Third booster yesterday (Moderna). I feel like I’ve been thrown off a speeding truck onto a gravel road. 28 hours now, and still sick, sore, dizzy and feeling like I have the real flu. This is considerably worse than the second booster (the first had no reaction at all).

This morning every joint I have was hurting – my hands felt like someone had worked them over with a ball-peen hammer. Things have eased some, but I’m still eschewing pain relievers as I understood they could interfere with the total effect. I figure as long as I’m miserable, I should gain as much as possible from the experience.
