Free text: I think they are being sore is caused from the shot being given down towards the bottom part of the muscle on my arm instead of the top part. Its only about 4 inches from my elbow where they gave me the shot. My arm started feeling sore again last night and then today my temperature dropped down. Then my joints started to hurt and I felt tired with some mild muscle muscle aches. Another thing of interest to me is from the day after I got the shot my appetite increased dramatically that last until Wednesday. I was eating like three times what I normally eat and felt hungry a lot of the time. I thought that was quite unusual Because usually I dont feel ravenous. Just an odd thing. Well see if it happens again after the second shot. Other than that all is well.
