Hives after vaccines?

So I'm 17 months post transplant. Had the last of my non live vaccinations two weeks ago tomorrow, was three injections, but 7 vaccines. One of the injection spots was itchy pretty quickly but that has been pretty normal.

The same spot continues to be itchy, but now my opposite shoulder on the back and towards my spine is covered in what looks like hives and is stupid itchy. Of course in my head everything is cancer, but none of my blood tests indicate that, even as recently as last Thursday.

Wondering if anyone has had something like this, couple of weeks delayed response to a vaccination?

It's been hot here too, like +30C for the last week. And the last two days I've been outside doing hard labor for 4 hours a day stacking firewood, sweating quite a bit, so maybe it's a heat rash? But it's been over 24 hours now since that last exertion.

21 WK2 Trailhawk Hemi - Battery Upgrade for extreme cold

Hi everyone,

I've got a 2021 WK2 Trailhawk with the Hemi. I live in the Northwest Territories, its gets seriously cold here. Battery failed on me 2 years ago when it was -50C, had to warm up the inside for about 24 hours before it would even turn over. Then this past winter there are definite signs its getting weaker, so 5 years old, that battery has served me well.

Google is suggesting an upgrade to a Group 49/H8 battery. I'd also like to install a battery blanket, and I actually snapped off the plug off my block heater cable (put on a janky extension cord fat yellow plug to get me through the rest of the winter).

I'm looking for the best battery recommendation, maybe a trusted review for installing a blanket around that. And if I'm doing some wiring, replacing the block heater cable and connecting both it and the battery blanket to a single plug in, possible re-routing to a better location than just hanging out from the corner of my hood.

For clarity, I'm reasonably handy and have access to all the tools. Haven't done any work on this Jeep yet since new, literally hasn't needed anything other than regular fluids, and I did brakes and rotors all around last summer. Sitting at 110k km's.

Hardware question - USB2 compatible mem stick for PVR

I've got a couple of streaming boxes that support recording to USB. One device supports USB3, the other USB2 (both USB-A). Any recommendations for say a 1TB USB stick? Streams I would record could be up to 4k 50fps, I've never seen throughput to the streaming side of more than 80Mbit/sec, no idea what that would translate to when written to disk.

The USB3 device is a Fire TV Cube 3rd gen. The USB2 device is a MAG544W3.

Long term shoulder pain?

Looking for anyone with experience with shoulder pain. I'm 16 months post transplant. Back in February I hurt my right shoulder scraping ice off my driveway, kind of wrote it off to over exertion and age. The last week I've dove back into home improvement projects, painted my deck for three days last week, this past weekend I repaired a couple of sections of fence.

But my original right shoulder is pretty sore. I can't tell exactly if it's the joint or soft tissue. It's bad enough that I'm having a hard time sleeping, about to go see the doctor about it. Anti-inflammatories don't seem to help at all. Tylenol takes the edge off but only lasts a few hours, enough to help me fall asleep but I wake up in pain when I roll over.

No other joint pain anywhere. Anyone see this kind of thing post transplant, and what worked for you? My bloodwork is perfect, back in next week for my next checkup which I'll mention to my care team of course. I've wondered maybe this is I'm just getting old now (53M), or maybe this is arthritis?
