Second shot this Wednesday morning: several hours of nothing, piece of cake. Then ... headache started 5 or 6 hours later (improved after conking out for a half hour or so); chills started around 9 pm; up several times during night with chills and muscle aches; all day Thursday, fever, chills, muscle weakness, fatigue (zonked out several times, and I never, ever sleep during the day), headache. Started to feel better around 9 pm. Feeling pretty much back to normal this morning.

It was not fun, but it ended. Well worth 36 hours of blechh.
