COVID vaccine

Hi Sumter. I have received both of the Moderna vaccines. After #1, my arm was pretty sore and about a week later I felt like I had a lump under my armpit (which eventually went away after a few days). Last Friday, received #2 and on day two I had a headache, fatigue, and body aches. I had heard that you weren't supposed to take Advil or Tylenol unless you felt like you needed it. I took the Advil because I needed to function that day (I am a mom to young kids). By the following day, I was back to my normal self. All in all, it was a good experience. A pleasant surprise was that the actual shot was less painful than my annual flu shot. Are you scheduled for your vaccine yet?

Sumter,
Hello! I am scheduled for tomorrow for the Moderna Vaat 4pm; I will let you know how it goes. Katie
I had both doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The first dose had no issues, other than a sore arm for a few days. I had minor symptoms after the second dose for about 2-3 days with fatigue and a mild headache. I've had no further symptoms and feel relieved it is done, for now!
Hello! I had the 1st dose of the Moderna Vaccination today at 3pm. Oddly, I felt a little lightheaded for a little time afterwards. I am ok now. I will keep you posted. I am just sooo relieved that shot # 1 is behind me!!! Yahoo!!!!
There is a posted information and been on the news about the vaccine and the breasts. Some drs are telling the ladies to weight after the vaccine to get there mammograms. Now my daughter had an experience when she got her covid shot her breast really hurt. Well then she had a mammogram showed 2 masses. The limp nodes were not affected and her biopsy was fine so thankful for that.

Hello! Update- I feel fine today, only mild discomfort in arm. I am just so mentally relieved that vaccination #1 is on board!!!
Long haulers syndrome symptoms mimic a lot of what patients with chronic disorders deal with. I had hypersensitivity pneumonitis twice- I definitely do not want to go down that road nor the new long haulers road if there is anything possible that I can do to prevent it from happening.
