It's sincerely SO quick I was surprised
Lea
Hell yes
skerple
yeah like as soon as I felt the needle he was already done
Lea
Yeah this is one of the shots where I've brought people to get it, distracted them while the shot was being administered, and by the time they looked back down it was done and they'd noticed absolutely nothing.
skerple
I for sure felt it but I am also ludicrously sensitive so
skerple
anyway so far so good, injection site is a lil burny as is to be expected, here's hoping it doesn't get too bad lmao

oh yeah you're probably gonna be sore like an absolute motherfucker later/tomorrow
Hamlet 3.3.87
trust me: the more you move thr arm, the less it will hurt
skerple
huh! opposite of what I would have expected
pastel ranma
Yeah I know a nurse who said similar, definitely just move your arm around every now and then to help it.
Lea
It keeps your muscles from stiffening up so much, I think?
pastel ranma
The explanation I got is it helps move your blood around so your white blood cells don't crowd around the injection site.
Lea
Ah, egg on my face!
pastel ranma
Honestly it's probably both xD

yeah, nurse who shot me said that it's the blood moving, and the more you can move it in the first 5 min the less you will hurt
Hamlet 3.3.87
and i trusted her and moved nonstop after shot2 and had NO soreness
Hamlet 3.3.87
so im trying to spread the word 
skerple
I will remember this!
skerple
next day update, arm is a normal amount of vaccine sore
skerple
uncomfortable to like, reach up for things, or otherwise flex that muscle, but like. that's it.
