That shot woke up everything autoimmune and it was a bear, to the point that I nearly asked to be taken to Urgent Care. But then I’d have to sit up in the car, and once I managed to keep some fluids down I knew it would be okay. I spent the day asleep till after 7 pm.
The worst is over–and yes absolutely I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Wishing you a much better day. I lost the day after my second shot to debilitating fever and headache, and like you, knowing it was worth it.

Comment by Jayleen Hatmaker 04.24.21 @ 6:51 amI’m so glad you’re feeling better. I keep saying, as icky as I felt the day after mine, it was still better than having Covid….
Comment by Pegi F 04.24.21 @ 9:15 amFeel better soon! I definitely felt droopy like I was getting sick and have a very sore, bruised arm from my first Astra Zeneca jab, which I got on Thursday. However, it is all worth it! 100%!
Comment by Joanne 04.24.21 @ 7:47 pmGlad you are feeling better. It is helpful to know, in advance, that the second dose hits harder than the first. It helps to lower the “freak out” factor to a manageable level. Almost two weeks out now, soon we can meet again! (Doing a happy dance!)
Comment by Anne 04.24.21 @ 11:27 pmMy first shot was a breeze, didn’t feel it going in and no problems after. The second one was like having the flu again, hurting all over and not getting any sleep until 6 a.m. the next day. My daughter is going through the flu-like symptoms with her first shot but she also has psoriatic arthritis and the meds have compromised her immune system.
