I did yesterday. And woke up this morning feeling like I had been trampled by a stampeding herd of elephants. Everything hurt, insatiable thirst, chills, super tired. Spent the morning thanking God that I was still alive, and it wasn't getting worse. Finally came around at about noon, 24 hours after the shot.

First 2 shots I drank 50 ounces of water morning of my shots Heartlander. Only side effect I had was sore arm where shot was given.

@PTCdresser57 Thanks. No issues the 1st 2 shots. And no issue with the booster until this morning. A feeling of being totally exhausted. Thankfully no respiratory problems. I didn't take my temperature but went from chills to hot flashes. Felt sort of like a hives attack.

My wife had that happen with first shot Heartlander. She works for 31 doctors and they told her it was ok...it is the body's immune system firing up.

@Heartlander I had hot flashes almost the moment I received the shot. I had a doctors appointment the same day and felt like I could barely walk back up the hill from my car when I was done...couldn't believe the muscle aches and swollen painful joints, and then I crashed in the late afternoon and slept for 6 hours.

@Heartlander late menopause? 😂

@newjaninev2 @4meAndyou @PTCdresser57

Thanks, I'm back to near normal this morning after sleeping 13 hours for the past 2 nights and taking a few naps. Just a sore arm to still remind me.

I still haven't heard the details about a neighbor (4 doors down) who died a few days after her booster shot. She was early 70s and otherwise pretty healthy looking to me. Some of those immune system attacks can be pretty severe and even lethal. Per a quick CDC check, there's been 10,000+ in the US who have died as a result of a server negative reaction to the vaccinations.

Percentage wise there's still a far greater risk of dying from COVID19, so worth the risk.

Doesn't menopause also mess with one's immune system? Also isn't Type-1 diabetes caused by an immune system destroying insulin producing cells in the pancreas? I read somewhere that any vaccination can trigger an undesirable reaction by the immune system. There's always a risk. It's about which risk is the greatest.

@Heartlander I am glad to hear you are better. I can't speak to the menopause/diabetic reaction. I have no idea. However I DO have a lot of allergies...so my immune system works overtime all the time.

@Heartlander I hope you’re feeling better this morning 👍

There are many diseases that are caused by the immune systems. Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis spring to mind, and, as you say, Type-1 diabetes.

An elderly person with rheumatoid arthritis will typically be taking methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to suppress the immune systems, as a way of slowing disease progress. When such a person walks past some muppet who is unvaccinated, the resultant covid infection is [i]highly[/i] likely to be fatal.

Still, the one showing reckless disregard for others will still be able to celebrate freeeeeedum!

@newjaninev2 Source?
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@MrBrownstone for what?
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@newjaninev2 Figures
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@MrBrownstone You asked me for the source of something you cannot now identify?

Or are you asking me for the source of some figures? If so, what are those figures?
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@newjaninev2 You should know your source
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@MrBrownstone You have no referent, so your requests for sources are meaningless

But then, you already know that

So, how are you getting on with that study from The Lancet?

Shall I summarise it for you?

Would that help?

@newjaninev2 What part of not legit source did you not understand?

@PTCdresser57 I think it is a great idea to drink a lot of liquids too. That's what I did, and I ate an egg breakfast before and a banana right after. I had no side effects at all. Maybe that's the reason. It just made some sense to have lots of good nutrition in my blood stream to lessen the shock of the vaccine

@MrBrownstone [quote]What part of not legit source did you not understand?[/quote]

The part where a weekly peer-reviewed medical journal, among the world's oldest and best-known, ranked with The New England Journal of Medicine, and which is accompanied by 12 complementary specialist journals, is not a ‘legit’ source.
