I just got my 4 year old vaccinated with Moderna Covid-19 Bivalent Vaccine for 3-5 year olds (dark pink cap). I was really nervous about the whole process. I looked up the common side effects and when I saw they could be as simple as a headache or upset stomach, I felt relieved. The nurse was super helpful and told me to expect a sore arm at the injection site, which was true. There was also some redness, but it was gone in a day or so. The only other thing my kid complained about was a fever and chills but it only lasted a few hours. I have to say, it was way less scary than the media makes it out to be. Has anyone else's kids had different side effects? I want to hear others' experiences!

I was recently prescribed Retacrit 2000unit Inj, 1ml to help boost my red blood cell count, which has been low due to chronic kidney disease. It's been a rough transition so far. I'm curious to hear from others who have used this medication - especially those who have dealt with the side effects of nausea or headaches. What were your experiences? How did you manage the side effects? How did you feel before and after starting the treatment? I've heard the injection site can be irritated, has anyone else had this issue? Did you find any supplements or other treatments helpful in conjunction with Retacrit? What kind of improvement in energy and breath did you find? I'm looking for some solidarity on this!
