Did the Covid shot make you cranky?

[Molalla1]

I've had both shots (Pfiser) for awhile . . . 1st shot arm was a little sore, and I mean very little . . . second shot nothing.

After I got mine my phone shows 5 bars reception

For the first shot (Pfizer) I had a very sore arm and felt a little off the next day. Waiting for shot #2 now.

I'm relieved that it's actually happening and maybe if enough people get it, we can get back to sort of normal later this year.

My wife told me to be well hydrated before and after the injection and to rub it. I combined those steps with spinning my arm like half of a propeller when it began to get sore and it didn't get any worse.

Wife had sore arm and brief flu like reaction.
I had 0 reactions whatsoever.

How did the sickness present itself?

Infected from my wife when she was a frontline medical worker. She wore scrubs, a face shield, glasses, gloves, and two masks but still got it.

If you can smell through your mask, it isn’t working. Olfactory particles are giants compared to Covid viruses.

Wife and I have had both shots for over a month now. I asked her if I was more cranky after the shots, she said I've had about the same amount of crankiness for the 41 years we've been together. I think I'll just let the subject drop!

Why do you care?


sorry, couldn't resist.

Nope. No irritability.

That's OK Moss urges like that come over me too.

This is the second time I've been in a really bad mood after a medical procedure and I needed to know whether to be on guard before another one. Bad moods can lead to bad actions and I have troubles enough already.

^ Now having to do THAT would make me cranky!

Well, at least you recognize it. That's good.

When I had COVID, I just wanted to sleep all the time. Head felt like I was under water too long, with stuffed up ears and sinuses for about 5-7 days. Got really tired doing anything. That was in Nov/Dec. Took about 3-4 weeks to feel like myself again. When I got the shots last month, the first one, I was fine for 12 hours, then felt like I had COVID again for about 12 hours, then was back to fine again. 2nd shot I had no effects other than a bit lethargic the next day. Sore arm at the shot location though, both times, for about 2-3 days.

Almost no one I know had the same symptoms as the next person for both. COVID and/or the shots. It really isn't a cookie cutter illness. My wife had COVID at the same time I did, and just last week she said things no longer smell like cigarettes. That was 4 months before things started smelling better to her.

Good luck with your symptoms. Most people I've spoken with had different reactions to 1st and 2nd shots, so you'll probably be fine 2nd time.

Thanks Moss. Being cranky was the worst symptom I had and I got over it before challenging anybody to a gunfight so, I'm good.

Boy! That would be one H*LL of a defense. "I got my COVID shot and just felt like I had to go out and shoot somebody". Hmmmmm....... I wonder-----------
