headache. Woke up eight hours later, feeling fine!

[Tree Lady]

38. It will get better

I got shot Thursday afternoon and arm hurt that night and Friday slight fever felt sick but nothing like second short. Today arm slightly sore still but thats it back to normal went out for long walk.
