COVID-19

[Sass Muffin]

I am set to get my first shot tonight.

Can I take Ibuprofen/Advil or do I have to take Tylenol for soreness etc.?

I've read no Ibuprofen/Advil just Tylenol. Others say Ibuprofen/Advil is fine.

Can someone give me simple yes/no.

Tylenol.
And drink a LOT of water.

I hope you don't need to take anything. I didn't. The worst of my first vaccine was a sore arm for a couple of days, but no worse than a flu shot.

Ditto. Same with second shot.

Good to know, makes me feel better about getting the second shot .

My son Jeff had a reaction to his, for 24 hrs. I told him the vaccine was doing it's job.
Now my son Ty, mister toughie redneck refuses to get it.
Of course when he was in his teens he always refused the flu shot too.
Can't force him, especially now that he's bigger than me.?

Peeps, you're going to be ok.
Hugs

I got my second shot Thursday and have COVID arm still.. Craig got his friday. We both felt a little blah, but nothing serious. I'm going to have to take more Benadryl tonight so I'm not scratching at it because it itches like heck.

DD and I got our first shots. Second in 3 weeks.

Another good to know, I can live with feeling a little blah and a sore arm.

Oops, need to read a little closer. Sore arms should be pretty easy ?

 

[Cooksie]

I may change my tune tomorrow. I didn't feel so hot this morning, but I just made myself get out of bed and go about my regular stuff. After I ate lunch, I started feeling okay. My arm is still sore, but I guess that's to be expected.

Hi all again.

Few weeks ago I finally got my the second vaccination.



The situation in Finland looks good at least right now as today here was found only 133 new infections in the whole country. Amounts of infections have decreased during the last weeks.

 

[Sass Muffin]

There he is!
Home!
Off the o2 finally and graduated from PT.
❤❤❤❤

I don't think anyone on here is stupid enough to do this, but obviously some people are.

Scam alert: Why posting your COVID vaccine card may lead to fraud

A fraud expert says sharing your COVID-19 vaccination card online and through social media could become a breeding ground for fraud.

fox8.com

Bad guys are stealing the information they contain from social media. And worse, experts say, there is no reliable place to report it.

“This card is worthless because it’s so easy to forge,” said Kresse, known as “Professor Fraud.”

Each vaccination card bears your name and date of birth. Kresse said that’s a great starting point for criminals trying to steal your identity.

Well DD #2, and I got our 2nd shots at 5:30pm. Now we wait to see if we have side effects.
No soreness at the shot site. The first shot my arm was sore within an hour.

 

[lilbopeep]

My arm is pretty sore now, and I feel achy. I also have a mild headache at the moment.

Peeps my son had that same reaction to his second jab.
Said he felt dull and very fatigued as well.
Today he's fine.

Americans could opt to wear masks during flu season, Fauci says

Widespread mask wearing in the US has been credited for a huge drop in seasonal flu deaths – just one child is reported to have died from the flu in the most recent flu season, compared to 195 in the autumn and winter of 2019-2020.

 

[lilbopeep]

I really feel lousy at the moment but no fever.

You'll be fine Peeps.

I really feel lousy at the moment but no fever.

Just judging from my experience, you'll feel better tomorrow but your arm will be more sore.

 

[lilbopeep]

I feel worse than yesterday.

 

[Ironman]

Hope you feel better soon peeps.

 

[lilbopeep]

Still have a headache, arm hurts, achy all over and tired. Still no fever. I have a reaction to the flu shot every year, so I guess this is par.

 

[SilverSage]

I feel worse than yesterday.

Peeps, I felt bad for about 36 hours. The second day was worse then the first. But it was all overby the next morning, with no lingering effects. Well worth it!

 

[medtran49]

I still have an intermittently itchy injection site with a scab, from the nighttime sleep scratching I presume, and it's been 3 plus weeks.

I am aware, noted that on my first post about my arm issues. I was just posting because of the time it's lasting.
