Just got my vaccine.

[starkvegasdawg]

Only been 5 minutes. So far my pecker has only grown about 3". Hoping to get the other 4" by tonight.

[parabrave]

Hey My PSA went from 6+ to 3 in 2 weeks. I'm serious.

[Extendedcab]

Is that a side effect or an intended benefit? I don't remember seeing this benefit in the news!***

[Hambone]

Mine is scheduled for this upcoming Tuesday. Me and my wife both hope these “growth” rumors are true!

[Dawgology]

Omg...does it decrease the size? It?s be nice to get down to something more manageable. It?s my cross to carry I guess, though.

[parabrave]

remember it's not how big it i it's if you know how to use it.

[starkvegasdawg]

That's the Moderna vaccine. I got the Pfizer.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Pfizer developed Viagra.... if Pfizer can raise the dead, surely they can save the living.

Well, first morning post vaccine. My arm is sore and I can turn off the light switch from across the room now.

Just a heads up. I've got the Covid a little over a week after vaccine. So do 17 others I know got vaccine. Same thing happen to my sister. Really odd situation as I've not left home since the shot.

Did you get Pfzier or Moderna? My sisinlaw got a positive when she was participating in the trials. 2 days later she was negative. How is your sis as you stated earlier she had other issues.

[Cooterpoot]

All got Moderna. Sister had a light case. Everyone has been light but about half have had really painful mouth/tongue sores. Basically a really bad sinus infection with fever, headache, & tiredness. We all got together in a group online and discussed. We're convinced it's some type of vaccine side effect because we all started showing minor symptoms within a day of getting it, before it gets worse about a week later. Most but not all got the vaccine at the same location.
We are now at 22 of us in this group. Only those that live together have come in contact with one another.
I've been living like a damn hermit due to health issues. Would be almost impossible for me to contract Covid.

The same thing happened to my friend in Vicksburg. Got the first shot on a Thursday, tested positive the following Monday. I don't know which shot he got but it is whatever they are giving to healthcare workers.

[Cooterpoot]

And there's no virus in the vaccine, so you can't catch it from the vaccine. So don't avoid the vaccine. Just know there could be side effects.

Assuming this stuff stays light, I'm scheduled for round two on Feb. 19th. I will be getting it. My sister took the 2nd dose while she had Covid. Her Dr waived the wait. She had no issues with the 2nd dose.

I hope it stays light and you are able to get your second dose. I finally got an appointment for February 3rd at Trustmark Park. I really stayed on the computer this past Monday morning and kept refreshing until finally the MSDH posted some appointments for Trustmark Park. If I hadn't been persistent , I would never have gotten an appointment. It showed over 150 available, when I selected mine and it had only one day available, and two different times to choose from. Right after I had completed the form, and got my approval there were no appointments available.

[parabrave]

FYI if you are really interested in getting a shot call at the end of the day or show up at the vaccine site. There are always no shows and they will be looking for people to give the shot to since they have to use it. Every afternoon at 4 the nurse at the VA I go to cases the waiting rooms looking for someone to give a shot because of a No Show.

[Cooterpoot]

Call your local hospitals and health dept too. That's how I got mine. I called the hospital, and they assigned me a day/time.
So far mine is still light. Ready for the sinus shit to stop but I broke fever last night finally. Taking Zyrtec, zinc, vit c, vit d, antibiotic, aspirin with the wife who now has it as well (she's been vaccinated and missed her 2nd dose yesterday due to positive test). Hospital told her she might not be able to get 2nd dose now.

[Joebob]

I've only got 135,000 people ahead of me here in my county in Texas :(

[RocketDawg]

Alabama finally is going to open for 65-74 folks, and I think those 16 and over with qualifying conditions (diabetes, etc.) starting February 8. I signed up locally online today, so I should be able to get it within the next couple of months. They said it would probably be weeks before they called to schedule. But at least I'm signed up.

[preachermatt83]

Got my first dose today

[DownwardDawg]

Got my first dose today

Good deal!! Get my 2nd shot on February 9th.
I'm glad to see so many are taking it. Everyone talks about how sick they are of this pandemic but everyone I know says they won't get the vaccine. Crazy. Most people I know don't take the flu vaccine either. My daughter thinks it's the devil and she's had the flu at least 3 times that I can remember. I had the flu when I was 21. Been taking the vaccine ever since.

[starkvegasdawg]

Just read a congressman has tested positive for Covid about two weeks after his second shot.

[Dawgfan77]

Question. So if the one shot Flue vaccine in around 35-40% effective why can't we get most people to take a one shot covid vaccine? In other words the one shot is more effective than the flue

[starkvegasdawg]

Question. So if the one shot Flue vaccine in around 35-40% effective why can't we get most people to take a one shot covid vaccine? In other words the one shot is more effective than the flue

Because of all the fear mongering that has occurred on both sides of the issue. There has been so much misinformation on everything Covid people dint know what to believe and are scared. The anti vaccine crowd saying it changes your DNA and has a tracking chip in it. The anti Trump crowd says they don't trust anything developed during his admin. Then you got Fauci who changes his mind every five minutes on recommendations saying even after you had both shots you still need to wear a mask and social distance because we don't know how well it will work in the real world. People hear that and ask what's the point.

[Cooterpoot]

Question. So if the one shot Flue vaccine in around 35-40% effective why can't we get most people to take a one shot covid vaccine? In other words the one shot is more effective than the flue

Because Covid is spread so easily and we need to beat it back. The flu is not Covid.
All these conspiracy fools and uneducated people declining it don't care either way.

[Dawgfan77]

You missed my point. Wasn't comparing flue to covid. Was comparing effectiveness. If one flue shot with 35-40% effective is for the flue vaccine why isn't one covid shot that 55-65% effective. Not comparing flue to covid

[Percho]

Yessir. I’m just ready for life to be back to normal.

In a few months there will be several one-shots that hit the market.

[Joebob]

Just read a congressman has tested positive for Covid about two weeks after his second shot.

What people need to understand is that after you get a vaccine, you can/will still technically get Covid again if you're exposed. If the vaccine is 75% "effective", it means that your symptoms will be reduced by 75%. So if you get a mild infection and the symptoms are reduced by 75%, you won't even notice. The question yet to be determined is how infectious are you at that time. Researchers think your viral load will be greatly reduced (in vaccinated people) but they don't know for dead sure. That's why they want people to still wear a mask even after they're vaccinated, until the whole country is vaccinated.

FYI, the term "efficacy" is a completely different term that only applies to people in the study. It doesn't necessarily mean much in the real world.

[Joebob]

What if, the power that be, never declare normalcy?

They will, because their economic tax base is taking a hit from all this.

[preachermatt83]

But you are comparing. The flu isn't as deadly or spread as easily. We're a hundred years since the introduction of it too. We've been able to beat it back. 33% for Covid is pretty useless other than possibly easy up the symptoms. But that's not going to touch the spread. Got to stop the spread to get control of it.

I'm sorry we just aren't on the same page. Not trying to argue just wanted to know why we can't get 70% vaccinated with one shot that 80% effective I guess was my question.

[Medic601]

I?ve had both shots and had no issues. I got the Moderna through work with nothing more than a sore arm. I am in the medical field and have spoken with pretty much every co worker and others in the medical field and the most anyone has reported is arm pain, slight fatigue, and low grade fever for about 12 hours - which is common with any vaccine. No ones dong grew either, despite the rumors... which I am rather pissed about.

[Cooterpoot]

I wouldn't wish this shit on anybody. It's kicking my ass right now. The fever and headache is relentless. Nausea is really bad too.

[Dawgfan77]

Very sorry to hear that. We all hope you get better

[Liverpooldawg]

I got my second shot this morning, just a sore arm so far. It is worse than with the first one though. I never felt that one till the next day.

Did they start you on the Plasma therapy. Can't remember the name of it but Gulfport is using it and they are having good success with it if you get it in time.

The second shot was worse than the first one. Fever and pretty bad aching joints overnight. I'm some better today but feel like I'm recovering from the flu. Most of the people I know who have had this reaction say it's gone after about 24 hours. It's still way better than having the actual disease.

[Cooterpoot]

Looks like I'm headed to the hospital. I'm down 10 LBs since last week. Can't eat anything without throwing up. Have had fever for 11 straight days. It's kicking my ass right now. Prayers please.

I've got pneumonia. My oxygen levels are still in the normal range. Was given steroids and one of the unproven antivirals, Ivermectin, along with fluids and nausea meds. I ate for the first time in days (still can't smell or taste). I guess I feel ok right now. Hopefully the pneumonia stays mild and my body can clear it.
I didn't meet the criteria for antibodies. Too young and not obese enough. My underlying conditions aren't diabetes etc. I tried to argue but they apparently have a specific list.

They released a bunch of appointments in Bexar county a couple of weeks ago and I was able to make appointments for 10 people. (neighbors, family, even X-wife) Two of them live in Comal county. The only info required was name, Birthday, and phone number.

If you're close sign up for www.universityhealthsystem.com alerts. They send out text and emails when they're opening up new appointments. They've been getting ~10,200 first doses each week.

You can do the same for Bexar County/San Antonio mass site.

I go back for my booster Feb 23rd. Every person I’ve spoken with at this moment has been knocked on their ass for a day. I’m taking mine before heading in to work, could be a rough couple days

Cooter....keep bugging them for plasma. I?m in healthcare. Multiple reports from patients who improved immediately after receiving plasma.

Hospitalizations are down in MS. Great news

My neighbor is an Cov ICU nurse on the Coast. One thing they are doing is once you are positive they start a new treatment on you ASAP to help stave off you getting worse. I don't know the name of the drug, it starts with an M, but Oschners and one of the hospitals on the Coast are doing it. The idea is to treat early before it gets into your chest. And it's really cutting down on ICU admittance. Of course if you are Stage 4 lung cancer ot a real bad heart condition not much can be done for you.

[parabrave]

Hey Coot how you doing. Got my second shot 24 hours ago, 3pm. Just a little stiffness now, Took 2 Ibiees and ice pack all night.

Still around. Got a mild case of pneumonia and nausea is so bad I struggle to eat. Down 12 LBs so far. Coughing up a bunch of lung gravy.
Taking Vit D, zinc, pepsid, & Zyrtec. When fever comes around, take ibuprofen. Oxygen levels have been steady around 96.

I would be a 248 lb LB now if I weren't so old and slow. BTW, shot didn't hurt with just a little soreness in arm/shoulder. Dr son-in-law says swelled up arm, soreness, droopy, and low fever after 2nd shot, but ibuprofen and a good night's sleep and he was fine. Stay safe. Hail State!
