    Got my 2nd Moderna vax shot around 6pm on Tuesday night. Went home, all good. Went to sleep around 9pmish, my normal time.

    At 3AM i woke up, with chills and mild sweats. By 5am my body was sore AF. Not just the shoulder that was pinned. Every larger muscle in body (legs mostly) felt like they were filled with inflammation. I took my first sick day in years for actually feeling ill.

    Other symptoms: stiff neck; not quite a headache but definite head discomfort; possible fever.

    Im just now over the hump imo.
    Yeah very normal, actually. The bad symptoms tend to start 6-8 hours after the shot. So you went to sleep 3 hours in, and your body probably didn't wake you up until the 9 hour mark, so you probably slept through a little bit of the crappiness. Unfortunately, if typical patterns hold, this entire day will be shitty, and everything will abruptly improve around midnight.
    You guys know there are therapeutic drugs that work really well and keeping high levels of Vitamin D seem to correlate with less infections?

    The vaccine sounds exciting though, just not in a "we can leave our house now" kind of way.

    If not for the vaccine, how do you see the country opening back up? Seriously, what's the path in your mind? You want to be stuck in your house for another 2 years?

    The people that hate the lockdowns the most are also the people that refuse to take the vaccine which is the path out of the lockdowns. wtf
    problem is, doomers run the world

    this will never end

    annual lockdowns, booster shots every 6 months

    masks, social distancing, shaming others for just living their life

    Where do you live where you’re confined to your house? Truthfully curious. There is nothing I can’t do. The only inconvenience being putting on a mask which isn’t an inconvenience during a run to store or when I walk in to pay for golf at the pro shop. All casinos are open here, including poker rooms. I eat and drink after round and you can’t wear mask while doing either and no one is.

    Where are you where you can’t leave your house?

    All of us have known about vitamin D for a year and many of us already took it.

    BUMP

    I got the Pfizer vaccine. Both doses. I wanted to wait before talking about it because I wanted to post a full picture of my experience, rather than a running progress, because that's less useful and harder to follow.

    The first dose was fairly typical, but had a sign of something to worry about for the second. I got the expected arm pain (though it was REALLY sore, to the point where I couldn't sleep well that night), but I also experienced some mild chills that night. No fever or illness, but the chills worried me, based upon what I had been hearing about the second dose!

    The second dose was something I was dreading, because I just knew I'd be one of the unlucky ones getting bad side effects from it. From what I had anecdotally seen, people my age seemed about 50/50 regarding bad side effects from the second shot, and it seemed everyone either had it mildly or really bad, without much in between.

    Also, from what I had observed almost everyone who had bad side effects from the second shot experienced them within 6-9 hours. It appeared that if you reached the 9 hour mark with everything being mild, you weren't going to have a bad experience.

    I got my second shot, and I wondered what was in store for me.

    Within 45 minutes, I developed some noticeable muscle and joint pain. Not good!

    But then hours passed, and nothing further. I reached the dreaded 6 hour mark, and no change! Still muscle and joint pain, but nothing else. No fatigue, no fever, no nausea, no headache. When it had been over 11 hours and I hadn't experienced anything beyond the soreness, I declared side effect victory. No miserable illness for this guy!





    BUT

    About half an hour later, I started to feel tired. Then I started to feel REALLY tired. I didn't make much of it. I had actually been doing things around the house, and figured maybe I was just getting worn down by being active while so sore. It was also near the time I usually went to sleep, so I just got in bed and went to sleep.

    I woke up 3.5 hours later, and I knew something was wrong. I felt cold, the muscle and joint pain was considerably worse, and I just had a flu-like feeling. This was far different than it was before. I also felt like I had a fever. Indeed, it was 100, which for me was significant because my normal temperature is around 97.3. I also almost NEVER get fevers anymore, and probably haven't had one in over a decade.

    The entire day was absolute crap. High fatigue, chills, lots of muscle and joint pain, a consistent fever of 101-101.5, and just generally felt super low-energy and felt like shit. I also developed another problem -- a headache, but not for the reason you think! It was NOT a headache caused directly by the vaccine. It was a tension headache -- the ones I get about 250 times per year. This particular headache developed because I was in bed so many times throughout the day, and every time I would fall asleep in a non-ideal position, the headache would get worse. Unlike normal times, I couldn't take my usual aspirin to bring the headache down, so I had to just tolerate it, which sucked big time.

    I was told, and I also anecdotally observed among peers, that all vaccine side effects will be mostly gone by 30 hours after the shot, and completely gone by 36 hours. Nope! Not for me. 36 hours after the shot, my symptoms were still going strong, complete with the 101.2 fever which had been there consistently since everything ramped up. I also started developing some nausea, but I was able to use a handheld motorized fan to prevent myself from vomiting (a trick I learned years ago). Finally, some progress occurred at about the 40-hour mark. The fever slipped to around 100.5, and I felt slightly better. A few hours after that, it fell to 99, and a few hours after that, it vanished entirely. Still, I felt fatigue and the muscle/joint pain. Things slowly kept improving, but there was no rapid relief like most people had described.

    It has now been almost 72 hours since I had the vaccine. Amazingly, I'm still experiencing effects from the vaccine. No more fever, no more sick feeling, but still muscle and joint pain, and some mild fatigue. I'm hoping by tomorrow it's all better.

    So.... this kinda sucked, and it looks like I had a nonstandard timeline regarding the side effects, almost like it was in slow motion.

    Was it the absolute worst sickness I've felt? No. Was it shitty? Yes. Was the unexpected length of symptoms (and surprise late arrival of them) frustrating? Very.

    Anyway, now I just need to wait out the remaining time and can return to life.

    Despite all of this BS, I still recommend everyone over 45 get it.

    Despite my feelings on anyone under 60 getting a vaccine for a virus that is not dangerous, I'm happy you got it and you feel better about living your life, here's to getting back to normal!

    I wonder if it's possible that people who haven't had covid yet are getting strong reactions to the vaccine or vice versa.

    I've wondered the same thing.

    I need to ask Master Scalir how he reacted to the COVID vaccine, because he got his already, and he had COVID back in early November. I know that Eric Bensamochan had COVID (also in November), and reported that his reaction to the vaccine was mild.

    I know someone else who had COVID and got the vaccine, and they also had a mild reaction to it.

    However, both this person and Eric had a mild version of COVID, so perhaps that's the factor here. That's actually Benjamin's theory. He thinks that your reaction to the vaccine correlates to how severely you'd experience COVID (though this theory breaks down somewhat for old people, as they seem to get milder vaccine reactions, whereas they die much more often from COVID). But it's possible Ben is partially right, in that immune system over-responses to COVID (which cause much of the illness) are also the reason certain people get sick from the vaccine.

    It's also possible that this is all random, or related to factors which aren't yet understood, and may never be understood.

    I'm not sure why my reaction was delayed, and why it dragged longer than usual. I'm the only person I know who got a bad reaction yet didn't experience it until nearly 12 hours in.

    However, some of the people who had bad reactions experienced it worse than I did (some described it as the sickest they've ever been), but it was shorter-lived. This was like a mid-grade flu for me, but it dragged over a period of days, rather than just 24 hours like most people.

    My wife had a delayed response like yours. Got her second shoot before her 12 hour shift started and thought she was in the clear. Got home that night and was fucked up for about 10-12 hours.

    Don't be too concerned.

    About half the people have a pretty easy time with the second shot, from what I've seen. For example, khalwat got his shot and was on our show last week, sounding healthy as ever and giving $700 to the freeroll. He's slightly older than me.

    The other half... well, it's one really shitty day... about 2.5 if you're unlucky like me.

    Hang in there, hopefully it's almost over. I think I've posted about going to bed feeling like death post #2 and waking up 100% fresh.

    Only complete pussies wouldn't get it because they're scared of symptoms.

    Oh I'm convinced it's almost over for me. While I didn't have the abrupt horrible-to-better improvement like most people, it's been a gradual process of feeling better, which started after everything peaked yesterday morning. By the evening yesterday there was already a substantial difference, and today I'm just not feeling 100%, with various aches and not as much energy.

    It's just too important NOT to do, though, especially at my age. I also resisted taking any medication, even when it was REALLY tempting during the unrelenting headache period on Monday.

    It’s hilarious to watch people purposely make themselves ill for Biden’s patriotism. Rofl. So we are hitting the point where they are dropping on new people receiving vaccine. It’s gonna get funny....

    With Trump's vaccine no less. On the outside Biden looks like he's losing his mind, but on the inside he's an evil genius playing 4d chess hoping to kill millions of people all over the world.

    I feel bad for anyone you "helped" while being a nurse. If you really were one. While I am not a fan and was considering not getting the vaccine, I believe the benefits outweigh one or two days of feeling awful.

    It shouldn't bother anyone that someone chooses to get the vaccination. Make your own choice.

    And yeah, the whole world is in on Biden's patriotism. Also, didn't Eric Trump say this hoax virus would magically disappear in November 2020. I guess the whole world has to still play the game so it doesn't look like a hoax to the U.S.


    Ask Ted Nugent about COVID and what he thinks now.

    Got the 2nd shot Pfizer last week. My wife ended up feeling achy/getting the chills right at the 24 hour mark and it lasted about 4 hours then she was fine. I got my shot at 5pm and woke up the next morning slightly achy; probably more accurately sore more than anything. Once I was open and moving around though I felt completely fine and ended up having no side affects. Winning.

    We’re both around age 40 FYI.
