Oct 2023

I don't know if it was a Pfizer/Moderna combo. I also got the flu shot, separate arms. Past shots were all Pfizer/Biontech. Most reactions were mid-level mild, except the follow up for #1, which was a quick 20 days later. I got a very early vaccine, late 2020, I don't think they had the time between them correct.

As for this week's Moderna. I got walloped. Not burning pain in legs, but substantial pain, like extreme exercise in the back of the calfs. ALso fatigue, light fever, sweating. I stayed warm, with heating pad, and took aspirin, naproxen, Ibuprofen intermittently.

Today I'm tired but am much better. Tomorrow the side effects will be gone.
