Covid second jab after 18 hours [View all]

Felt fine afterwards. Then around 18 hours later, fatigue, aches, and chills started. No appetite except for cold cantaloupe chunks

What's odd is that I get little "zingers" around areas of prior injuries/surgery, such as
- root canal
- broken wrist from 20 years ago
- area where I sprained my ankle a couple of times
- lower back and piriformis - preexisting, but made worse.

It's tolerable with ibuprofen. I think of the long haulers and that they must feel like this every day. My heart goes out to them.
