I got my second Pfizer yesterday. So far, my reaction to #2 is better than #1. A consistent headache and some digestive issues. I napped 2 hours yesterday and slept 11 last night. I walked last evening and this morning. I didn’t push myself but just an easy walk to enjoy sunshine and fresh air.

I got my first Pfizer on Wednesday. I was tired that day and took a nap. The next morning I felt rested and good, but I did gentle yoga because that's what I had planned (in case I felt bad) and because it seemed like a pleasant thing to do that day. My arm was sore, but not to an extreme - about like a tetanus shot.

I thought I had gotten away unscathed, but then I went to bed. I guess that arm was sore. I couldn't sleep on it all night. And I woke up at 4:00 with a headache that wore me down the next day.

First Moderna this past Saturday. My arm is too sore to sleep on, and yesterday I could not lift it more than about a 20-degree angle in any direction without pain. It's better today, more like a faint bruised feeling. I can work out today but won't be slinging around any weights. Yesterday would not have been comfortable at all; even walking would have been hard because I couldn't swing my arm naturally.

I had my second dose of Pfizer on Saturday evening. I was fine when I went to bed but woke up at 3 AM with a fever of 101.5, aches, a headache, an upset stomach, and extreme fatigue. I spent all day yesterday in bed. Today I don't have a fever or any of the other symptoms, but I am still tired. I had to miss water aerobics for the first time in months. I haven't been this sick since I had the flu many years ago. It was much worse than I expected, especially since I know a number of people who have had no side effects at all.

5 days later, and i feel pretty good. i wonder if the vaccine killed other bad things in my body too because i feel so energized and almost pain-free.
i read an article last week about a woman who was a covid survivor and recently got 2 of the recommended vaccine shots. she said her lingering symptoms from covid seemed to have disappeared - coughing, fatigue, etc. a doctor who was also interviewed said it's unclear whether it was the placebo effect or if the vaccine is a cure for the symptoms. further review is needed before that can be claimed.

I had my second Covid vaccination (Pfizer) on Saturday. Other than the sore arm for the rest of Saturday, all good. Sunday I was tired but did my workout without any problems first thing in the morning. By early Sunday afternoon, I had some chills and fatigue. One thing I did was drink a ton of fluids, including Lemonade Vitamin Water Zero, took Tylenol, and generally took it easy.
This morning I felt completely normal. So, for me, I haven't missed a beat on my workouts. It will be interesting because my husband gets his second shot on Thursday (Moderna) so we'll see if he has a different reaction. All in all, I'm so happy to be fully vaccinated!!! I can now see the light at the end of this very, very dark tunnel. I only wish my cousin survived Covid long enough to get vaccinated. She did everything right but the maintenance people in her building did not - came to work knowing they had Covid and refused to wear masks.
