After her first shot, she slept deeper than she has in 25 years. Since the first shot, she has been sleeping deeper and dreaming more. She believes this is because she was in REM sleep. Part of the Fibromyalgia is because you don't go into REM. She said it was 25 years worth of sleep. There is something in there that helps people with this. There was no prescriber. Her second dose is scheduled for 06May2021. She was still sleeping better, but not as good as that first night. She is still sleeping deeper and dreaming more. She wakes up every hour to 2 during the night. She said it doesn't keep her from waking up, but the sleep was deeper. That first night she woke up at 11:30pm and thought it was 6am. Her doctor recommended she had vaccine. Her husband has COPD and she got the vaccine because she did not want to catch the virus with him being there. The feeling like she is in a vice is getting better too since she had the vaccine. She was on Diclofenac before Meloxicam. They took it away and when the generic of Mobic, Meloxicam, came on the market, they switched her over. No further details provided. She got blood test a few hours after she had first vaccine and her cholesterol was great. No further details provided.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
