Got 11th COVID jab, today.

Also TDAP and Hep-B were overdue ...and also taken care of.

Tech was going to put bandaids on each of the three injection sites, but noted, "oh, you're not bleeding at all". I tend not to bleed more than a drop or two at any injection site.

One of the down sides of an #autoimmuneDisease is that the #COVID jab's provocation of an immune response means that, when that response kicks in, it brings a surge of your autoimmune disease's symptoms with it. For me, since my disease is a soft-tissue #arthritis, that means body-wide pain starting 12-24 hours after the injection and lasting 18-36 hours.

All of which is to say, "ouch" since about 0330 this morning. Also means I didn't get much sleep and the sleep I got was light, poor and of short duration.

That my disease is treated (slowed down) with an immune suppressant means I need to keep up to date with immunizations.

I had the original strain of COVID back in spring of 2020. it was three weeks of hell where I kept wondering if I was going to have to join the lines at the ER and wondering whether the high doses of fever controlling meds were going to destroy my liver.

So, yeah. Today was a day of complete uselessness from me. And, while I napped off and on throughout the day, it was low quality. So much so that I'm already in bed and it's just barely 2200.

Great thing about inflammatory reactions? I could probably identify each tendon in my body, right now. I can feel the entire lengths of my hamstrings.
