I had heard the same thing. I had The Moderna. I had a mild headache after the first one, and felt a bit tired. After the second one, less of a headache and a bit tired again. Both times, I had soreness at the injection site, which is to be expected. I was pleasantly surprised that my reactions were so mild.

Thrombocytopenia can be a complication of COVID, for anyone, If you are already prone to the condition, you are certainly at a higher risk to develop it, if you get COVID. It’s simply common sense. Do check with your Physician, about your concerns. Perhaps you should be moved up in line, for receiving the vaccine.

Agree with Doreen! Posting less often is not a good decision! You need this place now, more than ever. This is a place for honestly sharing whatever is going on, in your journey, on any given day: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Please reassess your decision about posting. You will have a better chance at a successful quit, if you stay aboard the train……

Totally agree with @jillar! It takes guts to admit you blew it…..(pun intended). MLMR is being real, and telling a story which could be any of ours. I had 6 years, and lit up. It happens to a lot of us. Nicotine is highly addictive, and can pull you back in, with little warning. No judgement from me, but rather a heartfelt “Welcome back! You can do this!”

I totally get what happened. I relapsed after a 6 year quit, and smoked steadily for 6 more. Give yourself some credit for stopping again, so soon after you relapsed. The one Thing I never did, after my first quit, was seek help, from a place like this. I thought I was fine on my own. I am hopeful this is my forever quit, so will stick close to this group, and call out for help, if tempted to light up. Thanks for your brutal honesty, welcome back, and stay close. We are here for you. KAT

If you really do have a headache, take 400- 600 mg. Ibuprofen every 6 hours. It is a better alternative than Acetaminophen, for both headache and fever. So glad both you and your wife got vaccinated. Though some people are worried about side effects of the vaccine, I believe the potential benefit outweighs any risk, especially since I am in a high risk group, because of my age and preexisting heart condition.

That WILL get ugly. It would be a real problem here, in the States, too. My youngest son, who serves in the USAF, and I, have been talking about the possibility of the government mandating the vaccine. So far, they won’t even do it, for the military, for fear enlistment would drop drastically. Ian’s division have all voluntarily been vaccinated, as they are musicians, who come in contact with the public. Ian waited until he could get the J and J vaccine, rather than an RNA based one, as he believes it is less likely to do him any permanent harm. 3 of my 4 kids chose the J and J vaccine, for that same reason. There are so many conspiracy theories around the vaccine, that we could be in real trouble, if the government finds it necessary to order any Americans to be vaccinated. There is already controversy brewing over the need to show your “ COVID Passport” in various situations. We are living in unprecedented times….

What date was your 1st one? The protocol is: Moderna: exactly 4 weeks between shots, and Pfizer:: exactly 3 weeks.

I know “they” say flying is safe now, but I have never liked flying, on a good day, and have really been fretting about flying cross country, in just a few weeks. So, my boyfriend suggested we take a month to 6 weeks and drive, instead of fly, and stop in and see everyone we miss, and visit places we have never seen, along the way. I love road trips, and since we just did a three week one in March, and had a great time, I jumped at his offer. We are even taking Barney with us. I hate giving in to my fears, but I am looking at it, in a more positive light. It will be a trip of a lifetime. We have a brand new SUV, so a perfect vehicle for such a long trip.
