Talk about having anxiety since I'm already afraid of needles and worry about feeling bad afterwards. But first is done.

I absolutely hate needles. But I got both moderna shots, with no reaction to either. According to niyad May 2021 #9

Don't let anyone make you feel bad about it. Just think of it as a "war wound" in the battle against Covid.

Hope that any after effects are minimal.

I hate needles too.

I've ripped a few needles out of myself in medical misadventures of past six decades. AMA.

Got both shots.

Second shot wasn't nothing.

The day after second shot wasn't fun, I mostly slept, too hot or too cold with a headache and familiar arthritis at level ten.

But I'm still here, and now much less worried this virus will kill me.

I actually felt my shoulder rise from it.

The second shot was even more of lifting.

Good for you! I know how tough it is for some of us to consider an injection.

The second might give a kick.

Gave me a little kick.

something I read here over the weekend, about 30 per cent experience no reaction. May you be in that group.

Hydrate well. Eat good food.

Another thing I learned here. Moving, swinging, stretching your arm immediately after the shot helps. I did stretches during the waiting period. The jabber said it was an excellent idea.
