It is due on our anniversary and we have plans to go out. So I might suggest that he choose to go to grandma's house afterward. His fever this time was 103, so if it got worse and he was sleeping a lot, it might be good to have someone occasionally nudging him with a glass of water. I feel for him. It is not easy to sit around three weeks knowing you face more of the same. But he also has a little lung scar tissue from the punctured from the car accident which makes covid riskier for him than the average 24 year old, and he is a big believer in "taking one for the team" and has been covid careful all along. So he is just giving it the "stiff upper lip" approach. I am proud of him. This is our child who runs a fever and chills just from a tetanus booster. He just has such a crazy, reactive body, and even had a blood transfusion reaction. He can't catch a break. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I had my second Oxford-AstraZeneca today. No reaction so far. Very good verbal and written information about when you should get help if you have particular reactions. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did great with no panic attack and I’m so thankful. I didn’t feel weird after the vaccine like last time. I’m so thankful. I had my vaccine at noon and around 9 pm I started shivering and was so sleepy I fell asleep just lying on my bed with the lights on. I didn’t even send the kids to bed, dh did. I woke up between 4 and 4:30 to get dh ready to work. I was still shivering and I felt first trimester pregnant. I didn’t feel like throwing up, but I just felt like just the same queasy stomach I have when I’m pregnant. I say good bye to dh at 5 am and go back to bed. I just woke up at 8:30, no sickness, no shivering. I woke up with a slight dull headache and feeling very overheated and dehydrated. I drank a gallon of water day before, day of and I’m working on day after. My headache is already almost gone after drinking a glass of water. I fully believe whoever here that suggested to stay hydrated had great advice. My arm was more sore on dose 2. I usually sleep on my arm and I couldn’t use my shot arm. I’m hoping I’m through the worst of it. If this is it(knock on wood) it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. I am so thankful to have this behind me. I’m so thankful I was able to do something to help end this craziness. I’m so thankful that even though I was terrified and really wanted a reason not to go back for my second dose, I did it anyway.I am also extremely thankful to everyone here for your kindness and encouragement after I had such a bad time after my first vaccine. ❤️ Thank you for the update, Elizabeth -- I was wondering how you were doing, and I'm so glad you got up your nerve (again!) and got your second shot. Good for you!!!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reaction 24 hours on - not even a sore arm. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
