48. Mild reaction here, just a sore arm and not that bad.

Fri Apr 28, 2023, 10:23 PM

Apr 2023

I expected my arm to hurt more like it did before.

It wasn't as sore and I feel good too.

That RSV really got me though. I'm over it now,
completely, but that was one fierce, long expertience,
though oddly enough, I never got a fever and didn't
feel all that sick. I medicated to the hilt, but only
the Robitussin, gargling, and nasal flushes helped
keep my throat from getting too sore.

The antihistamines were pretty much worthless,
but I still took them.
