I take a Claritin in the morning of the day I get my shot. After the shot I drink 32 ounces of electrolyte enhanced water (I use Relyte) over the next 30 to 45 minutes. I also take two Tylenol at that time. I try to stay hydrated for the rest of the day.

Over the course of the next few days, I have some mild soreness in my arms where I had the shots. I also experience some joint pain for up to a week afterwards which dissipates over the next week or so.
