Pfizer 2 Hit Us Like an Earthquake (Wait, that WAS an Earthquake!)

[kevin_standlee]

Yesterday afternoon, Lisa and I headed for Reno/Sparks for our second Pfizer vaccine dose. I got away from work early (after only eight hours, rather than my more typical 9-10 hours), so we also took the many boxes of glass bottles we'd been accumulating so that we could dump them at the facility in Reno. We'd noticed on our last pass through there

I got my 2nd Moderna the day before you did. I felt the injection go in to what I'd call the void space in my arm, almost like the swelling (now returned to "normal") from the last injection left an open area that hadn't healed up, almost like someone squeezed a pimple but the cavity was left behind.

I started with pounding water and Pedialyte after the injection. All was well until about 10 hours after the shot, then a headache came on. After 2 hours of thump in my head I hit the Tylenol. Woke the next morning a little creaky and my arm felt like it was on fire. All was well for a few hours and almost exactly 26 hours post injection, the fever hit, hard. Shivered through it with an ice pack and sleep. Then took more tylenol and a cool shower and went to bed. ~45 hours later, basically fine except the arm is still annoyed enough I'd prefer no one touch it.

Spoke with a friend and she and I had a similar reaction, including prickly parts of skin zingers. In places that don't usually have an issue (old wounds etc). Almost like someone was zapping the skin. Didn't last long and was only during the fever. Have never had the zinger feeling with a fever before.

Glad the quake didn't do more than make you dizzy really! Saw the alert and wondered if you felt it considering your usual train traffic subdues the usual response to quakes.
