    The 2nd Moderna Shot Holy Moly Did It Kick My Butt!

    The first one wasn't bad, sore arm for a few days, the second one I was fine the rest of that day and most of the next but then that night, 36hrs after the 2nd shot it got me bad! Shakes, chills, teeth clenched, couldn't get enough blankets, it's 75 degrees in here and I was wrapped up in an insulated flannel jacket, I tried to pee I was shivering and shaking so bad I'm sure I peed all over the floor and the seat.

    Now today I am over the chills and shakes but I feel like the proverbial shot at and missed, **** at and hit. Don't much want to move.

    I had 1st Pfizer shot this past Monday......only a sore arm overnight. The darned needle is over 2" long!

    I get my 2nd one in 3 weeks. Hope I do not have those reactions!

    Wife had the "scoots" overnight but no other bad reactions.

    Hope you get to feeling better.

    Takes 2 weeks after the SECOND shot for immunity to be in full gear for you personally, but you can still spread it, so the say. Looks like masks for another year?!?!?!?!?!?

    Sorry to hear it's beating you down. I just saw this video the other day and hearing stories like yours only reinforces my stand of not getting the shot. I've been testing my immune system since birth. Drinking from hoses, playing in the creek, eating food right from the ground, drinking milk right from the cow. With a 99% survival rate I'll take my chances.

    Weird it won't post the video. Here is the link.

    So basically the video is now unplayable, but the gist of the story is a nursing home is now having a covid outbreak amongst the vaccinated residents and workers.

    Here is a link to the news stations article.

    Yeah did all that, ate raw oysters, I'm old now and had cancer 3x and I got Cardiac issues so my immune system might not be keeping me as immune as it used to. I'll take the shots what are they going to do kill me? LOL they might have to wait in line behind all the other things that want to do me in..

    I had the Pfizer. The nurse told me the second one was causing some people more problems than the first, but both of mine affected me pretty much the same. A bit of soreness at the injection site and felt tired for about a day or so otherwise no problems. Most of the members of my extended family sixty or over have had one or both of theirs with no known problems. This includes two who do not get flu vaxxes for having had bad reactions in the past.

    Now that my shooting partner has had both of his we can go down to the show in Orlando in about ten days.
    Chance favors the prepared mind.

    Sounds like your immune system is working how it should. You may need to give it a well deserved vacation for all that overtime it seems like it has put in. Like I previously said sorry it's beating you down.

    Pfizer shot #2 gave me a fever for a couple days but I think a reaction means it is working.

    My wife got her second Moderna shot on a Friday, and spent the rest of the weekend in bed. It really wiped her out for a couple of days. I get my second Moderna shot on Friday 3/19, first shot was just a sore arm.

    I had my second Moderna shot a week ago today. Had a sore arm for three days but no other reaction. I'm 82 years old.

    I got a reaction to the second shot like I had a case of the flu. It was kind of bad for a day and a half, but on the second day it cleared up by the end of the day. As much as I didn’t like the reaction to the shot, it beats the heck out of getting Covid. The reason it “kicks in” on the second shot is that your immune system recognizes it and attacks it.....it’s supposed to do that. I know people who got Covid and believe me, the worst reaction to the shot simply pales to getting Covid. I know one person who got Covid and died in one day....gasping for air like a fish out of water. Get the shot, it’s REAL.

    I got the J&J shot Friday. Sore arm for a few days. Wife got hers today. Same thing, arm is a bit sore. You are right, the needle is long. Asked if they were giving the shot or going for bone marrow!!! They ignored me.

    Hmmmm...did not want to hear that Doug. First Moderna shot my arm wasn't even sore. Got the second yesterday afternoon, (Wednesday), about 4:30 PM. Not had the first side effect....yet. Got a headache today but given the weather we're having I'd bet it all that's sinus.

    Wife's arm was sore first shot. Her second was last Saturday. Sunday she was tired, Monday she was fine then Tuesday she "don't feel good and am really tired." She also had a dose of the flyin' axe handles......scoots as bangerjim said.

    Neither of us wanted to get the vaccine but the wife's immune system is so compromised all her doctors insisted she get it. So I wanted to get it for her. All we know and are told about all of it I don't think half of it is believable. Yes it's real, assuredly so but, my goodness....the left has so politicized and used it for their advantage you don't know who's telling the truth and who's lying. There's a lot of sincere liars out there.

    We had our first moderna last week. No effects at all.

    But I'm ready if I have some sort of reaction.
    I hate going to the hospital because they have all those sick people in there.

    I may have to try some more traditional type medicine. Like singing some chants and sacrificing a goat.

    I had the Phizer vaccine. The first shot resulted in a sore arm, the second shot 3 weeks later and about 4 or 5 hours after the injection started getting the chills. I went to bed and slept all night, woke sore all over. I took two Tylenol and was fine in about an hour.

    I had Johnson. Zero side effects. Injection site had almost no soreness, less than any flu shot I've previously had. I'm glad to be done with it. Hopefully, having the shot will open the door for work related travel.

    I know many people that had a confirmed case of the china virus, and I know many people that had the shot(s). In every instance, the reaction to the shot(s) was worse than the virus.

    Then again, I don't know anyone that died from it. Yet.

    Got my second Moderna shot Tues. Sore arm but not much else until Wed AM. Then sore, existing back issues inflamed, can't raise my right arm over my head without pain, and so exhausted at the end of the day I went to bed at 8:30PM, slept like a log until had to use the bathroom at 2:15AM, then slept until 6AM. I took Naproxen Sodium Wed. AM and that kept me going through the day. I felt it when it wore off and took another, which allowed me to sleep. Woke up this morning with a minor sore arm and am back to 98% normal now.
