Safety Report: Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine - 1st Dose experience, Ohio, USA
4 years ago
Ohio, United States
My husband and I received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on April 22, 2021. Both of us are in our 50's, and we each have pre-existing health conditions. Receipt of the shot was painful for NEITHER of us, BUT the post-vaccine experiences DIFFER for us greatly ...My husband who has debilitating musculoskeletal and nerve issues, over a 24-hr period, noticed little more than a sore arm. I, however -- a post-menopausal female with fibromyalgia -- was unable to lift my arm and could barely move from body aches and stiffness for 3 days. The shot seemed to trigger a hyper-immune response within me, and I'm guessing that my complete profile with hormone and autoimmune conditions at least played a role. I am fine now, and I will receive my 2nd dose on May 13 despite the initial effect. So ...
I would personally advise my own loved ones, that persons with similar health problems should be aware that their experiences can be more intense than others' but with long-term vaccination benefits that outweigh any risk at this present time. Do talk to your doctor about concerns, and decide together whether your case is an exception and not the rule. Regardless -- please be safe and protect yourself, and let's all do our part to try and help each other. | Symptoms: Body Ache, Soreness
