Oct 2023

A couple of weeks ago. I usually don’t have much of a reaction when I get vaxxed but the afternoon after, I hit a wall. Felt so tired and chilled and had a headache. I was fine the day after. Got the RSV this past Monday and was doing fine til Tuesday afternoon. I felt awful. Headache, chills like I had a fever, my joints hurt, muscle aches and so tired. Went to bed early and felt fine the next day. It’s worth it to have the protection.
