dianestjohn - I'm glad I asked now, too, at first I was thinking there was no way this could be a reaction, but it does make sense that over time your body is working on this so that side effects would not be limited to just a day or two afterwards. I was going to take a break from work and walk, but I'm too tired and figure resting is better at this point than trying to push myself to do something, even if this is just allergies, etc.
Sherry - I'm dreading the second one, too. My 2nd is on 5/3. I hope to be over the first before then. Donna and LoveVa - so sorry you feel/felt so bad.... Alta - I'm glad this one wasn't bad for you - that flu vaccine reaction would be really concerning to me.... Donna |

DH and I both had our 1st Pfizer shots a week ago today; I only had some mild symptoms originally but sleep has been pretty inconsistent since for me (although I rarely sleep soundly anyway). DH developed a bad headache yesterday and we didn't even think about that being connected to the vaccine a week ago. He has allergies and a stressful job so we just attributed it to that. But now I'm not so sure...

I'm 43 hours post-2nd jab of Pfizer. I felt nothing but the same sore arm heaviness ( as first jab, within 2 hrs). 17 hours in, I experienced a sudden searing pain on top of my head, my tailbone began aching badly and my eyes got hot. My temperature went from 97.1 ( my normal) to 99.8... I stayed at work until noon, went home and drank a glass of OJ and took a nap. I ran the low fever ( never more than 100.3) on and off during the night. It was gone in the morning, but sinus congestion and tailbone pain remain . I stayed home from work today just because my job is physical to the max, and I feel "off" concentration wise. This being said, I'm thrilled to be vaccinated and gave the personnel I interacted with individual Thank You cards at each station of the museum ( actually theater next to museum). I'm feeling lucky and grateful. I want to do some Chai Ti or Kari later today xxx
P.S. LOL now you know why I stayed home- Tai Chi....ohmyword

I don’t have a fever, so I don’t think it’s a virus. Just tiredness and an upset stomach. I really think it’s due to stress. ETA: I’m fine now, back to normal. I think I was more stressed at the idea of postponing my shot than I am at getting the shot. It’s funny what stress can do.

Julie, what a sweet gesture! I had the urge to do something like hand out cookies, which I knew I couldn't do; it didn't occur to me to do something as simple as give thank you notes.

The earlier soreness had been fading yesterday (I especially noticed that there wasn't much of a "deeper" feeling of soreness anymore), and now it seems to be gone. The person administering the vaccine placed a bandage over the area; I haven't removed the bandage yet, but I've looked around the area and haven't noticed any visible difference. (She also told me that it was a "good sign" that the injection area wasn't bleeding, though I don't know how relevant that point is to this discussion.)
I haven't noticed any problems with exercise or other activities, though I still haven't done anything that would use my arm heavily. I've been feeling very good for the past few days, though I think that other recent changes are more likely to have caused it--a recent change in schedule has led to both improved sleep and a reinvigorated exercise habit. (The timing of my first dose was also unrelated to that schedule change, though I do appreciate that the change happened. ) I'm also sure that my feeling isn't something like psychological relief. Unless something unexpected happens, this will be my final "routine" update before I get my next dose, which is scheduled for the same time on Wednesday, May 19 (four weeks after my first dose). I hope that everyone has minimal problems!
