My ex wife has had both vaccinations and tested positive today.  Thankfully my son tested negative however I won’t see him for at least ten days.  Miss my kid, Covid sucks.  

Hoping they will be ok.
How long has it been since her 2nd shot?

Scary, GG!
My mother could not lift her arm for a day after the first shot ..she was much better the second day and fine the third.
Hoping your sister sees something like that.

Thanks. I am glad it didn’t last too long for your mom. I just talked to my sister. Her arm is in agony. She said it is so painful that she wants to cry, and she has a slight fever and chills. I hope she feels better tomorrow. It is worth a few days of not feeling well to get this whole thing behind us. 

I haven’t had my second shot yet, but the arm soreness from the first is no joke!  The day after the shot was the worst, but by day three it was feeling much better.  If you are planning on doing heavy lifting (or any lifting at all) after getting the shot, change your plans!

Sorry to hear that.

Has she had the regular flu vaccine?  Did she have any reaction in the past?

Yes. She gets the flu shot every year and has never gotten this reaction. I hope it starts subsiding today. She said she was up all night. 

For what it's worth, in every instance that I've read about, the more severe reactions seems to largely subside by the next day. Good luck to her.

If you know and are willing to share timing of things, I'd be interested to know.  

She got her second covid shot this past Saturday and is experiencing no covid symptoms.

Interesting.  Hope she feels better soon.

Thanks. I spoke with her earlier. She said the chills and fever and headache were much better today. She was up all night feeling miserable. She said she still has muscle aches and a sore arm, but much more manageable than yesterday. Apparently, having this kind of reaction to the second vaccine dose is an indication of a robust immune system. So, that part is good.

Good news - and that somewhat alleviates my fears of strong reactions. In a roundabout way, my immune system absolutely sucking could for once be beneficial (at least in that little realm).

BC has been household only for 8 weeks or so with a couple more to go before a renewal or heightened restrictions can be implemented, such as closing non-essential business or schools.

Formerly, for social interactions I could visit my mom, sisters, or a friend or two. Now, my calandar looks like: shopping at the mall for spring clothes, whitening my teeth at the dentist, microblading my eyebrows, breast enhancement surgery, manicures, massages, along with walking the dog and skiing. (I am also allowed to eat a restaurant with my household only- which is my kid, so I don't. - or I am allowed to have interactions with people who live alone.)

But I'm thinking... since the new variants spread more quickly, any buisness restrictions such as limiting occupancy and heightened cleaning may not be effective as they targetted the Covid we new in 2020. So, maybe it's best if I resume my old forms of interacting with others, rather than the outings that are permissible here! (Is this covid fatigue - or am I doing a risk assessment that is more to my favour than that of the economy?)
