The second was like a short flu. Relief is what comes more than anything. Good luck to you.

Stay hydrated. I chose to drink water and then switch to Gatorade zero and then back to the water throughout the day. Only effects were the dull headache and being sleepy on the second day. I exercised the arm that received the injection so pain was practically zero.
