Ouch! Glad to hear you’re feeling better. The side effects are not fun, but so much less risky than Covid itself. And yes, flu shots are next . . . Stay well, Patricia!

The booster shot was a different story. My joints and muscles flared as well as having a sore throat, headache and a low fever of 99. I’m not supposed to take NSAID ‘s due to GI issues but Tylenol is useless with that type of pain so I just popped Advil and chilled out in bed for a couple of days until the worst symptoms were over. So, I count myself as lucky that I’ve been able to get as much protection as possible. But the year isn’t over yet…….today I got a message from Duke telling me it’s time to schedule my annual flu shot!!!!! I’m starting to feel like a pin cushion.
