Anyone get the COVID-19 Bivalent Pfizer booster? (normal, area, better)

[reebo]

I got the Pfizer bivaliant booster yesterday, with no ill effects so far. I haven't had any problems with the other covid vaccines I've gotten. I did take a prophylactic dose of tylenol right after, but only because my neighbor got knocked on her ass for a few days with fever and aches after her booster. I don't know if it had anything to do with her having had breast cancer and covid twice.

I'm wondering if people that have had Covid prior to starting the vaccines, are more prone to these side effects or reactions whatever they are. I had Covid 3 months before my first dose of Pfzier in 2020. Perhaps we have antibodies already from having Covid and then we get the vaccines and its to much for our bodies. Of course I have no way to know that's what happens, but then the Medical Community doesn't have an answer either. I've asked Doctors and I've looked all over the internet for answers and no one seems to know. Just shows how new and not really tested enough these vaccines are. We really are a ginny pig.

Don't know why they have me wearing the monitor. They already know this is a possible side effect. All I can think of is they don't know what to do and are just using the time to see what happens.

Also severe joint pain.

These 2 side effects are listed as possible. These are from the past boosters not the new one.

Yes the heart rate spikes palpatations scared me the most, and the weak dizzy feeling that came with it. This latest version of the vaccine is somewhat different than the previous, so god only knows what effect its going to have on different people. It could I'm sure aggravate medical conditions the person already has at least for awhile. My sister had the vaccine 2 weeks before me, and she did not get as much as a sore arm. She has never had Covid though like I have. With me its every single shot I'm sick, and this latest experience was much worse than the previous.

Yes I don't blame you. Pass for awhile.

I got Covid a week after having Melanoma cancer surgery in Dec 2020. In fact much of the staff at the surgical center where I had the surgery had it. I can only imagine it came from there, since I could not wear a mask as the surgery was on my face. So like your neighbor its possible those that have had Covid and Cancer, may be more prone to these horrible side effects of the vaccines. I think the medical community needs to really work on finding the cause of these side effects, since for some of us they are severe not mild by no means.

Had the Moderna Updated Booster this past Saturday. It wasn't unbearable, but I have had general soreness in my whole body (including the arm) the past couple of days, as well as general fatigue/lethargy. I slept like a baby the past 2 nights, so that was a benefit, lol. It's seems like it's starting to wear off a little today.

That's good to hear. I'm glad quite a few people don't get nearly as sick as others do. I hope the people that are developing these vaccines, are working on a solution to why some get so sick vs others.

To see if you're experiencing an arrythmia such as PSVT. That would be a condition completely unrelated to the vaccine.

Four covid shots (Pfizer all the way)- latest one last week when I went to CVS for my annual flu shot. It's been a week and no reaction to either shot. One in each arm.

This week got the Prevnar pneumonia shot. So far, no reaction.


I have nothing to complain about. I think I'll complain about that I have nothing to complain about. Sounds about right in this environment.
