    Shit. It’s a booster. Just not the one you wanted.

    Stay well man. Positive healing vibes sent your way.

    Maybe you got omicron so you can have that out of the way? If not, well, that sucks

    Thank you!

    With XMas on the horizon, you'd think people would be familiar with the letter Xi, but no. We've got too many illiterate malakas.

    That too.

    Since I'm posting, Xi and Chi are distinct Greek letters. Used them both in engineer school. For what, I don't remember. Xi is the squiggly one. We pronounced it "Zai," rhymes with pie (and pi). I remember that much. And there were no Chinese emperors back then.

    To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues

    Got boosted this afternoon. Will be interesting to see how it goes tomorrow. Was asked by a mid-level marketing person right before I left for my appt to reschedule the booster (yeah…. No).

    Wife is getting hers tomorrow afternoon (hopefully, I’ll feel good by then). Twins getting dose #2 on Saturday while I’m at work at the hill. Hopefully, my wife will feel good then.

    I'm preparing for some attacks here:

    I'm an athlete that trains and races at a fairly high level these days and I'm kinda getting freaked about getting the booster. Scheduled for over a week from now. I had Pfizers back in March.

    I don't have an answer for you, but IMO the question would be what was your reaction to the first two? I haven't had the booster yet either, but for me the first Moderna was a nothing burger except for a sore arm, and the second was like a bad hangover. I don't race anymore, but if I did, I'd probably be fine with a week buffer.

    The first shot absolutely wrecked me. Like 10 days of sweats, feeling like shit, insane dreams, body aches the whole thing. Some say that kind of reaction from the first shot meant I already had it.....which I believe cause I got super fucking sick (and a coworker also did and ended up in the hospital) in Jan 2020 "When there is no way we could have had Covid" after working in the house of a bunch of sick Americans who had been living abroad and came to MT for the holidays.

    The second shot was 3 days. The fatigue was like a month. Despite training/racing and feeling overall OK all this year I have also felt pretty "off" ever since the vaccines from time to time.

    IDK

    All the shit about those vaccinated athletes with heart problems now kinda has me freaked.

    Are you concerned about myocarditis?

    You might want to read up on the possible long-term cardiac effects of actual Covid. Not an issue, perhaps, if you're socially isolating yourself to protect your elite-level aerobic capacity, but otherwise worth considering.

    My bit of anecdotal: Finally 2.5 years out from a broken fib, I'm running more than ever, and my running times are the best they've been in at least a half a decade, I'd say utterly irrelevant to the two Moderna shots I had last Spring. Granted, how the Covid vax might affect someone with, say, a 33 minute 10K time, I'm not in a position to speculate about.


    I do get that some people have done rather badly with the vax (though certainly not as chilling as some stories about people with Covid); my wife spent the better (worse) part of a week suffering through at least one of her Moderna shots. And I know that's the kind of thing that can punch a hole in a serious training schedule. Weigh your options I guess. Personally, Covid scares me more.

    To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-am-...ce-11634849777

    “Dr. Waxman was senior investigator on a study published in the medical journal Chest in August which found that patients who have recovered from Covid but had no heart or lung disease had markedly reduced aerobic capacity during invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing, compared with controls. The problem was associated with impaired regulation of blood flow and an inability to use oxygen efficiently, causing patients to feel fatigue, shortness of breath and lightheadedness, and to hyperventilate during exercise.

    Dr. Waxman says the researchers believe that the Covid-19 virus triggers an autoimmune response that causes damage to the small nerve fibers that regulate blood vessels. These fibers also regulate other functions in the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems.”

    Here’s the journal article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8354807/
    “Persistent Exertional Intolerance After COVID-19”
    “Interpretation

    Patients who have recovered from COVID-19 without cardiopulmonary disease [they had “mild” symptoms] demonstrate a marked reduction in peak VO2 [compared to a control group] from a peripheral rather than a central cardiac limit, along with an exaggerated hyperventilatory response during exercise.”

    You think you probably had COVID because of your reaction to the first dose of Moderna's vaccine. If that's the case, I would also attribute your athletic performance issues to having COVID and not the vaccine.
    Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

    I had the Pfizer shots not Moderna.

    I will probably do a new VO2 max test this winter with my coach and I am sure my numbers have improved. I had a kick ass season. Sometimes my chest hurts randomly. I went to the Dr about it over the summer and he did an ekg and bloodword and said everything looks fine. More than likely I am just being psychosomatic (not sure if that's the correct use of that word) since I heard all this crap about athletes having heart problems from covid and/or vaccines.

    Pretty sure I'm gonna get my booster. I have to fly to the east coast for Xmas and besides my mom everyone else at any of the xmas stuff will be unvaccinated.

    So you’re worried about getting the booster but you’re going to Christmas on the east coast with a bunch of unvaccinated people and will probably get the booster?

    Your doctor said everything is fine, you had a great season but something is off? It’s pretty normal to feel some fatigue after a long hard cycling season. Do you suffer from anxiety?
