So I woke up at 3am with a slightly sore throat, like the least sore throat ever but it's definitely a something so I called out of work. So 17 hours later and it's gotten no worse beyond the faintest muscle soreness and I'm just wondering if this was the lamest cold ever, the first shot is kicking COVID's ass, or if it's just waiting till tomorrow to kick me in the balls. Thankfully mother is fully vaccinated so I'm not too worried about her but I've still been hiding in my room all day watching YouTube in bed.

Usually, the first dose isn't the one that kicks your ass -
mild arm soreness and maybe a bit tired.
It's the second one that usually hits you 18- 24 hours later
that brings on the mild fever and possible achiness.

It's been well over a week, close to two. I don't think this is the first shot.

Yesterday I spilled orange juice all in my midi keyboard.:bonkhead:

Have you guys heard of COVID Arm?

Neither did I until I ****ing got it.

No I don't know whatever it is. I heard Eric Clapton said he got peripherial neurapathy as a result of getting the AstraZeneca’s vaccine. But my friend who is a EC fan said he always had trouble. Someone I know got tremors in the arm she received the shot in, but I don't know how severe or persistent the problem is. I hope it's nothing that serious.

Ok, so then it's not "the first shot ... kicking COVID's ass"

Yeah, if I remember right, it's when you develop a rash near the injection site.
It either goes away on its own or you can get some topical ointment
(usually a steroid) to put on it for a few days. Usually, no biggie.

no that doesn't mean the same thing

No I mean maybe I got COVID but since I already have one shot it's milder.
