Second shot on April 14th is a different story, first day was fine, second day diarrhea, nausea, fever, muscle aches, 3rd day felt better, 4th and 5th day felt sick again, add in chest cold like symptoms difficulty breathing, today I'm feeling better again. I even got a covid test yesterday just to see if I caught Covid in between shots. People at my church video team tested positive for Covid that I served with. Damn! Now I’m scared *crap*less! 2nd Moderna vax tomorrow morning. I’ve been looking so forward to being completely free of worry about this pandemic. Now I’m pretty fearful.. Taking the following work days off, expecting the worse.. Best Wishes for a quick, complete recovery! Keep us informed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got fevers with 2nd does but not with 1st. Haven't heard much with Moderna besides with 2 ppl. My tattoo artist got Moderna and said he was fine. Just arm soreness. other person said it put em down for a few days. So hopefully you will be one of those where it doesn't mess u up too bad lol Edited April 19, 2021 by Patrick_Duffy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back2Buff Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Have my first one scheduled for Friday. Made sure it was Pfizer. I've known a good chunk of people that already gotten the shot (lots of RNs and older people). Pfizer just seems to have the least amount of adverse reactions. Also, for some reason, it seems that people who have routinely gotten the flu shot year after year, their body also seems to handle the shot better. My dad just completed his two shots. First one, really nothing. Second one, felt light headed for a couple days. Hoping for the same reactions for myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mid 60s (which co-incidentally matches when I first became a Bills fan) and have always gotten flu shots every year. The only real reaction I have had to either of the 2 Moderna doses was a slight sore arm. Word of advice - Always get your shots in the arm that you DON'T sleep on! I always sleep on my right shoulder hence I always get my vax in my Left arm! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flu shot never really bothers, me but this year I did get a bruise from where they did it. Not a big deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Day 2 after my first Pfizer and no real side effects. my shot arm hurt late yesterday and was a tad drowsy but other than nothing to report as today the arm feels normal and had a good night's rest. I'm just counting the days for dose 2 (May 10). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, got the 2nd stab this a.m.. interestingly, I’m not as ecstatic or feeling liberated as I envisioned. arm is sore but tolerable. Gotta say, I’m dreading tonight/tomorrow. I’m a woos when I’m sick.. Focusing on bellying up to a beach bar by Saturday, my ‘2 shot verification card’ firmly in my wallet! Calling the Bills ticket office next week! P.S. if I’m not heard from til the weekend, I woosed out again. it’s my MO..🤦♂️ Best wishes, all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then you do NOT become invincible to the virus. It just means that the odds greatly increase that you will NOT get seriously ill and/or die from becoming infected. There is a difference! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever consider that's the emotional 'wear and tear' that comes from living with you? 🤔 * 😉😁 * AstraZeneca first shot was administered to me two days ago. Sore right arm, nothing else so far. I did delay my weekly infusion of an immune system booster by one day, just to give everything time to shake out. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 My new FB profile pic. Funny how ‘they’ knew... We didn’t take George Orwell seriously enough.. pic is painting of me by a very talented, Canadian friend of mine-who’s currently freaking out over the foot of snow that fell last night. 🤣BWAHAHAHAHAHA ! Been 28+ hours since ‘Mo-2’. Feeling like a million buck$! -which don’t mean squat these days.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Slept solid last night from 11-5:30, felt a little warm at times, but no elevated temp. Slightly groggy this morning, and a very very mild tickle in my throat. But all in all, I feel fine. I think I had more of a reaction to the first shot, honestly. And that was still very mild as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Got Pfizer Round 2 early yesterday afternoon. So far, so good outside of a slightly sore left arm. We'll see if that's it. Fingers crossed. My wife and two sons all have appointments for Round 1 this coming Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
