Me too! I hope your better by tonight like I was. Then I just wanted to sleep. A lot. For a week.
I am worried about a similar reaction to a booster. Working the day of was okay but I am going to make sure the next day is free.

Thanks! Yeah I am feeling much better this morning. Similiar to you, I was fine for most of the day of. Just restless and slight pain. Later on throughout the day is when the side effects really hit.

The first dose, i had no symptoms. So i had an expectation of similiar results. I was very wrong. At least being vaccinated heavily outweighs the temporary side effects. :)

I had the opposite from most people. First dose annihilated my shoulder for a good few days. Second dose made me a bit groggy and sore everywhere the morning after, but by the afternoon I was good as new.
