(12,668 posts)13. I feel for you, Blue Dawn, this morning I read an obituary of a young man
He, too, died fighting drug addiction. I didn't know him but the write up was quite moving indicating that he was much loved and will be missed. He smile reached to his eyes in his picture. Addiction is a scourge, taking our loved ones before their time.
As to the Moderna blues, I was miserable for one day after the 2nd vaccination. Tylenol helped, I had no fever but was alternately hot and cold with generalized malaise. I am diabetic for 5 days I had problems with elevated blood glucose levels not responding properly to insulin. All better now, and I am glad I got vaccinated.
