Ive had little sleep in last 24 hrs and am exhausted!!!! What is in the moderna? Is this normal? ...oh wait, nobody knows!! I have not ever experienced the things ive felt inside since the 1st shot. Anybody else i know was ok with their shot. This isnt "just like a flu shot", far from it actually!! I get flu shots yearly n this doesnt happen. I am dreading the 2nd dose now and i cannot afford to be down for days! I have animals, a home n property to tend to, and not much help in those areas. I feel like a damn guinea pig now and i feel sick as hell on top of it all. Miserable for sure!!! How many more days of this o.m.g!!!!!
