They just opened eligibility up to the 50+ in Ohio. My group, 40+, should be next. The wife, and RN, already had her two doses.

CDC site says to drink plenty fluids afterwards, and not to stop moving arm if it hurts ( try and use as you normally would ).
On a non-governmental site, I read many comments by folks who said applying one those ice (cooling ) gels to injection site helped with the pain.

Oh, that's great, Err; they only just recently opened to 60+ here in NYS.
How did your wife fare?

She had to take the next day off work after the second shot. It made her really tired. My mom way the same way after her second shot. However, after 24 hours, they were both fine.

Got a minor headache tonight -hope it's just a slight reaction do to me being a cluster headache suffer. not had any for a while so keeping finger crossed it a side affect or reaction from the shot and the the start of them again .it also might be the pollen or humidity here in my part of Florida right now.
wife got her 2nd shot today and said her arm was bugging her tonight. will see how she doing next couple day . she had the Moderna injection . her arm was sore for 3 to 5 days on her first shot .

I'm glad it wasn't worse, Err.

Oh, gosh,,, hope you and the missus feel better soon, reno.

My mom, who is 90, had absolutely nothing bother her after her first shot,,, not even her arm.
I was keeping a close eye on her and she showed no signs of her arm hurting and was using it normally. It's her upcoming 2nd shot that I'm concerned about, which the CDC say can carry a big punch in up to 50% of people.

well wife just woke up today and she feel like crap . the 2nd shot reaction from yesterday .will post more as the day go's on right now she still in bed.

She should be better within 48 hours. Everyone is different. My dentist told me that one patient they had reacted to the first dose, but nothing on the second dose.
For me, it was a slow process that started with a mild headache after 24 hours. I rarely get headaches so I knew my body was going to work on producing anti-bodies. Then the chills came along with some minor body pains. When I went to bed that night, I felt okay, not 100%, because I still had some chills. About 3 in the AM during sleep, I woke up felt very warm. When back to sleep. Woke up at 7:30am and felt great. All the symptoms I had the day before were gone.

Well, my first shot yesterday afternoon went without incident, as I reckoned it probably would.

How's the missus, Reno??
