Well, I had the 2nd Pfizer shot last Saturday [o4/24] and except for the same slight headache/eyestrain I had driving back home from the first shot, I haven't noticed any side effects. That's good, of course, but I can't help but wonder if this is because I had the virus before either of the shots and have 'acquired resistance'.

I have been sicker than a dog four times since Dec '19, the first time the worst, lasting ~8 days, with diminishing symptoms. The other three were not as bad and only lasted 2-3 days. None of the symptoms matched what CDC initially posted; now with the expanded symptom list, they all match.

I'm interested in getting the antibody blood test to see if I have actually already had exposure and gotten over it, but there doesn't seem to be any sign-up list for that.

Edit: Several labs will test me, from $69 [Quest] to $149...
