Monkeypox
- Thread starter Mr.Arroz
- Start date
I was reading this earlier and I honestly don't know how to feel. On one hand, it's potentially good news that it likely won't spread as much as we feared among kids when they go back to school. On the other hand, it allows the media to run with the 'gay disease' narrative which = less attention (and funding) paid to vaccinations, education, prevention, treatment, etc.
I feel like my region is going to be dead last when it comes to vaccine availability. Celibacy it is then!
What region are you in?
Montana. Only two cases here so far.
Asymptomatic men are testing positive for Monkeypox… meaning, people are spreading it without even knowing they have it.

Just keeps getting better…
I'm 8 days post shot and my arm pain is the same, it feels like it's worse the last couple of days but I also could be guilty of focussing on it more.
I got my first jab of the Monkeypox vaccine today. I don't know if it's in my mind but I'm feeling very drained, energy wise, a few hours later. I feel very relieved to have gotten it; My second dose is scheduled in 4 weeks. I appreciate the people working in public health departments making this outreach possible. The ladies working there were so incredibly helpful and encouraging.
I had mine 10 days ago, and I've had arm pain and been exhausted ever since, but no regrets. I've never had a jab reaction like it in terms of the pain in my arm, I wonder if it's to do with where they go in with the needle, or if i just got someone a little stabby! Still, I thank them for their service.
Just an FYI, the marks have all completely cleared up. When I tell people that I've had it they can't believe it and expect something akin to The Elephant Man.
Glad you're recovering well. I think most people just don't know what to think because there's so little actual reporting happening about what the symptoms/progression look like, and the few cases I do see popping up in the media tend to be the most extreme cases.
