Starting the following morning (10/15), I started experiencing a fever of just over 101, extensive arm pain at the site of the injection including the top half of that arm, headache, muscle pains and fatigue. We checked with the pharmacy who said these reactions were normal, but that if they worsened to go to Urgent Care/ER. 10/16, I was still feverish with all the symptoms but they started to lessen throughout the day. By the end of the day my fever was down to 100. The following day 10/17, I was fever free but nauseous and had a headache all day. The site of the injection hurts less, but the point of the injection has become swollen and itchy- it is about the size of a baseball. I've been itchy all day but no rash. By the day's end I had hives on the back of my neck and upper back. Called the pharmacist again who said that although hives are not a common reaction, I did not need to go to the ER/Emergency Room unless I experienced difficulty breathing. They suggested Benadryl which did help resolve the hives. 10/18 Headache is still present but less. Left armis still painful, injection site is still swollen and itchy. Hives are present on my stomach. Called Pharmacy again who said I could take Benadryl a couple times a day and if not getting better by Monday, should consult with my doctor and that I may want to talk to them about what to do regarding the second injection.
