The government did not have enough shots, so instead of the ideal time between shots of 3 weeks, they made it 8 weeks, in the hopes more supply would come online. I think after 8 weeks, then the efficacy of second shot goes downhill fast.I asked the pharmacist, did she get her 2nd shot, and the time span between them, and she said she got them 8 weeks apart. That is the government policy it seems. We do not read about it, it is word of mouth how we find out, lol.
The first shot, after that I felt kind of normal, but I could tell something was a little different. The body felt different.
Then about 3 to 5 days later, I felt sick, like I had the flu. No fever though. It was weird. Sometimes I felt tired, other times fine.
It was like they gave me an opiate at times. I was so clam, the brain was feeling good for some reason, like relaxed.
Sometimes I sweat at night sleeping, which was very odd.
Then I remember that day, about 10 days after all these on and off symptoms appeared. I was sitting right here in front this computer and sweating. It was not hot yet, and I was swearing.
Then suddenly, the strangest thing happened. It just stopped.
The sweating just stopped, just like that. It was like the body said, okay that is enough, stop sweating, and stopped. I felt it. I felt a twinge somewhere no pain, almost like a switch, and I thought, hey, I am not sweating anymore.
It was that weird. I thought I might have contracted Covid the past 10 days 2 months ago, but I think it probably was just that vaccine. It is kind of potent.
When we are sick, we get over it gradually, but this happened to me suddenly, the sweating stopped. Never came back either.
The internal organs feel tired at times. Hard to describe, but I think that is what feeling old feels like, the stamina is not there.
I was afraid to ride my bicycle long distances at first. Sometimes I would ride 40 km, but I was afraid and only did 25 km.
After the ride, the body felt like I was riding 25 km for a few days, that was how I felt. That's how I knew the body did not have the strength or stamina yet. I think it is going to be slow coming back.
What helped I felt was the vitamin D from the sunlight. After a long winter and then get some vitamin D from the sun, you feel a boost to the body. This time boost felt more, it felt better.
I try to see if I can get my stamina back by the end of summer. Hope I do.
