I take anti-inflamatory shots every 4 weeks. My doctor advised CDC has not put out any guidelines for any interactions with the COVID shots and I should continue any medications as prescribed.

Nobody really knows anything about anything about of this virus, good, bad, indifferent. Changes daily.

Whether it’s right or wrong about pain medicine, why would anyone want to take anything before they need it ???

[LucyP]

Took after I got home to help not before. Took second day just in case. Sore arm 3 days and felt fatigue.

So true. Better yet, think for yourself.

AARP mag says wait until 6 hours after because pain killers affect efficacy.

I often wonder. But, someone on Talk of the Villages using a pseudo-name told me-IT MUST BE TRUE.

Took mine last night at 5:30. No side effects. Took nothing. Arm was a little sore. The nurse there told me to put heat on it. I did that this morning and the soreness is almost gone. Did not apply heat with the first shot and the soreness lasted several days.

It's a shot, folks, just a shot.
It isn't unlike most other shots, be it a flu shot or whatever.
Stop complaining, stop the rhetoric and get on with your life as though it's any other day.

The "shot" is VERY MUCH unlike 'the flu shot or whatever". It is an mRNA shot. It literally causes your own cells (hijacks them) to create a protein. This protein in turn is supposed to cause an immune response. Whether or not the immune response is protective against COVID can be discussed and will be learned over time.

What is vastly different here is that the mRNA injection (NOT a vaccine.) Even if there is success in provoking some protection from COVID, this mRNA will persist FOREVER in your body and it will continue to make these proteins for which your body will continue to have an immune response. It can not be removed or negated.

This is the very definition of an auto-immune disease (think Lupus, HIV, etc).

You and millions of others are being duped about what you are being injected with. Please do not spout out what you know nothing about ... that this is "just like" the flu vaccine or other vaccines. It most surely is NOT.

A very probable outcome over some time will be hundreds of millions of people with auto-immune problems and subsequent deaths that may far out strip and COVID death count.

Depopulation (of the planet) anyone?

From the CDC (and peer reviewed):

A Closer Look at How COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Work

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give instructions for our cells to make a harmless piece of what is called the “spike protein.” The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19.

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are given in the upper arm muscle. Once the instructions (mRNA) are inside the immune cells, the cells use them to make the protein piece. After the protein piece is made, the cell breaks down the instructions and gets rid of them.

This is the very definition of an auto-immune disease (think Lupus, HIV, etc).

A very probable outcome over some time will be hundreds of millions of people with auto-immune problems and subsequent deaths that may far out strip and COVID death count.

Researchers have been studying and working with mRNA vaccines for decades. Interest has grown in these vaccines because they can be developed in a laboratory using readily available materials. This means the process can be standardized and scaled up, making vaccine development faster than traditional methods of making vaccines.

mRNA vaccines have been studied before for flu, Zika, rabies, and cytomegalovirus (CMV). As soon as the necessary information about the virus that causes COVID-19 was available, scientists began designing the mRNA instructions for cells to build the unique spike protein into an mRNA vaccine.

Future mRNA vaccine technology may allow for one vaccine to provide protection for multiple diseases, thus decreasing the number of shots needed for protection against common vaccine-preventable diseases.

Beyond vaccines, cancer research has used mRNA to trigger the immune system to target specific cancer cells.

Do not take it if you do not want to. It is your right. Just stop with the blatant lies.

Had my second shot this morning at Publix and pharmacist said to take Tylenol if necessary. Advises not to take Advil or Aleve as it might slow the efficacy of the vaccine.

Sounds as though you have expert advice from an MD with the CDC - your own daughter whom, I expect, you can trust! Why look further for crackpot info?

I get my second shot this afternoon. I do not plan to take any medication for any side effect. I plan to tough it out.

[stebooo]

What would it hurt. You would take it for a variety of other reasons. Would seem safe to me.

1) It's the CDC that is lying. They wrote "After the protein piece is made, the cell breaks down the instructions and gets rid of them." If that were true, Lupus and HIV would be eradicated. If you get this shot, you will OWN that mRNA for life.
"
2) If it's my right to not get the shot (it's not a vaccine), why are people espousing that everyone must get the shot or can't:
play golf
go bowling
go dancing
go swimming
go to work (employer can for the shot ... not a vaccine)
ride a train
get on an airplane
go to a ballgame or a concert
blah blah blah

I don't recall having to get a flu shot to do any of that. And the flu is deadly as well.
