I’m so intrigued by the period anecdotes I’m reading here and elsewhere. I’m two weeks post J&J, and my period is now 2 days late. That’s not totally unusual for me, but it will be interesting to see what this cycle is like. It is definitely messing with cycles. There was a survey study posted on politics last month but I don't have the link now...basically it seems like there is a correlation somehow. For me, anecdotally, after my first shot, I was about 3 days early. Now, post second shot, I just got AF today 4 days early. Very annoying but at least I know there is a likely explanation.

I’m just here to plug getting your vaccine at your local Walmart. I got my first shot at CVS and it was a cluster. Today I got my second at Walmart and it was so much easier. No problem with my insurance. Less than ten minute wait.

Holy smokes I’m exhausted again this morning. It’s not quite as intense as the covid exhaustion but it’s real. I’m a little achy too but not too bad. 12 hrs post second Pfister

agm04 im sorry you went through that And can confirm, my friend had covid back in November and is still dealing with brain fog. It's let up a lot finally but she hates it I had major brain fog with covid and even kind of wonder if it has lingered in the months after because I feel like I can’t focus as much. Today the fog is back and I feel like molasses right now with the exhaustion.

So I don’t think it’s just vaccination related.

Adding to the period talk... mine post vax 1 was heavier and a few days later than expected, but mine post vax 2 was lighter than I was expecting (showed over a week past the shot)

One of my clients got his second shot a couple of days ago and said he had the knocked on his ass symptoms yesterday. He still feels hungover today. The variability is so weird.

H got his second Pfizer shot yesterday and had a bit of a headache yesterday evening, and this morning is a little achy in the shoulders/neck, but otherwise so far so good.
I'm glad we staggered our shots though, so there's at least one parent at full strength! My second shot is still two weeks out. Can't mess with my period, I don't have a uterus anymore! Ha. I'll be on the lookout for any evidence of hormonal fuckery, though.

This is interesting - I got my 2nd shot on April 7 and got my period this Tuesday, about 5 days early, and it has been super heavy which is not normal for me. I had never thought of a correlation.

I feel like I'm just waiting for things to hit, since my body usually is terrible 😂 but I know it'll be a while. I feel shitty, but I'm assuming that's because of the falling injuries. FX you are pleasantly surprised. I'm sorry, I feel like you are always dealing with health crap, you deserve a break!

I just got my second dose and I swear I did not feel it at all not even a little bit. I even pulled up the band aid and asked the woman monitoring the waiting area to reassure me I had gotten shot. So she thinks I'm a nut now.
I have work tomorrow and we're already short staffed so I am praying to all that is holy that I don't get any reaction or I get a delayed reaction!

Cold sweats have started 😂 And thank you! ❤️ My headaches have gotten better so some things are looking up. The LT is for the headache being better and obviously not the cold sweats 😩 Hoping for a relatively easy relaxing night.

I came home early to rest and had a low grade fever. I’m guessing since at least lunch. I made it to 3 at work before calling it. My exhaustion is lingering all day. I wish the symptoms would have waited 24 hrs. Womp womp.

I couldn't feel my second shot either... but then I had a high fever for two days and thought I was dying. My period finally stopped. 11 days of very light bleeding. Thanks Moderna.

Well I woke up with a very sore arm so at least I know it happened. Now I go to work til 6 so fingers crossed my good luck holds at least a few more hours. Sorry you felt so crummy!

I was so worried about not feeling well. I drank tons of water yesterday, did some bedtime yoga and went to sleep early. I woke up feeling better than I have in ages. Almost like water, exercise and sleep are good for you 🤣🤣🤣
I'm only 15 hours out so I know things could still turn but I made it to work so that's a good start.

My mom had her second Moderna yesterday. She said she feels kind of blah/tired today but ok otherwise.

I just had my second Moderna shot and am waiting my 15 minutes. I am at a Walmart an hour from home in a conservative area, and you can tell who the Trumpers are by their lack of any mask. And so many noses. Thank goodness for this being my second shot and my KN95.

H got the chills last night. This morning he said he felt a bit off, but fine to go in the office. I feel like a truck hit me, achy and nauseated, but it could be a lot worse. Hoping this is the worst of it. Hope you are on the upswing soon ❤️

I got knocked on my ass by my 2nf but was honestly prepared knowing f my AI history and how I was when I had the flu. I’m currently rly a bump on the couch under 2 blankets and a fleece sweatshirt shivering with body aches and a temp hovering between 101-102 she’s the Tylenol wears off. It was definitely an eye opener to H what Covid could do to me. But at this point in time I’d do it all over again.

I had my second Moderna shot yesterday, and I think I have clicked all the boxes for "typical" side effects: fever, chills, headache, nausea, muscle aches, joint pain, brain fog, exhaustion, arm pain. Tylenol has helped, but I might alternate with ibuprofen tonight. Tylenol typically doesn't do much for me.

I had my second dose of Pfizer a week ago. I had covid in December and reacted terribly to the first dose. Also reacted terribly to the second. This time I didn’t have any nausea but the chills were so bad. Also body aches, nerve pain, and muscle aches. In any case I’m glad that’s over with! Hoping maybe I will be one of the lucky people whose long term side effects goes away (my taste/smell never returned to normal).

Got my second Pfizer this morning! So far no energy burst like after the first one 🤣
It's been 3 hours and so far so good, I do have a slight headache but I also drank last night so it could just be from that ha
