I feel like I've been in a brick fight and didn't have any bricks. Got my flu shot and bivalent

[Floyd R. Turbo]

booster yesterday. Everything hurts; muscles, joints, head. Hurts where I didn’t know I had stuff to hurt.😩

[catbyte]

1. Same here. I had the booster and a flu shot so my immune system was hit with a

double whammy of vaccines coursing through it. I felt like crap the day after, but by Day 3 I was feeling better and by Day 4 I was almost back to normal. Just take it easy today!

14. My wife felt bad for a day. I just have a shot itch area that - persists.

[Sedona]

2. Sounds like my second covid booster

I swear to dog....even my tits hurt!

[Wicked Blue]

3. Sorry to hear that

I hope you feel better soon. My daughter got the new C shot last week and said she felt like hell for a few days.

4. I got my flu shot and Pfizer booster yesterday at 4pm. I got them both in my left arm figuring

t least I could sleep on one side. I can feel a slight soreness on my left arm with touch other than that
I feel fine. It is a nice sunny 48 degrees we are going bike riding at 9am for probably 20 to 30 miles.

[unweird]

5. Not recommended

Day after bike ride. But good luck.

[doc03]

6. The way the weather is going we may not get many more chances to ride this fall nt

[unweird]

7. I hear ya

Wish I could get out there too but still got the day job keeping the wolves at bay. Ride safe and enjoy the day!

19. I ran 11 miles after I got my shot

it was fine - in fact, I think it got it into my system faster.

However, that was seven months ago and I have Covid now (picked it up the week before I had my bi-valent scheduled, wouldn't you know it!).

8. Ok, so everything hurts. But, you are now INVINCIBLE!!!11! nt

[claudette]

9. Got my 2nd booster

last Sunday with no side effects at all - but said "NO" to the flu shot that day! I will get my flu shot in November, since I read that the flu season up here in NY starts later than lower latitudes.

[MissB]

10. Same same same

Except my head doesn’t hurt. Everything aches. I had my shots in the early morning and by mid afternoon I felt incredibly achy.

Last night my hip joints were achy, which was a first. Ugh.

[dembotoz]

11. neither shot is hard to get.

don't need a doctors appointment...local drug store is generally ready willing and able....

so unless you live out in the boonies...put some time between them.
I get mine generally at the local costco.

Like I need an excuse make another trip to my favorite place on earth...costco

[empedocles]

13. Can't help but spend $100's there when I go.

[dembotoz]

15. well yeah there is that

[GenThePerservering]

20. Those hot dogs

now that's a reason to get my jab at Costco!

[bamagal62]

12. I got both as well.

Knocked me out for 2 days.

[rurallib]

16. got both Monday and never felt a thing

even had a strenuous workout that afternoon.

[wnylib]

17. The covalent shot hit me harder than

the original shot and all other boosters.

For the other shots, my symptoms were mild, just a little achiness (except the arm, which REALLY hurt), and a general blah feeling for a day.

With the covalent booster, the arm hurt a little less, but 12 hours later, I had nausea, a headache, all over soreness, 1 degree increase in temperature, and fatigue. Just wanted to sleep a lot.

Cleared up a day later except the arm soreness which took 3 days.

No flu shot due to allergy. I even tried the "hypoallergenic" flu shot one year but reacted to that, too, so no flu shots any more. I still wear masks in public, so that is my flu protection.

[Luciferous]

18. I got my flu shot Monday, getting the

Covid booster tomorrow so if I have any side effects I'll have the weekend to recuperate.

[kairos12]

21. Sorry to hear this.

I got mine yesterday. No issues so far.

[Grasswire2]

22. I came just now to complain about yesterday's flu shot.

OMG. It is kicking my butt overnight and today. I feel terrible, and my shoulder hurts so bad I can't put a shirt on and had trouble sleeping.

Never had any trouble before, with same shot. Didn't have trouble with bivalent booster, either, a few weeks ago.

Altho I do have residual VERY dry mouth from the booster. Like a desert. Ha.

[Grasswire2]

23. Next year I am going to ask for the less strong flu shot.

Don't think I need this one and the kick from it.

[trof]

24. My PCP said not to get them at the same time.

She said you won't know which one you reacted to.
She recommended two weeks apart.
