    Free text: Muscle weakness. Abdominal pain likely due to gas also was a problem yesterday. Insomnia: slept fewer than 4 hours the night after the vaccine & was unable to sleep during the day. Fever of 102.2 may be an underestimate because my digital thermometer never registers 98.6 (my normal temperature when measured in a clinical setting). When taking my temperature for work, the highest temperature registered was 97.4 or 97.6 and usually it is lower. I was unable to report this temperature by editing yesterday's report after my fever increased. Yesterday, I felt worse than I did when I had the flu at age 18 or 19. Spent most of yesterday and a lot of today in bed.

    Free text: Trouble falling asleep due to chills (cold feet) and abdominal pain. 2 episodes of watery diarrhea from about 12:50-1:30 am. Abdominal pain all day long. Should have reported moderate abdominal pain in my 1st report, but attributed it to SIBO-caused IBS not to the vaccine. Should also have reported loss of appetite from my 1st report. Have lost 7 pounds in less than 3 days since I was vaccinated (129.5 pounds this afternoon). Took a vacation day (use them or lose them) and did nearly half a days work but wanted to go back to bed the whole time. No appetite again (had gone from zero on Saturday to improving on Sunday). With no fever, I only had 1 glass of water and nothing to eat all day. I have been vaccinated a lot as an adult and never experienced any side effect other than pain/soreness/tenderness at the injection site (after vaccines for measles, HepB, flu, H1N1, TdaP, & pneumonia). Even as someone who has a generous amount of paid time off (PTO), I consider the side effects of this free vaccine very costly. For someone without PTO, the side effects could be prohibitively costly. Side effects like this are a public relations nightmare and will not help in the battle to convince the vaccine hesitant to get vaccinated. If we all will need to get vaccinated for COVID-19 regularly, like we do for the flu, then we need a better vaccine with fewer side effectsa vaccine that works like the well-established, FDA-approved vaccines. Clearly, a lot more work needs to be done on the current set of vaccines. We are grateful for the protection they promise, but the costs in illness, economics, & productivity are too high to be sustainable. Took a vacation day (use them or lose them) and did nearly half a days work from home but wanted to go back to bed the whole time.

    Free text: Trouble falling asleep due to chills (cold feet & calves). Fatigue still severe, spent a large chunk of the day in bed. Joint pain in my hands still a problem, esp. when I woke up. Abdominal pain mild today. Headache . 129 pounds this morning--have lost 7.5 pounds since I was vaccinated (& I'm not overweight--I'm 66.5 inches tall). Appetite still poor but improving. None of the questions ask if I had COVID or thought I might have had COVID but was unable to be tested to confirm that I had COVID. Shouldnt we be collecting data to determine who is more likely to have side effects from the vaccine so people are more informed when consenting to receive the vaccine? If someone is more likely to have severe side effects, it would be better if that person would be able to plan ahead for that possibility. It is very possible that I had COVID in March 2020 when it was virtually impossible to get tested and anyone who suspected they had COVID was told to stay home and take good care of themselves if they were not seriously ill.

    Free text: Have been home from work and taking time off all week. Exhausted this morningvery interrupted sleep & had minor abdominal pain & chills last night which made it a little difficult to get to sleep. Slept through my alarm & didnt wake up until around 9 am, much later than Ive been waking up all week. Muscle weakness improved. Appetite is better. Joint pain persists: pain in hands when using the garlic press & in left elbow when drying the heavy 8 quart stainless steel stockpot. Where are the definitions of mild, moderate & severe? They were missing yesterday & today. I didn't make a note of them & they aren't in my prior check-ins. I refer to those definitions every time I do a check-in.

    Free text: Muscle weakness. Loss of appetite (didn't eat anything today). Feel like I have the flu. Spent most of the day in bed & was uninterested in activities I normally enjoy that require little energy: reading, watching TV, listening to the radio. At one point, the chills were so severe that I was shivering while in flannel long sleeved and ankle length pant plus a fleece vest zipped all the way up, tucked under all of the covers. Took a very long time to get warm. Fine muscle tremors noticed when taking my temperature or drinking water. Joint pain is so severe that my fingers & hands were painful as a squeezed the water out of my hand laundry (including my masks) last night.

Release 5 — days 1–6 daily, dose 1

2021-03-13

Systemic reaction (other): Heart palpitations

2021-03-14

Systemic reaction (other): Muscle weakness. Abdominal pain likely due to gas also was a problem yesterday. Insomnia: slept fewer than 4 hours the night after the vaccine & was unable to sleep during the day. Fever of 102.2 may be an underestimate because my digital thermometer never registers 98.6 (my normal temperature when measured in a clinical setting). When taking my temperature for work, the highest temperature registered was 97.4 or 97.6 and usually it is lower. I was unable to report this temperature by editing yesterday's report after my fever increased. Yesterday, I felt worse than I did when I had the flu at age 18 or 19. Spent most of yesterday and a lot of today in bed.

2021-03-15

Systemic reaction (other): Trouble falling asleep due to chills (cold feet) and abdominal pain. 2 episodes of watery diarrhea from about 12:50-1:30 am. Abdominal pain all day long. Should have reported moderate abdominal pain in my 1st report, but attributed it to SIBO-caused IBS not to the vaccine. Should also have reported loss of appetite from my 1st report. Have lost 7 pounds in less than 3 days since I was vaccinated (129.5 pounds this afternoon). Took a vacation day (use them or lose them) and did nearly half a days work but wanted to go back to bed the whole time. No appetite again (had gone from zero on Saturday to improving on Sunday). With no fever, I only had 1 glass of water and nothing to eat all day. I have been vaccinated a lot as an adult and never experienced any side effect other than pain/soreness/tenderness at the injection site (after vaccines for measles, HepB, flu, H1N1, TdaP, & pneumonia). Even as someone who has a generous amount of paid time off (PTO), I consider the side effects of this free vaccine very costly. For someone without PTO, the side effects could be prohibitively costly. Side effects like this are a public relations nightmare and will not help in the battle to convince the vaccine hesitant to get vaccinated. If we all will need to get vaccinated for COVID-19 regularly, like we do for the flu, then we need a better vaccine with fewer side effectsa vaccine that works like the well-established, FDA-approved vaccines. Clearly, a lot more work needs to be done on the current set of vaccines. We are grateful for the protection they promise, but the costs in illness, economics, & productivity are too high to be sustainable. Took a vacation day (use them or lose them) and did nearly half a days work from home but wanted to go back to bed the whole time.

2021-03-16

Systemic reaction (other): Trouble falling asleep due to chills (cold feet & calves). Fatigue still severe, spent a large chunk of the day in bed. Joint pain in my hands still a problem, esp. when I woke up. Abdominal pain mild today. Headache . 129 pounds this morning--have lost 7.5 pounds since I was vaccinated (& I'm not overweight--I'm 66.5 inches tall). Appetite still poor but improving. None of the questions ask if I had COVID or thought I might have had COVID but was unable to be tested to confirm that I had COVID. Shouldnt we be collecting data to determine who is more likely to have side effects from the vaccine so people are more informed when consenting to receive the vaccine? If someone is more likely to have severe side effects, it would be better if that person would be able to plan ahead for that possibility. It is very possible that I had COVID in March 2020 when it was virtually impossible to get tested and anyone who suspected they had COVID was told to stay home and take good care of themselves if they were not seriously ill.

2021-03-17

Systemic reaction (other): muscle weakness, loss of appetite. Intermittent pain in my hands & fingers, for example when squeezing water from hand laundry (delicates should not be twisted or wrung). Also intermittent headache & pain in other joints like my knees. Chills interfered with my ability to sleep.

2021-03-18

Systemic reaction (other): Have been home from work and taking time off all week. Exhausted this morningvery interrupted sleep & had minor abdominal pain & chills last night which made it a little difficult to get to sleep. Slept through my alarm & didnt wake up until around 9 am, much later than Ive been waking up all week. Muscle weakness improved. Appetite is better. Joint pain persists: pain in hands when using the garlic press & in left elbow when drying the heavy 8 quart stainless steel stockpot. Where are the definitions of mild, moderate & severe? They were missing yesterday & today. I didn't make a note of them & they aren't in my prior check-ins. I refer to those definitions every time I do a check-in.

Release 5 — day 7, dose 1

2021-03-19

Systemic reaction (other): Very interrupted sleep. Appetite still not normal. Definitions of mild, moderate, & severe appeared briefly, but vanished when I tried copying them (for reference, since they have been absent for the last few days).

Systemic reaction (other): Muscle weakness. Loss of appetite (didn't eat anything today). Feel like I have the flu. Spent most of the day in bed & was uninterested in activities I normally enjoy that require little energy: reading, watching TV, listening to the radio. At one point, the chills were so severe that I was shivering while in flannel long sleeved and ankle length pant plus a fleece vest zipped all the way up, tucked under all of the covers. Took a very long time to get warm. Fine muscle tremors noticed when taking my temperature or drinking water. Joint pain is so severe that my fingers & hands were painful as a squeezed the water out of my hand laundry (including my masks) last night.
