Shots, and more shots [View all]

Got my annual flu shot on Monday.

Then yesterday I got a pneumonia shot and my second shingles shot.

Flu shot was fine. Didn’t hurt, no reaction. Yay.

The other two? I feel like shit. My arm hurts and I’m achy and exhausted. I’m pretty sure it’s not covid, though that’s flittering through my mind. And this will probably pass. But I feel awful. Stayed home today and napped part of the day. Still tired and achy.

Anyone else have this reaction to one or of these shots?
