Unnumbered post 2nd shot 1 Mar 2021

[RoyceNewton]

G'Day beloved ms family. Reporting in that the 2nd covid(China Virus shot) went well. Absolutely no issues, slept well and my arm does not hurt. I did move it last night and have avoided weights this morning. Probably an extreme caution. She who must be obeyed says she is a little sore, but she slept on her left side where she got her shot. I did drink water, and tea last night but I do that with every injection or blood draw.

No worries mate, she'll be right. As "YOU" can get your injection, I did it significantly before and after the needle.

I still DO NOT like needles

I wish you hadn't used a racial term in your post. This needs to be a safe place for all of us, no matter our ancestry or national origin.

[RoyceNewton in reply to goatgal]

racist term? what racist term I am pretty sure I never mention any race except Homo Sapien, correct me if I am wrong, please

[kdali in reply to RoyceNewton]

The world/media decided a year ago that calling this virus by it’s location of origin was “racist”.

such is life

Words have consequences. There have been random harmful attacks on (and at least one death of) Asian Americans accused of causing the pandemic.

You said it correctly the first time. Glad you had no issues with either shot. I had a fever of 100.4 next day, after 2nd shot, with chills all that day. Since my normal temp is about 97, that was a little high. It went away, but it triggered a flare for me. I've been having my foggy head issues now for 3 weeks. Having sleep problems too, which might contribute to the continuation for so long. I'm trying to wear it out without steroids. Trying to be tougher than it is.

good work sorry it did not go well, hope you get through it quick

Oh. My! A flare ?! From the fever ?

[4fishylady in reply to kandykone1]

Well, since getting hot from anything makes me feel bad, I figure the "cooking" from the fever just made it worse. Don't know for sure, but will be sure to ask my Neuro at next appt. Maybe I should have tried my "cooling vest"!

Ty for sharing your experience 😱 I was wondering if any of us were needing steroids to get us through the shots, but I have not read many who mentioned it. I hope the worst is over for you! 🙏

[4fishylady in reply to kdali]

I had thought someone in the MS arena was going to ask us about our experiences, but have not seen the questionnaire come up. I wanted to see what the other experiences were before I got the shots.

Just had my first covid vaccine shot, and outside of a sore arm for half the next day, no worries.

[4fishylady in reply to msjoy333]

Terrific! Glad you got by with no problem!

[RoyceNewton in reply to 4fishylady]

no no problem at all

Glad that it went well and that you're done with it, Royce
