I posted a few days ago about my experience with the 1st Moderna shot. No big deal, 24 hours later I suddenly have swelling, little pain, and redness. Yesterday I got the second shot and 24 hours later it is kicking my butt. Body and joint aches, fever, chills, nausea and headache. I should also mention that I had covid last October so that may play a part also.
sorry you felt so bad , very pleased you got through it ok, on the whole I think you did the right thing, the alternative can be much, much worse....even long covid , which is apparently affecting quite a high percentage of people who caught the disease. They interviewed a couple in their 30s here in oz who both are feeling awful 8 months after they contracted the virus.Shortness of breath, aching , chest pain, brain fog, not a nice experience. Some people with this syndrome feel better after the vaccine , others worse.....Ok....Im going to be 70 this year,,,,
I had double Pneumonia 15 yrs ago, irregular heart beat, and Pericarditis when I was 30, almost died from Pneumonia and Pericarditis (Viral infection of Heart Sack) ....So with this kind of History and knowing that Covid likes to destroy Lungs and Heart for starters, I think the odds are stacked against me if I catch it.....!!
Now, for the Shots, I took Moderna which is two shots space 25 days apart......
I experienced these side effects......
1st Shot, almost passed out 3 mins after getting it, Heart was pumping very quake, I remained calm, but I do know, I almost went out........Cleared up about 5 mins later,
Then Headache the rest of the day, normal sore arm....For 3-4 days.........
2nd Shot.......
Little bit of Heart pumping, then 3 bad days of headaches,, ,,
Second day, my tongue swelled up, and I had severe shakes and coldness in body for 2 hours.........After that I was OK.........Came very close to going to Emergency for possible Anaphylactic reaction......!!
This might help, I am very sensitive too much medication......I rarely take medication, but 30 some years ago I was over medicated on Viral Infection, and swelled up like a Tomato, with hive like issues.......It seems like after that episode any strong medicine, I have to watch for Allergic Reactions.....Conversely with this Moderna Shots for Covid, I think I suffer from the same syndrome........
I have also talked with numerous people about their effects to Vaccines, not just Moderna....Some, nothing at all.......Others, sick with Chills and Flue like symptoms for 3-5 days, then OK.........So take it for what it is worth.....
Glad to have the Shots, just wasn't happy with these type of side effects, but considering the Alternative I think this was the best way to go knowing that Covid could do much worse to me if I catch it.....
Hope this helps you Folks......Peace and be Healthy.....
here in central florida, we are 43 and 39 and able to get our first shot tomorrow saturday april 3rd. i understand the first shot isn't all that bad, but i watched my mother get extremely sick for 3 days from the second shot. A little over 2,000 people have died from the second shot in the U.S, but thats a small amount compared to people dying everyday.
