That is great and I'm feeling better about the second and the end of March, love that you and others share as we all go through this together...

I Will post my experience as well when getting my second Moderna,..
 
I had my first vaccination 28 days ago, no issues at all. I had my second on Saturday March 06. Seem to go well, that evening I was having signs that the arm was going to get sore (shot in Left). Got up on Sunday Morning and my right hand and arm was in considerable pain. I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in the thumb and carpal tunnel in both hands earlier, but the surgeon suggested that I hold off having surgery until Covid settled a bit and it was safer for a stay in the hospital. I do a lot of historic and vehicle restoration and I tried to work with my hands all day. It was very tough. In fact even the forearm and hand once raised to a certain point would yield considerable pain in the forearm. SO was all this increase in pain the result of the aches and pains that some have had with the N0.2 Vaccination or carpal tunnel dramatically increasing its strangle hold on me. I don't know. I do know it is very hard to function. I did text my surgeon and she has responded and sent me a series of questions to answer. I have a zoom consultation tomorrow with her, so I will let you know if this is the after affects of the vaccination settling in a weaken area or carpal tunnel deciding it time to make me just a little more uncormfortable.

Not sure if that is a cause or not, I also have arthritis in my lower spine, the pain is off the scale, when this is over plan to see if this procedure can be performed for collapse disc.

No idea what arthritis is, my first experience with it. Not taking anything for it, my main issue is heart failure. It would be great to hear what a doctor has to say or anyone else. Not sure if anyone not afflicted would know.

Either way, for myself at least not ready to regret the decision and plan to get the vaccine in the arm as before.

The primary reason for the vaccine is my condition that has me in and out of the hospital often and with so many infections just trying to avoid additional complications.

My goal is to just be comfortable.
Thank you
 
My husband and I got appointments tomorrow at a local pharmacy for our first shots of the Moderna vaccine. I tried CVS and they wouldn't even let us register since we aren't 65. I am 63 and husband is 64. I called this local pharmacy and they said they give it to people over 65 first but if they have extra they give it to people under 65. We could register on their web page. They called today. I think it might be because no one thinks of places like this since they do not have the name recognition of CVS.

I think it’s the vaccine. My torn hip also hurt much more as did that whole leg. I just took it as it was the vaccine cause my arm hurt so much down into my hand as well. I am all better today and back to my normal variety of painful conditions. 😂

PS I would be careful about having back surgery. I’ve had two surgeries at L4/5 and am still in wicked pain and have to get spinal shots. The worst complication of Those shots was my adrenal gland failed which is why I have Addison disease, which is why I went into Addison crisis, which is why I have to take daily prednisone to stay alive. 😂.

Like the old nursery rhyme-for want of the shoe the horse was lost. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you for the heads up....I have been on a calcium and glucosamine kick thinking that would have helped, think I overdid and I notice the pain in my back let up a bit when I skipped some.

Loved fairy tale growing up...
 
Haven't got an appointment yet.
When at the drugstore this morning i inquired......have heard of some that have had their shots here in town, at our Shamrock Recreation building.
When i was at my doctor appointment March 22......was told, have to drive an hour away for it.
Don't have to now...great.
Was told i'm eligible for the vaccine now.....was given a release form and # to call to set up an appointment for here in town.....probably too late for this month's dates.....maybe get in for May.
Will either be the Pfizer or Mederma.

It opens up in CA on April 15th. Regardless of age, every California adult I know who's tried hard to get a vaccine has gotten one - no lying necessary.

Some have driven to the next county or gone to vaccine venues that passed the word they have extras, others lurked at vaccination sites near closing time, hoping for - and scoring - extra vaccines. Starting early March vaccines became easier to find.
 
They are now vaccinating and testing for COVID-19 at Walgreens. It makes it very hard to get your prescriptions as the lines are long and they don’t separate them. You have to wait while they interview the people for the vaccines. I can’t stand for long.

The testing for Covid is done through the outside pick up line so that takes forever as well. Whine 😂

So all employees drop everything to service COVID-19 tests? That's ridiculous. Here, one employee will do the test while the others tend the shop. But waiting in queues is unnecessary because we have to book a time for it. This is quickly done on the internet. So theoretically, no queue at all. We can do the test ourselves if we want. Ramming that Q-tip thingy down your throat and then up your nose is very uncomfortable but it's no more difficult than having someone else do it for you.

As I said the Covid test is done through the drive through, not through the store. The vaccinations are done at the store pharmacy. I have no ideal if they have appointments, but they stand in the same line as those picking up prescriptions, and takes a while to do their paperwork.

I needed to pick up an antibiotic, ordered by the dentist barely before my appointment , and take it exactly one hour before I saw the dentist. I barely was able to get the prescription in time due to the line of people filling out paperwork.
