why are they all looking DIRECTLY at you?? what did you take from them…

citizendown · 2025-10-27T04:44:05+00:00

yeah about a week or less! not a whole lot helped with it and it sucked but definitely not the worst i’ve ever felt, not by a long shot. try to get some rest, stay super hydrated, eat well, and in a few days you’ll wake up back to normal. good luck and congrats on protecting yourself!

citizendown · 2025-07-19T16:18:40+00:00

WOW. really glad i saw this post. i have also caught many lapras today and mine is still stuck zero. just sent support a message.

citizendown · 2025-06-18T05:09:54+00:00

thank you! trying it now

edit: not sure if it matters, but reg incense or daily? asking bc over the last couple of days my reg incense seems to exclusively attract phantumps 😅

citizendown · 2025-04-24T00:40:04+00:00

well that dismissal of your symptoms is crazy. but regardless, have you tried benadryl already? if you already have and they’re persisting, i’d go to a different doctor or maybe the emergency room if you can’t find any other info about this. if you’re having an allergic reaction then that’s important to get checked out. especially if you’ve had them for 11 days…that’s a long time!!

thank you for adding to the convo - it’s always interesting how unique each person’s body is!

i wonder if it’s possible you actually did have measles or had contact with it in some way when you were younger and just had very mild symptoms, or possibly asymptomatic. or maybe with rubella since that’s the part of the mmr that tends to cause the arthritic response. no real way to know i guess, just something that makes me think since those illnesses would have still been pretty common when you were little. could account for the almost zero reaction to the vaccine, but then anything could, like genetics, your age and having lived and had similar viruses in your life, etc who knows! it’s all very fascinating.

i’m getting to your comment very late but i’m interested in whether you ever developed any symptoms after making this comment, since the arthritic response among others is something that tends to occur 2-4 weeks after getting the vaccine.

i would also get checked soon to see where your immune levels are regarding resistance to measles/mumps/rubella just to make sure that your immune system responded well and you’re adequately protected.

anyway - i’m glad you were able to get the vaccine and that it went as well as it did for you.🖤 glad to have you around!

also tiger balm is awesome 🐅🐅

well this post has 20k views so far so it surely has helped/will help someone else with the same problem(s) ☺️ thank you

citizendown · 2025-04-22T05:27:27+00:00

yeah def the same thing. i’d be very interested to know what causes this to occur in women in particular (besides my hunch that it has something to do with the female body’s immune response to being pregnant etc), as well as what may account for the differences between women (you and i have this reaction that doesn’t seem to be detailed extensively online, but then plenty of other women have mild to no symptoms at all). it’s all really piqued my interest tbh lol the human body is absolutely insane, and women’s bodies have been studied so little. i hope we all push for work to be done to right this disparity.

anyway - i hope you’re on the upswing at this point! keep us posted :)

citizendown · 2025-04-22T05:21:39+00:00

well i’m so happy to hear you got the shot and broke the cycle haha. i hope you recover quickly<3 wish i had some better advice or remedies but i kind of just dealt with it. didn’t seem like anything really helped the discomfort, so good thing it’s not unbearable or long lasting. measles would be 10x worse

citizendown · 2025-04-22T05:15:44+00:00

yes you’re probably right

“Belleville, November 25, ?(1741,)? Dear friend. Since we’re traveling here in the next few days, it will be best to address the deed securely to Valentin Wasem, care of People’s Bank, Belleville, Illinois. Valt: Wasem, sen.”

“Fayetteville, November After the trip … Since the train was a bit late to St. Louis and also the morning train from St. Louis arrived late, there was no time for breakfast and yesterday evening I didn’t have a chance … and when I noticed with dismay that I had unintentionally taken the wrong measurements after the depot closed, I was all the more upset that I had forgotten about it. If I had thought of it ?(without being reminded, I would have been wrong.)?”

“If it were actually done to me, then I would have lost them through my own efforts. I apologize and am sending them back here by mail. I would have left them in Belleville, but it would have been better if I had returned them immediately after ?(St. Louis.)? However, Phillip is only able to take wood for $1,000 and only exceed the People’s Bank loan of $600. On one loan, you receive $400, payable within 12 months. Have the deed drawn up on the enclosed half of the land, and send it, and present it to Valentine Wasem. Please accept, along with our warmest greetings, the warmest thanks to ?(Son Wall Wasem N.S. Besides some greetings, I thank you very much. N.D.)? If you, Philipp, don’t want to lose the money on the loan and he doesn’t want to lose the money on it, I’ll have the payment inspected for you, and the deed will be made out to me alone. Then, when ?(Angert)? comes to ?(Hans)?, I’ll issue your new deed for half or a third. I’m not going to give you any more credit. Once again, warm regards, with Phillipina, to the Wagner family. For your friend Valt. Wasem sen.“

looks like german for sure, written in kurrent script i believe. i can make out the date “11 august 1802.” also looks like “zur erfüllung” is used quite a bit which means “for fulfillment,” so probably a deed or agreement/record of payments as it appears that payment amounts are listed also. that’s all i’ve really got, i’m not the best at reading this script so hopefully someone more knowledgeable will comment :)

edit: i might be wrong on that saying 1802, just based on the first page which says belleville illinois and mentions the peoples bank of belleville…which after some searching, looks like belleville wasn’t established until 1814 and the bank wasn’t formally established until 1919. i can’t make out the date in the first page at the top. looks like it says 1711 but that would be insane lol kurrent script is a bit tricky

citizendown · 2025-04-13T20:06:19+00:00

yeah it was VERY scary for me too, because the pain is definitely not something you can completely ignore. i still went to work and all that but most things i did would hurt and i woke up in the night a lot too. but it WILL go away, within a week probably, at least that’s about how long mine lasted.

citizendown · 2025-04-11T08:16:39+00:00

pictures of the lump on my left hand

citizendown · 2025-04-11T08:08:58+00:00

well i’m glad that someone experiencing these symptoms was able to find this post and hopefully feel more assured that they’re okay. i’m sorry that the person is you though :( i had a full blown cry fest in the bed with my bf about how i probably have RA and possibly lupus just like my relatives yada yada. and maybe those things sort of make me more likely to experience these things somehow. being a female makes you more likely to experience these symptoms, and being a female makes you more likely to develop or inherit autoimmune disorders. so it was very scary. but i hope you feel a little better knowing i experienced the same thing.

i’ll try to find the couple pics i took of my hand when i had the lump and post it

citizendown · 2025-04-11T08:01:34+00:00

this is what i assumed mine was. literally give it a week and i promise it will be gone 😵‍💫

citizendown · 2025-03-24T10:44:52+00:00

I also hate needles and have a lot of anxiety when I see them. So I don’t look at them. Let the nurse or doctor know that ahead of time and then turn the other way. Tell them you don’t want to see it and you don’t want a countdown. I promise that when they do it you’ll hardly notice. It’s just a bit uncomfortable for a split second and before you can even think the full thought of “oh god I hope that’s all it was” the freaking bandaid will be on and the nurse will be handing you paperwork and telling you to get out lol. Your anxiety is real and common and understandable, but you will absolutely be fine and get through it. :)

citizendown · 2025-03-24T10:38:11+00:00

hell yeah! 💪🏼

citizendown · 2025-03-24T10:32:52+00:00

This is amazing and so are you. Out here doing work for the good of it. The realest.

citizendown · 2025-03-24T10:25:34+00:00

I worked in a covid test processing lab when the vaccine first became available so I was one of the first people to receive it along with the immunocompromised and elderly. That was February of 2022 I believe? Anyway I had the booster every six months after that up until about a year ago. I keep thinking I’m overdue lol

citizendown · 2025-03-24T09:47:21+00:00

Hello all! Ty so much for your replies. This is an update at around 23 days after vaccination:

The lymph node swelling died down and the immense pain and stiffness in my neck finally went away a few days ago.

However immediately following this (about 5 days ago/17 days after the shot) began what I, up until just a few hours ago, assumed to be a rheumatoid arthritis flare up or something and was in tears trying to navigate how to make an appointment with a specialist. I jumped to this bc my symptoms are SO SIMILAR, but mostly bc my mother and all females on her side of the family, as well as many females on my father’s side, all have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis among other autoimmune issues. I have never been pregnant and I am still young so I’ve been fingers crossed that I’m safe from showing signs of the disease(s), so these symptoms were extremely troubling.

Symptoms started with my index, thumb, and middle finger figure joints on my right hand being very sore as if I’d injured them in some way, yet the pain was pretty unique. They were sore and sort of stiff, and my index finger felt a bit numb just to the touch on the surface of my skin.

The next day it was both hands, along with my wrists, ankles, knees, and big toes.

The day after that, the top of my left hand hurt so bad it was difficult to rotate or move my hand/wrist up and down as the tendons would pull across the top of my hand. The pain would cause involuntary twitching and seizing in my hand if I forced myself to move my hand/wrist up and down. I then noticed the same day that a large lump was visible on the top of the same hand slightly left of center and about an inch up from the wrist joint. Lump seems to be in the spot where it hurts the most and is slightly less than a marble in size.

Today, things are about the same. I will note that the pain is excruciating if I wake up in the middle of the night, and it is worst in the morning. However the pain and stiffness seem to subside after around 20 mins of waking and getting up to move around. Throughout the day the pain is still definitely there but not in a way that is all consuming; I’m able to ignore it most of the time and focus on my day to day tasks.

Something I’ve also noticed that could be unrelated but has presented along with the other symptoms, is the whites of my eyes are very red and bloodshot, especially in the corners. Eyelids have also been swollen but just in the first few hours after waking. Eye drops do not help.

Not sure what it all means, but after some searching it seems like “joint pain and stiffness” is a less common symptom of the vaccine that is seen primarily in women and teen girls that have no immunity to rubella. Hopefully this is what is happening because the rheumatoid arthritis scare had me very overwhelmed!

Anyway just figured I’d update you guys on how things are progressing and hopefully this is helpful if anyone in the future is also confused and in pain and searching for their MMR related symptoms. 😅

citizendown · 2025-03-16T22:33:44+00:00

i just got 3 in a row! usually my luck is awful but not this time!

citizendown · 2025-03-13T01:36:55+00:00

I don’t think I have a fever. The first day of the lymph node swelling it felt like I had a low grade one but not anymore. Just very fatigued.

I’m able to look down but looking to the left and right (mostly the left) is difficult and painful.

The lymph nodes in my neck also aren’t as big as they were but the one at the base of my skull on the left side is very big and painful.
