So, how long does the Descent into Hell take after Shot #2?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

Creeping up on 6 hours here shortly and feel pretty normal so far

Dang, where is the 'fingers crossed' emoji?

When does the misery kick in, normally?

[redstateblues]

1. The day after second shot I had

A little fatigue. That’s it.

[we can do it]

50. Same here.

[ChazII]

56. Dull head and fatigue

like many others. Stay hydrated and exercise the arm that had the injection. When it came to the hydrating part I made sure the liquids I drank had electrolytes as well as regulate water.

[Celerity]

2. Other than slightly sore arms, which were gone the next day, we had no reactions to either dose.

[TheRealNorth]

3. Not everyone gets sick after shot #2

[Mr.Bill]

8. Both shots no problem here.

Moderna.

[LonePirate]

4. It was almost 24 hours after my second shot (Moderna) before it hit me.

I was exhausted during hours 24-36 but then it started to wane and I was pretty much back to 100% around the 48 hour mark.

The second Pfizer shot seems to induce fewer side effects from the people I know who have had it. Not sure what the difference is between the two.

Still, drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest and you should be fine, even if it takes an extra day.

[Rstrstx]

40. Was about 26 hours for me

It came on quickly, within 10-15 minutes or so. Before that all I had was a sore arm. You feel like you’re on the verge of getting really sick but it doesn’t pan out, an early trip to bed fixes a lot of it (Moderna)

[Chautauquas]

5. I felt sick about 6 or 7 hours after the shot

nothing too bad but I did wake up in the middle of the night with a mild fever, 15 hours after getting jabbed, and then I felt like I had a bad cold for the next 2 days. That was pretty much it.

[Kali]

6. son got symptoms about 6 to 8 hours after second shot

lasted about a night and part of next day. husband had sore arm again and we had no other side effects.

[brewens]

7. I had nothing except the slightly sore arm. After the first I got hit with fatigue pretty bad.

I wondered if i could make it to bed. If that's what some people experienced for in some cases a long time, it would be horrible.

Mine was Pfizer btw.

[sprinkleeninow]

9. Pour vous:

🤞

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. Merci!

[sprinkleeninow]

16. Backatcha

[elleng]

10. During day 2, but things improve during day 3/4.

Do not panic, breathe, drink water, relax.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

12. That's a lot of stuff to avoid right there ... not sure I can manage all 4 ;) nt

[byronius]

13. Meh. Wasn't bad for me.

I think it's age-related. No immediate symptoms, but definite fatigue for a week. Pfizer for me.

Tonight is my two-week fully vaccinated mark. And I feel GREAT.

[woodsprite]

14. Hubby and I got the Pfizer shot and we were fine for both.

He said his arm hurt like a tetanus shot, but I was told by the nurse to stay hydrated and work my arm after I got home from shot #2. I had a few chills for a couple hours around 2am and was mildly sore the next day but nothing more. When I got home from the shot, I did a few push-ups when I got home and put away dishes in the upper cabinets.

[stopdiggin]

15. my experience. NADA.

I could maybe tell a little tiny soreness at site -- but that's really reaching for something.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

28. My arm was definitely sore last time near the site for about 72 hours

It didn't hurt if I did nothing with it but raising arm or applying pressure def. hurt a bit. Like a 2-3 on the pain scale.

This time I think the doctor was a bit better at giving shots, AND I came home and iced it for about 30 mins. Figure it can't hurt.

I felt fine after 1st one, no symptoms but the arm. We'll see what happens tho.

I have some work I really have to get done this weekend is why I'm stressing a bit.

[2naSalit]

17. Any minute now, stay vigilant!

When you hear Bill Gates tell you that you are connected, you'll know!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

29. I'z hoping I can get Windows Support just by talking into my shoulder for sure (nt)

[2naSalit]

36. Depends on how many amalgam filling you have in your teeth.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

38. I have a few, plus my phone does 5G so that should help I'd think (nt)

[chillfactor]

18. I decended into hell after the first shot.....

laid me up for four days.Second shot next Friday.....scared to death what will happen to me then.

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. I thought I was only one in hell after 1st shot, of Moderna.

Was fine for a few days, then suddenly unable to do anything, my legs felt like logs, took maximum effort to fall down on the bed. Zero appetite, zero interest in anything except plotting how to trek into the bathroom if needed.z
No fever, no tummy issues, no pain, simply could not move much, and the brain turned to mush.
4 days later, I started slowly feeling better. Took a week total to feel human again.

Shot 2 is in 2 weeks.......😯

[Amishman]

62. Same, extreme fatigue after shot one, dreading number 2

Shot one had me very tired (borderline unable to function) starting about 6 hours after, that lasted about a day.

Pfizer

[rickyhall]

19. I got a lousy shooter second time. Stuck in the muscle, I guess, hurt for three days.

Odd thing though, swelling under my arm, went down next day. Moderna

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

20. It hit me the next day

or in your case, tomorrow If you experience what I did, prepare to have zero energy, take a nap and veg all day. The following day I was fine.

[Crunchy Frog]

21. i had the Pfizer. I didn't feel any side effects apart from sore arm until the next day,

a little more than 24 hours after the shot. Mine wasn't really that bad, but I got chills, and probably a bit of a fever, as well as some body aches and a minor headache. By the time I woke up the next day, I was pretty much feeling back to normal.

It really varies from person to person. I hope things go easy for you.

I now receive satellite radio broadcasts in my brain, so it's not all bad.

[Metaphorical]

23. I've had first shot, not second - Pfizer

My wife and both daughters went in at the same time. I went home and slept for about four hours, was kind of low on energy for the next couple of days, My wife and one daughter had a sore arm, but no other real side effects, but the other daughter fell asleep for about four hours. We'll be getting shot two next week.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. I think it depends on the individual and the vaccine.

I've only known one person personally who had a reaction after Pfizer shot #2 and it was that she couldn't stay awake. With the Moderna, which I had, there were more and varied reactions. I felt fine until later that night and had to go to bed with severe chills which continued through the next day - and I felt pretty rotten the next day too, the chills continued along with nausea, though I have heard that others experienced slight fevers. But I was so relieved that I was finally able to get the vaccine that I was grateful - it was obviously working. And whatever reaction you have is not long lasting and it's sure better than the alternative. Just hang in there!

[Grasswire2]

25. Getting the J&J tomorrow.

One shot.

The weird thing is that I currently have an infection in my foot and my podiatrist told me to let him know if I develop a fever (without him knowing I was about to get the shot).

I won't know which is causing the fever, if I get one.

[cayugafalls]

26. I was fine after my second. Wishing you the same.

Stay well, Mr L

[blogslug]

27. I felt side effects about 12 hours after my second shot of Moderna, this last Wednesday

General yuckiness, mild nausea, chills and a slight headache. I drank lots of water and took many naps. By noon the next day I wasn't perfect but I felt a lot better.

[lunatica]

30. It's an overnight thing

You wake up in hell. But it isn’t long before you take your first nap. It’s all better after that and the subsequent naps.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

31. Thanks everybody!!!

[IcyPeas]

32. Had #2 Moderna last night (Thursday) at 7 pm at Rite Aid

Today a bit of a sore arm is all.

Drink water, take Tylenol if necessary and move the arm around occasionally.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

34. I was thinking more like whiskey, percs, and weed, but I'll take your advice under consideration

Glad to hear you're solid already and it was never bad. Hoping for that.

[IcyPeas]

37. Whatever floats yer boat...

[Snackshack]

45. Just what the Dr. ordered! 😀

[Treefrog]

54. Whiskey and weed worked for me!

[DFW]

33. It's supposedly different with everyone

However, if you suddenly see Mike Lindell and Marjorie Greene sitting across from you, inviting you to attend a golf game in New Jersey for $25,000, scream for about ten seconds, drink a liter of water, call for your Mama, and don't leave your bed for ten hours. The symptoms should start to lessen by then.

If not, take two aspirin and call your doctor in the morning.

No, wait! I forgot. This is 2021. Call his answering machine, choose 4 for the first question, 2 for the second question, 1 for the third question, and answer "hell if I know!" to the fourth question. He'll call YOU in the morning, depending upon whether or not there is cell phone service in that part of Bermuda.

[GulfCoast66]

35. 2nd Pfizer 3 weeks ago.

Slightly sore arm no worse then a tetanus shot for less than 24 hours. Otherwise nothing.

I chalk it up to the celebratory bourbon I had that night!

On edit. 2nd Pfizer 5 weeks ago. I’ve been 3 weeks fully vaccinated.

You’ll be fine. And safe from all Covid variants.

[No Vested Interest]

39. No after-affects from my Pfizer back in Jan. & Feb. Good luck...

[budkin]

41. Took about 24 hours for me

Get the Tylenol ready.

[Generic Brad]

58. Same here

Fortunately it lasted only 12 hours.

[monkeyman1]

42. had both & no side affects for 3 wk's . i'm 72 yrs old !

[GReedDiamond]

43. Both shots...I felt...NOTHING...

...except a slight muscle pain at the injection site.

Also, next day, some fatigue, not much more than usual.

[AmBlue]

46. Felt nothing after #2

My arm was a little sore is all.. I had the Pfizer. Chin up!!

[Kaleva]

47. An afternoon nap the day after the 2nd shot took care of a feeling of extreme fatigue.

That was the only side effect, other then a sore arm, that I experienced.

[multigraincracker]

48. My side effect from both shots were so

pleasurable that I'm thinking about sneaking in a third one.

Off to COVID shot rehab for me.

[Klaralven]

49. I think it takes 3 to 6 months for -

The mRNA to be reverse transcribed into DNA, for the DNA to become incorporated into the chromosomes, for the cells to begin making massive amounts of new mRNA, for massive amounts of resulting spike protein to flood your body causing a massive immune reaction resulting in total organ failure and death as part of the Bill Gates depopulation program.

Or so I've seen on the Internet!

Good luck.

(I got my shots in Feb/March. Slightly sore arm for a couple days each. Ready to go any day now...)

[GoCubsGo]

51. It doesn't kick in.

The "misery" part is grossly overblown, unless you have a very low tolerance for some possible discomfort. If you are going to have any sort of reaction, which most people don't, it will come any time between a few hours and a day or two. There is no "Hell." Just some tiredness, if that, and maybe some chills, joint aches, and a slight fever, and possibly a headache, for which you can Tylenol or whatever you usually take for it.

[Mad_Machine76]

52. Pfizarian here

All I can remember having is what felt like a slight fever (I couldn’t find the thermometer) on Day 2 but it wasn’t debilitating and don’t recall anything else.

[rownesheck]

53. 19 yo son felt like poop

all the next day (yesterday). He hasn't arisen from his dank cave yet this morning for me to see how he's feeling today. Seems like it's hit or miss on feeling fine/ terrible. My next shot is next week, so fingers crossed!

[USALiberal]

55. I had no response! Nt

[alittlelark]

57. I had a Great Immune system response after 8-10 hrs

and felt like hell for 6 hrs, then weak for 14 or so hrs, then AWESOME cuz I was vaxxed !!

[FakeNoose]

59. My #2 shot of Pfizer made me a little woozy and tired

... but no temperature, nausea or anything else. I just took an aspirin and a long nap. It was all over in less than 24 hours.

It really wasn't bad, and I'm not even sure that the tiredness was caused by the vaccine, or maybe just my relief from anxiety.

[MineralMan]

60. Most people have no serious side effects at all.

A few, however, do have some symptoms. The vast majority, though, either have no symptoms or some mild fatigue and headache that goes away with some Tylenol.

Don't psyche yourself into having symptoms.

[newdayneeded]

61. Pfizer

the first shot i had a headache and felt pukey with a sore arm. the second shot only a very sore arm. the second shot the lady reached for something on the desk and bent the needle while in my arm. So my arm was killing me for 2 days.

[haele]

63. I had joint pains/weakness about four hours later.

Cleared up in about two hours. Just tired afterwards for about twelve hours. I'm starting day two and everything seems to be okay still.

Second Pfizer was yesterday at 0900. Two weeks to go!

Haele

[Buckeye_Democrat]

64. Different for various peeps.

The feelings of fatigue and slight light-headedness hit me almost exactly 24 hours later. Then I checked my temperature again despite not feeling hot, and it was suddenly 101F.

Some people have aches too, but not me.

Edit: It wasn't that bad. I just felt fortunate to be at home where I could sleep.
