No lifting, hard to focus, tired earlier than usual, etc.

It’s been a week and I am just now feeling better. To be fair I also had some trouble sleeping due to allergies and a sore throat, but I thought I would share that the 3rd covid booster (I got Moderna) was a kick in the balls.

To be clear - the benefits are great - the numbers show that a fully vaccinated person is far less likely to get severe covid symptoms (like only 5-10% as someone unvaccinated) and half as likely to develop long covid. Please get vaccinated.

Also, I want to be clear that the weather is shifting dramatically where I live, I have allergies, and I’ve been going through a lot emotionally (coming out of my shell) all of which contribute to me not feeling physically great.

    Haven’t had trouble with Moderna yet, on my 4th booster so far. I have had trouble with vaccines in the past, so my strategy is 30min before the shot to take an anti inflammatory pain killer of some kind, ibuprofen if I have it and can. Then eating extra healthy for a few days and avoiding fatty or generally unhealthy meals as well. It seems to help me at least, then extra spicy on food if I can.
