Monday morning I went into Walgreen's to get the latest Covid booster, and while I was there I decided to get my flu shot and a couple of other vaccinations I've been putting off, pneumonia and shingles, so, four shots, two in each arm. You know how sometimes you just do these things on the spur of the moment, without really thinking them through? Or, at least, I do. So, it turned out not to be a very good idea, as, by Monday evening I couldn't really lift either arm comfortably, and I can't take any anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin or ibuprofen because I'm taking a strong anti-inflammatory for my arthritis. Chills and a little fever that night and feeling yucky all day Tuesday. Fortunately I woke up feeling great Wednesday morning, but I don't think I'll ever try that again. How many times did I tell my children to think before doing something, actions have consequences. I need to remind myself of that when I'm looking for something to eat even though I'm not hungry.

I have an appointment in 2 weeks for my covid booster and flu shot. I've never had 2 at a time. Am just getting over a mild case of Shingles bc I've had that vaccine. And boy, I can't recommend it highly enough. A mild case was pretty uncomfortable!

I’m glad you got through all of that. Proud of you though because I would have been a chicken to do all that!:)

That is scary! I just scheduled my Covid booster and flu shot for the same time. I need a shingles vaccine but am going to wait on them. I remember when I got my last Covid booster the pharmacist told me people often feel lousy after the shingles vaccine, so I want to do it when it's the only vaccine I'm getting. I do get a fever and chills after the Covid shots.

My Sister who is a medical doctor advised me to take one shot at a time so that the reactions could be monitored independently...

I need to get all those shots too. Now I'm thinking 1 per week would work better.

Glad you’re feeling better

How is your dental surgery? can you eat food yet?
|
HCB, recovery from the dental survey has gone smoothly, and I am back on regular food as of yesterday. Going to a movie and late lunch with friends tomorrow and looking forward to it.

Oh my, I feel so bad for you! I'm kinda surprised they would do so many at a time! 2 is bad enough, and that's 1 in each arm - unless you have extra arms? 🤣 I'm happy you're feeling much better!
I got the Shingles vaccine at the same time as my Covid booster, & boy did I feel bad. About 4 days bad! But I'm so relieved I got them! I'm going to get my 2nd Covid booster & my flu shot next week, & I hope I sail though it like I did with the 1st booster. Unfortunately, I'm probably not that lucky, as the 1st 2 shots I had the fever chills etc for days. But, still better than getting very sick/dying from Covid! 🙏

John, I considered that, but I've never had a severe reaction to any medication in my life, so I really wasn't concerned. Sore arms and feeling a little tired for 24 hours is as extreme as its ever gotten.

My sister said the Shingles Shot alone laid her low for a few days. I can't imagine all 4!

Oops I meant I got the Shingles vaccines with my 1st & 2nd Covid shots & felt really bad. The 1st Covid booster I had no ill effects from!! 🤯

BBB, I'm so glad you'd already been vaccinated. I've put it off much too long. Shingles is not a pleasant disease.

Sorry for your pain! Makes me glad I just got that 2nd booster and none of the other shots. The booster didn't make me feel bad, but the arm was sore.
