COVID booster 🥶

I have not gotten COVID once but every shot is worse than the last. It is cruel too. I hate chills… I can’t move when I have chills. I know… better than getting it. Talk to me about it tomorrow. 🧊

Speaking of… have you heard of the latest people with too much money trend? Ice baths… literally a bathtub in your yard. 🛁 . Kid you not. The next article was about sleep remedies and sticking your head in a freezer. I can’t even… 🥶

" Ice baths… literally a bathtub in your yard. 🛁 ."

Yeah.. That went viral last year.

IDK.. I'm not a fan of cold water, unless it's the middle of summer, but I will say this.

.

To any new people out there.

If you are having a panic attack. Slowly going into a cold shower is one trick that "sometimes" stops anxiety in its tracks.

Please be careful if you ever do that though. (go slow, it's not worth slipping and falling, but it does sometimes work)

" Talk to me about it tomorrow. 🧊 "

Please update me and the rest of us.

I have had the first 2 vaccine shots, and one booster from last year, but I am on the fence if I want to get the 2nd one ATM.

Possible small trigger warning.

(partially some of it due to my dad having a really bad reaction to his 2nd booster shot)

I was shivering most of the night. My feet wouldn’t warm up! Then I got too warm. Now I just have a headache and my arm is sore. Dehydrated too. My colleague got covid on Friday. She has been laid up and miserable since. Like me she never got it until now and she is boosted. This will go away by noon I’d guess.

Here's the thing.

My dad (mid 70's) got covid this past summer. He got messed up to where he couldn't walk properly (long story short, his legs were too wobbly with his walker), and we needed to rush him to the hospital.

Then he gets the 2nd booster, and the same thing happened to him a few weeks earlier back when he had covid. Another rushed ambulance trip, couldn't walk, the same thing.

So here's me, (of course wanting to do the right thing) but wondering if this 2nd booster will do me more harm than good.

*sigh* IDK..

Whatever..

.

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE!

& I hope that you feel better soon. :)

That’s a bummer but I don’t think COVID complication risk hereditary. You are much younger too. There are allergic complications but they are very rare and not that. If you were allergic you would have been affected by the first shot.

Thing is that he never had any problems with the first 2 shots or the first booster. (which confuses me about it even more)

IDK.

There are so many questions still but I wouldn't take that as a sign. Were the first 2 before covid? You said he had covid over the summer so doing the 6 month in-between math that would seem likely. I know that if you can get a 2nd bout after covid as if it was not completely gone. Maybe the 2nd booster was a trigger.

So you’re saying you don’t like cold. I’ve stuck my head in my freezer before for various reasons. It has its benefits. Just don’t get your tongue stuck on anything. I read a story a long time ago about a guy doing that. His tiny young daughter had the sense to call 911 even though he couldn’t tell her to call. 🤭

I hope you’re feeling better by the time you read this. I’ve had all my shots and they didn’t bither me a bot. 🍀

Do you remember those metal ice trays? I got my tongue stuck on that.

oh, gosh…yeah. So you were a tongue sticker, I bet you only did it once. I haven’t seen metal ice trays in ages. Hazardous to your health….

Argh…..🤭

Myself and one of my friends were saying about when we have had injections on our periods they make them heavier and last longer.

Back in June I had my second mmr jab and was on my period and it was heavier and longer than usual and the same happened recently when I had my fourth covid jab.

We've been lucky for all 5 covid jabs with only arm soreness. We even got the flu 💉 shot in the same arm at the same time as the new bivalent booster with no extra issues. My 86 Year old Dad just got his covid booster yesterday and he doesn't even have a sore arm.

I'm just getting over covid for the first time. Really grateful I got all of the shots and boosters, it did not get into my chest and I only felt really crappy for a few days. I actually lost 5 pounds, although kind of a miserable way to do it. I had a sore arm when I got the last booster but I would take that any day over the covid.

If sticking my head in a freezer would help me to sleep I'd do it, but my freezer is the top part section of my fridge and whilst if it were empty I could stick my head in there, it might freeze my whirling thoughts, but it's full and only space in it to stick the tip of my finger. I have insomnia I'm exhausted completely.
