A shameless plug from a father...
HAM Friends -
Please forgive this shameless plug, and do not feel obligated to do anything, but you know a father will do anything he can to help out his kids...
My 6 year old son is in his first year of Cub Scouts, and they are doing a fundraiser selling popcorn and accepting donations to support Scouting activities.? He's not had a lot of luck in our neighborhood, likely a combination of being one of the youngest and the number of other school and activity fundraisers going on right now, so I'm spreading the word in my circles to help with his efforts.? ?If you find yourself craving some popcorn or sweets, or just want to support an awesome boy embarking on Scouting adventures, you can see his online fundraising page at .? A copy of a flyer we put together is also attached.
Thanks everyone!

Re: Addendum - [W7DXXREMOTE] Totally Off Topic - but - FYI
Thanks for all the public and private responses to my original post - in a way, it's nice (but not really nice) to know I was not the only one that had that type of reaction.
It's the vaccination gift that keeps giving - last night I had extreme insomnia and when I finally did get to sleep, woke up an hour later with a "night sweat" - and - that happened again after a nap later in the day - otherwise, a pretty good "normal" day - hoping to actually get a good night's sleep tonight - gadzooks - the upside is that I'm "boosted" and I'll take that:)

Hi All
This post relates to my experience with the 3rd COVID (Booster) shot.
Please feel free to stop reading and return to your normal
broadcasting;)
Yesterday (Tuesday Sept
7) I received my 3rd shot of the Moderna Vaccine at about 10 am.? Yes,
being in the "vulnerable"? group, this was right on schedule.
The
Moderna shot was administered at a large CVS on Peachtree St here in Atlanta and it went
very smoothly.? My two previous shots were also of the Moderna vaccine
and also went without a hitch - a little "latent" soreness at the
injection site but no following reaction or symptoms - a "walk in the
park."
Not this time!? Most of the day was uneventful. I'm thinking it's another walk in the park - but around 8pm I started to crash.?
I don't know how to describe the reaction(s) but it "kicked my ass" big
time - I can't remember ever being this sick - and throughout the night
I experienced some of the following:
all
pretty much at the same time - or at least what I can remember :(
-? Severe headache - behind my eyes, temples, down the back of the neck and into the shoulders
-? Severe? muscle and joint pain and aches all over my body.
-? Severe chills and shivering.
-? The feeling of being "hot"? but without an abnormal temperature - mine usually runs about 97.6 and that is what I measured.
-? Totally "stuffed up" with some breathing difficulty - like you had a really bad cold that included your lungs.
-? Bloating or "fullness" in the stomach but no nauseousness.
-? Dizziness to
the point of not being able to get out of bed or walk without hanging
on to something - extreme "unbalance" and some "spaciness."
-? An elevated pounding heart-rate - running over 110 bpm all night and sometimes spiking at 125 bpm - - today, at about 8pm
- after slowly declining all day - this has pretty much returned to normal which for me is about 60 bpm +- when resting.
I
actually went to sleep at about 8 am this morning? and
finally
got out of bed around 4:30 pm.? At? 4:30 I was feeling much better -
almost all the symptoms were gone except for a mild lingering headache
which I still have.? I can tell you that if what I experienced is even
somewhat what it is like to actually have a real case of COVID,? it is
totally unbelievably devastating - you really don't want to get this!
It's now almost 9 pm and I'm pretty much back to my normal self :))
TAKEAWAY
Remember - I got the Moderna shot(s) and everyone will have different physical reactions regardless of the vaccine provider.
BUT -
if, or rather when, you are going to get the "booster" shot be sure to
schedule it when you have nothing pressing or even on the calendar for
the next day or two - just in case you have a reaction like I did - and I sincerely hope you do not!

Re: Totally Off Topic - but - FYI
Thanks for the summary Don.? My XYL had the similar symptoms after her 2nd Moderna shot.? I had no effects after taking the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.? Of course our 15 year old son had no symptoms after 2 Pfizer shots.

Re: Totally Off Topic - but - FYI
Your side effects are somewhat extreme but you're covered. Moderna is like a nuclear power?mRNA vaccine?over Pfizer.

Re: Totally Off Topic - but - FYI
I have read that Moderna decided on a much more potent dose than Pfizer.? Not sure why, it was a technical decision.? In any case Don you should now be really safe...They say that the 3rd shot gives the ultimate in protection.? As a scientist, I am glad to see that you have been fully vaccinated but sorry for the side effects...And yes if you had actually contracted COVID it would have been worse.

Re: Totally Off Topic - but - FYI
Don,
The immunization is working as it is supposed to. I had a similar experience after the second Moderna. I have to wait for the third for another 10 days or so, though I am the caretaker of someone who is severely medically immunocompromised. She got Moderna #3 two days ago with no reaction, at this time.
Should you have any other reactions, please contact your health care provider.
