Sunday, 4 September 2022 14:15I'm alive!
Got my fourth shot on Friday evening, 4pm-ish. Now thinking back to my third shot, any reactions I had was punctually 24 hours after the shot. This time though, it was pretty much immediate. The injection site itched like mad, and for some reason my wrist hurt like hell. But then it was around noon of the following day, less than 24 hours, that I started to feel the fever creeping in.
I don't know. Sometimes, I think I don't get sick enough. I mean. I AM sick, I have a fever running, but my brain is like, sharp and active. Whereas so many other people get a papercut and it's like the end of the world.... I researched why my joints were in so much pain, specifically my left wrist. And I've come to this conclusion: when you have a fever, you have more white blood cells to attack the inflammation. My joints are mostly inflammed anyway, so the ankel pain, knee pain, all that was pretty much expected, but the left wrist... I did say the other week I think I hurt it during yoga? And I hadn't yet gone back to the chiropracter to fix it? That's why it was so much in pain, it was unbelievable.
And I also think I know why the reaction came a little sooner than the 24 hours like the previoius time. I've started taking a supplement (forgot the name right now) that helps boost metabolism, so maybe that's why?
Being stuck in bed wasn't fun, I can tell you. IG is not what IG used to be, it's like IG is rying to be Tiktok, Facebook too, with all the reels... and Youtube too, what with Youtube shorts. Yes, instead of sleeping it off, i went lurking at all these platforms. And well, I also got to play the sick card and so I'm home, not going to the Obligatory Family Sunday Lunch *rolls eyes* I'm not playing hookie, the headache is still hanging around. It was bad enough this morning that I actually took a paracematol for that, but the headache just isn't budging. So I bailed and said I'd stay home.
This is another wasted weekend as I haven't done anything worthwhile, but it's ok. I don't have any plan Bs, just hopefully I'll be able to do something the next weekend again.
