Wow...that was months ago.
But it seems to me I recall if you had been on the Quercetin/Zinc protocol they said to stop or not take it the day before the shot. Also to not take tumeric, which I take to help with blood pressure regulation. I cannot find the reference regarding QZ protocol, but I recall hearing it.
It is not recommended you take over-the-counter medicine – such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetaminophen – before vaccination for the purpose of trying to prevent vaccine-related side effects. It is not known how these medications might affect how well the vaccine works. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/prepare-for-vaccination.html
Hmm. Thank you.
I had been taking zinc, C and D among other nutrients long before Covid. The day before my J&J shot, and for the week afterward, I took daily 500 mg. Quercetin, 50 mg. zinc, and my usual several thousand IU of D and mg. of C. Ten minutes after the shot, I had NO abnormal feeling in the shot area, and never had any pain, heat or tenderness in that shoulder. Maybe I should be tested to see if I have active immunity or not. My guess is that the immune response would be enhanced, not harmed. I am 83 years old and in good health.
