Summary
Creek 68680 dated fatigue and depression to 2021, when a Moderna booster was followed four days later by flu and pneumonia shots, and felt very bad for about 18 months. In 2022 lower abdominal cramps with a vaso-vagal blood pressure drop on standing cleared within three days of dicyclomine. By 2024 they advised spacing vaccines at least 30 days apart.
