My experience with the Covid-19 Moderna Vaccine

I thought I'd write down my experience with the Covid-19 Moderna vaccine as a fairly healthy 26 year old. 

I experienced mild side effects. I had a very sore arm, which was to be expected. I also suffered a headache, and was just generally tired throughout the day. My symptoms lasted about 3 days. I figured the 2nd dose would be more of the same. Boy was I wrong.

I received my second dose yesterday at around noon. I did not feel the vaccine going in, but within 10 minutes, my arm was already sore, and I had developed a headache. I was in decent condition the rest of the day, until around 9:00 PM. I typically am a night owl and don't go to sleep until much later, but I was exhausted. I tried to sleep, but I could not for the life of me fall asleep. I started shivering and realized that I was freezing, despite it being very warm in my room. I made the trek from my bedroom to my living room to turn the heat up and grab more blankets, and that was a journey. Every part of my body was sore. I felt like I had been hit by a car. I have never experienced body pain like this before. It took me about 5 minutes to make my way back to my bed, because my movement was so much slower than normal. After tossing and turning for about an hour and a half, I finally managed to fall asleep for a few hours. I woke up at around 2:30 AM dripping with sweat. The chills that I had earlier were replaced by sheer warmth. I couldn't kick the blankets off fast enough. I was unable to fall back asleep, so I just layed in bed and contemplated my life and existence. How can one vaccine cause this severe of a reaction in somebody young and healthy? I dunno, but I fell back asleep until around 6:00 AM. Once I woke up, I texted my boss and told her that there was no possible way I would be able to come into work. My body pain was still severe, and my headache was reaching the migraine status of pain. I took some ibuprofen and forced down a granola bar. I ended up falling back asleep until around noon. 

It's currently 3 PM, and I still have very bad body aches, with a raging headache. I am both hot and cold. 

I keep telling myself that this vaccine is worth it, but holy shit guys. It is ROUGH. The majority of people I have spoken with have all had similar reactions to the second vaccine. I've seen a couple of cases where the lucky individual did not experience reactions like this. 

Have any of you all gotten the vaccine? Please share your experience with me! I'd love to hear about it.
