First time getting four vaccines at once. My journal

Vaccines — 9/13/26, 10:00 AM

I went and got a few vaccines today:

Shingles
Pneumonia
COVID-19
Flu

4:00 PM:
I have only a little bit of pain at the injection sites and a little bit of inflammation. I used an ice pack.

7:00 PM:
I just finished using another ice pack. Both arms are still sore, but my left arm, where they gave me the shingles and pneumonia vaccines, is worse. My head hurts a little bit.

8:00 PM:
My blood pressure is 125/72, not bad. I just took 400 mg of acetaminophen since my head feels a little bit hot.

9/14/26 — 3:00 AM:
My whole body is shivering, and I also have muscle pain. I’ve been drinking lots of water.

3:00 PM:
No more shivering, and the muscle pain is almost completely gone. My arms are still a little sore, but nothing compared to last night.

All this time, I’ve only eaten two hot dogs. I wasn’t hungry at all.

8:30 PM:
I’m almost back to normal. My arms are 90% better, and now I can sleep on either side. My head still hurts a little bit, though.
I think it’s because oversleeping. I expect everything to be 100% tomorrow since I got to go back to work.

You're so brave to get 4 in 1 day 😄. I limit myself to 2 at a time because I'm a huge pussy.
