    WC3...after my 2nd Pfizer vaccine I felt great the day of. The next day I had fever, chills, etc. Felt awful for four days. Then I started feeling better but started getting horrible headaches on the fourth day (4/14) and still have them. Now I have an MRI scheduled to see if it's a brain tumor but it seems awfully coincidental that I got these severe headaches after the vaccine. I have gotten these same headaches on and off over the years. They are one-sided. I never received any medical treatment for them. I did have a head CT back in 2012 or so but it showed nothing. These are the same one-sided headaches I always got but daily and worse. My daughter does give me massages just below my skull where my neck starts and it has been helping tremendously. My doctor did say that if they do fully go away then the MRI won't be necessary. We'll see what happens.

    I think these vaccines are so new that we don't know the spectrum of all the side effects yet. I just found out that my niece got a full body rash 4 days after getting her first Covid vaccine. Her doctor feels it is definitely from the vaccine.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    I had the first Moderna shot a week ago. The day of, I had nausea and later was just really cold. My skin also felt kind of weird kind of sensitive, and as time went on I had some pinching nerve pain but nothing major. That lasted a couple of days, and taking ginger helped a bit. I had my Lupron shot a little over a week prior to having the vaccine, and sometimes my side effects last past a week for that so it's one of those things where I can't tell what's caused by what but the nausea for sure was very noticeable. I couldn't sleep either (was kind of looking forward to some extra sleep but no go until a few days in). Just kind of "off" for a few days. A little swelling under my arm and a week in, my lymph node has popped out on my collarbone on the injection side (this happens when I get the flu shot too). Joints are hurting extra today.

    Just noting too that I had a bad pain reaction to Taxotere, hand/foot syndrome, had to take extra steroids etc, so I double checked with my oncologist before getting the shot and she sad it was fine.

    Still getting headaches. It's now been 18 days with daily headaches. It feels exactly like occipital neuralgia. As I said previously, I have had these type of headaches on occasion for years, would usually last a day or two and that was it. Since the second Covid vaccine I have had them daily and at times excruciating. So MRI on Wednesday, here I come.

    As vaccines in our area are readily available, I'm not allowing visitors to my house who haven't gotten it. Including plumbers, cleaning people, book club members. When I go to dentist, I'm asking about their staff too. Given the drugs we take for MBC and related side effects we suffer to not die next month, I find it ridiculous that folks don't trust something millions of people have taken with minor consequences. And I choose to not be around them.

    Second shot done this past Thursday. Much stronger reaction this time (and also had my Lupron shot closer this time). Fine for a few hours but then the aches kicked in and by Thursday night I had chills, feverish, kind of queasy, generally felt like I had the flu. The headache also showed up over night and worsened as the day went on Friday. Had stomach issues too. Friday night was rough, fever broke sometime overnight, headache stayed a bit longer and now I just mostly feel like I've been put through the wringer.

    My underarm on the vaccine side is also swollen and hurting, and I have a lymph node popped out on my collarbone on that side too (happened last time and also happens during the flu shot but not usually this fast or this big).

    I wanted to let my immune system do its thing so I didn't take any tylenol/advil etc until I was over 40 hrs past the vaxx time and only then because the headache was bothering me so bad. I know a couple of people who just popped a couple of tylenol the day after and went to work, I can say I would not have been able to do that. If you have the option of taking a day after, I would recommend, to let your body rest !

    I got it as soon as I could!!! Definitely take time off to rest after. Even people w fully working immune systems need the time. My healthy husband had light fever for 2 days, my adult daughter had no reactions. I just stayed home for 2 days feeling grumpy and a little warm.
