I just signed up for vsafe but got my vaccine on 12/29. I want to clarify that the following day, 12/30 I had moderate pain and swelling at the injection site which required Tylenol for relief. I took Tylenol in the morning of 12/31 as well. I am only being prompted to answer how I feel today, which is much better! But I wanted to note the swelling and pain 24-48 hrs following the vaccine

I have had random sharp lower right abdominal pain a couple of times today. Not sure if its related to the vaccine.

I have had some tinnitus, sensitivity to loud sounds and occasional bouts of dizziness. I have an appointment with an ENT next week to check out whats going on. Visit with an ENT in person and hearing test scheduled for next week

I am currently 5 days late on my mentrual cycle and Im normally pretty regular. No chance that I am pregnant.

I recently had a couple mild allergic reactions that I've never before experienced. Allergic reaction to cinnamon tea. Also a itchy reaction with hives after going in the jacuzzi. Also, R eyelid bepharodpasm lasting weeks Dermatologist office visit

The night after my vaccine I started to feel sore underneath my axillary region. This morning I noticed it is very swollen and tender. It doesn't feel hard, just like there is a bunch of fluid accumulated in that region. It's like a water balloon!

The swelling under my axillary region has not improved and is still very tender. If it's not improved in a couple days I'll consult my GP

I feel like the swelling under my arm is starting to improve

My underarm swelling is definitely getting better! Phew! That was weird!

The injection site pain began about an hour after yesterday's checkin.

Injection site discomfort, not as bad.

Nothing serious, just feeling some aches. Could even be weather related - rain predicted.

May be allergy related

Minor aches

It's allergy season, so they mix with anything else.But I do not believe what I am dealing with is vaccine related.

Have allergies, bad this year again. Aches and pains randomly anywhere.

I got COVID, 3 days of exposure not known until 2 days after.Positive home test. Wife in hospital 8/17 to 8/24. I went in 9/1. Shortness breathing, weak, malaise, sore legs and feet. CT Scan showed embolisms in both lungs, sonagram showed clots.

Odd tremors yesterday for 10 minutes. No tremors since.

Ear ache that lasted for 3 days. Ear ache appears to be gone today. I have never gotten earaches my whole life until now.

Serious watering eyes and sinuses blocked severely. However, seems to me that my immune system took over and knocked it right baxk down to nothing in about 4 hours. Very pleased about that.

Aura, Rash pruritic and Injection site erythema

About 20 min. after the shot, I started to get a slight aura for about 10 min., similar to when Im getting a migraine. Never developed into a migraine, though.

The rash actually showed up yesterday after I had already sent in my check-up. It itched a little, but was hardly noticeable this morning. The redness around the shot area showed up later yesterday also and is still a little red and tender as of tonight.

The headache and nausea hit early this afternoon, very unexpectedly. Took a Tum and some ibuprofen and lay down for about a half an hour. Nausea is gone, but still have a slight headache.

I got Covid in January. Am fine now. No long Covid smptoms. Did not lose taste or smell. Just fever and very bad cough.

Feeling of relaxation, Dry skin and Sleep disorder

Mild. Minor tiredness, likely from work. I started work at 4AM, got the vaccine at 8:30-ish and felt tired around 11AM. Now Im just watching TV and feel like I could to sleep early, but Ill stay up so that I dont get up early for work.

Just normal fatigue from a days work

Tiredness thats likely related to a full days work.

Itching on almost all over last night, but it could be from my skin being dry

Tired after a days work and 6 hours of sleep. I I was up late and woke up a couple of times

To clarify muscle pain, intense lower back pain on the 3rd day. Aside from possibly being the vaccine, it couldve been a sudden bad move on my part at work or at home.

Ive had lower back pain that has been a toss up between lifting my child the wrong way and/or its the Pfizer shot. Since Im at day 9, I dont think it is the pathogen/vaccine .

Just minor lower back aches and in a chillax frame of mind. Taking Alleve for said minor pain.

Just exhausted from a days

Its one thing to apply these questions to someone on sick leave or bed rest. Im a working person, I lift things at work, twist and scoop, Im a baker. So yes Ill be tired at the end of the day. I also get stressed about certain things like buying an RV or not. So all this could contribute to the lower back/muscle pain and nit be a symptom, side effect or reaction to Pfizer. Thanks

Lower back pain BUT, it's something I wake up with from time to time. I don't think it's related to the booster

Caught COVID. There was a case at work between the 11th-13th. There was also a case at my daughter's school between the 16th-20th. A home test was negative the 18th, as was a PCR test the 19th. I tested positive at home the 21st. I had mild symptoms.

That shot hit me so hard at 10:30 yesterday, I slept two hours, drove an hour and a half, slept two more hours and slept all the way through till 730 with bathroom breaks. And today Im just overall fatigue, but can function

I had to take a nap at 9oclock this morning, I woke yawning by 2 PM all symptoms past.

Two hours after waking up, while driving, the yawns hit and I had to pull over and sleep for two hours. After that, I yawned for about 45 minutes and I was OK

A flash in my right eye before the floater comes into sight.

Sinus congestion

Peripheral swelling, Feeling hot and Asthenia

when I got my 1st dose, my arm was sore, fevered, and swollen. I had a low grade fever and a noticeable headache. My 2nd dose hasn't produced any of these reactions. Should I be concerned?

wanted to say it took 13 hours after injection before I had any symptoms. Then they hit hard and fast. I am 67 and had a strong reaction with mt 2st shot. I was expecting a stronger reaction with 2nd dose and was perplexed when nothing happened for the 1st 13 hours.

I'm fine now. yiu can stop having me check in. I have no symptoms now

feeling much worse than other 2 vaccines. Extreme body aches this time

low energy. I get tired easy

Ocular discomfort, Sluggishness and Sensitive skin

My report on Moderna Shot #2: For almost 30 hours afterwards, I felt the vaccine circulating my lymph system, making every gland from head to feet tingle, ache, and itch. I felt achey discomfort in eyes & ears; my scalp became very sensitive; and my shoulder, hip, wrist, and hand muscles felt extremely tight & inflamedso much so, I was afraid I might tear a muscle if I did yoga. I felt weird and sluggish, maybe even irritable. My arm hurt a lot, and was very uncomfortable to move. This evening, finally, I took an Advil before going out to a masked&distanced meeting, and two hours later, suddenly I felt much, much better. My arm still hurts, but I do not feel like such a painful wreck. Maybe tomorrow will bring new sensations caused by the vaccine, but tonight I am thankful for that ibuprofen.

Facial paresis, Skin tightness and Skin warm

1/2 hour my 1st Moderna vaccination (left arm), half my body, esp. left side/face felt numb, tight, swollen though I wasnt swollen. Breathing ok,yet headache, hot back & racing heart, 1 week later, left underarm/lymph nodes were swollen, pain, sti Left message/called doctor & almost went to ER twice

1/2 hour after 1st vaccine, half my face (body) go numb & tight & felt swollen, almost felt paralyzed for 40 minutes & less numb for a few hours. Hot back, then chills. Felt pain/soreness in arm next 2 day & pain:swelling in lymph nodes 1 week later.

Mobility decreased, Muscular weakness and Lethargy

No

Just a note: the side effects really kicked in about 18 hours after the injection.

Side effects for me were worse than Pfizer vaccine # 2. Not horrible though.

Day 3 post-Moderna booster: I apparently have "Covid arm." The area is about 3" x 6". No pain. Arm movement is limited due to tenderness and weakness.

Feeling better today. "Covid arm" symptoms are abating.

"Covid arm" symptoms continueday 3. Arm is still weak and a little tender. Hoping for big improvement this weekend.

Hypersensitivity symptoms continue to decrease.

COVID arm continues to heal.

Mild itching began on day 3 post-injection. Not sure if I noted that previously. After booster #2 in December 2021, I had "Covid Arm." Maybe this is a milder form of that.

No.

Depressed mood, Herpes zoster and Somnolence

Sleepy

Very slight tenderness when I raise my arm

Sort of down

Yesterday when I reported in it had been only about an hour since I had gotten my jab. Last evening my arm wax sore, especially when I raised it. Today, it is slightly sore when I raise it. I will say that when I got home, a couple of hours later I took 400 mg of IBP and I slept in today and after eating I took 400 mg IBP again...along with my 600 mg Gabapentin and 50 mg Tramadol Ive been on for Shingles neuralgia. The medical personnel told me I could take those, though I did not take any before my 2:32 pm jab

Tiredness...it may be from my Shingles neuralgia.

Biliary colic, Gallbladder disorder and Cholecystectomy

The arm pain is barely noticeable!!

The pain is barely noticeable I have to press my hand on the site to feel it!

Serious vomiting & diarrhea plus minor abdominal pain. The hospital did make CV19 test & it was negative!

They discovered that my Gallbladder has a serious problem. Plus it is creating a lot of pain

It turns out I had a bad gallbladder. But that has been removed and things seem to be on an upswing.

The pain is so mild if I dont think about it it is noticeable.

I had my gallbladder out 2 weeks ago & food does not appeal much. This is different than the surgeon said. He said I could eat normally but not greasy food or caffeine. Is my lack of interest due to operation or vaccine?

Slight pain that is better today.

Abdominal pains and a feeling of malaise.

Cough

Mild pain in my Rt shoulder. Additionally frequently coughing (This was not occurring prior to the injection). I cannot tell if it is related to the shot. I did not have a caugh prior to the shot. It started about 12 hours later.
