Had the booster at 5:30 pm last night

Covid in one arm, flu in the other.

My arms ache, my head hurts, and I have chills and fever.

I had no problems with the 2 original shots in May.

Called in sick, going back to bed.

1. Had the same reaction. You will be fine tomorrow.

2. So very sorry. Do you have any chicken soup? I know it may sound trite.

Chicken soup has kept me going for the last couple of years.
If you were near, I'd make sure you had some.
Wishing you well.
Hang tight.

4. Thank you 7wo7rees

I don't have chicken soup, I'm vegetarian. It does sound good though.

I have a bowl of hot oatmeal with blueberries. Should warm me up.

7. You're very kind.

Not enough kind people in the world, we need more like you.

3. Two days of chills fatigue, sore skin, aching joints. Then poof, it was gone.

I took a little nap on the afternoon of the second day, and when I woke up an hour or so later, I knew right away I'd turned the corner. More of a reaction to the booster than to either of the first two shots, don't know why. Hopefully you'll be back to feeling normal in no time, and well-protected to boot.

5. thanks

I guess it would have been better to do this on Friday so as not to miss work.

But I thought I would be ok.

I guess we've had the same experience.

6. Sounds that way. It felt like I could've had a fever but my thermometer battery was dead

I timed the booster for a few free days just in case, and very glad I did. Hopefully you don't work weekends and have the couple days to feel better and when Monday rolls around, you'll feel very normal. The fatigue didn't hang around any longer than the other symptoms, it's kinda interesting how fast it disappears when your body says okay, we're all good here!

8. I had both booster and flu shots together and was sick three days.

Was sicker for the booster than with the first two shots.
Was fine on 4th day.

12. I stayed in bed almost all day today.

There goes the weekend.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yep. Same here. In bed all day.

For three days. Hope yours go quicker.

But it beats going to the hospital and being intubated or dying.

10. I had the Moderna booster.

No symptoms whatsoever except a sore arm. Same with my husband who had Pfizer.

Hope you feel better soon.

11. I got mine at 2:30 on Thursday.

I am mostly tired, groggy, and have a headache along with a sore arm. I've had pretty similar reactions each time.

14. Same thing happened to me...

Since I did not have any side effects from the two original shots, I figured I didn’t need to worry about the booster.

hah

Of course I didn’t have two at once, even so, with just the booster I felt lousy.

You’ll feel better before too long. Good luck!
