Day after 2nd shot during February ice storm. i had been standing over a portable gas heater & felt warm, so i took an ibuprofin & realized the gas heater was warm too. my arm ached a while after both1st & 2nd shot. They said to exercise the arm... that was why it ached, i do not like exercise.

I am part of the TexasCares U.T.study and my antibodies were off the chart protecting me over 2,500 per ml in Sept, 8 moths after the 2nd dose, but i got a booster in October anyway because after EACH of the 1st 2 shots i had more energy like A VITAMIN B-12 , cleaned the house the car mowed the grass, even took a bath once, I got up from the lazyboy to fetch the remote control etc. ...Now, over a month after 3rd Shot Oct booster, i just got results back on second antibody test and i'm still "off the chart protected" over 2,500 antibodies per ml (that's as high as it measures) So, I'm glad I did it & can still pick my nose without washing my hands, that sanitizer hurt when i rubbed my eyes

Since i actually felt better more energy etc after vaccines, I also later got a shingles Shingrex shot last year which hurt way more than the Moderna.
Thanks for sharing your encouraging antibody numbers :tiphat:

LOL on the sanitizer!

My first Shingrix was a non-event, other than a quite painful injection. Very little arm soreness, although I did hit the gym later that day. Due for the 2nd next week.

we waited until nov of this year to get ours, actually unscheduled travel to florida numerous times drove the decision as we were in contact with LOTS more people.

we did fine on shot #1 nov 8 lot # 039F21A, shot #2 Dec 6 lot # 032H21A we both got sick within 2 days and experienced severe breathing issues and slept upright for a several days, fever, coughing. throat closed up like we were breathing through a straw
i coughed so bad from drowning in my half sleep, that i vomited and then fought for air, what seemed like minutes, but it was only a 10 or so seconds.
we got our shots at Walgreens
we will not get the booster.

reported it to cdc :biggrinjester:

both our doctors stated we should not have got so sick
Moderna or Pfizer ?

Sounds like maybe you both got COVID at the same time as your shot #2. It would be unusual for both of you to have an allergic reaction to shot 2 when neither had an allergic reaction to shot 1.

My shot 2 (Moderna) was 12 hours of sore arm, then 12 hours of alternating chills and sweats, then 12 hours of feeling crummy (sore all over, headache, tired). Shot 3 (also Moderna) was only a slight headache for 36 hours. Solved with Tylenol. Hardly any sore arm on shot 3.
