My Covid Vaccination Experience

Hi everyone, It's Maanvi and today I am going to be sharing with you guys my covid vaccination experience. I recently got fully vaccinated and wanted to share with you guys how the whole experience was so it can help you if you plan on getting it. Now, Let's begin!

Dose 1

I am going to be sharing with you how I felt after I got my 1rst dose. After I got it my hand was hurting for 2-5 minutes, and then the pain went away. Throughout the day my hand would suddenly hurt. It mainly started to hurt whenever I lifted my arm. I tried to avoid lifting it because then it wouldn't hurt. For the first dose, I didn't have a huge reaction like falling sick, instead, my hand would just hurt if I lifted it. I had mentally prepared myself if I had a huge reaction but I ended up not having a big reaction. I thought I wouldn't have a big reaction for the second dose too but I was wrong.

Dose 2

The second dose was way worse than I expected. I got my second dose and felt the same way I had felt when I got the first dose (after I got it my hand was hurting for 2-5 minutes, and then the pain went away). Since I felt the same way I wasn't mentally prepared like I should have been for what would happen next. I felt the same way I had felt when I got the first dose for the rest of the day (throughout the day my hand would suddenly hurt. It mainly started to hurt whenever I lifted my arm). That night I went to sleep and then at 4 am I woke up because I was shivering. My whole body was warm but I was shivering. I got up and went to go wake up my mom. First, she checked my forehead to see if I have a fever. Then she gave me an extra blanket because I was shivering. I slept until 8 am and then woke up. My mom checked my temperature to see if I had a fever. My temperature was 38° Celsius which equals 100° Fahrenheit. After doing a little research we learned that shivering was one of the side effects. I was sick the whole day and mostly slept. And then the next day I recovered and didn't have a fever anymore. I didn't have a fever but the next day my arm was still hurting and I had a really bad headache. I had also found out that headaches are one of the side effects. The headache and arm pain lasted for 2 days, and then they finally went away. I didn't take Tylenol, but I drank a lot of water and they eventually went away. Here are some things I did to make my fever go away...

1. Drinking a lot of water ( At least 2 bottles a day )

2. Taking a Tylenol tablet ( I took half of a Tylenol tablet)

3. Sleeping

Those are the things I did to make my fever go away. All of them really impacted how soon my fever would go away.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Be waiting for another post!
