      Interesting to see the breakdowns and risk factors. Originally I was aware that my blood type makes me less susceptible. Then we hear white males have different risk factors, etc... it would almost take a daily scoreboard to keep track of the increases and decreases of risk.

      Data and it's access are breaking these things down pretty crazy. I enjoy it but wonder how accurate these things are.

    I just read an article that confirms what Mani told us about avoiding the anti inflammatories.

      We had no symptoms at all with #1. More common with #2. The latter can have an allergic component and a dose of Benadryl may be helpful in addition to Tylenol.

      BTW, Tylenol is not a totally innocuous drug.

      Good to know, Mani. I'm on Levothyroxine. But too young for the vaccine right now.

      Susan, I think you'd rather bask under the rays of that neon moon light.... too young.

    I had a appointment for my first shot tomorrow.
    Things got screwed up today after my yearly check up.
    I thanked to my Dr about getting my Covid vaccine tomorrow so he was aware I would get one soon.
    After my appointment he had me go across the hall for a couple other vaccines.
    I was on the way home when I remembered hearing you should not get any other vaccines before the Covid vaccine.
    I went back and talked to the nurse and she said I had to cancel for tomorrow.
    The nurse is going to call the person in charge of the Covid vaccines and get me rescheduled.

    Surprised my Dr did not think about the problem with the Vaccines and surprised the person who gave me shots today did not ask if I would receive a Covid vaccine in the next couple weeks.

      Doug the info is handled the same way here.
      When I registered and when I got the call with my appointment I was not given any info on things to avoid.

      Thanks for the update. In hindsight I now believe I had achy lower back and a general feeling of fatigue for about three days. Since my arm really did not hurt that much I forgot about the shot and thought I was sore from working in the backyard. I get my second tomorrow and I'm anticipating similar or worse. Pfizer.

    To all who are getting the second shot:
    it is normal to have myalgia or some low grade fever. It means your immune response is good. Be encouraged by it.

      Did you get the second shingles vaccine, that's the one that hurt me most?

      People have different pain thresholds but this is different.
      I had shoulder surgery and never took a single oxy, but my
      friend got the refill because he was in a lot of pain (he said).

    It worked out for the good.
    Several weeks ago a friends' wife called us and she seemed stressed about being able to get on the list for a shot.
    My friend is 85 and she's 80.
    I avoided the first round or two so people like them could get the shot first.
    It's a small county and only 200 shots are available per week. Sounds like that number is going up.
    For some reason my name was picked before them.
    The same hour I canceled and the same lady I talked to called them and both can show up tomorrow for a shot.
    I should be able to get a free beer from my friend for this

    I asked my Doctor today when he thought Debbie would be able to get a vaccine.
    He heard late March or early April for the under 65 group.

      Started signing up 70+ here. I should be in the next round
      but teachers are getting upset that they have to wait.
      Hope by the end of March I have both of mine.

    Have nothing against teachers, but this catering to special interest groups is not helping. There are thousands of drug reps, for instance, poppin in out out of Dr.s offices all day every day who seem to not be a priority. All day every day.

      Our governor is sticking to the science and wanting to keep the most
      at risk out of the hospitals. Most schools here are open.

      Wes, I'm special, but I think that it's a different kind of special than what you are talking about.

    Second Shot at 2pm on Tuesday. No particular issues after shot but no sleep that night. Wednesday not great, aches all over, lethargic, no appetite. Long nap on Wednesday then good nights sleep. Thursday...back to my normal, charming self!

    the second shot is close to the results of the shingles shot!

      How could you tell anything was different. A lot of those symptoms sound normal. Naps in the afternoon, giving people headaches, not so great...

      You know I love you!!!

      I reacted last night to the two vaccines I had on Wednesday, probably the Shingles vaccine.
      I started to notice something when I was exercising in the afternoon. It was more difficult than normal.
      Last night I was freezing and had a fever. Debbie gave me a Tylenol and my temp dropped to 99 and I was able to sleep after that.

        Vaccines other than Covid I assume as you aren't suppose to have any other vaccines within 14 days prior to the Covid shot. Your symptoms are pretty typical of the shingles shot and you can expect the same when you get the second.

      #57
      OK . . . I got the first Trump Vaccine yesterday. (Moderna) I'm glad he cut the red-tape and got these vaccines out into circulation so that "normal" may return much sooner than most "experts" predicted.

      I just hope the testing was sufficient for long-term side effects . . . I don't want my willy to fall off in two years. All the experts will re-emerge and say "Oh, that's OK . . it was expected."

      Compare notes with Mike at THCR. He doesn't trust the government and will not get the vaccine.
      He's getting something from the vet and mentioned his dick is getting bigger

      Got my second shot the other day and had about the same result as Loggie. No issues first day, second day lethargic, a little achy and a mild headache off and on. Still worked all day. Fine after that.

        Hey, sorry, missed this WB. The next day I had a bit of a headache and took a Tylenol rather than my usual naproxen sodium.

      #60
      Wes, the first shot (Moderna) was yesterday at noon. Some soreness in the evening. A good sized knot at the injection site today. Rode 25 hard gravel miles on the Bianchi today. No issues. I have worse aches and pains from working out than this caused. Wife had 2nd shot Thursday and was just tired last night. But she's a teacher and can't really say that this is "new tired" or "old tired." That's the kind of reaction I want on my 2nd one. Sounds like some folks have it tougher.

        I had very little arm soreness with my first shot. The Shingles and Pneumonia vaccines hurt more.

        Lee I can testify with you as to the pneumonia shot. That baby was pretty sore. I haven't had the shingles shot, but Cathy has. She agrees with you, too. (And she's notably pain tolerant.)
