Strange how I got such a minimal reaction to the Pfizer - both times - and such an unpleasant reaction to the moderna - and I believe the moderna was only a half dose? - I'm telling myself that it means I can be reassured my body has really fought this one though so my blood must be full of lots of "good soldiers" this time?
Hope I'm not "going on" too much with this? But I'm finding the different reactions I've had to the two vaccines fascinating. and now I'm noticing another "indicator"
Ever since puberty I've had a reaction to viruses which manifests itself as I'm returning to good health, even a cold brings this out. "This" being a body rash. A common cold brings out a rash on both sides of my stomach. If it's a really "good one" the rash joins up round my tummy. This injection has brought out a rash which started last night and is currently not just joined up right round my abdomen but also up my sides and under my arms. It's also down the inside of my thighs! It normally ends up with roughly a day of excessive itching as my skin returns to normal - not looking forward to it this time as I recon it's going to be some itch! On the other hand I suppose it means my body really got to grips with the little invaders.
Colin, I just missed national service which I think was a disappointment to my family which had strong military connections. I'm unsure as to whether I've missed out as I greatly enjoyed my years in the ACF and loved the summer camps with the Artillery. Seems some people got a lot out of it and others hated it, suppose it depended, as with so many things, what you put into it?
