UUUGGGGGHHH

I hate it.

Admittedly, I took 4 Tylenols (which you should never do so please think of your health and don't do it) over the course of today till now.

I still feel something, especially where the shot was, and my head feels a bit light-headed and strange.

Don't get me wrong: I'm glad I took it and I'm actually a bit proud that this may be my seventh shot so far (probably sixth, though).

But the first day? Yeah, not so good.

I had what I thought was a really good idea, telling the nurse I had received no previous vaccines so I would get full initial dose of Moderna again. I even called it Merdonna so they wouldn't question why I was having my first vaccine does years into the pandemic.

I slept for 24 hours straight

Id rather not get covid again if i can avoid it. I get the flu shot, no reason not to get a covid booster as well. I feel shitty all the time another day cant be too bad lol

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, to be fair, it gets better as you take it; each time is progressively better than the last.

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

really we should get three boosters a year, or quarterly if you have vulnerabilities considering the efficacy dropoff and the centers for disease circulation lowballing it on six months.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

You suggest that I get one three times a year?

I'll probably do it, if need be.

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

probably worth double checking my memory, and if the vaccines aren't keeping up with new variants that fast then it matters less, but iirc they say the effectiveness lasts about 4 months and that means the cdc's 6 month recommendation hangs you out for two months between vaccines.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Good point! Thanks for notifying me!

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 6 months ago

This is correct.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

These still make me SO fuckin sick. I have to build my schedule around them.

I still do them because it's just too important not to. But yeah it sucks.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I want to reduce the risks of getting Long Covid.

as someone who got the Astra zeneca vaccine back in 2021, and had a few days that were as bad as i've ever felt, I'm sorry to hear you're going through it: trip report: 2/10, would not take again

Tylenol should be safe to take at recommended doses for most people, paracetamol generally recommends no more than 1000mg every 4hrs

high doses can hurt your liver, but you'd have to eat a couple of hundred to die (I did the math once while I was really sad)

i'm a drug user, not a doctor, ymmv

[-] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

I was literally just having this conversation on another thread. Just because a bunch of Tylenol won't kill you doesn't mean it won't destroy your liver (which can then kill you slowly)

How have you had seven? I've had five, and I feel like I've been really on top of it.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago

Like I said, it may be 6 or 7.

Also:

...Uhh... idk?

I was just dead-set on not getting Long Covid.

Has your 5g signal improved yet?
