Covid vaccine

[boogs]

Day 4 everything is almost good except for an ongoing insane sore throat. Idk if its the whole lymphatic system or whatever but the more I focus on the feeling it seems like everything in my throat and what connects to ears and nose is just swollen and extremely sensitive. Can't even swallow my own saliva without excruciating pain and nearly die every time I cough and hack up a mouthful of flem.  Like at what point can covid lead to some other issue that might actually be worth a trip to the doctor? Like it feels like an ear infection could be right around the corner and I think there are meds to help with that sort of thing so its really annoying having no idea what do I just sit and suffer through vs trying to go out and see if a doctor could help any of this

could just be the regular ass flu

That sounds like strep throat. I had that numerous times in hike school.  REALLY sucks. If you have insurance, I'd get checked out if possible so you can get the proper treatment. I liked to punish my body for feeling like trash so I'd drink hot and spicy broths and soups in protest.

Overnight it finally reduced in severity by probably 80% so now I'm just finally dealing with a reasonable sore throat. I was definitely worried for a minute though it was worse. I'll hold another day and hope to see further recovery tomorrow but otherwise I'd say I'm just about fully recovered from covid

I took my second booster the other week. Limited to almost no symptoms. I was skating the following day. Interesting huh

Me too but i got it yesterday and I’m not skating today probably, but almost no symptoms. I almost died after my first shot ever and get scared every time now.

[Jewel Runner]

Fuck it

I only took the first shot of J&J and I'm not taking anything more

If it was today I wouldn't even take the first shot to begin with

Very cool, thanks for sharing your opinion.

Took my first booster a year ago but refusing to take my 2nd booster. COVID is settling down so I’m not worried. Even till this day, I got accustomed to wearing my mask still, except when I skate.

Why not get it? I look at it the same way I look at getting a flu shot. Cheap insurance…

exactly this .. there’s thing that exists to stop you from getting sicker and you’re like no ill pass .. ok have fun

im so sick of all these people that act politically woke but then when it comes to the covid vaccine they take a step back cuz they’re fake fucks .. this pandemic has proved to me that the majority of humans are selfish

also nurses are not doctors and im learning that many of them can fuck off

Got the latest booster and flu shot back in late December, at the same time. Aside from mild sore feeling in vaccination area, zero issues. One on each arm. So far, haven't caught Covid. Still wearing a mask around large groups of people or when in a room in close proximity with others while at work or certain social gatherings. I work in the health field with individuals with intellectual disabilities. My community and the population I work with got slammed covid. I ain't playing around with their health or my health. Hope you're all staying safe.

Boosted back in December & got the flu shot the same day. Still wear a mask as I’m regularly in & out of schools. I also work directly with people everyday.

I did the same thing in January. I always get a gnarly vaccine hangover the next day from the covid shot but by day 2 I'm fine. I got covid once back in august and that shit sucked, I can't imagine how fucked I would've felt if I wasn't boosted up.

[BartHarleyJarvis]

I had a nasty cold this week, tested multiple times but no Covid. Even swabbed my throat and my nose. So far, still haven’t caught the rona (knock on wood). Got my second booster in November, figure it’ll just be an annual thing now like my flu shot.

I have had three shots of the BioNTech/Pfizer. I am not getting anymore for awhile. All of them sucked and I couldn’t skate for five days after. Taking those shots is pretty bad for you I feel. I trust the science and believe that overall they improve my chances for a milder case of Covid, but damn they suck.

I might take another one, whenever they release an improved version with less side effects and better efficiency.

Bumping ...just got vaccinated after 2yrs since I got last booster...and goddamn I still have the same reaction to it that puts me down for the count.

yeah, man, I haven't been vaccinated in a long time. I think I got the 3rd shot and that was it. They all kicked my ass, but not as bad as full on Covid. To this day, I've never tested positive but due to my partner testing positive 3x and us both being sick with the same symptoms, i'm certain I've had covid 3x.

I got covid once because of my moms boyfriend during Christmas in 2023 and I had brain fog for months.   I probably would have never caught it if wasn't for him.

I got vaccinated because I wanted to get a flu shot and they offered both.

[devils acrobat]

I got covid the 3rd time in december just a week before my vaccination (4th) appointment. The side effects of the vaccine are annoying but nothing compared to the sickness, brain fog and all... thus, I had rather had the vaccine than covid

[BartHarleyJarvis]

I got my Covid and flu shot in November and had no symptoms. At this point I think I’m up to 6 Covid shots and I think 2 of them put me on my ass for a day but otherwise haven’t had any issues except for a sore arm.

It was a nasty flu season around the holidays too. I’ll continue doing flu and Covid booster every year

[IusedToSkateMore]

you know what sucks? long covid!
