      My second Moderna shot kicked my ass for 48 hours.  I didn't feel too awful, just exhausted.  I was fatigued as hell for the weekend after but felt normal again after a few days.

        First Moderna shot- no effect whatsoever. Second Moderna shot- flu-like symptoms the next day; fatigue, body aches, slight nausea. Totally fine by the second day.  My wife had zero effects after both Moderna shots, my son had zero effects after both Pfizer shots. Kind of a crap shoot on what, if any, side effects you'll have, I guess.

        Hope you recover quickly, Filthy.

          My experience of it was like when you're starting to feel a flu coming on, but for like a full 24 hours.  Like your throat doesn't hurt yet, but you know it's about to start hurting.  Or you're not totally feverish, but your temp control is weird and you feel a tiny bit achy.  I was super tired with major brain-fog too, so I took lots of naps and abandoned my attempts to work from home.

          I've heard people who got nothing, and people who were destroyed for a day or so.  Hydrate, sleep and it will pass!

            I had bad symptoms after my first Astra Zeneca shot.  When I went back for the 2nd dose, the doc said, Astra Zeneca hits you hard after the 1st jab, but the second is fine (and I had no symptoms after the second jab), Moderna is the other way around….

              That was my experience with Moderna.  I drove 2000 miles the day after my first one and couldn’t take 3 steps off the couch after the second.

              About 2 days after my first fully vaccinated maskless trip to Walmart I caught all the colds.

                  I had the Phizer shot and the first had no real effects, the second wipes me out fatigue wise for like a day or so, but nothing else really

                    I had one beer and two slices of pizza and felt completely nauseous. I didn't even finish my second beer.

                      I read somewhere that it's recommended you not drink for a few days after the vaccines. Nothing formal in writing but lots of doctors recommend you abstain.

                            I got drunk after both Pfizer doses … which resulted in hangovers that were hard to distinguish from any side effects 🍻

                                  I had my second Pfizer jag on Friday. I felt a bit dizzy for a while afterwards, which unfortunately coincided with the drive back from the vaccination hub.

                                  Being in regional Australia, things are a bit spread out, and it was a forty-five minute drive home. Not great, and I did accidentally run a red light. Got back safely, fortunately.

                                        I'm doing better. I was just out in the yard working for a couple hours. I tried drinking another beer last night and nauseous again. Maybe it is time for me to sober up for a while?

                                        Thanks for asking @Paul9221 😃 How are you doing?

                                          If you're well enough for yard-work, you're on the mend! 😃

                                          I'm going through a similar thing to your beer situation.  I had some really nasty heartburn about a week ago, had me going to the doctor to make sure it wasn't heart-related (all the news abuzz with potential heart issues with Pfizer/Moderna vaccines didn't help!).  They told me that my heart was fine but to lay off of coffee, alcohol, spicy foods, big meals, and meals close to bedtime for the sake of the heartburn.

                                          The first two days off of coffee SUCKED!  I had that horrible caffeine withdrawal headache.  But now it's been 1.5 weeks and I'm wondering whether I should stay off of it.  I tend to be an anxious person by nature so the added anxiety that I get from caffeine makes me a pretty nervous fellow.  But man, I LOVE coffee!  I have good decaf, I guess I could stick with that, but I just wonder if I should ditch it entirely.  I sure could use a cup right around now (experiencing post-lunch sleepies).

                                          Blanket-line all the things!!!

                                            Oh man, I could not ever give up coffee. I don't drink it sometimes because all they have is Nescafé or Douglas Euberts (or whatever tf it is) instant coffee at the hotels or I know the water it is made with is gonna give me diarrhea. 😆 But I don't think I could not drink it again. Maybe moderation? Like one cup a day?
