I have not been well this past week. I had to work late on Tuesday, which is no doubt part of the reason why I felt quite ill (deep fatigue) in the afternoon and evening on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. If that should happen this coming Friday, then I will wait until Saturday, March 13 to open the stores back up.
I have concluded that the first dose of the Moderna vaccine that I received on February 22 caused a significant disruption to my endocrine system. I stated previously that I thought that the vaccine had caused a mild to moderate autoimmune flare. The flare was at least moderate and perhaps a strong flare. The deep fatigue that I have begun to feel is a delayed reaction to that flare. How I feel at any given time is a reflection of what my thyroid hormone levels were 10 to 14 days ago. This actually means that the symptoms from the flare may not have bottomed out yet. I was vaccinated 12 days ago.
My endocrine system might have already recovered, but I might not feel that recovery for another week. I will get the second Moderna dose in around 2 1/2 weeks, the exact date to be determined. That will cause another disruption to my endocrine system. The next six to eight weeks won't be easy.
Even with the reaction, the vaccine is well worth it. I am happy that my body should be now approaching 50% immunity to the virus.
