Vaccine

I got my 2nd dose of Pfizer on Saturday morning. It was itchy at first, like the first one, and then just like the first one, for a half-hour or so I was a bit "off" — not quite dizzy but definitely a bit woobly. 

I didn't start getting any noticeable symptoms until I went to bed — I started feeling like I do when I drink and then don't drink enough water before going to bed. Waking up constantly, a little confused and disoriented, hot and headachy. In the morning on Sunday I took Tylenol because my head was an actual helmet of pain, but that worked quickly and I was able to go about my normal activities.

Monday late morning I started feeling achey — but not in my muscles — in my bones and teeth, like when I was severely vitamin deficient. The hangover feeling returned, so I took more Tylenol. I was good the rest of the day. I kind of expected I'd have really mild symptoms, but you never know!

Steve has his 2nd dose on Friday, so we'll see how it affects him this weekend!

I definitely had the ambiguous "off" feeling after both doses of Pfizer and also expected to have minor side effects, which was not the case at all for the second dose. Glad you're doing better now and hopefully Steve has an easy time with his!
