Their Stories

Nerve compression, Injection site nodule and Swelling

4.27.2021 – My hand on the arm I got the shot in has been numb since the day after the shot. It feels like a pinched nerve. I dont sleep on this side of my body. I never got a knot where I got the shot.

4.28.2021 – I still have the numbness in my left hand which I got the shot in my left arm.

5.1.2021 – I still have numbness in 2 of the fingers on my left hand which is the same arm I got the shot in.

5.22.2021 – This is the 2nd day where there is a visible knot between my shoulder and neck on the side where I got the injection. Its not as painful as yday, but when I lift my arm above my head I feel a discomfort. I wont be able to do any heavy lifting that I had planned today.

5.23.2021 – Swelling in neck has gone down.

Myalgia, Diarrhea and Nasopharyngitis

4.28.2021 – I've gotten the common cold virus and am with severe body aches and mild headache, howeverTylenol is working just fine. *I am scheduled to get my second dose tomorrow but is thinking to postpone the appointment.

1.3.2022 – I've developed a sorethroat and cough which I think isn't related to the shot; I did a home test kit for COVID-19 which was negative.

1.24.2022 – Mild sore throat, worsening cough, fatigue, muscle aches, diarrhea. **Pending COVID 19 result.

1.31.2022 – Dry cough

Sleep disorder, Abdominal pain and Influenza like illness

4.30.2021 – Very minor, almost not noticable

5.1.2021 – Headache and fatigue with minimal muscle aches and injection site still pretty sore. Eerything else hit me yesterday about 7pm and hit me hard by 9pm. Felt like a medium flu. Abdominal pain was mostly associated with sore muscles/body aches. Eating though no appetite prevented nausea, bagels especially. Joint pain was almost extreme and more than the muscle aches both of which put me down. Last night I could NOT lay on the injected arm. Properly hydrating for 2 to 3 days before probably would have helped quite a bit. I would've definately called in to work over it. If the immunization sucked, I am certain getting it saved me from much worse.

5.2.2021 – The muscle pains, throughout, are more like sore muscles after an extreme workout. Much better today but not gone yet. Definitely fatigued today. The worst part is the pain around the injection site through all this. I should have asked if I could take ibuprophen or something to deal with it. All in all, I am up and moving and no headache (I have struggled with headaches in general) so very relieved today!
