No side effects from my shot yesterday!

[Archae]

None at all.

Not even a sore arm.

Here's hoping nothing also, on May 12th.

1. Wow, no sore arm?

How did you escape that side effect.

My arm felt like it was going to fall off with both shots.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. I had a tender spot at the injection site both times for about a day

But nothing that stopped me from doing any of my usual activities.

5. 2nd shot I could hardly move my arm the first day.

1st shot I got in my right arm which got quite sore, so 2nd shot I got in my left arm.
I could not use it for a day, it was so painful.

Glad you did better than I did!

[Diamond_Dog]

8. It's all behind us, now

So we’re both good to go! 🙂

I am happy to hear so many people here are getting their 2nd shots.

[Irish_Dem]

9. I feel like I got my life back two weeks after the 2nd shot.

I started venturing out a bit after a year long lock down.

[Diamond_Dog]

10. Lockdowns didn't change my life a whole lot

Since I’m home quite a lot, anyway. 🙂 I basically just avoided crowded places, went to the store a lot less & masked up & used sanitizer. I’m still not comfortable going into a restaurant to dine indoors just yet. The restaurants around here all seem jam packed on any given evening and that still intimidates me.

[Irish_Dem]

11. I agree, no restaurants for me.

And no travel. I am not comfortable and worried about variants.

I am retired and before the lock down I was quite busy every day with all kinds of fun activities and events. But I am a strong introvert, so I was able to entertain myself at home all alone during the lock down. But it is nice now to get out a bit and do some shopping.
And talk more to my neighbors.

16. I've done indoor dining for months. It's actually safer then before covid

Masks, your own area in the restaurant. I hope most don’t return to eating out. I flew the first time Sunday and came back Wednesday. It’s fine. Even wearing the mask for two hours wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Currently waiting my las five minutes for my second Pfizer shot. Arm hurts already. Yay!

[Irish_Dem]

18. After your second shot it is going to be even safer.

Some of the restaurants look quite crowded.
I am not ready for that scene yet.

Next month I have an important family dinner at a nice restaurant, so I am going to be entering the fray.

[jimfields33]

19. I'm glad my second shot is done. I know I have 10 days to two weeks to almost fully be safe

I hope you have a great time at your family dinner. The restaurants I go to are on a mom and pop type which are not like the outback which are back to two-hour wait time. No thanks.

[Irish_Dem]

20. I waited the full 14 days.

Then I hit some stores.

Thanks! I am really looking forward to the dinner. It is going to feel so strange to be out in a restaurant like that.

[MiniMe]

15. Until they want you to get booster shots

[Irish_Dem]

23. Right, but at least with the first two shots, we get some of our lives back.

[Ocelot II]

21. My second shot (Pfizer) made my arm feel like it had been whacked

with a baseball bat, but by the end of the second day it was fine. Worth it.

[Archae]

14. Arm hurts just a little now.

Not bad at all though.

[brewens]

2. Good thing I saw this. My second is at 11.05 today. I might have spaced it out. I probably would

checked my email and seen the reminder again, but maybe not. Thanks.

[Archae]

4. Take care, and let me know if any side effects.

Thanks.

6. Hey, I got Pfizer #1 yesterday myself.

My injection site is pretty sore, and I couldn't lay on it last night. I had a spell of brain fog yesterday afternoon, but it's cleared up today.

[Archae]

12. Got the Pfizer myself too.

[Deuxcents]

7. My second shot was Tuesday

My arm is not sore although I feel the shot site n thankfully no side effects like I’ve heard from others. The only prep I did was drink tons of water starting on Sunday n I had a good breakfast just before my appt. I hope there are no delayed reactions n I hope all my du friends have a good experience

[Archae]

13. The shot people gave me a bottle of water for a shot.

[bikebloke]

17. Same here.

When I went for my second jab, I told the injector person that I didn't have any side effects from the first. She said there will probably be with the second. Nope.

[Xolodno]

22. When I got the first...

...mild headache on the way home that lasted five minutes. No pain in the arm and I thought; Ok, guess I'm good. Later that evening, picked up my arm....oh shit, that's what they meant.

Second time yesterday. Little longer headache, then in the evening, chills, muscle aches at bed time...sometimes alternating with chills. Needless to say, didn't fall asleep until about 2 am. Woke up at 7 am, dead exhausted and opened my work lap top and burned a PTO. By the afternoon, with the exception of the sore arm and being tired, doing fine.

My wife got the sore arm later and felt nauseous. This morning she had a slight fever, but its gone now. Just feels a bit nauseous, sore arm and tired.
