I was on 10 wait lists for the AZ vaccine here north of Toronto - signed up on Monday/Tuesday of last week. I got a call Saturday from a small pharmacy in Innisfill saying I was up to book an appointment - so I booked my appointment for the first available date which was this past Monday at 2pm.

Got the shot, felt fine up until about 7pm when a slight headache started, no big deal and I told the wife "I'll be right as rain tomorrow" and I went to bed nice and early at 945 pm to try and make sure.

11pm - the fun began when the absolutely crippling, Migrane level headache started.
1130 - 1230 or 1am - the chills and a slight fever set in - I'm talking big time chills as in put on socks, sweat pants, long sleeve t-shirt and a sweat shirt under a duvet in bed and still cold chills.

1am(ish) chills over - stripping off clothes now like Jenna Jamison in her prime because I'm sweating bullets, still running a slight fever and my head is absolutely pounding.

4am - wife put 2 ice packs on my head and I finally fell asleep at 5am until 8am.

8am - still migraine level headache and entire body feels like I was a punching bag for a gym full of pro boxers training for a week. Booked off sick for work and even to send 3 emails was insanely hard, took me an hour to send 3 "I can't make the meeting today, I'm out sick" emails.

All day -body aches continued at the "punching bag" level - ate toast at noon. Headache dialed back starting at about noon from migraine to strong to end of a hangover level.

Napped 3pm to 445pm.

Went to bed with just a slight headache but still sore body/ muscle aches.

Woke up today finally free of headache, sore and achy but more of a 'I overdid it on the weekend working outside" soreness but feel exhausted and groggy / in a fog.

Wild ride - I have my 2nd shot Aug 16th and have learned my lesson and have proactively booked the next day off.

I was shocked how much it impacted me and how delayed the reaction was / how long the headache lasted. I generally have no reaction at all to meds, or vaccinations.

Only other thing of note - it feels like someone punched me in my arm in the same spot for 2 or 3 hours straight. This despite the fact I iced the poop out of it from when i got home on Monday until dinner time.

Looking forward to the Leafs / Habs tonight and then to bed early (again).

yeah that is the worst reaction Ive heard of yet!

COVID can't tell the difference between skin types.

It can tell the difference between socio-economic levels. The infection rate vs. income level is incredibly linear.

The people in those neighbourhoods will have the same rate of infection, regardless of skin colour.

Everyone in that neighbourhood needs the vaccine sooner.

- Atomic Wedgie

But they don’t have the same rate of infection. That’s the whole point. I have no idea what the issue is - where people work, number of people in a household, but higher Covid case numbers aren’t confined to specific neighborhoods or geographic areas.

I don’t know that the Hamilton approach is right but 51% of the cases for 19% of the population is a problem

Kind of funny how it works.

everyone in my family has had it now and no one had any symptoms at all.

A friend of mine had an asymptomatic covid case 5 months ago but then the vaccine put her on her ass for two days.

Federal investigators just searched Rudy G’s apartment. Borat nowhere to be found.

Yeesh, sorry dude ..sounds rough. Although on the plus side the heavy reactions are only a sign that the vaccine is triggered and working. It's a good thing.

That brutal.

A friend of mine (60) got his AZ shot about 6 weeks ago, and he described the way he felt as "every possible symptom mentioned on the pamphlet". Glad you're largely over it.

- The Law

Thanks - the lady who gave me the jab said something similar in that some of the reactions are good and means the vaccine is working - I just it hadn't been almost all of them and all turned up to 10!

Today is so much better than yesterday though, I would accept feeling how I do right now for a week vs how I felt for a day yesterday.

Of course this has done nothing to help my wife feel good about getting the AZ vaccine but we are spacing them out so that if one of of has the type of reaction like I did the other can be healthy and take care of them.

She reacts much more strongly to drugs than me, half a regular dose of NyQuil for her makes her groggy for 24 hours. That combined with the fact she has suffered from Migraines her whole life worries me about how the vaccine will effect her (despite me continually saying she will be fine).

It sure is odd how it all works. All that being said, I would still get the shot even knowing how I would feel the next day, the peace of mind that I already have and will have to such a higher degree after the 2nd shot is worth it to me. Elderly parents, in laws with health issues, the desire to travel and be 'normal' again one day and do things like play hockey and ball make it worth it to me.

I mean how much of a hypocrite would I be when I look back at all those nights where I have thought drinking "THAT MUCH" of whatever was a good idea knowing full well how it would make me feel the next day.

I've read that people with the strongest immune systems get the worst reactions to the vaccine. It's suppose to be a sign of a good thing that your immune system is strong as hell to fight the little introduction of the vaccine.

Are you normally a really healthy person?

Dammit! Although I'm a bit of a night owl anyway (always have been) and an 8pm game between the Habs and Leafs will just make me remember when that was the normal time to watch these 2 team play - at The Gardens or the Forum!

You mean back when you had time to eat before going to the game instead of rushing you into paying 20$ for 2 slices of pizza and a beer?

AMEN!

Your bang on with that, the choices (especially for a weeknight game) are eat early and fast at a restaurant close to the rink and feel like poop because of it or eat overpriced (really overpriced if you want anything other than a hot dog or slice of pizza) rink food.

And $20 at the Leaf game likely doesn't (or barely does depending on how big a beer you buy) get you one slice and a beer never mind 2 slices.

Having been to a lot of Leafs/Habs games at the Bell Centre (although I haven't been there in at least 7 years now) I do recall being pleasantly shocked at the reasonable prices for both food and beer there. They had several combo deals which were more along the lines of what you mentioned "2 steamed dogs + a beer" for $20 or less.

I preferred to go to Mr.Steer burger at like 4pm for a great 'dinner' and to lay down a base before a big night at the game and after the game. We generally were in town on the night before the game and always had a really nice steak dinner at Que de Cheval (sp?) that one night - good god I can taste the steak as I type this.......

did God give him the covid? im not sure how all that works.
Could God have just stopped him from ever getting covid?
- senstroll

God (whichever one you are attracted to) only helps you if you offer thoughts and prayers AND DONATIONS before you get COVID.

the thoughts and prayers ... are the most important thing ....

after the donations.

I am normally pretty healthy, I don't get sick much and in fact I've got sick less and less over the past few years so I'll assume it's a good thing I had a strong reaction.
