canyonwalkerEveryone knows to watch out for side effects from Covid-19 vaccine shots up to 24 hours later. After getting my booster shot Monday morning I had minimal, if any, side effects 12 hours later. I went to bed just feeling tired. This morning I woke up with soreness in my arm where I got the shots (plural because I got a flu shot, too) plus a bit of voerall body ache. I took a few acetaminophen with breakfast and felt fine. I had plenty of energy for teaching a 3 hour workshop class as part of my job this morning.
New symptoms came around late this afternoon at the 30 hour mark. I started feeling feverish— but without an elevated a temperature. I felt chills and started shaking. I laid down for a while hoping it would pass before dinner. It kind of did, kind of didn't. When I got up to make soup for dinner my teeth were chattering and my leg was shaking so hard I had to steady myself against the kitchen counter with my hands. I put on a second shirt and raised the heat to warm myself up. I took another few acetaminophen with dinner. All that helped... though an hour after dinner I was feeling overheated and pulled off the second shirt and turned the heat back down. (Alternating from chills to sweats is another fever symptom, which I figured would happen after the others.)
I'm feeling okay now as I'm winding down to go to bed for the night. I hope the side effects are really over and it's not just the acetaminophen talking.
Wednesday morning update: I tossed and turned overnight, feeling some chills and shakes. This morning my arm is still sore and I'm experiencing some sweats. These are way more effects than I had after my first or second shot.
