probably just myocarditis

Spoke way too soon on being 100% over vaccination. A few hours later some of it came back. What can best be described as burning aching chest pain, unrelated to eating anything, because it's also been screwing my appetite. I often haven't eaten anything. Heartburn seems unlikely but so does heart inflammation.

Upon looking it up, I find that is a rare side effect but what they mean by rare is dubious. They say 5% of people vaccinated by Pfizer experience fatigue. Meanwhile, almost everyone I've spoken too says they experienced 2nd dose fatigue. Almost 20% experience injection site soreness they say, but anecdotally, that's 100%. They also say loss of appetite isn't a known side-effect at all, but a common one is nausea, which makes no sense. I suppose I could try harder to force myself to eat and call it nausea.

Normally, I'm a trust the science sort of person, but in this case, I think the pharmaceutical companies are full of it. Who knows what they're obfuscating. I'm still experiencing symptoms though, four days later.

I'm not too worried, because it has been gradually getting better. I was able to do a full workout for the first time since vaccination, today. That should accelerate recovery. I've read that if it is something like myocarditis, it can last a week or so. I've also read that there's some evidence that it can be a consequence of getting vaccinated, having previously caught and overcome covid.

Aside from the loss of appetite and chest pain, I've also had major trouble sleeping every night, like my immune system is still revved up. I'm still feeling crappy from lack of food, lack of sleep. Maybe not handling the vaccine so well, after all.
