MTRJ75 Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Considering getting my booster next week. Second Moderna was back in May and it lit my nervous system on fire for a good month or so. My question is if anyone who struggled a little bit with their second shot and has since gotten a booster has done better and not struggled as much with the booster. The problem is, I'm not reading a lot of stories where the second shot was a struggle, but the booster was okay. I have read some rough second shots and even rougher boosters. I really don't know what to do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Yes I had symptoms with first and second shot but none that I could tell with the booster. It might be better to rely on data than one off stories. Another thing to keep in mind with the booster is that it’s usually only half a dose. Best wishes on your decision.

MikeO Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 I never had an issue with the Covid shot outside of feeling a bit warm the next morning and a little sore arm. The Tdap shot i just had recently was much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would I get such data? I don't suppose anyone has a database of booster reactions to people who struggled with the second shot.

mehaller Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Had episodic POTS symptoms prior to second Moderna. Been downhill ever since. The transistion was dramatic, e.g. within days after the initial reactoin to the shot, e.g. aches and short term fever. Constant postural lightheadedness and thirst, heat intolerance, what I thought were gastro-induced chest pains etc ensued with a vengeance. I'm lucky to remain on my feet for ten minutes - sit, or fall. I recover well with leg crunches abdominal contraction/flex. My primary and specialists all look away when I bring it up. Silence. Again, I did have monthly and modest symptoms prior to Jab II that I wrote off to my late sixth decade. Neuro in November conditionally agreed that it's POTS, pending more tests, now Covid delayed...again...and again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Still not seeing what I was hoping for about boosters after bad reactions to second shots though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
