Second Vax Report

got it Tues March 30, Thurs April 1 (fools day) I woke up aching all over. I ate breakfast took 4 200mg ibuprofen and went back to bed. Took a 3 plus hour nap and woke up fine, have been fine ever since. I'm so grateful, I've read it could have been a lot worse.

Good Luck to all of you out there Peace Love and Joy too!

It was Pfizer.

He said acetaminophen is fine but not ibuprofen. I’m glad it worked for you! They didn’t tell me why not and I was too busy to ask. I’d love to know.

Ibuprofen is anti inflammatory and Tylenol is not, and that you want the inflammation because it helps the vaccine work. They told me don’t take anything at all,for 12 hours after not even Tylenol.

Head felt a little buzzy driving home from my late afternoon appointment. Arm was a bit sore during the night and yesterday morning. Overall achiness yesterday and this morning, relieved by my favorite anti-inflammatory, strong coffee. Counting days, hours and minutes until my liberation on the 19th!

I had the same reaction as you. So, I looked it up and found...

Coffee contains inflammation-fighting antioxidants, the same compounds that make fruits and vegetables so good for you.

Here's a link to the whole article. https://www.thehealthy.com/nutrition/does-coffee-cause-inflammation/
It's not wholly conclusive but they think it's polyphenols. I wonder if that makes maple syrup anti-inflammatory, because the primary flavor component in maple is a polyphenol.

it completely explains why all of my morning stiffness melts away after my daily allotment. And it makes me feel happy.
