Im aching all over and Ive got chills.
I didnt feel this way after the first dose. I may also have overdone it at work, too.
I bragged that I could tanker-tough my way through it. Thats what I get for showing off...

(16,863 posts)I had muscle and joint aches and a fever over 102. It was awful for about 24h and then, like flipping a light switch, it was all gone.
Hope you're feeling better soon!

(933 posts)It should ease after a day or so. Sometimes fatigue lingers longer.

Just kick back and rest, as if I were a a real bug.
Aristus
(66,388 posts)I say the same thing to my patients.
Ive just never had a symptomatic inflammatory response to a vaccine before.
This way, Ill be better prepared to counsel my patients when we start general vaccination...

(36,745 posts)Worse than the first shot of Moderna this last Tuesday. Ill find out on March 2nd if that becomes my all time worst.
Yup, you will be able to walk a mile in their moccasins, so to speak.
Aristus
(66,388 posts)Ill be a mile away, and Ill have their moccasins!

(17,444 posts)The second dose of Moderna caused a fever, body aches, and tiredness the following day. The fever resolved quickly with a dose of Tylenol and didn't return. The other symptoms gradually resolved over the next few days.

Take care!

Aristus
(66,388 posts)The first dose only caused a raised, warm, itchy welt about a week later.
I'm thrashed twenty-four hours after the second dose. I've cancelled weekend plans and am spending the day in my bathrobe recovering...
Paladin
(28,264 posts)But considering the possible alternative, I'm going to try to keep a positive attitude, whatever the side effects may be. Best of luck to you in getting better.
Aristus
(66,388 posts)Yeah, the alternative is unacceptable. This is a small price to pay to acquire an immunity to so devastating a disease.

(34,060 posts)yes, you will be able to deal with getting a vaccine--for your daughter. and for you. and for everyone who loves you.

(9,762 posts)That were pretty miserable and also a very sore arm. Third day was not bad, maybe a little more fatigued than usual. Fourth day, back to normal.
Laffy Kat
(16,383 posts)I was febrile, achy, and had a terrible headache for three days. I missed four days of work. No regrets, though; I'd do it again. I tell ya, popsicles, and very cold Powerade tasted so good. Also, Benadryl helped me sleep through it.
My oldest son had his second yesterday and then went to work at the hospital today for a 12-hour shift. He just texted me that he felt terrible. I told him last night to call-in but he didn't listen to his mother, of course.
Get rest!
