Tylenol will help a lot with those aches. You should feel a little better tomorrow, but people tell me it takes several days to recover.

The Pneumovax wasn't a big deal the second time I had it. The first shot was so bad I couldn't lift my right arm for a week. I'd just gotten over pneumonia, third time that year, which is why I got it in my late 30s.
