I’ve had both pfizer vaccines. The first one gave me a sore arm and fatigue. The fatigue was better by the next afternoon but my arm stayed sore for several days.
I just had the second one Friday the 16th at 1:30pm. Within 30 minutes of having it I started having side effects. First was diarrhea and nausea with fatigue. By Friday night the diarrhea had stopped and by Saturday morning early I had vomiting, severe fatigue, joint and muscle aches, fever just under 101, general feeling of not feeling well.
I stayed in bed all of Saturday except to run to the bathroom. Every sip of anything I tried to drink came directly back up. So I couldn’t even get tylenol to stay in for the aches and fever. Saturday was just awful.
By Saturday night into early Sunday the aches were very light and I was able to keep small sips of water only down. I finally got some tylenol to stay down and that helped the fever and the rest of the aches.
I tried to eat a little bit on Sunday and was able to keep a half a sandwich down but it made me nauseated. Still only being able to sip on water and a very small amount of ginger ale. Still had some fatigue.
This morning Monday I’m much better but still nauseated when I try to eat or drink. I called my Dr and they said to eat light stuff like soup, crackers, toast and to drink light soda or water for a couple days. They said the nausea and vomiting isn’t experienced by many but the few that have it lasted several days. They don’t want to give me any meds for it as long as I’m able to keep liquid down. I am to call them back tomorrow if I still haven’t been able to keep any light food down or call anytime if I start vomiting again.
I just wanted to share my experience in case anyone was wondering what people’s side effects are. I think I remembered everything but as I said Saturday was pretty rough and the most I remember of it is sleeping and just feeling awful.
