Shop Talk / Moderna Vaccination
« Last post by slakr on January 25, 2021, 06:30:20 am »So I received my moderna vaccination a couple of weeks ago. My cell phone service has increased exponentially with no more dropped calls! Just kidding.
For those who are hesitant and not sure, here is a breakdown of how it went for myself.
10:30 am: went to the clinic, they asked me my medical history. They asked me if I was allergic to glycol. None that I know of. No allergies. I ask questions, they answer.
10:40 am: sit and wait.
10:41 am: ready for the shot. They needle looks huge, they fill it up with a large gauge tip. Then change it, okay good. Normal size needle.
10:42 am: they ask me to wait 15 minutes to see if I have a reaction.
10:58 am: ready to go, no reaction. Had a nice box of apple juice.
11:30 am: arm feels okay. No worries.
12:00 pm: feel a slight pinch in my neck. Arm feels tender.
12:30 pm: I have an extra strength Tylenol.
1:30 pm: feel a little sweaty.
1:35 pm: a serious fart. A new smell, it’s a moderna fart! Aha.
2:30 pm: feel stiff neck.
3:40 pm: I can feel my arm tender. It feels like a slight hangover throughout my body.
4:34 pm: hungry, normal appetite.
6:45 pm: arm is sore, not very sore but I feel it.
8:30 pm: it does feel like a slight hangover. I have some water to hydrate.
9:00 pm: I have another Tylenol.
10:00 pm: I am tired and crash soon. Nothing out of ordinary, I was called into work at 5:00 am so I was tired.
11:55 pm: I usually sleep on my left side. I was sleeping on my back and when I rolled over in bed I woke up cause that hurt.
Next morning.
06:00 am: wake up hungry. Arm is sore.
06:05 am: lift arm to get a coffee cup, won’t do that again. Went halfway and that was sore. Use right arm.
06:10 am: another Tylenol.
06:15 am: another stinky fart.
06:30 am: have some toast.
07:55 am: arm is tender but okay.
10:00 am: try lift arm, and still sore.
12:00 pm: my neck isn’t as sore and feeling better.
5:00 pm: have another Tylenol.
7:00 pm: good moderna poop. Aha.
9:00 pm: in bed, laying on stomach is easier. But won’t sleep on left arm yet.
Next day, 2 days after shot.
7:00 am: restful sleep. My arm feels better
8:30 am: can lift arm better.
9:00 am: neck feels normal.
10:00 am: normal fart.
7:00 pm: no more tenderness in arm.
Next day: 3 days after shot. Arm feels normal. No issues with neck.
Now everything I hear is that the second Moderna booster shot may be a little stronger. But we shall see. I will post another update after I receive it, should be on February 12th. I consider myself lucky to have early access to this vaccination. I travel for work so I do need protection. How long it will, we shall see. But I feel fine.
