First Dose of Moderna

[tippetariuswrites]

My poor languishing journal. I keep meaning to post something new, and the next thing I know several weeks have flown by. (I also keep meaning to post a new chapter, but that's not from lack of trying; I've got a lot written, but it needs more reworking and editing.)

Last week I got my first Moderna shot. The shot itself was quick, but I had to sit in a waiting area for fifteen minutes to make sure I wasn't having a bad reaction. I had a sore shoulder for a couple of days, and I felt a tiny bit of proto-sicky stiffness when I went to bed the first night, but otherwise I was fine. The second dose is supposed to hit you harder, so I'll see how I fare next time.

My first shot of Moderna didn't feel like much. The second shot, I would recommend getting it in the morning, because I didn't start feeling the effects of it until that night. Thankfully, I could sleep through the worst of it and felt fine the next morning.

Congratulations on getting both doses! I'll be a lot more at ease once my second shot is a couple of weeks behind me.

Ah, I probably should've thought twice before scheduling a 3pm appointment for the second dose. It sounds like most people feel more from the second dose, even if it's just being sleepy and draggy. Hopefully I won't have to do much the next day.
