I got mine Wednesday and have had several reactions. None on injection day but the day after, sore arm, dry mouth. Next day felt fine! Day after that had chills body aches and fever, stayed in bed and thought I was riding it out. Next day thought I was back to normal but got up to greet my niece and I got to her in time for her to hold me up. Felt like I was gonna faint and my body couldn’t move. My eyes were fixed but body couldn’t move. I could hear them talking to me but b all I could say is “I’m fine”. My whole body was tingly so strong that it truly left an impression.

my Dr thinks it all was due to the Corona shot!!

@doingwhatican what the heck? Skip the 2nd shot? What kind of a doctor would say that? Wow.... Thinking your doctor doesn't know what they are talking about. I have never heard of a doctor suggesting that.

@doingwhatican I got the second shot and was very sick for 3 days. Chills, fever, aches, pain, eyes hurt from the 102 fever. Arm and shoulder were painful for nearly a week, as well as the injection site swollen like a huge spider bite with pain and itching. Just overall felt like crap. But everyone was telling me that was a good sign because my immune system was getting stronger to fight that particular virus. I don't know. All I know is that I am way past done with this pandemic. The depression, isolation, not seeing family and friends, not going to church, not going anywhere! I pray the end is near

I got the shot this monday iirc, I've had a cold since, but other than that I haven't noticed anything. Moderna. My grandma got the same and was similarly sick for a little over a week.

I received the first dose of Pfizer. My spouse also received Pfizer. He complained of a very sore arm, hard to lift or control the muscle. I honestly think his pain tolerance is much lower. I could feel that the muscle in my arm was sore at the injection sight but really not painful at all considering my flare activity. The following day I was very fatigued, but felt fine after napping and resting multiple times.

@doingwhatican I was also sick with the first shot. I had the body aches and chills fatigue my arm and shoulder were killing me. And a migraine! But I was only actually sick for about 24 hours. Where with the second shot I was sick for three or four days. I agree I do not trust the doctors, I do not trust the vaccines, they don't know what they're doing, they have not been able to research the virus or the vaccines enough to know what can happen to us later on down the road. But, what can we do? I am praying that the vaccine does actually work for me, and that I do not get covid. But, I am hearing that they are going to start doing boosters in the fall, just like they do with the flu shot. So, unless they improve the shots, we will all be sick again just from the shot. I cannot wait until all of this is over.

Some doctors are saying it is probably that I had some underlying flu, COVID, or etc.. that caused the prolonged illnesses. All I know is that my lungs are not the same, they are worse and I contribute it to the shot. I feel better just had to bump up the oxygen intake.
