Got my flu and covid shots yesterday, woke up this morning feeling like I got hit by a mack truck.The arm soreness isn't too bad, but the chills I could do without
Thinking about bringing a gravity blanket to the theater where I'm seeing YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING today. Anyone else have Nathan Fielder and Elizabeth Holmes on their agenda today?

@kims@mas.to This year I opted to have flu and covid shots a week apart, to see if it was the *combination* that was so debilitating. Result: flu shot was fine, no effect other than slightly sore arm. Covid shot was the hard one, as usual: exactly 12 hours later, chills and fever start, and you feel terrible for the next 12 hours. Very sore arm. So, I don't think it matters if you get both together; if you have a functioning immune system, the covid shot will trigger it big-time. Plan for a day off.
