So I had heard. I worried all day, and went in for the shots at 4:00. Shot in the arm (first dose of the vaccine) was nearly painless. I thought, "that wasn't so bad". Then the doc brought out this needle the size of a toothpick, and 4 inches long. I kid you not; this thing was huge. That was the one to go into my hand.
12 ml, which is a lot. About 4/10 of a shot glass, or almost 3/4 cubic inches. In the back of the hand. The stuff was cold and thick, and it felt like liquid fire going in. I clenched my teeth, and said I was okay, and he did it again. And a third time. About this time I experienced a "Vasovagal attack" which is a fancy way of saying I nearly passed out from the pain.
Trust me when I say that these hurt like hell. I've had severe kidney stones, and while they are certainly no picnic, I never passed out from the pain.
Computer is almost back to normal, and as soon as the swelling goes down I'll finish those caps.
