Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 3868892, member: 366"] I'm glad to hear that my friends here are making progress. If I liked your post, I wasn't liking the fact that you got sick from the vaccine (that was a little awkward). I was liking the fact that you got it and were now ok--and protected. I pre-registered on the Alexandria Health Dept. website in mid-January as part of the 65-75 group. About 4 weeks later, I was contacted and allowed to schedule at a local clinic. I got the first dose of Pfizer on Tuesday, February 23. The reaction may be in the "TMI" category, so I apologize in advance. My upper arm was slightly but noticeably sore for about 24 hours. It wasn't painful at all, but a little more sore than I get from the regular flu or pneumonia shot. But no big deal at all. I was feeling good throughout the day, as if I had accomplished something positive. About 11 hours after getting the shot, that changed. I started to feel a little nauseous at about 11:30 PM. Within 30 minutes, my digestive system was empty following a thorough involuntary cleansing. For anyone who has done a colonoscopy prep, it was similar to that, but at both ends. I went online to check out the possible reactions. Some sites listed nausea as a possibility. Harvard listed nausea and vomiting. Yale listed nausea, diarrhea, OR vomiting. Yale nailed it for me, replacing OR with AND. I hope the reaction to the 2nd Pfizer shot, which is stronger for many people than the 1st, isn't any worse. I have the 2nd dose scheduled for St. Patrick's Day. I won't be doing any drinking that day, but I still may be worshipping the porcelain convenience. :confused: Here's the good news: my son and his family are now living in Houston, and my granddaughter has a birthday in early April. I'm considering a road trip (by car or plane) to Texas. Rumor has it that there are some basketball games of interest in Texas in March/April. Hmmmmm. :) Stay safe, everyone! [/QUOTE]
