the Covid Vaccine knocked me out!

There is very little to report from last weekend. Early Saturday morning, I went to get my 2nd Covid Vaccine (Pfizer). I had been warned by a few people that the second shot is much worse than the first. I am here to report they were not lying! Within a few hours, I kept getting the chills. A few hours later, I had a fever. The fever never got bad, but a few hours after the fever I was back to having the chills. I cranked up the heat and grabbed some heavy blankets and I still could not get warm.

Besides the body temperature all over the place, I felt okay. So I did some laundry and it wasn't until I tried to fold the second load of laundry that it really got to me. Bending over, pulling a couple of items out of the dryer, folding them and then putting them into the laundry basket was too much. I kept getting dizzy and my body started hurting. I laid down a few times before I would get up and fold some more laundry. It took me over an hour to fold one load. After that, I took some Tylenol, laid down on the couch, covered myself with a bunch of blankets and went back to sleep. I ended up sleeping most of Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening. Besides a few body aches, I fell really good now and I am glad to be done with the Covid vaccines.

Stay safe and healthy!

I hope you’re feeling better. Please call your doctor’s or nurse line at a local facility if you experience any more symptoms. Xo rest up xo
 
Even though I should have taken the day off yesterday, I did go to work. I had a light dinner and I went to bed early last night. I woke up feeling much better today.
 
It is funny, because I had been talking to a friend of mine who had gotten her 2nd vaccination the day before I got mine. She was having problems on Friday night and Saturday morning. I thought she was just being a drama queen, because I had Zero problems with my first shot. But they were right when they said the 2nd shot might be much worse. I'm just glad to have it behind me now.
 
Sorry your experience was so bad. Mine actually wasn’t too bad. I had some minor bodyaches and a bit of a headache the day after. But it was gone the following day and I was at work. But my husband had a worst time of it. Maybe not quite as bad as you described, but pretty close. I guess everybody’s different.
 
Yeah, my friend, she was having a really bad fever. She ended up going to the emergency room because she couldn't get her temperature to come down. But the next day, she was back to normal. It is weird how it is different for everybody.
 
@T_Lurch I feel sorry for your wife's sister. I know how horrible it can hit you. I got the Pfizer vaccine and I was warned by others that the second one is the worst. I thought maybe the J&J vaccine wouldn't be as bad since it was only 1 shot, but I guess even the 1 shot can cause problems.

I am feeling much better. But like I said before, I would go through it all again, just so I can be vaccinated against Covid.
