I got the J&J last Monday at 9am, by 9pm i had a fever and some pretty good chills. I went to bed and woke up and the chills were pretty much gone, but still had a fever & some body aches. Enough to call in to work, but nothing horrible. I planned on being out that day so made arrangements and let team members know ahead. So made the decision to stay home easier. By 1pm i felt pretty good and carried on with the rest of my afternoon. The next day a little tired, much like the day after you're sick.
I also had COVID back in November and was lucky enough to have the long term version. Still can't smell all the way. I also tried to give COVID Plasma in mid-December and was told i didn't have enough anit-bodies to classify - they acted like that was a good thing that my body fought it off and didn't have them any more.
Your body killing the anti-bodies either doesn’t make sense to me or would concern me that my body is attacking the wrong things.
So is having the same reaction from contracting the virus. Getting high fever, chills, aches and pains from contracting a virus is a solid, good reaction by the human body. Been doing it from time on end.
I felt like total crap the day after I had my first Moderna shot. I guess it could have been the 20 beers I had that night but I doubt it.
There's been some things about the vaxx helping with long-Covid symptoms so wonder if the smell comes back.
I'm in the 'one dose for Covid recoverers' camp and wish I would have done that to give up a shot for anyone who needs it.
Agree. There should be clarifications around bad reactions and normal body response. Bad reactions are related to allergic reactions immediately after the injection. Hence why you're sitting there for 15 minutes. This is very rare, bit it does happen. Normal body response is a fever for a short period of time.
I only had a sore arm after the first Pfizer. Second had me very tired for about 36 hours but nothing awful.
I am really hoping the shot helps my long hauler son. He’s 28 years old and there are still days when he needs to get things done that he needs to keep setting alarms or have people call to keep him awake. Other days he is fine. And he’s lost way too much weight and sets alarms to remind him to eat. It’s been two weeks since his first shot though so I am starting to think it isn’t going to help.
There was a piece on the news this morning about a 12 year old girl who is a long hauler. I am not sure why, but they had her doing calisthenics at the doctor’s office.
i dont want to sound like a d*ick here.. but,
why does he need to set alarms to remind him to eat?
I guess I’m confused why people would be going to the hospital over symptom reactions? Like, you KNOW why it’s happening. Why would you not just stay home and sleep it off?
Because he lost all appetite with Covid.
I think it’s pretty common for people with Covid to lose their appetite. If you’re talking long haul, you’ve got to force yourself to eat just to keep nutrients in your body.
Because Americans in general are pretty stupid and selfish.
It might be a way to help strengthen/repair cardiovascular/respiratory issues.
These do not seem to be "normal" vaccine reactions. Normal for these vaccines, yes. Certainly not normal for other vaccines.
Honest question I don't know the answer to. I keep seeing/reading experts saying that a strong reaction to vaccines means it is working. That makes sense to me. But, if people don't have any reaction, or a weak one, does that mean the vaccine wont be very effective for them? I haven't heard anyone answer that question.
It'll be interesting to see how people react to booster shots 6--12 months down the road. Hopefully the side effects are less,.
At a little over six feet tall, he weighed 165 in early November and now is hovering around 140.
The scariest part for me is just not knowing if this is going to be what the rest of his life is like or not.
Was really hoping the vaccine would help his symptoms
I don't think enough take it upon themselves to learn why it's happening and the really strong reactions get amplified by news reporting.
I had to explain the concept of waiting a couple of weeks post-2nd dose to my dad and ladyfriend because that information hadn't been presented to them.
You would be very (un)surprised about the sh*t every state's emergency healthcare system is used for on a daily basis.
