Drew-Yep. Got it last Friday. I had Johnson & Johnson the first time, and the Pfizer Booster. I was really nervous about mixing. But it was completely fine. Had some mild fatigue the next day and a mildly sore arm. I was completely fine by the next day.
I'm so glad to hear that it went completely fine! :) some people don't seem to have very bad symptoms, so I think that's wonderful that you did so well with it. By the way, I realize I replied like a week late to your post, so I'm sorry about that. š
I hope the covid shot and booster shot went well for you Lms526! I think you're really strong for going through with getting the booster shot even though you were really scared! You stuck to what you felt like was right for you and didn't back down! That's an accomplishment in my opinion! :) And Catlove9, I understand how you feel about vaccines, I got the flu vaccine 4 times as a kid, and 3 out of those 4 times I got the flu REALLY bad, to the point that I almost had to go to the hospital at least 1 of those times. But all the years I didn't get the flu vaccine I was perfectly fine. So, because of that I decided I have no interest in getting anymore vaccines, if they're just going to make me more sick, what's the point? With all of that being said though, I'm just one person, and when it comes down to it the reason I probably get really sick from vaccines is because I think I have a weak immune system. But everyone is different and the covid vaccine has honestly helped a lot of people, but it's also had some bad effects and cases for some people too. The important thing though is that you know your body and if you think it would be right for you. If vaccines typically don't do you any harm and help you and you're comfortable with the vaccine on all other levels too (religious, work related, how other people look at it, etc.) then maybe you should get it, but only if you're comfortable with it. No one can force you to get it, so don't let anyone put pressure on you to get it. Also don't put pressure on yourself either, just be honest with yourself about it. :) I hope you both have a wonderful day! God bless! :)
Hi! I know this is a super old thread some Iām not sure if you will see this, but on the off chance you do, how did you get through the original vaccines? This experience has also been traumatic for me because I am having intrusive thoughts about the vaccine killing me. I got the first dose and am scheduled for the second later this month but the intrusive thoughts are even worse this time around. Any tips? Thank you
So I'll be getting my covid vaccine within the next few weeks. This is hard for me because I'm terrified of side effects of literally everything, and I know that when I get it I'll be so anxious and worried that something bad will happen. I'm still going to get it, because not getting it would not only be avoidance, but it's also just a risk I have to take, as many others have. Anyone else struggle with side effects of things who have gotten the vaccine? How did you handle it?
Getting vaccinated Saturday or supposed to. Parents kinda did for me and told me I have to do it to keep living with them. I am now starting to feel the anxiety creep in on it. I don't really want it but I know it's the right thing to do.
I was supposed to get my second COVID vaccine this weekend that I had been putting off for a while due to horrible anxiety. I ended up getting the stomach flu so I have to postpone it againā¦ In the meantime I have been spiraling about getting the shot. My thoughts are constantly āyou are going to die. You are going to get heart inflammation. Itās documented that people have died from it and you will be one of themā it literally feels like getting it will be the end of my life. I have spent the past few days crying all day long about how it will be the end for me. I feel like I canāt handle getting it and knowing that I could be about to get a potentially deadly side effect. Does anyone have any advice? Iāve ceased all compulsions like googling, etc but even setting a new appointment sends me into doomsday panic. Iām leaving on my honeymoon in a month and I donāt know what to do. Thank you for any help you can give.
