Coronavirus Thread of Doom

[Kory]

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 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.

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.

He'll probably say the vaccine is for losers. In any case, I just got my first shot.

Crab juice ...Turnip juice. It's getting very juicy round these parts today.

Loser.

(We're officially on any number of lists now. I'm not expecting a call before, like, ten days.)

I took a quick peek at the first few pages of this thread. Oh how we were so young and hopeful …

The Coronavirus Thread Of Good News certainly lost the reply race.

It turned into the Coronavirus Thread of Black Humour.

We were. Yikes.

And Wally was still with us.

I'm not keen on the toddler getting a nasty virus. Or having to take care of a toddler while I have a nasty virus, that's no fun. Sure, it is highly unlikely that it would kill us, but I do have grandparents (though I hope the one far along with dementia would catch it and go).

Got two less grandparents a year later (0 from COVID as far as we know). Seemingly got a false positive as well, but otherwise grateful. Six months at home with the toddler was rough, but we made it through and got some good quality time with her.

Oof. That all seems so recent.

I know. You don't have to go back that far in our most active threads to see George Best.

He was a good one.

Yeah, I read back through those first few pages and he was with us again. Miss the bloke.

I heard from a frontline medical friend this weekend that everyone's favourite online retailer has been delaying reporting positive cases in Ontario warehouses to keep their numbers just below the threshold that requires them to shut down. Basically sitting on results until there's room to add them to the covid list.

Why should stockholders suffer from this too? Think of the portfolios!
