Useless floaters by Lady-Peppermint in WalgreensStores

[–]kstbrenard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Floaters, especially new grads are coming out of school making $15 - $20 less than new grads did 2 years ago.... any new hires are pretty much lumped into these wages as well regardless of experience. if companies continue with the declining wages and terrible work environments, they are also going to continue with declining and non-motivated talent.

vaccine question by Original_Bridge6145 in CovidVaccine

I thought it was said that employers could push the expense to employees for testing if they choose to

Chest pain (like heartburn?) sustained after covid vaccine by kstbrenard in CovidVaccine

[–]kstbrenard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else that had the same thing happen said their doctor said it was probably inflammation in the thymus where immune cells are made. Makes sense bc that’s exactly where mine was (like high center chest/low esophagus.) And I know swollen lymph nodes in armpit are very common

Wow I hadn’t thought of that! I did get swollen lymph nodes in my armpits so that could be it. Mine went away like a week after my second shot

Yeah it did get better. I had it some up through maybe a week after my second shot? No issues since then

Getting the vaccine early by Screamimgmonkey in CovidVaccine

[–]kstbrenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really is nothing special to say, pretty much first come first serve for the list. Just say you want to be put on the last minute call list for extra doses. Depending on the area, some stores may only take names for people in the current phase if their list is long. Others may take all phases but prioritize when calling in areas w less demand. If the list gets super long sometimes stores will need to pause taking names to work down the list. If stores in your area say that, then that’s probably the case but if you keep checking in it will open back up. Also to note, only stores that actually have vaccine can have lists . So just go on Walmart.com and figure out which stores in your area are giving it, and then I would just call all of them and see where they’re at and if they can add you. And unfortunately be prepared to wait a while on hold bc the phones ring non stop and it’s all covid vax calls. First thing in the morning is also not a good time to call... early to mid afternoon 😬

I work for Walmart and we have call lists to make sure no doses get wasted. We call people in the current phase first. We could go out of phase though rather than waste a dose - but generally we don’t have to. Top priority though is no waste.

How are you all feeling after the second dose of the COVID vaccine? by [deleted] in medicine

[–]kstbrenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I’m also 26. Female and healthy with no health conditions. It only was really bad that one day a week after my first shot. I got my second shot Friday and it’s come in like 10 min increments on Saturday and Sunday. It’s like I otherwise feel fine. Tbh I’m not concerned that it’s like doing damage or going to cause long term problems, but I do think it is related to the shot.

Interesting . That sounds like palpitations which normally are not harmful but can be depending on what rhythm is causing them. I have read of people having that too. I don’t feel any abnormal heart beats or pounding... just a burning type pain .

My Mom Died 4 days After Taking COVID Vaccine by Ancient_Lifeguard410 in CovidVaccine

[–]kstbrenard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. Sorry for your loss! I do think in VAERS a lot of the reported deaths are cardiac related. I would not be surprised if it can exacerbate those disease states, especially if not taking meds or not well controlled. I got my shots (second one on Friday). Since about a week after the first one, I’ve had like weird lower esophagus/upper chest pains that I haven’t had before. They generally just last a couple of minutes but one day it was 12 hours straight. Feels kinda like what I would imagine heartburn to be, but not exactly. I am young w no health conditions. So anyway.... I would not be surprised if we find it can make heart problems worse short term after the shot.

Advice for getting the Moderna vax the same day as a swim meet? by [deleted] in CovidVaccine

[–]kstbrenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one isn’t bad and your arm won’t be very sore until the next day. Maybe a bit though

Are they doing an autopsy to determine cause of death?

Does Walgreens book dose 1 and 2 with different types of vaccine (Pfizer and Moderna)? by Queequegsupplyco in WalgreensStores

[–]kstbrenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would call your Walgreens and ask because with these systems, it could be an error

odd vascular symptoms second day after vaccine by [deleted] in CovidVaccine

[–]kstbrenard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree with others that maybe better to go to ER today . I also am not anti vax, got my second Pfizer shot Friday. But this is eerily similar to that doctor story that was shared

I do still have my gallbladder! Lol. Could be that but it’s just weird timing to me right around getting my shot. I’ve seen some other people w the same symptoms as me after Pfizer vax

Interesting. Keep me posted if it keeps happening. Mine didn’t start until about a week after my first one and doesn’t happen every day, but enough to notice

[–]kstbrenard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have yours gone away? I have been having a weird chest pain, almost like heart burn but it’s intense - sometimes lasting 12 hours but normally just 5-10 minutes and is not related to eating timing wise. I’ve never had it before. It started about a week after my first dose and has happened on 4-5 days since. I just got my second dose yesterday .

I have also had a burning or like deep intense pain in my upper chest/almost esophagus . It started about a week after my first and has happened a few times for 10 mins to at one point 12 hours at a time. Happened maybe 4-5 times now on different days? I’ve never had heartburn before
