My covid vaccine #2 lasted longer and hit harder than anyone told me it would be.
So, Saturday at 8:15am, I had no apprehension receiving the 2nd Moderna vaccine. I have used hypnosis to get past the needle issue that I have had a fear my entire life.
The first vaccine, I experienced no reaction. I celebrated with ice cream cake because I faced a needle fear! I was on top of the world.
Saturday,
I did not anticipate any reaction. I even agreed to dog-sit four gorgeous little doggies overnight.
By 7:00pm, in retrospect, I noticed things out of the ordinary and brushed them off. Then rapidly the reaction came: high fever, I was freezing, shivering so much my teeth were chattering, I was weak and could not stand, every muscle and joint hurt — the bottom of my feet hurt, my knees hurt, my spine and neck hurt, my fingers hurt, my hair hurt, my eyes hurt. For me, when I have a temp, I get whiny and teary. I was crying.
“Back up” arrived to take over the dog-sitting and to care for me. I cried because I was embarrassed and felt weak. (It was the fever.)
At one point, I remember thinking and thought I should stop thinking because it hurt to think.
I heard it would last 12 hours so through the pain and tears I knew I would wake up better.
Nope.
I still had a high temp, and all the pain.
I thought I should just sleep and when I wake up I will be better.
Nope.
My family and friends suggested I take ibuprofen. I refused because I heard it would work against the vaccine.
My teeth and gums hurt. The pain, the fever, the...you name it.
I was reminded my teeth were chattering and that probably why my teeth snd gums hurt.
I don’t remember Sunday too much
Sunday night, I took ibuprofen pm to sleep.
Monday, I woke up with a lower temp, still in pain but nothing as bad, and feeling “better” — which wasn’t great but I took it as progress in the right direction. I was still weepy and whiny.
By the afternoon, my temp went up as the tears were streaming. (It just happens.)
I kept thinking “when I wake up, I will be better.”
I took an ibuprofen during the day. That helped. I took an ibuprofen pm to sleep.
Tuesday, I woke up around 10:30am-ish with a slight a temp and weak. I thought, “that’s it. I’m taking my last resort medicine.” I took one extra strength excederine.
I went outside and took deep breaths.
I walked on my street.
I’m shaky and need to take it easy.

LOL WHAT?!?? Refused to take ibuprofen because it would counter act the “vaccine” HAHAHAHAHA OMG
She got confused, they have claimed you shouldnt take it PRIOR to receiving vax altho IDK what science is on that
Absolutely never give children Tylenol after their vaccines.
But I don’t know about adults and ibuprofen.
I’ve seen this, heard of aspirin before hand, but nothing else.
Feb 22 2021: AstraZeneca, asprin a day ahead and two days after to help with fever, stagger vaccines or staffing issues.
“France considers slowing vaccine rollout for hospital staff, with many unable to work following jab” https://archive.vn/LNGWp In the university hospital of Brest in Brittany, during the first week of the vaccine rollout, 20 to 25 percent of the recipients of the vaccine had to stop work because of influenza symptoms including bad headaches, high fever and sore muscles In one hospital, half of the physiotherapists were on sick leave at the same time after having received the vaccine.
