Fighting something off, for sure. Given the throbbing VERY specifically in my left arm where I got a COVID-19 vax last month (i mean, EXACTLY), I'm going to say it's probably COVID-19, lol (right deltoid not throbbing, that was the flu vax arm). (yeah, probably related to my issues earlier this week too). Last time I was testing negative, but don't have a newer test strip. (obviously, the vax has nothing to do with possibly catching COVID, just saying that arm seems to have better memory of "this virus needs you to launch an immune response, get with it!")

@carstenfranke Mild fatigue and occasional low grade fever at the moment. It did spur some BP issues a couple of days ago (mainly uncovering probably pre-existing issues).
@BakerRL75 Just mild fatigue and low grade fever, plus the wierd BP stuff earlier this week. Don't feel bad most of the time, just not my energetic self.
@ai6yr If you caught COVID-19 you probably breathed it in, not caught it from bumping into a doorway. Correlation does not prove causation.
@nazokiyoubinbou Oh no, I didn't get it from the vax, that was last month... just saying immune reaction from that arm indicates those cells may have better memory of "hey, this is an invader! White blood cell time!"
@ai6yr It doesn't work like that. More likely that area was just still not completely 100% healed from its previous immune response (our immune systems can actually cause damage along the way which is, ironically, one of the bigger dangers of catching COVID-19 for real,) but if that were the case it would merely indicate any sort of fever.
The moment you're vaccinated, unless they royally screwed up, it starts spreading through your system, not focusing in one specific spot the whole time. Your system's response should be systemic.
@ai6yr ow, hope the vaccine helps keep it a light infection.
