Coronavirus Thread of Doom

[Flex]

I got my shot at around 11am on Friday, and felt just a little groggy and tired the rest of the day, feeing more "normal" in the evening. Then around 11pm or so (so, about 12 hours later) I had a fever spike and just the worst chills I can remember ever feeling (I was shaking so bad I dropped my toothbrush) and spent the night alternating between shaking chills and sweating through my bedsheets. Also, aches all over my body throughout the night and morning. I was probably delirious enough I didn't really know what I was doing. Anyways, the missus had been seeing her parents and came back Saturday morning and got my fever broken with some Tylenol and so I was just back to feeling mostly tired and foggy brained the rest of the day as I kept my tylenol dosage up.

By Sunday morning I was totally fine.

Addedum: I think if I'd just thought to take Tylenol around hour 11 after the shot I could have controlled a lot of the symptoms, so thats my big recommendation.

I've had the Peter Criss line, "I was vaccinated with a Victrola needle" in my head all day. It's like he saw the future.

I take it back. No club.

Ha.

How were you feeling this weekend? I felt hungover on Saturday (I did have two beers on Friday, but I'm not THAT much of a lightweight). It wasn't enough to get me out of four hours of grunt work deck/pool demo with the in laws, but enough to make me feel like crap the whole time. Felt a lot better yesterday and I'm probably 100% today.

*edit* - already posted I see.

Had my second shot yesterday. I'm thankful that my job got me done earlier than I would have. So much looking forward to some kind of normality some time soon.

Whoo hoo! I hope you didn't have too many side effects.

None at all. I was in the pub next day as I can tell from the KISS thread.

Fuck ofg.

The Boss and will finally be age-eligible tomorrow. I imagine it'll be a bit of a wait to get an appointment, tho. I have a week of grading ahead of me, so I'm not too bothered by a delay, esp. if side effects might keep me from work.

My wife got her second jab today, what a relief. I got to wait til June probably? But that's fine, let all the oldies get it first.

this is something i meant to ask you and jack on the 'cast saturday, but is the UK doing a lot of 1/2 regimens? That is, only administering the first dose out of the 2-dose vaccines? I've read about that but wasn't sure if people were mostly signing up with the expectation that they'll be getting the full 2 doses or not.

Addendum: And great to hear that Ni got jab #2!

No, it's all expected that they'll get both, but cos of Ni's vulnerable position, she had the 2nd shot expedited, which was great. She's doing okay so far.

Haha, didn't even catch that. No, keep it to yourself!

I thought I had heard that it's recommended to not take Tylenol for 24 hours, am I misremembering that?

I recall something about not taking it BEFORE your vaccination, CCD seems to believe that if you have no underlying medical conditions, then it's OK to take it AFTER your shot.

The 3 of us are all half vaxxed. We should all be done by 5/13. Im a bit worried about the wife's 2nd shot as she's tends to have more exaggerated experiences than most.

I just spoke to Maggie and she informed me that I had it backward—the nurse told her to ONLY take Tylenol after the shot. I knew the word Tylenol was in there somewhere!

I'm waiting for you to report that your doctor friend says turnip juice is better than any vaccine.
