In reply to the discussion: The effects of the Pfizer vaccine - nine days later. [View all]catbyte
(34,373 posts)9. I felt really "out of it" brain foggy for about 4 days after my first dose on 2/23
then I snapped out of it and felt fine.
I had my second dose on 3/16. I felt stoned the next day, and I'm still tired today, but the brain fog is much better than yesterday. My arm never was sore and I have no other symptoms. I'm sorry you're having such a big reaction. Have you reported your symptoms to the CDC? They have an app that monitors your symptoms and collects the data for research purposes. They check in with you daily for a week, then weekly afterward via text. Here's the link if you're interested:

Edited to add: I had the Pfizer vaccine.

2 days out from my 2nd Pfizer jab. If I've had side/after effects they were too mild to notice
