On Thursday March 4th, hubby and I got our 2nd Covid vaccinations at 11:00 in the morning. No real difference from our first shots, 28 days prior. Sore arms and we went about our day as usual. To make a long story short ...hubby had no other reactions. Me? I spent the next 4 and 1/2 days in various stages of misery.
Friday - Friday morning I woke up with chills, fever (102 was the highest temp of the day ) body aches, fatigue, and super nausea! I have stomach issues anyway, so I had my meds to help me cope with the nausea. Tylenols took care of the rest. Ate nothing, but did drink small amounts of water. I basically slept on and off all day, and through the night.
Saturday - Pretty much the same as Friday. A bit of brain fog was a new addition. Did notice a rash on where I'd gotten the injection, and the area was warm and sore. I kept drinking water, chamomile tea (calms a queasy stomach and I love it anyway) and managed to get down some crackers or dry toast.
Sunday - Felt a bit better. Nausea has subsided a lot. Fevers hovered around 99 to 100. Headaches on and off. Still felt exhausted. I did eat some crackers, a toasted waffle or 2, toast, and jello. Hubby had picked up some Gatorade for me to give me a boost. Slept a lot, but was awake more so I binged on Netflix, Amazon Prime, whatever.
Monday - Fever was gone, headaches gone. Stomach issues still improving. Still had body aches and fatigue, but I was more functional. I did nap, but moved around more. Still eating light.
Tuesday (day 5) pretty much back to normal. Not really hungry, but snacked more often.
And now it's Wednesday March 10th. Feeling pretty much back to normal. Had a waffle for breakfast, went out with hubby for a ride to enjoy the beautiful weather. We shared a Subway sandwich on the road ... and I had my first REAL dinner. Chicken, noodles, and green beans. Still feel a bit tired, but nothing compared to what I had felt like almost 5 days ago.
Some folks might not agree with me ... but despite the side effects I've experienced, I'm glad I chose to get the Covid 19 vaccine.
What's in the FUTURE for any of us ... who knows? I am a Breast Cancer Survivor, and if I've learned anything, it's this. Life, itself, is all about making choices. Simply, you should do what you feel is RIGHT for YOU. Your life is your ... journey.
