Covid Struck Again

@moffittjc Sorry to hear it kicked your butt I hope the second dose goes better for you.

@Tina30219 I'm not going to lie, I'm scared of getting that second dose.

They told me that since I had recently had the virus that the first shot would probably kick my butt. And it did. They were not liars. lol

It's weird, because I've always had such a strong immune system throughout my life, and then one little virus comes along and turns my world upside down. It's crazy!

@DianneN After all I've been through with this virus, I should be immune for the rest of my life!

@moffittjc That 19 did you in. Hope the next shot isn’t bad. At least you will have a better chance of remaining Covid free.

His doctor told him he is a little girl and to quit complaining so much.

Like DE said, I'm a little girl and I complain a lot! haha Actually, my doctor was the one who said that he expected me to get really sick after the first shot, since I just recently had the virus.

@DaddyEvil Well poo on you! I didn't listen to my doctor. I'd rather cry like a little girl.

@moffittjc Good luck with yours.

I've heard the same thing. I'm hoping what I'm hearing about the second shot is true. I get my second shot on June 15.

@Blondie2222 I just realized my son's high school graduation is June 18th, so there's no way I'm going to get the second shot a few days before that when there is a chance I could get sick. So I will push back the second shot until about June 21st or 22nd.

I wanted the Pfizer shot, and that's what my local pharmacy was offering up until recently, and then they switched to Modern. Everybody has been telling me that the Moderna shot hits you the worst out of all of them. I had the choice between Modern and Johnson & Johnson, but I had no plans to go anywhere near that J&J vaccine. Been hearing too many bad stories about it.

@moffittjc The J&J one and done idea is wonderful, but the quality control results on that shot are terrible. I have heard that the after effects from the moderna vaccine are rough. The alternative, which would be the Astra-Zeneca shot has a bad track record. I personally know of someone who's Dad, who is in his early 60's had the A-Z shot and shortly after that he had a heart attack. The heart attack was due to his heart being full of blood clots, none of which can be removed, all of which they attribute to the brand of vaccine he received. I feel so badly for him. He worked his entire career, retired, moved from out west to our province so that he and his wife could be closer to their 2 grown sons, and found a new place to buy, and then took the wrong vaccine. There is so much research that needs to be done on that front.

@Juliaacv That's such terrible news to hear. I wish we had more time available to study the vaccines more closely before releasing them publicly. But we kinda had our backs against the wall so to speak, and governments and pharmaceutical companies had to weigh the risks against the benefits.

What I've been hearing is 50-50 needing the vaccine and not needing it. Everyone agrees that I have natural immunity, but nobody can agree on how long I will have that natural immunity. So some say I need to get the shot to boost the immunity, and some say I can wait 6 months to a year. But since work is currently offering a $150 bonus for getting the shot, I figured I'd go for it and get the shot so I can collect the bonus.

@CarolDM Thanks. I'm going to need all the luck I can get. lol

@moffittjc I guess it comes down to a personal choice. I do wish you luck Jeff.

@moffittjc Right I hope when I get it it does not hit me hard I hope I get nothing from it

The weird thing about this virus--and the vaccine--is that it hits everybody differently.

@moffittjc very one goes through it differently. No fun.

After being sick for 3 days, I've still got a bad headache and dizziness a week later.

@ShyBear88 That's what sucks about this virus, you have no consistent examples of what to expect. This virus is all over the place when it comes to symptoms.

You're so lucky! I have just had so much bad luck with this stupid virus, I just can't seem to win.

@moffittjc I dont know what they are mostly doing here now. Last I heard it was still pfizer mostly.

Yes, my doctor said that Moderna has the worst side effects of them all. I was hoping to get the Pfizer shot, but it seems that every place around here has switched to Moderna. In the beginning, Pfizer was the only vaccine available here in my area, but now it seems that only Moderna is available now.

@moffittjc true. I just felt like lying down the whole day yesterday

Fatigue and tiredness are side effects of the vaccine.

Glad to hear that you are fine. Covid has hit your country so hard recently.

@Prabhatsingh I hope you stay safe. Please be careful.

@moffittjc Yeah, it has. Well, there are faults from everybody that why it has hit us hard.

Yes, everything is all right now. But I still have to go back in 2 weeks to get my second vaccination shot. I'm not looking forward to that at all.

If the vaccine gives you a fighting chance of staying alive and not dying from the virus, then I say it's worth the risk.

I think you're right about that. That's just how my body decided to react.

@moffittjc How are you feeling now?

@tammys85 I'm doing really well right now. Just about a week and a half until I go back for my second shot. I'll be so glad when it's all over and done.

I timed my first shot so that I would be asleep when the symptoms started kicking in. Unfortunately, my symptoms didn't really start kicking in until almost a full 24 hours had passed.

I think it definitely was related to me having had the virus already. Plus, having it recently.

Don't remind me....I still have to go back and get my second shot.

It sucks having to go through that after getting the shot, but it definitely is a sign that the vaccine is working and the immune system is developing a response.

@DocAndersen Haha, it wouldn't bother me. I've heard too many people tell me that they had no reaction at all, or only a minor reaction.

@moffittjc yes, yes and sorry it hit you. i won't tell you about my reaction.
