As of late, I've been on a FB group for people who have a gene mutation called MTHFR. I tend to have another word for this gene and it's not a nice one as it was a part of my infertility issues for many years. In any case, this gene and it's variant decreases my levels of folate and increases levels of homocysteine in my blood. In a nutshell, while I was pregnant I would create golf ball like blood clots and experience miscarriages. I spent most of my pregnancy on blood thinners and all kinds of other meds to keep myself and my daughter alive and healthy. So you can imagine my apprehensiveness after reading that my body may not be able to detox the toxins from the vaccines and I will likely encounter adverse side effects.
To add more anxiety to my already worried self, when I take any kind of prescription medication, I tend to experience most of the side effects. Hence, my fear of injecting or ingesting something foreign into my body.
So, last week I was fortunate enough to make not one but two appointments for the vaccines Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson. My brother and father live overseas in a part of the world that has become a hotspot for a new variant and I want to see them. Essentially, vaccine = visit family.
Well, the day after I confirmed the appointment, I got cold feet and decided to cancel the Pfizer at CVS and then reached out to Publix to try and cancel J&J. I say try because Publix did not have a system in place to cancel. So, on Sunday I headed to my appointment armed with my husband and daughter as my support. I would take it as a sign if my name was still on the list, I would toughen up and take the shot.
Well....I won't sugar coat my experience other than complementing Publix on spacing out appointments so there was no line and little waiting time. They were completely professional, although I think they could have performed more vaccinations if they had additional staff just handling vaccines. But that is a different conversation.
How did it go for me?
I am happy to announce that on Monday, March 15th it was International Napping Day so I made the best out of my situation and did nap all day.
I have to say that after I felt back to normal, I did feel a sense of security knowing that I was more protected then I was two days prior. I knew I wanted the one shot Johnson & Johnson as two shots would really put me over the edge and there isn’t enough Trusted Nutrients Ashwagandha to calm me down. However, I have asked friends who have taken both Pfizer and Moderna and everyone is different. My in-laws, my aunt and many friends have had the Pfizer shots and no negative experience. Others have some symptoms, mainly pain at the site and a little tired after the second shot.
I am hopeful that if we all do our part we can help curtail this horrible virus that has taken so many lives. I am now a carrying CDC vaccine card holder; however, I’ll continue to mask up, wash hands and spray everyone including myself with my concoction of water, alcohol, eucalyptus, camphor and tea tree. Stay alert.
