Hello @kzee64, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad reaction from your first Moderna vaccine but it is really good news that you are back to your normal with you 2015 diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy and autonomic dysfunction. It's also good to hear after reporting the symptoms from the first shot that the doctor called you back and you reported your symptoms to VAERS.

Now that you have made a decision to stay with family after your second Moderna shot, can you let us know if you have the same or similar symptoms after you receive the second shot?

Hello @johnbishop, I will post again as soon as I'm recovered from my second dose which I'm getting tomorrow. I'm feeling very nervous tonight, but trying to keep a positive outlook. Thank you for your comments.

@johnbishop , Hello, I'm day 4 since receiving my 2nd dose of Moderna. I'm happy to report that I'm doing well. I did stay with a family member out of precaution as recommended by my doctor due to the serious side effects I experienced after my first Moderna shot.
I developed a bad headache 5 hours after my shot. I woke up next morning okay, a very bad headache, muscle aches, and developed a fever in the afternoon that went to 101 and of course my arm was sore. I did take Tylenol which helped the fever but not the headache.
Today I'm feeling much better, back home, a mild headache, no fever. Only thing I've noticed is some disorientation and mild difficulty with walking. I'm so relieved that I didn't experience the same reaction as my 1st dose!
I'm very happy now that I'm fully vaccinated, however I will continue to self isolate and wear my N95 mask any time I'm in the public. I was a back office medical assistant for over 20 years. I'm used to wearing a mask, so it's not a problem for me. My hope is for anyone that can to get the vaccine and stay safe!
