She slept sitting up. Finally, she did sleep most of the afternoon. She is very tired. She is concerned if this was normal two weeks after the shot to have a reaction like she just had it. At the pharmacy she was told she would have to wait half an hour because of her high sensitivity and allergies. Within the first half hour she could feel her face was tingling. She knew she was reacting to something. She had a mask on. The medic did not think it was red except where the mask was touching, but she could feel it from the inside. She was flushed. She could tell when she went to the bathroom she was flushed like when she reacts to something. They said to wait another 15 to 20 minutes. She ended up waiting over an hour. The medic and her had to decide if she wanted the ambulance to come with bells and whistle. She felt ok to drive home. She went home and slept for hours and hours. Then she woke up and started with the Tylenol and after 2 days it was ok. Caller clarified the Tylenol is Acetaminophen.
