My second Moderna shot drop kicked me across the room...

No symptoms shot #1, maybe a sore arm for 48hrs, that's it.

Shot #2, noticed the arm hurt MUCH MORE within an hour of getting the shot. Hard to sleep on it that night. Slept very poorly, felt tightness in my shoulder into my chest. Had a cough... by mid morning a 101 fever... joint pain and my skin felt like I had a sunburn.

Took 2 Advil at noon, slept til 4, woke up nearly symptom free... arm pain was gone within 24 more hours. But for 8-12 hours I felt like I had the flu.
