Nov 2021

I was completely exhausted, just collapsed on a sofa for eight hours, 24 hours after the shot. I was still tired from jet lag and not sleeping well so that likely made things worse. About 8 hours later I was functional, and by the next day I was fine except for the sore arm. That lasted for days. If I had had to work that day I could have but it would have been tough.

A friend sent me a vaccine protocol from the clinic where she works.Vitamin C and zinc, NSAIDs and plenty of fluids. I drank Smart Water and EmergenC and took a fewTylenol.
