Omicron booster effects:
Friday 5:30 pm: got the shot, am happily surprised the typical headache doesn’t kick in after an hour—no side effects Friday
Sat: 6 am—still feeling fine, except a teeny bit of sore arm—feeling hopeful I’m skipping the worst
Sat 11 am—Mack truck of symptoms hit—all the top ten except nausea, & sound/light sensitive + my skin feels like it’s burning.
Sat 11 pm: fever topped out at 102, still hot/cold/sore
Sun am: no fever, sore arm esp that lymph node, muscle aches
So about 24 hours of truly sucking misery, I couldn’t get comfortable, due to the soreness in my muscles/joints and the chills/fever. I started pushing fluids once the headache and fever kicked in.
Sincerely hoping this morning’s reduction in symptoms means I’m on my way out. Still grateful I was able to get the Omicron booster and even though it sucked, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Happy Sunday y’all, and wishing anyone else with booster symptoms a swift recovery.
@Minholkin Thank you 😊
I have a friend and a nephew by marriage with long Covid, and what they have to go through makes my experience feel like a drop in the bucket.
Just a matter of perspective. I wanted folks to know the booster symptoms can be rough but the alternative is even worse. Per the tech’s advice I’m waiting 10-14 days for my flu shot and am so glad I did.
I honor your perspective and appreciate it! 💜
