Hope you feel better soon

[walkingman]

2. Congrats - Hope you are feeling better soon. Got my 2nd Moderna also yesterday and so

far only a little sore arm......{knock wood}

[still_one]

3. They say for those that experience side effects it should be about 2 to 3 days. Hope you feel

better by tomorrow

[Chautauquas]

4. thanks for letting us know

your experience seems to be much like a lot of the other 50 million people who got vaccinated. many of them also made a thread about it.

5. How long did it take them to set in?

Im curious because I have the 2nd Moderna scheduled in the morning in 3 wks and a meeting later that day. I didnt have any effect from the 1st except a sore shoulder but thats been bothering me if I need to reschedule the 2nd based on all these reports I read of side effects.

8. Lady Wife and I got our 2nd shots yesterday

No effects sofar. Moderna

Google maps sent us to the wrong place and and the people there sent us to the second wrong place. We went home and got on the phone. County Health District person very nice and helpful. We got to the right place an hour and a half late. No problemmo!

Everybody working there was very nice. It was just like living in America.

9. 48 hrs

A good friend of mine just got the second Moderna shot and had the same symptoms for 48 hours.
It came on suddenly and then went away just as suddenly.

10. I wish you the day-after-the-day-after that I had.

After a full day of crushing fatigue, I woke up the next morning feeling better than I had in months.

11. My neighbor who is in her 40's

is a teacher. She also has received both of her shots from Moderna. She was fine day 1 and day 2. Her fever, chills, stiffness started on day 3. Day 4 she was down but by day 5 feeling better. She doesn't know if the fact that she has Lupus may be the cause for her difference from others.

14. I had a similar reaction.

It was my first shot and I got a fever on day 2 that lasted until day 5. I don’t have any autoimmune diseases so I’m not sure why I had a delayed, longer reaction.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

12. You will! I'm on the day-after-the-day-after, & I'm almost 100%.

Now I'm hearing I may need a booster. But that's OK. I'll do it. Yesterday was like a flu day, but today I'm out of bed and doing my chores. Hang in there - drink LOTS of water, tea, jello, popsicles. I did not take any fever reducers, but I monitored my temp in case it got over 102. I'm giving myself the option of taking it easy today.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

18. I had similar, but milder symptoms after my flu shot - so I think it comes w/the territory.

[LiberalLoner]

13. I'm so sorry. I hope you feel much better tomorrow! Thanks for

Keeping yourself safe and all of us safe too! ❤️

15. Husband and I got the Moderna Wednesday and have no problems.

[spinbaby]

26. I think the second shot is the problem

I had my first yesterday and have no side effects aside from minor arm soreness. I’m hearing, though, that the second shot is way more likely to cause side effects.

[Tink41]

16. Oh how I envy you!

Congrats! Experienced similar w my pneumonia vaccine last year. I'd give anything for 1x Vaccine this week. Became a Grandmother last summer, my last time touching my sweetpea was October. I see her about 1x a week. At this point I'd tolerate puking my guts up to hug my child again.

[nolabear]

20. I feel like a truck ran over me but I'm okay.

2nd Moderna yesterday too. No fever, not a terrible headache, ALL my muscles ache but it’s not so bad I won’t be fine if I baby myself for a day.

[redstatebluegirl]

21. I had those symptoms too, they will pass after 24 hours and beats being on a vent.

[panader0]

22. I'm sorry you feel bad.

My county (Cochise in Az) apparently can't get any vaccine. I'm 70 and have yet to get shot #1.
I think it's being delivered by mule, a slow and old mule.

[KewlKat]

25. Friends in Pima county went to a mass vaccination site in Tucson. They get

Shot number 2 on Monday. Maybe they have a shot clinic somewhere in your county?

[panader0]

27. Nope, no mass vaccination sites, and from what I gather,

the places that have given shots have no vaccine.

[Digger]

24. Got the second Moderna

Thursday Feb 25th. So far only some soreness at the injection point; same as first time. Here's hoping...

[Mike 03]

28. Get well quickly. Thank you for sharing this info.

It really helps to know what to expect.
