While anti-vaxxers are ranting about a few cases of serious side effects, the mortuary workers in India are burning corpses in the parking lots because the crematoriums are either full or the ovens have melted.

I suspect my employer deliberately gives the second dose to employees on Fridays in case we get side effects so we can be ill during the weekends. All the other days there are only short lines outside the vaccination place. On Fridays the lines are loooong. Got my second dose yesterday and so did a lot of my co-workers. Some of us, including myself, were supposed to work this weekend, but now we're at home with a fever and a headache instead 🤣 In your face, Friday-vaccine-employer! It's like the flu without the sore throat. It's manageable.

I had both doses of the Moderna vaccine, the one that is supposed to have the worst symptoms. It wasn't bad at all. Yes, my arm was sore both times, but the second time, I asked to have the shot put in a little lower in the muscle, further away from my shoulder, and that seemed to help a ton. The first time, I had muscle and bursa pain because the injection site was so high up, but the second time, just muscle pain.

I had a pretty solid headache for a couple days after the first does. And I had a high fever after the second dose, almost 102, but it was short lived and I was completely back to normal in one day.

I hear that Moderna is working on new vaccines/boosters that specifically target the new variants. I look forward to getting those shots too.

I did do a little bit of research into the allergens in the vaccines and was disappointed by how difficult it was to find information. It was completely nonsensical to me that so many sources were saying not to take the vaccine if you were allergic to any of its allergenic ingredients, but then not listing any of those ingredients. But I eventually did find more detailed information. Gluten was not a concern in the vaccines that were available to me.

I'm not going to judge people who are afraid of vaccines. I know that there are genetic differences that make some people more likely to overreact to perceived threats. They can't help it. But I do recommend that, if you fear you might be part of this group, that you recognize that there are times that an abundance of caution can actually have the opposite effect. Not getting a vaccine because you fear some temporary reactions, and then succumbing to covid, would be a tragedy.

Absolutely not will I be taking a unvetted vaccine that has the potential for lifelong illness and/or death for a common virus with a 99.9% life expectancy.

Hoping you are well since it’s been awhile since your post. Wondering if you’ve been keeping up with all of the new info on the vaccine. It will be a very interesting year of info for all. I hope everyone that took it will be fine but I also hope in light of all the new information coming out people won’t be so quick to be mean to those that chose not to take it.

Good words, Lyrica.

      @MegRCxx, it is common for people with celiac disease to have other food intolerances as well. Most common offenders are oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy. Soy, eggs and corn are less common but not rare. So, factor into your consideration.

      Thank you @Scott Adams!! I will definitely have a read through these! If anyone is curious to what i had eaten and am worried about it was the tescos finest frozen bourginoun and creamy mash, only allergen stated was milk but it does contain yeast extract which i am aware can be a bit of an odd one. Once again thank you 🙏🏻

      The short answer is that it would be good for you to learn more about how to read labels, but sticking to looking for "gluten-free" on packaged foods is a great place to start. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    If you have some time for a good read, here is chapter 1 of a full book published on Celiac.com that deals with the social aspects of celiac disease:

      I have recently started a gluten free diet (waiting for confirmation via endoscope biopsies) I had started to reduce after the biopsy and then had a McDonald’s which confirmed to me my suspicions so decided to go full gluten whilst on holiday as i wanted to enjoy myself, since being back i have noticed that i have got increasingly more anxious due to feeling sick when i had accidentally eaten some on holiday. And not im reading labels worrying if everything doesnt state is gluten free but the ingredients look like they check out may still have gluten in.  Im panicking myself making myself feel worse and seem to be at a bit of a loss, i dont know anyone else with coeliac disease and am finding it all quite overwhelming. any advice is greatly appreciated:)

      We've done some articles on this over the years: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=colleges&quick=1&type=cms_records2 You might also check College Confidential or Reddit’s r/Celiac for firsthand student experiences. Some schools, like the University of Arizona and Oregon State, are known for their allergy-friendly dining halls—calling their nutrition services directly can give you specifics. If you’re touring campuses, ask about dedicated prep spaces, ingredient labeling, and student support groups. A guide focused solely on this would be so useful—maybe someone here has found one?
