My moderna experince [View all]

I got my first moderna shot yesterday. And I am diabetic.

I am very fatigued. Slept most of the day.
Had some body aches and felt cold today. Slight on and off headache,a little stomach pain low appitite. Dry mouth.I got a developing case of covid arm as the place the shot went into my arm is growing warmer and is red and soreish. The tiredness is significant.
The body aches while painful don't occur often it's like 1 or two times an hour.

Tomorrow it could be better or worse,either way I am glad to get my shot and looking forward to the second one.
