Just rest and sleep when you need to. It will eventually pass. If anything else changes go to your doctor.

Drink lots of fluids, too, Teresa.
@A MyLupusTeam Member thank you very much for your advice i think i will call my PCP Dr. today since the Dr. i saw yesterday didn't, say munch , my arm still hurts this morning & still hot, my left arm that received the 2 vaccines in is doing fine, i don't think i will allow all of them at once any more , i cant stand this feeling of being light headed, , i don't understand why the arm that only received the one is the one thats the worst & causing all the problems
I appreciated your help i’ll definitely have my PCP look at it.
Thank you
