I put on my winter sleepwear, turned my electric mattress warmer up to two, piled on three blankets, and I just couldn't stop shivering. After two and a half hours, I just passed out, as the muscle relaxer I take before bed finally knocked me out.
The next day, I felt terrible, mostly muscle soreness from the shaking, on top of my usual back pain. I've been through far worse.
I'd get it again in a heartbeat.

Several people we've talked to who got the J&J shot have gotten knocked back down a bit.
Some Moderna people we know have also experienced some difficulties, but not quite as much as the J&J people.
Pfizer has been pretty much a walk in the park for myself, and most others I know who got it.
Of course all this is anecdotal and means absolutely nothing, LOL. True long term efficacy is a completely different argument, and we won't have any real answers to that until months, or even years down the road.
Glad I got the Pfizer, but would have taken any one of them if it came down to it, when I showed up on the day of the shot.
