All day yesterday, the day after two-shot day, I played the game, Result or Coincidence?
- Left arm/shoulder very sore, with swollen lymph nodes under the arm? Result of the vaccine.
- Mild headache? Probably coincidence.
- Exhausted by the exertion of showering? Result.
- Right forearm a little tender? Probably coincidence.
- As of today, swollen lymph nodes at the left side of the neck, near the collarbone? Definitely result. And also apparently nothing to worry about. Fun* word: lymphadenopathy.
Such a fun* game! Yeah, yesterday was pretty much a write-off. Sitting up for an hour at my desk, watching a livestream and knitting, left me huddled limply on the couch, not doing anything. Later, I gathered enough energy to read! Woo!
*Sarcasm alert: not fun
It's still better than getting covid.
I was pleased that I was able to sleep close to normally despite the arm thing. I turn over all night long, sleeping first on one side then the other, so I was nervous about that. But aside from some ouching, and pulling a second pillow close to rest my left arm on when lying on my right side, it was pretty much business as usual.
But yeah. Tired and achy and cranky. Not as bad as yesterday. Hopefully will be better tomorrow. More better. Betterer.
Glad you're starting to feel better!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have been debating timing of when to get a booster and this makes me think that getting it on a Friday is the best idea!
ReplyDeleteTo NGS above: definitely. I usually sleep seven and a half hours and I did ten after getting just the omicron shot last Thursday, and Friday required a nap. But Thursday was when we could snag those shots so we did.
ReplyDeleteMeantime, I hope today's much better!
