Thanks for continuing the updates.

Did she get the second jab on the same location, and on her same arm as the first jab ?

What did they say when she told them that her arm had some lingering soreness from the first jab ?

She did get it in the same arm, same general area. They wanted to do it in other arm, but she didn't want both arms to be sore. So, she elected to have them do it in the same one as before.

The lingering soreness was a normal side effect actually. It's akin to a tetanus shot (I've had those myself) that last a few weeks of soreness.

Fess up, is she growing horns yet, any new limbs, do her eyes glow at night. Has she spontaneously aborted three legged frogs?

Obviously I’m joking, but seriously glad to hear all is going well.

I have heard that those with a lot of Botox might not fare so well.

UPDATE:

01/26/2020 (morning):
- Temp is slightly up, 98.2 not much higher than last night.
- Moderate pain at the injection site this morning, applied ice pack to relieve pain and any swelling.
- She is beginning to experience joint aches and overall uneasiness in her body.
- She is still in good spirits after a relatively quiet night's sleep.
- Still making sure she stays hydrated and gets rest.

Good thread and info to hear.

I know a lot of hospital staff in the UK and have carers due to severe epillepsy - word from them is that Moderna, Astrazenica and Pfizer vaccines have been fine with main symptoms (if any) being mild temperature, sore/heavy arm for a day or so and feeling a little bit tired and achey for 32 hours.

The Oxford vaccine, which is the one I would have chosen personally, on the other hand has been knocking people out for a couple of days and frontline workers are actively asking for the alternatives to that one. It's still preferential to the description of Covid (complete loss of control of the body for a couple of weeks) in the area but had noticibly worse effects then other covid vaccines.

I am glad she is doing good, just make sure not to stop this thread and keep posting once in a while for a few months. It will be very much appreciated.

I am waiting for the JJ vaccine and it will be available soon, uses not GMO but real virus DNA, I want to see how it does in a long term too, is only one shot not two.

Thank you for doing this!

I'm skipping the shot but another family member will probably be harassed into it so I'll need all the information I can get.
Not to prevent them from getting it, but I'll be called in as support.

Wow, sorry ATS, I thought I posted my covid-19 test results. It came back negative the first week of January.

Should we assume that no news, is good news ?

Yes, that is an accurate statement. So far so good. I figure I would update once/month going forward if nothing arises.

No sense in over posting just to say "still alive".
