My experience getting vaccinated

Hi all,

Now as I've said before, I've been feeling pretty good lately, haven't had any Lyme symptoms for a year or two. I just thought I would relate my experience with the vaccine, for anyone who is interested.

So I decided to get vaccinated, just to avoid trouble in places where they require vaccines. I wasn't really afraid of catching COVID, because I'm almost positive I already had it. So I decided to get the Pfizer vaccine at my local pharmacy.

Within 30 seconds of getting my first dose, I got a horrible metallic taste in my mouth. It was so bad I started drooling. My arm was extremely sore and I just felt "funny". I'm glad someone else drove me, because I wouldn't have been able to drive back home!

The metallic taste lasted for a few days. When I got home I took some activated charcoal, and it helped a little.

The next 7-10 days, I just felt awful. Sore arm, very irritable, fatigue. I thought, "Oh no, this was a horrible idea." Then after about 2 weeks, I felt completely fine again, like someone turned a switch.

I was very apprehensive about getting the second vaccine, because all my friends were saying how the second one is worse, and describing how awful they felt, but I did decide to get it. So I got the second dose. No metallic taste, I felt completely fine, and went on my day as usual.

The day after I did definitely have a fever. I had some sharp pains in my feet and I was very thirsty, which is what seems to happen whenever I get a fever. I really didn't feel bad at all. Of course "bad" for me means feeling really irritable. I really don't mind having a fever and being achy, as long as it goes away, which it did. The next day I felt fine, and It's been a week and I still feel pretty good.

Except on a side note, I ate some weird food on the 4th of July and have been feeling nauseous ever since. I don't really know what happened.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I appreciate that. I'm sorry you had such a reaction to your first shot. In retrospect it sounds like you are glad you got it.

Like Girlie, I decided I need to get it. Too populated where I live and the new variant moved the needle for me. That said I keep postponing my appointment. I caught a bad cold/sinus infection that is only now clearing. I'm going to wait another week so my body doesn't mount an immune response to that.

I'm now nervous again since I react to everything. Knowing you made it through and it is behind you has really helped. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

I am going through the same thing (Moderna)....really strong metallic taste...almost couldn't walk this morning. Funny thing is, yesterday I felt quite good. I am in the middle of day 3 now and it's REALLY scary. I almost went to the emergency room this morning. I have also been putting this off for so long and now worry I have made a huge mistake. Your post makes me feel a bit better, so thanks for that. Others, I don't mean to put you off as I think it's becoming more and more necessary. Just be prepared. Every time I take my usual herbs, I have a massive herx (that tight band around your head). Think I'll have to stop treating for now. And there I was, just before the vax, thinking I was almost there.

My appt is a week away.

Pretty sure it’s Pfizer

I’m nervous that my Lyme symptoms will come back

Last time I checked the covid survival rate was 99.95% if you are under 65 years old. Something you don't hear on TV very often (if ever). These numbers are straight from the CDC:

Why people listen to the mass hysteria and cant wait to get an experimental vaccine is beyond me.

mRNA Inventor Robert Malone said the corona virus vaccines and spike proteins are dangerous and toxic. He has since been banned from LinkedIn for speaking up. Look up his direct quotes and not what the media says about him.

Lugi Warren (Moderna mRNA) was banned from Twitter for saying the spike protein is able to shed in tiny amounts and was forced to delete his Tweet just for saying that:

Think about that for a second, they are censoring the people who invented mRNA for speaking up. The censorship is out of control. What a world we live in. The spike protein was supposed to stay in the arm after vaccination, autopsy has since confirmed that the spike proteins were found in every organ of the body.

Look up women having several periods per month after vaccination, another wonderful side effect. Time to turn off the TV and look at the actual data. And maybe take people serious when they have side effects and not censor them.

Girlie,

Of course I will. I'll post that day and thereafter as side effects may not occur right away, and hopefully not at all.

Purple light, I take almost everyone seriously and I believe many have had side effects from the vaccine.

That said, everyone has to make their own personal decisions. I've read every side of this vaccine debate. I live in one of the most densely populated cities. My 50 year old brother-in-law with no underlying conditions almost died. He was amongst the first hospitalized for Covid and was in the hospital for over six months. No one thought he would make it. Is he alive, yes, but his life is so different. He had to learn to walk, talk, swallow, eat. He has no memory. His long haul physical and neurological symptoms are far worse than Lyme (and I've had pretty bad LD).

My family all had Covid and luckily didn't need hospitalization. My son's long haul symptoms set his lyme so far back. He was almost in remission before getting Covid. The virus is real and while he's young, his immunity just isn't strong yet due to LD, et al... The good news is he actually feels better post vaccine. I think it helped with his long haul symptoms.

If I lived in an isolated area perhaps I would wait it out. I love travel, seeing friends and family and I want to return to life.

JMF,

Thanks. I agree it has come a long way.

Where we live you can't work, travel or do much of anything without proof of vaccine. My husband attended a large fourth of July party and I couldn't attend because I wasn't vaccinated. I made him attend. Stuff like that. Is missing a party the end of the world? No, but I also missed a family reunion and numerous friend gatherings because of this. I don't wish to be the only masked person and I don't like explaining my health issues and why I'm not vaccinated. Again, a personal choice.

I agree. After years with very little international travel I want back in life!

Also challenging to have vaccinated spouse and kids who can do things. It puts added pressure on.

I wish you great vaccine results and lots of travel in your future!

And yes, I have had issues with coordination and walking before. The only new thing is the metallic taste.
