COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effect Tracker

Just a thought, I have noticed the past yr or so my energy is not what it was before pre covid. I was walking 4 miles a day, also engaging in heavy yard work in my gardens. Just wondered since I had I believe 4 vaccinations, if by chance this somewhat on going fatigue and brain fog is as a result of the vaccinations. I am now 66 yrs old. I will be getting the flu/covid vaccine this fall as prescribed. I am diabetic, and do have COPD, take metoropolol for benign heart rythms. However I kept very active prior to the vaccinations. All my recent lab studies are WNL except for my glucose. So there is no other significant situation going on.

I am a 44-year-old woman, and I had yet another booster for my school requirements on 8/17/2023 at a CVS (Pfizer), and I have the craziest brain fog. I’ve had bad and weird dreams and balance issues, and I feel like I cannot place myself while walking in my neighborhood or driving back and forth to work, meaning I feel like I cannot recognize landmarks to let me know where I am on my journey. Two days after my booster shot, my husband and I went for a walk in our neighborhood for 2 miles, and I’m used to 5, but I couldn’t hang for barely the 2 miles we did. I told him I needed to go back to the house and eat. I ate a light breakfast, but then my heart rate was well above 155 for at least an hour before I could get it to come down. I tried the breathing exercises I learned in nursing school a couple years ago, but was only able to get my heart rate down to 132, so I took a cool/luke wam shower to see if it would subside a little. I drank more cold water, and after another 30 minutes, my heart rate returned to normal. I knew something was off, but couldn’t place it. Now I’m on day 4 and I still feel like I’m recovering from a night out on the town partying, which I haven’t done in 15 years +. I am considering never taking another one of these shots again.

I had three Moderna vaccines. My booster was in November 2021. In December 2021 I developed a liver inflammation which continued until the beginning of March 2022. I also now have a frozen shoulder, which symptoms began at the end of December 2021. I had an episode of Shingles in May 2022. All of these medical conditions have been documented as possible symptoms of the vaccine.

After 1st injection. I developed a RETINA. Macroaneurysm. Left eye. Still getting injections of bevacizumab and lazer treatments. From a retiologist. HAS Anyone else developed. AN ANEURYSM. 0f the eye ?????

“The study also reported overall pooled incidence rate was 1.5% for adverse events, 0.4 per 10,000 for severe adverse events, and 0.1 per 10 000 for DEATH after vaccination.

Healthcare workers showed a higher incidence rate for adverse events, serious adverse events, as well death after vaccination. Also, the incidence rate of adverse events was found to be higher in the AZD1222 vaccine group, serious adverse events were found to be higher in the Gam-COVID-Vac vaccine group, and DEATH after vaccination was found to be higher in the BNT162b2 vaccine group.”

So basically, if a high school has a thousand students, if you immunize everyone at one hundred schools, 1 person will die.

And more deaths occur when the Pfizer-Biotech vaccine is used.

Adverse side effects affect more than 1 out of each 100 vaccinated.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20211101/Large-US-study-finds-majority-of-mRNA-COVID-19-side-effects-are-mild-and-temporary.aspx
The latest analysis of 299 million covid vaccine doses and the VAERS side effects database shows:
1. 6.6% get severe side effects
2. 1.3% die

Crunch the numbers and depending on if you estimate based on 1-dose or 2-doses, you get:

Every 1 in 34000 to 68000 people getting covid vaccines die.
This is the size of a large university like UCLA. IE. Give every student at one such campus vaccines, 1 will die.

Every 1 in 6700 to 13000 people getting covid vaccines experience severe side effects.
This is the size of a community college. Ie. Give everyone on campus this size the vaccine, 1 will get very sick.

3. A significant number of those dying after vaccination are the elderly.

It’s not clear if simply going to get the vaccination (not distancing) exposed them to the covid or not either. Ie. Those distancing at home tend to be the least exposed, but medical professionals giving vaccinations tend to be the most exposed to covid infection since they’re around many potentially infected people daily. So simply going out for a vaccine can increase odds greatly vs distancing at home and having everything delivered.

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-10-teens-covid-sudden-severe-psychiatric.html

Not enough data to determine if this is limited to actual covid infection or includes vaccines or mitigated by vaccines, but is a heads up in case anyone you know goes nuts suddenly.

“Suicidal thoughts, “paranoia-like fears,” delusions and “foggy brain” have been identified in three adolescents who had mild or asymptomatic COVID-19. ”
“

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.14.21265010v1

Out of almost 7000 who got the vaccines (any of the 3 – Pfizer, Moderna, J&J).

Hospitalization 0.3% and severe allergic reactions 0.6%. (Very roughly 1 in 1000 and 1 in 2000, with 1000-2000 people the population of some high schools.)

Those with autoimmune disease or lung disease were approximately twice as likely to seek medical care.

Please watch this press conference. Ex famous football player and his wife are helping those who need a voice in this. I will list the link here of the televised press conference with Senator Johnson and also the organization you can contact privately to voice your concerns:

I hope this information is useful in gaining understanding and helping us all along with this extremely complex situation.

I wanted to come back here and post a positive story about insomnia issues after the vax. You can see my previous posts of desperation from back in March. 42 y/o male, with no health issues prior to vax. Rather I was very athletic and best shape ever. First and only Moderna on 03/19/21. Did not take the 2nd shot due to the side effects. I had severe insomnia starting the next night. It is hard to describe the hell I went through because of insomnia for almost over 5 months. Nothing, even rx meds didn’t work, especially the first 3-4 months. It only started to show slow improvements around the 4-month mark, much better at the 5-month mark. I am over 6 months now and while I am still not sleeping like pre-vax, my sleep is mostly back where I can get 6 hours of sleep. I may still wake up once but don’t struggle to go back. Sleeping anything over 6 hours, especially early morning. I know of another person that went through the same and it took him 5-6 months as well. He is 8 months out now and fully recovered. With the slow progress I have seen, I am sure I will get there. Anyone new to this issue, be calm, it will get better. It may take weeks/months, but it will eventually get better. I still have tinnitus 6 months out that while not as bad, still can be bothersome early morning. I have seen some reports that it went away so I am still hopeful. And I am also dealing with floaters in my eyes which by far are the most bothersome after insomnia. They say they can be permanent and your brain does tune them out. 4 months out since their onset, I am still struggling. Anyway, this post was mainly for anyone with insomnia issues and to give them hope.

4 months in from first jab of Moderna and struggling with my chest and unable to sleep at night. Any kind of physical activity triggers a chest pain as if I had fragments of glass inside. At night, anxiety hits me and unable to get any sleep and if I do I worry that I’ll even wake up the next day.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210930/Comparison-of-Pfizer-Moderna-JJ-AZ-vaccines-for-neutralization-titer-against-Delta-and-other-variants.aspx

“A one-dose Moderna vaccine had the highest antibody titers compared to all three vaccines.”

This reflects the fact that Moderna has been reported to contain a “higher amount of active ingredient in the Moderna vaccine — 100 micrograms, versus 30 micrograms in Pfizer”.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-31/moderna-jab-spurs-double-pfizer-covid-antibody-levels-in-study

SO, if one must get the vaccine, Moderna would provide the best protection regardless of what side effects vaccines create.

We found that 1095 patients (45.0%) reported at least 1 symptom, and the most common symptoms were fatigue, sweating, chest tightness, anxiety, and myalgia. Older age, female gender, and severe disease were associated with higher risks of fatigue or more symptoms. In total, 161 patients (6.6%) had CAT total scores of at least 10, for which the risk factors included severe disease during hospital stay or coexisting cerebrovascular diseases.

Would be interesting to see what percentage of the vaccinated but never infected get long term side effects.

Question What are the long-term health outcomes associated with COVID-19 infection 1 year after hospital discharge?

Findings In this cohort study of 2433 patients who had been hospitalized with COVID-19, the most common symptoms at 1 year after discharge were fatigue, sweating, chest tightness, anxiety, and myalgia. Patients with severe disease had more postinfection symptoms and higher chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test scores.

Meaning This study reported prolonged symptoms of COVID-19 and found that severe disease during hospitalization was a risk factor for more symptoms and higher chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test scores.

Abstract
Importance The long-term health outcomes and symptom burden of COVID-19 remain largely unclear.

Objective To evaluate health outcomes of COVID-19 survivors 1 year after hospital discharge and to identify associated risk factors.

Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted at 2 designated hospitals, Huoshenshan Hospital and Taikang Tongji Hospital, both in Wuhan, China. All adult patients with COVID-19 discharged between February 12 and April 10, 2020, were screened for eligibility. Of a consecutive sample of 3988 discharged patients, 1555 were excluded (796 declined to participate and 759 were unable to be contacted) and the remaining 2433 patients were enrolled. All patients were interviewed via telephone from March 1 to March 20, 2021. Statistical analysis was performed from March 28 to April 18, 2021.

Exposures COVID-19.

Main Outcomes and Measures All patients participated in telephone interviews using a series of questionnaires for evaluation of symptoms, along with a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) assessment test (CAT). Logistic regression models were used to evaluate risk factors for fatigue, dyspnea, symptom burden, or higher CAT scores.

Results Of 2433 patients at 1-year follow-up, 1205 (49.5%) were men and 680 (27.9%) were categorized into the severe disease group as defined by the World Health Organization guideline; the median (IQR) age was 60.0 (49.0-68.0) years. In total, 1095 patients (45.0%) reported at least 1 symptom. The most common symptoms included fatigue, sweating, chest tightness, anxiety, and myalgia. Older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.02; P < .001), female sex (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.06-1.52; P = .008), and severe disease during hospital stay (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.18-1.74; P < .001) were associated with higher risks of fatigue. Older age (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.03; P < .001) and severe disease (OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.14-1.99; P = .004) were associated with higher risks of having at least 3 symptoms. The median (IQR) CAT score was 2 (0-4), and a total of 161 patients (6.6%) had a CAT score of at least 10. Severe disease (OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.31-2.58; P < .001) and coexisting cerebrovascular diseases (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.07-3.54; P = .03) were independent risk factors for CAT scores of at least 10.

Conclusions and Relevance This study found that patients with COVID-19 with severe disease during hospitalization had more postinfection symptoms and higher CAT scores.

Introduction
COVID-19 has spread rapidly into a global pandemic ever since the initial reports in December 2019 in China, which has caused millions of deaths.1 The disease affects multiple systems of the body in the acute phase, represented by acute pneumonia.2 With the increasing number of patients recovered, postinfection health consequences have been recognized.3-5 The first survivors in Wuhan, China, have now lived for 1 year, which provides an opportunity to address the long-term sequelae of COVID-19 in a large population sample.

Several studies have reported that COVID-19 survivors might have persistent symptoms, impaired lung function, and chest imaging abnormalities.5-9 At 6 months after symptom onset, 76% of patients reported at least 1 symptom, the most common being fatigue, muscle weakness, and sleep difficulties.10 In a prospective cohort study of 83 patients with COVID-19, dyspnea scores and exercise capacity improved at 1 year after hospital discharge, whereas radiological changes persisted in 20 (24%) patients.11 In another study of COVID-19 survivors 1 year after hospital discharge, post–COVID-19 symptoms included fatigue, dyspnea, chest pain, and cough.12 There are currently no agreed-upon measures to assess the symptom burden of COVID-19. However, the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT), an 8-item questionnaire designed to quantify health status impairment in COPD patients,13 demonstrated a high CAT score in patients with COVID-19 in the weeks following their admission.14 However, the long-term symptom burden and health outcomes remain largely unknown. This study aimed to determine the long-term health outcomes associated with COVID-19 in a group of patients discharged from 2 designated hospitals of Wuhan one year after discharge.

Methods
This cohort study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Daping Hospital of Army Medical University and registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100045964). Verbal informed consent was obtained from all participants or their legal guardians prior to the survey. The study followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) reporting guideline.

Study Design and Patients
All adult patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who were discharged from Huoshenshan Hospital and Taikang Tongji Hospital (both in Wuhan, China) between February 12 and April 10, 2020, were screened for eligibility. The follow-up study was conducted from March 1 to March 20, 2021. All discharged patients met uniform discharge criteria according to the Chinese clinical guidance for COVID-19 pneumonia diagnosis and treatment issued by the National Health Commission.15 The exclusion criteria included (1) those who declined to participate and (2) those unable to be contacted.

Procedures and Data Acquisition
All patients were contacted in the order of their discharge date as documented in the medical record. Patients were interviewed via telephone by trained physicians using a series of questionnaires, including a self-reported symptom questionnaire, and CAT, as shown in eTable 1 in the Supplement. A CAT score of at least 10 is recommended as the threshold for maintenance treatment in COPD,16 which was based on a modeling study of the association between CAT scores and the daily life and well-being patients with COPD.17 The symptom questionnaire was based on symptoms that had been reported by patients during hospitalization, which was described in an earlier study.18 These symptoms included fever, cough, fatigue, anorexia, shortness of breath, chest tightness, myalgia, expectoration, dyspnea, diarrhea, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, headache, chill, dizziness, and hemoptysis. Patients were asked to report any persistent or newly occurring symptoms. The patients' current symptoms were carefully distinguished from those of their preillness state or other underlying diseases not related to COVID-19.

Clinical data for patients during hospitalization were retrieved from electronic medical records, including demographic characteristics (self-reported race, age, sex, and cigarette smoking) and clinical characteristics (self-reported comorbidities, symptoms, and chest images). The disease severity was defined by World Health Organization guideline for COVID 19.19 Severe pneumonia refers to fever or suspected respiratory infection, plus 1 of the following: respiratory rate greater than 30 breaths per minute; severe respiratory distress; or oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) less than or equal to 93% on room air.19 We double-entered and validated all data using EpiData software version 3.1 (EpiData Association).

Statistical Analysis
Continuous variables were described as median with IQR, followed by Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical variables were presented as absolute values along with percentages and compared using the Pearson χ2 test or Fisher exact test. We compared the clinical characteristics between enrolled patients and those who were lost to follow-up. To test for the risk of bias due to the patients who were lost to follow-up, 1:1 propensity score–matching between the subpopulation lost to follow-up (n = 1555) and the enrolled subpopulation (n = 2433) was carried out. To explore factors associated with the risk of fatigue, dyspnea, occurrence of at least 3 symptoms, and CAT scores of at least 10, univariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential risk factors with P < .10. These were then used in a stepwise (forward:LR) selection process in multivariate logistic regression model. All tests were 2-sided, and P < .05 was considered statistically significant. All statistical analyses were performed with the use of R software version 3.6.2 (R Project for Statistical Computing) from March 28 to April 18, 2021.

Results
Patient Characteristics
A total of 3988 COVID-19 survivors were screened for eligibility. In total, 1555 patients were excluded (796 declined to participate and 759 were unable to be contacted) and the remaining 2433 patients were enrolled for the questionnaire phone interview (Figure 1). Among the patients who were enrolled, 1205 (49.5%) were men, 1228 (50.5%) were women, and 680 (27.9%) were categorized as having severe disease; the median (IQR) age of the enrolled patients was 60.0 (49.0–68.0) years. The most common comorbidity was hypertension (712 patients [29.3%]). The median (IQR) duration of hospital stay was 14.0 (9.0-20.0) days, and the median (IQR) time from discharge to follow-up was 364.0 (357.0–371.0) days. During hospitalization, 54 patients (2.2%) were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). In total, 1743 patients (71.6%) received oxygen therapy, among which 21 patients (0.9%) received mechanical ventilation. Patients in the severe group were older, had more male individuals, had higher frequencies of coexisting disorders, and had a longer hospital stay, as well as a higher percentage of ICU admission (Table 1).

Compared with enrolled patients, those who were lost to follow-up (N = 1555) were older, had a higher percentage of co-existing hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases and COPD, and had a higher percentage of ICU admission and mechanical ventilation. No significant difference was found in sex, disease severity, or the percentage of smokers (Table 1).

Characteristics of Long-term Sequelae at 1-Year Follow-up
During hospitalization, 2322 out of 2433 patients (95.4%) reported at least 1 symptom. At 1-year follow-up, 1338 patients (55.0%) were completely free of any COVID-19–related symptom, whereas 1095 patients (45.0%) reported at least 1 symptom, and the percentage was higher in the patients who were in the severe group while hospitalized (severe vs nonsevere: 54.0% vs 41.5%; OR, 1.31 [95% CI, 1.04-1.65]; P = .02). Female patients had a higher percentage of any symptoms than male patients (female vs male: 47.9% vs 42.1%; OR, 0.81 [95% CI, 0.65-1.00]; P = .049). Of those with persisting symptoms, 412 (16.9%) reported 1 symptom, 299 (12.3%) reported 2 symptoms, and 384 (15.8%) reported 3 or more symptoms.

During hospitalization, the most common symptoms were fever (77.2% [1878 patients]), cough (70.0% [1703 patients]), fatigue (55.3% [1345 patients]), anorexia (50.6% [1232 patients]), and shortness of breath (41.1% [1000 patients]) (eTable 2 in the Supplement). At 1-year follow-up, no patient reported fever and the most common symptoms were fatigue (27.7% [696 patients]), sweating (16.9% [424 patients]), chest tightness (13.0% [326 patients]), anxiety (10.4% [262 patients]), and myalgia (7.9% [198 patients]) (Table 2). The percentage of symptoms during the acute phase of the disease and at 1-year follow-up is compared in the eFigure in the Supplement. The percentage of patients reporting cough decreased to 4.1% [104 patients], anorexia to 0.8% [20 patients], and shortness of breath to 4.1% [103 patients]. Besides sweating and anxiety, there were several other newly reported symptoms, including palpitation (4.2% [106 patients]), edema of lower limbs (1.4% [36 patients]), taste change (1.4% [35 patients]), and impaired sense of smell (1.3% [32 patients]). The prevalence of several symptoms in the severe group was significantly higher than those in the nonsevere group (severe vs nonsevere fatigue: 35.9% vs 25.8%; OR, 1.36 [95% CI, 1.10-1.68]; P = .004; severe vs nonsevere chest tightness: 20.4% vs 10.7%; OR, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.29-2.19]; P < .001; severe vs nonsevere shortness of breath: 6.6% vs 3.3%; OR, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.17-2.88]; P = .008; severe vs nonsevere impaired sense of smell: 2.5% vs 0.9%; OR, 2.59 [95% CI, 1.19-5.65]; P = .02; severe vs nonsevere sore throat: 1.8% vs 0.7%; OR, 3.10 [95% CI, 1.31-7.32]; P = .01). Female patients had significantly higher percentages of anxiety (13.4% vs 8.1%, P = .001), myalgia (9.6% vs 6.6%, P = .01), and headache (3.1% vs 1.6%, P = .001) (eTable 3 in the Supplement).

After propensity score–matching, 1453 patients (59.7%) in the enrolled population were matched successfully with those lost to follow-up. As shown in eTable 4 in the Supplement, the baseline characteristics were comparable. In the propensity score–matched population, the most common symptoms were fatigue (29.2% [425 patients]), sweating (16.7% [243 patients]), chest tightness (13.4% [195 patients]), anxiety (10.7% [155 patients]), and myalgia (8.5% [124 patients]), which were similar to that of the overall enrolled population (eTable 5 in the Supplement).

Risk Factors of Post-Infection Sequelae at 1-Year Follow-up
We next investigated risk factors for fatigue, which was the most common symptom at 1-year follow-up (eTable 6 in the Supplement). On univariate analysis, age, sex, disease severity, oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay, and follow-up times were associated with fatigue. After multivariable adjustment, severe disease (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.18-1.74; P < .001), older age (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.02; P < .001), and female sex (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.06-1.52; P = .008) were associated with a higher risk of fatigue. For dyspnea, age, oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and coexisting chronic liver diseases were risk factors after multivariable adjustment (eTable 7 in the Supplement).

In patients with at least 3 symptoms at 1-year of follow-up, older age (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.03; P < .001) and severe disease (OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.14-1.99; P = .004) were independent risk factors (eTable 8 in the Supplement).

CAT Scoring at 1-Year Follow-up
Previously, CAT was shown to be a useful tool to assess symptom burden of patients with COVID-19.14 In the present study, all 2433 patients completed CAT assessment. The median (IQR) CAT score was 2 (0–4) in the total cohort, and the severe group had a significantly higher median (IQR) CAT score ( 2 [0–5]) compared with the nonsevere group (1 [0–3]; P < .001) (Figure 2A). A total of 161 patients (6.6%) had CAT total scores of at least 10. The severe group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with a CAT score of at least 10 compared with the nonsevere group (severe vs nonsevere: 79 [11.6%] vs 82 [4.7%]; χ2=38.187; P < .001) (Figure 2B). The CAT item scores are shown in Figure 2C.

We next assessed risk factors associated with CAT scores of at least 10. On univariate analysis, severe disease (OR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.94-3.71; P < .001), ICU admission (OR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.40-6.10; P = .004), mechanical ventilation (OR, 3.59; 95% CI, 1.19-10.85; P = .02), hypertension (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.20-2.31; P = .002), cardiovascular diseases (OR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.54-3.62; P < .001), and cerebrovascular diseases (OR, 3.80; 95% CI, 2.14-6.74; P < .001) were associated with higher odds of CAT scores of at least 10. After multivariable adjustment, severe disease (OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.31-2.58; P < .001), and coexisting cerebrovascular diseases (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.07-3.54; P = .03) were found to be independent risk factors for CAT scores of at least 10 (Table 3).

Discussion
This study reports the long-term health outcomes of COVID-19 survivors at 1-year after hospital discharge in a large cohort of patients. We found that 1095 patients (45.0%) reported at least 1 symptom, and the most common symptoms were fatigue, sweating, chest tightness, anxiety, and myalgia. Older age, female gender, and severe disease were associated with higher risks of fatigue or more symptoms.

For those who don't get vaccinated, 45% of those infected in this 1 year study had long term side effects.

Naturally, it'll be interesting to see what percentage of the vaccinated but not infected get long term side effects.

5 days after getting the 1st dose of the Pfizer vaccine I developed swelling, bruising, pain and redness in my breast. There is a large area of very dark bruising, swollen lymph nodes that are raised and visible through the skin and tenderness to the touch. The symptoms are only in my left breast which is the same side I had the vaccine injection (left arm). It’s been almost two months and I still have daily breast pain, bruising and minor swelling in the left breast. My doctor gave me Prednisone and the symptoms went away while I was taking the meds. However, they reoccurred 2 days after I finished the 6-day round of steroids. There were actually more red, swollen lymph nodes afterwards. My doctor said she had never seen anything like this and has scheduled me for diagnostic testing.

Report your adverse reaction to the vaccine at the VAERS website: https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html
I myself took the second dose of Moderna back on April 30. Four days later I began to experience heart palpitations / skipped heart beats that lasted for months. My primary care physician and a different cardiologist told me they didn’t think the vaccine was the direct cause (yeah, right). Anyway, I got myself on magnesium citrate and the palpitations have thankfully gone away.

I don’t claim any medical knowledge. I’ve not taken the vaccines and don’t intend to. But I have a question and hope it’s answerable.

My wife’s 63 year old brother, in the Philippines, very healthy person, got his second dose of Pfizer two days ago.
He collapsed there in the clinic and was rushed to the hospital. He has no history of any medical issues.
Sadly, his kidneys had immediately started shutting down and he died less than two days later.
I’m not looking for pro or anti vaxx arguments, I respect whatever you choose for yourself and feel that’s how it should be.
I just want to know. medically, how in the world can this happen to a guy who’s healthy as can be and climbs mountains every week?
What in that vaccine could have caused that? I’m not aware of any instances of kidney issues in my wife’s family. She said there are none.
Thank you.

“Pfizer’s top scientist said it chose a relatively low COVID-19 vaccine dose to minimize side effects.

Pfizer’s vaccine has 30 micrograms of mRNA, the active ingredient. Moderna’s has 100 micrograms.”

Or…… Pfizer is giving us less than 1/3rd the ingredients needed for great protection, or Moderna is gonna cause us lots more side-effects….

Vaers does report More Moderna events than Pfizer events, supporting this (more Pfizer doses given).

https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/new-data-confirm-pfizer-and-moderna-vaccines-bring-a-small-risk-of-heart-problems/

That said, the latest data shows an increased risk of Heart Problems after Pfizer/Moderna vaccination, so those with current heart disease should weigh the pros and cons.

https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2110475
Data from 2.4 million vaccinated Israelis show that the “Pfizer” vaccine have these side-effects:

“In short, the study has shown that vaccination was strongly associated with an increased risk of myocarditis (2.7 events per 100,000 persons), as well as lymphadenopathy (which occurred relatively frequent with 78.5 events per 100,000 persons), herpes zoster infection (which can translate to an increased risk of Bell’s palsy) and appendicitis.

On the other hand, SARS-CoV-2 infection was linked to a substantially elevated risk of myocarditis (11 events per 100,000 persons), alongside the risk of pericarditis, arrhythmia, pulmonary embolism, deep-vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction, thrombocytopenia, and intracranial hemorrhage.

The study has also shown that the risk of myocarditis is basically increased by a factor of three following vaccination. Furthermore, among the 21 persons with myocarditis in the group that received the vaccine, the median age was 25 years and there was a substantial male predominance.”

I had the Moderna shot just over two months ago and have suffered from burning tingling sensations all over my body, including some dizziness and light-headedness in the mornings off and on. Has anyone taken Gabapentin and if so, has it worked or have you needed to keep upping your dosage? What about natural treatments? Very frustrating and it’s waking me up all hours of the night,,,,, suggestions???

Steel particles found in some batches of Moderna in Japan. Don’t be surprised if you got a jab with such batches and have side effects!

You can always ask the caregiver to visual check the vial for foreign particles prior to giving you a dose.

I will be waiting for Novavax approval here in Canada. The phase trials looked very good, and the amount of research and data available regarding protein sub unit vaccines is comforting. Also, I love how they are using an adjuvant sourced from a tree unlike from aluminum like post protein sub units have.

Hello!! I just wanted to get an update on how you guys are feeling. I’m in the Oz and as with most ppl, we are being forced to take the vaccine. My dr has advised me to take the Pfizer butbive had severe anxiety for the past few weeks thinking about the thought of taking it. I’ve had severe anxiety and panic attacks on the past to a point that I was admitted to hospital. I’m so so terrified that this vaccine may trigger these or if I can handle getting these again. My partner is booked to have his on Wednesday but I am severely scared that I’m certain I’ll make myself faint or collapse from how terrified I am

https://japantoday.com/category/national/Japan-halts-use-of-1.63-mil-Moderna-vaccine-doses-over-contamination

https://time.com/5955247/inside-biontech-vaccine-facility/

Don’t be too surprised if some of the side effects are due to manufacturing defects of the vaccines.

After all, any 50,000 step process created literally on-the-fly in 2020 and rushed out the door is bound to have a few things wrong.

The companies are improving the process over time, but any single error in a 50,000 step process can make a bad batch.

I have not been on here in a few months. I took Pfizer–second vaccine 3/15. I was diagnosed with costochondritis prior to vaccine but it came and went. Over 5 months later, I have been diagnosed with thoracic radiculopathy-very rare and intercostal neuralgia. My PCP in the beginning brought up vaccine side effects and I agreed. I am bedridden and in chronic pain every day. My pain is a 10 plus, I have disc bulge at T6T7–thoracic MRI. I had thoracic ESI and trigger points. Spinal surgeon wants to do one more ESI to rule out spine causing the problem. My back does not hurt–my ribs, band area and chest do. Spinal surgeon believes if all of this checks out, I am the one in a million or whatever it is—-that have been strongly affected in the worst way by the vaccine. Remember the statistics. I am pro-vax and am not here to discourage anyone—only to share what a nightmare I continue to go through every day of my life. Continue sharing your experiences I will be back at a later date. Stay safe –and please take all precautions. The Delta Variant is a game changer. Just wondering what doctor to see next after this round….

Survivor Corps founder Diana Berrent joins The Post to discuss the growing number of people with long-haul COVID, the mounting medical challenges they face and her own experience with lingering symptoms.

Reasons for vaccination…

https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/19442038.coronavirus-scotland-41-covid-deaths-date-among-fully-vaccinated-scots/

What’s important is the graph breakdown of those infected – unvaccinated vs vaccinated.

65% of the infected were not vaccinated
35% of the infected were vaccinated

That’s 7 out of every 20 infected people got vaccinated!

This simply reflects the dropping efficacy of vaccines against new strains of covid.

…

And, notice the 10000s infected!

Vs Wuhan China. They shut the city down, burned out the virus, and for about a year, no, that’s zero 0, infections until the delta recently arrived. Then they tested all 11 million, and found a few dozen in Wuhan (and a few hundred cases across China).
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/china-wuhan-covid-test-entire-population/

In other words, there’s MORE deaths in America from covid despite vaccination per week than ALL the infected in China.

Clearly, even with a Less effective vaccine in China, their approach to covid infection suppression is the Key.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210806/Double-vaccinated-three-times-less-likely-to-test-positive-for-COVID-19-than-unvaccinated-says-study.aspx

Vaccine effectiveness is dropping fast.
In the latest round of people studied in the UK, “in round 13 (June 24 and July 12, 202 1), 44 percent of infections happened in fully vaccinated people…”

From the latest August data from LA County health, 0.31% of the vaccinated tested positive (infected). That’s 1 person out of 322 vaccinated STILL getting infected.

Out of these 15,628 vaccinated and infected, 446 died. Or 1 out of 33 infected AND vaccinated DIE.

N95 or N100 mask use, distancing, isolating, and simply not seeing anyone in person recommended for the highest risk age groups, the elderly 50+ years making up 95%~ of all covid deaths – especially those 60+ as deaths increase with age.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210806/Study-reports-on-COVID-19-vaccine-related-adverse-events-in-young-Japanese-population.aspx

In Japan, the latest data says:

“Vaccination at the workplace was administered to approximately 4,000 people. About 0.5% of vaccine recipients had adverse events..”

So that’s 1 in 200 people suffering effects such as anaphylaxis.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02039-y

Extremely detailed overview of the way Covid virus attacks human cells, invades them, and the important effects.

One of the key differences between vaccination and infection in creating immunity is syncytia covid infections.

Syncytia occurs when several cells fuse or bind together to create a “lump” of cells. This occurs in the lungs in covid infections, but not from vaccinations.

Widespread syncytia leads to the extensive lung damage and inability to breathe well often seen in covid patients (and this is aside from the damage caused when the patients often catch pneumonia as a result of covid infection).

Naturally, the newer strains are better able to infect cells and create such damage.

So those with lung damage (smokers!), asthma, etc, will want to strongly consider this difference when debating whether or not to get vaccinated.

…

As for anti-covid drugs:
“When the virus transmits and replicates in the human airway, it doesn’t use endosomes, so chloroquine, which is an endosomal disrupting drug, is not effective in real life.” So no point stocking up on this drug given to President Trump.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210731/FDAs-accelerated-drug-approval-process-plagued-by-missing-efficacy-data-and-questionable-evidence.aspx

“Since the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established its accelerated approval pathway for drugs in 1992, nearly half (112) of the 253 drugs authorized have not been confirmed as clinically effective, an investigation by The BMJ has found.”

While we know the vaccine works to a degree (the recent superspreading infections among the vaccinated reveal poor protection against infection, but decent protection against death after infection among the vaccinated – 1 in 100 among the infected vaccinated based on LA county data), we still don’t know the extent of the short and long term side effects.

…

That said, we are getting more data on the long-term side effects of those infected.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210729/Research-finds-associations-between-COVID-19-and-persistent-cognitive-deficits.aspx

“…associations between COVID-19 and persistent cognitive deficits, including the acceleration of Alzheimer’s disease pathology and symptoms.
In addition to the respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms that accompany COVID-19, many people with the virus experience short- and/or long-term neuropsychiatric symptoms, including loss of smell and taste, and cognitive and attention deficits, known as “brain fog.”

Now, the vaccines trigger some of the same reactions in the body as a covid infection, and some different reactions that don’t exist in a covid infection because the “manufactured” technology of mRNA and other vaccines are imperfect.

What these imperfect proteins triggered by mRNA vaccines do within a body isn’t yet known to a great extent, so it becomes a trade-off between the known short and long term side effects of a covid infection and higher rate of death versus the lower rate of death and side effects of the vaccines.

…

Based on recent LA county data, once infected, the unvaccinated have a rate of death of 2.8 in 100 versus 1 in 100 for the vaccinated.

https://ibb.co/H4bxNSj

While you may mistakenly think you’re fine after vaccination with a lower chance of infection, recent Delta and newer variants have shown that the vaccinations do little to stop superspreading and the vaccinated, from Pelosi’s staff to regular Americans are quickly infected.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/07/30/provincetown-covid-outbreak-vaccinated/

…

What one can do with the risk of lasting side effects include the usual – stay apart, don’t gather in person, avoid shopping when stores are busy, have food delivered or shop once a week or less, and don’t go to events with crowds. Work and attend school from home.

..

Importantly, upgrade your mask to a N95 or N100!

https://ibb.co/xLS5YFX

Cloth masks are very poor at blocking the 100~nm covid virus, and a N95/N100 mask that’s well-sealed around the perimeter greatly enhances your safety.

…

At home or office, a Sharp Plasmacluster air purifier has been shown to reduce covid in the air (and cold and flu viruses).

https://global.sharp/corporate/news/200907-a.html

..

No filter or mask is perfect, but reducing 1 million viruses in the air to 100,000 or 10,000 greatly helps your body fight against infection much like surgeons scrubbing their hands free of germs even though they wear gloves over their hands during surgery.

“Decreased appetite, lethargy, asthenia, malaise, night sweats, and hyperhidrosis were new adverse events attributable to BNT162b2 (Pfizers mRNA covid vaccine).”

“More BNT162b2 than placebo recipients reported local reactions, most commonly mild-tomoderate injection site pain.”

“More BNT162b2 than placebo recipients reported systemic events, most commonly fatigue. Systemic events were mostly mild-to-moderate, but occasionally severe.”

Efficacy dropped to 83.7% (74.7 to 89.9% range) after 4 months post-vaccination.

Importantly!
Right after the 2nd dose, the efficacy in some groups was poor.
Eg. Asians 87.6% (range as low as 58.9 to 96.6%).

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.28.21261159v1.full.pdf

Started having palpatations 3 days after 1st dose. Was just wondering for anyone else who experienced palpatations how long did they last? And if you have since had your 2nd dose, did you experience similiar side effects?

I’m 2 months out now and the palpatations have gotten better, I also occasionally feel some shortness of breath. I’m nervous about getting the 2nd shot now!

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-07-dose-covid-vaccine-shouldnt.html

Of note:
“This is the first time RNA vaccines have ever been given to humans, and we have no clue as to how they do what they do: offer 95% protection against COVID-19… Despite their outstanding efficacy, little is known about how exactly RNA vaccines work,” said Bali Pulendran, Ph.D., professor of pathology and of microbiology and immunology (Stanford University)

“Unexpectedly, Pulendran said, the vaccine—particularly the second dose—caused the massive mobilization of a newly discovered group of first-responder cells that are normally scarce and quiescent.
First identified in a recent vaccine study led by Pulendran, these cells—a small subset of generally abundant cells called monocytes that express high levels of antiviral genes—barely budge in response to an actual COVID-19 infection. But the Pfizer vaccine induced them.
This special group of monocytes, which are part of the innate museum, constituted only 0.01% of all circulating blood cells prior to vaccination. But after the second Pfizer-vaccine shot, their numbers expanded 100-fold to account for a full 1% of all blood cells. In addition, their disposition became less inflammatory but more intensely antiviral.”

So is such an artificially raised monocytes level good?
Short term, perhaps to fight covid.

Long term?
https://journals.lww.com/md-journal/Fulltext/2019/04260/Higher_monocyte_count_with_normal_white_blood_cell.59.aspx
“Higher monocyte count with normal white blood cell count is positively associated with 10-year cardiovascular disease risk determined by Framingham risk score among community-dwelling Korean individuals.”

Again, the key point here is the monocytes level is substantially higher than in people with actual covid infections – the vaccines are artificially raising monocytes levels.

No long-term data on the vaccines, so no idea what’ll actually occur ten years from now. Short-term, it wouldn’t be surprising if the palpitations that some experience are connected.

Long COVID: More likely in patients with 5+ symptoms in first week of infection

More data on the kind of patients that experience long covid side effects…

Male, 36, fit and healthy. 48 hours after receiving first Pfizer shot I got heart palpitations. It’s now a week on and I still have them. Sometimes it’s once every 5-10 seconds, other times I may go a few minutes without one. It is fairly unsettling having this especially with the uncertainty of the second shot in 2 weeks time. Has anyone found a cure to this yet/do these go away with time?

Got my 1st jab (Pfizer) 3 days ago. Was concerned to have an allergic reaction to it but luckily I walked out fine. About 3 hours later at home the palpitations started (been having on and off symptoms for years). Like every 5 beats it would skip when it peaks to about every +15. It seems to peak when sitting so I would stand or try to walk around then it would subside. HR was less than 100 beats (I’m usually about 65 beats per min). I also have panic attacks so this may have been the reason my body may have overreacted. Fell asleep and woke up twice with the panic attacks. I just stood up for a while till my body (brain and heart) would slow down. The next day the palpitations went away thankfully. Still going to get my 2nd jab and from reading other stores I hope it will be temporary thing also. Thanks for sharing all of your stories. I had a hard time trying to get information about palpitations from the vaccine so I’m posting mine.

I am a 75 year old white male and a DEM. I had a dormant and mild skin condition called Vitiligo for 40+ years. It was barely noticeable and stable. After my 2nd Moderna vaccine on March 1, 2021, my Vitiligo became very active and quickly covered my entire body. I now look like a cow. I am convinced the 2nd Moderna shot super charged my immune system and made my Vitiligo run wild. Friends and family members are very concerned it may happen to them. Some are refusing to get vaccinated. I can’t blame them. Nobody wants to look like a cow the rest of their life. I have reported this to the CDC, Moderna, my local board of health, and many others.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/eu-regulator-lists-heart-condition-113210952.html

“Europe’s drug regulator has found a possible link between very rare heart inflammation and COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna….The conditions, myocarditis and pericarditis, must be listed as side-effects of the two mRNA vaccines, the safety committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said.”

Dr Robert Malone, an industrial scientist and the authoritative voice on mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) technology since he invented it when he was a graduate student at the Salk Institute in 1988, in an recent interview:
Scandal of the rushed rollout: Censored vaccine expert speaks out.
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/scandal-of-the-rushed-rollout-censored-vaccine-expert-speaks-out/

Here are some of the highlights he revealed in the interview. Firstly, Dr Malone stated: ‘In the Security and Exchange Commission filings for both Pfizer and Moderna, there’s explicit statements that acknowledge that these are gene therapy-based (vaccines) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) perceives them as such.’

He brilliantly explained the science behind the vaccines by using the metaphor of an industrial robot used to build cars. The RNA in this metaphor is the code that a hacker is inserting into the bit stream to make these robots (your cells) make something they would not have otherwise made. In this case, it’s the spike protein that’s recognised by the immune system triggering a response.

‘In a conventional vaccine you can precisely calculate how much protein goes into your shoulder because it’s fixed and predictable, but in the case of these genetic vaccines you can’t,’ he warned.

‘You can’t calculate how long it produces this protein and how much protein it makes and exactly what cells in your body the protein goes into. Conventional vaccines go around your cell, but for these gene therapy-based vaccines the target is your cell.’

When I asked whether he thought the UK (which was the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer vaccine on December 2, 2020) rushed through their approval of it, Dr Malone quickly responded: ‘I wouldn’t say maybe, I would say they did. You can’t take a process that normally takes a decade and push it down into nine months and not cut corners.’

Read remaining at link and link leads to the actual interview.

Time to create another section on this website for mRNA flu vaccine side effects tracking!

https://www.phonearena.com/news/long-covid-symptoms-fitbit-study_id133439

“We found a prolonged physiological impact of COVID-19 infection, lasting approximately 2 to 3 months, on average, but with substantial intraindividual variability, which may reflect various levels of autonomic nervous system dysfunction or potentially ongoing inflammation. Transient bradycardia has been noted in a case study approximately 9 to 15 days after symptom onset, which was also seen in our population.”

Nice to know the data supports the existence of long covid…. But do they really need wearables to tell you you feel like crap still….? (Obviously a 1st world thing..)

Had the 2nd Pfizer dose on Jan 20th. Range of side effects for 5 months plus, diminishing over time. Fatigue, eyes tired, slight headache, “off” feeling, neck pain, joint pain, anxiety. No serious side effects but all these. Still after 5 months have neck and joint pain off and on and occasional “off” feeling. I would still take the vaccine though! How is everyone else long term.

Dr. Malone (inventor of mRNA vaccines and RNA transfection) on some inconvenient truths about the COVID genetic vaccines:

Regarding dosing of the COVID genetic vaccines (mRNA, recombinant adenovirus) versus the more traditional vaccines (including Novavax). There are some inconvenient truths here.

First, the current genetic vaccines (Sanofi, J&J, Pfizer, Moderna) did not undergo the time tested assessments of dose ranging and dose timing clinical studies, to the best of my knowledge. I have direct first person report of how the dose was selected for Moderna (confidential source), and it was basically a SWAG by committee consensus. Personally, for what it is worth, it is my
opinion that the current mRNA vaccines selected a dose that was too high, too far up on the sigmoidal dose response curve – so that we may have excess adverse events. Dose selection with vaccines is usually about careful balancing of adverse events with potency/efficacy/effectiveness, with a bias towards safety.
(Correction, proper dose ranging was done for Pfizer, limited sample size)

Second big inconvenient truth is that the spike protein is the actual active agent, in terms of eliciting an immune response. And in the case of the traditional vaccines, the dose of spike protein is defined relatively precisely. With the genetic vaccines, it is not (to the best of my knowledge). I know of no data wherein the mean, median, range etc of total amount of spike protein produced in a patient after administration of the COVID genetic vaccine has been defined. Usually, the FDA is quite persnickety about such things, but I am not aware of this key variable having been determined. Therefore, the range and severety of adverse events potentially attributable to the level of expressed spike protein may reflect patient to patient differences in genetic transfer efficiency and subsequent spike expression. #Science #Data #honestyisthebestpolicy #Transparency #evidencebasedmedicine

https://www.gov.il/he/departments/news/05072021-03
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/coronavirus/johnson-johnson-vaccine-and-the-delta-variant-will-a-booster-shot-be-needed/2543685/

As the Delta variant spreads in Israel:
“From epidemiological analysis of public health services in the Ministry of Health, as of June 6, there is a decrease in the effectiveness of the [Pfizer] vaccine in preventing infection to 64% and in preventing a disease with symptoms to 64%.”

In comparison:
“Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former Food and Drug Administration commissioner, reportedly said the Johnson & Johnson vaccine appears to be about 60% effective against the delta variant.”

Thus, for those who have yet to get a vaccine jab, it doesn’t matter which one you get because 4 out of 10 vaccinated can still get infected and get sick or die.

Back to the masks and isolation especially for the most vulnerable 50+ years making up 95%~ of covid deaths!

https://www.yahoo.com/news/boy-16-cardiac-arrest-exercis-covid-vaccine-110750152.html

“Boy, 16, had cardiac arrest after exercise following 1st Pfizer vaccine dose”

Given the heart and blood related side effects reported previously, cardiac arrest would not be unusual.

1 case proves nothing about whether there actually is any connection between the vaccine and a teen getting a heart attack during heavy exercise six days later, especially given the heat and humidity in Singapore this summer.

Nonetheless, parents everywhere would be smart to make sure their teens take it easy for a few weeks after each dose.

https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-data/h01053/japanese-studies-find-long-term-effects-of-covid-19.html

Japanese study finds that long-term covid side effects persist for a significant number of patients.

Around 10% continue to have headaches, taste disorder, muscle weakness, thinking or concentrating issues, sleep disorder, and shortness of breath, and over 20% experience fatigue – six months after covid infection!

With the reported changes to the immune system and blood platelets (non-peer reviewed early scientific report previews), it’s likely such changes to the body and more are causing these long term covid issues.

With the lower rates of reported long term, covid vaccine side-effects, the unvaccinated should carefully balance the likelihood of short and long term side effects of the vaccines vs covid illness, as well as severity of such based on one’s age range and personal health.

I experienced a more severe menstrual cycle after a vaxxed family member stayed with us for a week. My period was more intense, more intense cramps, and unusually heavier bleeding, when my periods have been consistently lighter all my life. My next period was closer back to normal after vaxxed family member left. Anyone else experience harder menstrual cycle after hanging around vaxxed?

The latest news reveals “COVID-19 significantly changes the size and stiffness of red and white blood cells—sometimes over months. These results may help to explain why some affected people continue to complain of symptoms long after an infection (long COVID).”

https://phys.org/news/2021-06-covid-infection-blood-cells.html

While there’s no solution to long covid yet, this does provide insight into what treatments might need to target to successfully work.

Hi, 33 Yo male. Had my Sonivac first shot on 26/06/2021. On the first day I could not able to sleep and heart palpitations were at worst. Went to see the doctor and was taking some medicines for anxiety relief. Now the palpitations are no more…but consistent with high heart rate (somewhere 120). Other than that slight shortness of breath as well. Please explain if this is normal or otherwise.

Update. Almost 8 weeks after 1st pyzier dose still have palpitations although not as frequent. Had everything checked out and got told my heart and health was perfect so thankfully that is good. Although i have no doubt the vaccine caused it as i never had them in my life before getting this vaccine. I am due the 2nd dose tomorrow. Praying it won’t make it worse. Will update again in due course.

Had my share of side effects but still say get the vaccine. The politicalization of this is going to kill people.

It looks like the spike protein in the Covid vaccines is a BIG problem. Please see articles in links below. The first link contains the actual article (autopsy report) in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases. The second link contains an Infectious Diseases specialist’s interpretation (in red type) of the autopsy findings. I think it is important to share this information, especially for people who are thinking about getting the Covid vaccine but haven’t decided yet:

Reading all of these comments only strengthens my position that I will not be getting vaccinated. Not trying to offend anyone, but we (the people) are being used as the experimental group (i.e. guinea pigs) and many people are suffering (some even dying) because of it. I do not trust any of thee vaccines. I have had COVID-19; it wasn’t that bad. I have some lingering issues with lung capacity (specifically, shortness of breath), especially when working out. From what I have read and heard, things will only get worse with a vaccine, so no thanks. I hope that none of you have lingering effects from these vaccines. I will take my chances with COVID-19.

So while the side effects didn’t put me down, it did concern me that my balance was effected. I’d suggest anyone who’s got poorer balance, seniors, poor-sighted, etc to use extra caution moving about. Hug the walls even if it looks dumb! I used the Air Force trick once – suck in the tummy hard to push blood up to the brain momentarily.

Completed pfizer vaccination March 1, 2021. Diagnosis: right bundle branch block (heart arrhythmia) June 1, 2021 via standard screening, my age 63 years.
I have 2 friends, post covid 19 vaccination, both started atrial fibrillation (heart arrhythmia), after covid vaccination ages: in 70’s.

I received the Pfizer vaccine in the last week of January. Two days later, I began to experience muscle cramps and twitching. The cramps subsided after about twelve weeks, however, the twitching persists and is worse after exercise.

I had vaccine in February and a month later my arm started to really hurt and has been painful to this day. Why would I still have such pain around and above injection site after all these months?

I received the 1st dose of Pfizer vaccine on May24. I had a little muscle pain at the site of the injection. Three days after shot it was gone. A few days later (maybe during the second week) came the heart palpitations. Seems like many have experienced this and have been checked out only to find that everything is ok. It’s a bit unnerving but drinking water, eating and resting seems to help. Hoping it will subside soon as it is somewhat unsettling. I am trying not to overreact but it does make you feel a little out of sorts and fatigued. I have the second shot coming up in 5 days. Hopefully, it will not make it worse.

I received the Johnson and Johnson vaccine on March 15th and didn’t really notice any side effects other than a big red mark on my arm that took about 2 weeks to go away. Recently though I have had heart palpitations and don’t know if it is related to the vaccine as I have never had heart problems. I went to my doctor, they did a 24 hr. holter monitor and am diagnosed with pvc’s 20,000 in 24 hours. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this after the vaccine, this all happened about a month after the vaccine, and continues today.

I am a healthy 29yo female and I went in for the first Moderna dose. I went to a pharmacy where they gave me the injection and I was instructed to wait in the lobby for 15 minutes. Within one minute of getting the shot and having a seat, I sent a text to my fiance saying I feel funny. I became lightheaded and my heart began to race rapidly and I began to sweat profusely. I began to fan myself with my vaccine paperwork and that’s when the pharmacist noticed I was having a negative reaction. I dropped to the floor out of my seat and at some point took off my mask, watch and shoes because I was feeling so hot. At that point I had my fiance on the phone and he said I couldn’t respond for a minute or so and sounded like hyperventilating. The medics were called and a person was trying to take my blood pressure which ended up being ok. A few minutes of sitting there the medics came in and I was feeling better and responsive. I declined to go to the hospital with them and walked out of the store within 20 minutes of getting the shot. The following several days I was having heart and chest pain and the pain in my arm went away after 2 weeks. I was advised not to get the second dose but to get the J&J. I probably won’t get that kind because of the blood clots going on. Another thing is I was very depressed for about 2-3 weeks following. I’m also scared about the long term effects this could have on us seeing as it’s an unprecedented type of vaccine but I’m also feel a strange sense of protection from Covid since I’m at least half vaxxed

I had my 2nd Moderna shot on April 5th and today, June 7th my arm is killing me. I am taking Tylenols and was told it will get better. The pain wakes me up at night. I have been doing exercises and it is still painful. I am very concern even though the Covid nurse informed me when I called, that I should be fine and to continue taking ibuprofen and use hot and cold pads and to exercise my arm. Any suggestions?

I have the moderna On February 5th. I had no reaction at all but three days later my right foot was very swollen. Had a burning sensation as well couldn’t walk on it. Two rounds of steroids and inflammation went down. March 5th I received my second shot. Minimal reactions. Seems like I was in a fog and a little headache. Six days later I developed vertigo. I’ve never had vertigo in my life. The whole month I was dizzy and have had a severe headache. The headache has not gone away. It has changed my life. Hard to work, workout or even socialize. I have so many test including MRI ( numerous) but they can’t find anything. The headaches are mostly in the top but spread in the back too. Not your normal headache. Anyone have similar symptoms? Going in three months.

I was down for three days after my first shot with pain and fever but this is because I believe I already had covid so my first shot was like my second. I had lumps in my armpit the size of grapes for a full week. Two weeks after the Pfizer shot and my arm keeps going numb. I have pain radiating up my shoulder into my neck. There is no way I am getting my second shot.

Have a few friends whose blood sugar went crazy even up to 18 weeks after the 2nd shot. MY BP went high for about a week 16 weeks of so after. Been over 18 weeks for me now and still have off an on unspecified anxiety which may or not be related. Anyone similar?

Also in response to those who posted earlier, I did have heart palpitations Off and on for the first week after the vaccine and occasionally I still get them. Full heart work up in cardiologist said all was okay, heart rate can be elevated when everybody is mounting a large immune response. Hope this might help some of you were who are worried as I know I am – but trying to be reassured from David Miller’s reply that we will all get past these symptoms in time. (Glad you are well David!) Hoping the best for everyone. My husband and every other person I know had absolutely no side effects from this vaccine other than a fever for a day or some body aches.

Hi all, wanted to post an update. Had first Pfizer vaccine on April 24th. Had the worst fatigue anxiety and insomnia for two-plus weeks. One trip to ER where everything checked out okay but was told I had fatigue and should probably not take the second dose. I have not and will not. Week of 5/17 started feeling back to normal with mild anxiety and insomnia. On 5/21 noticed fatigue and anxiety increasing. On 5/28 diagnosed with facial and eye shingles. Luckily a mild case, but fatigue and anxiety are awful. Dr. Said he has seen many people getting shingles after this vaccine. 2 to 6 weeks recovery hoping after this I will finally be back to my base line. Anyone else suffer from shingles or anxiety? Thankful that I’m at least partially protected from covid-19 will never take another one of these vaccines. 56 year old female.

also after you get your shot take 2 tylenol to bring any fever down.

hi, my name is Jada i am 13, and got my first shot yesterday my arm is a little sore but I got my shot on my left arm and my thumb is itch and sore as if I got a bruise on my thumb it itches like crazy and so does my left foot also my fingertip of my thumb slightly burn on my thumb so what is this??

I received Pfizer vaccine on 4/30/2021 and had a horrible reaction which started out as not being able to taste and my entire mouth felt like I had eaten or drank something scalding hot and my tongue because extremely swollen, red and very painful. My speech was impaired due to the swelling. It seemed like each day it was getting worse. Naturally I went to my physician and told him all of my symptoms and I had taken pictures of my tongue to document it. Nearly 30 days out and my tongue is still not at 100% a portion of it still feels like I’ve burned it. I lost 9 pounds due to not being able to eat or drink. Brushing my teeth was terror because of the minty toothpaste I would actually jump up/down in pain because it burned so bad. I was told not to get the 2nd vaccine and was given a letter on why o would be unable to receive the other dose. I was told that my physician notified VAERS although I’ve never received a call nor email on the adverse anaphylactic reaction.

Hi I am on my 6th day of my sinovac vaccine shot and I am diabetic Type 2 and AB+blood type. I have been tracking my symptoms and eversince I took the vaccine i have observed an erratic unsual health status in a daily basis. Day 1 got a covid vaccinated heavy arm at 8am, then headaches at 10am, pain or lump in my neck at 12 pm, then feeling heat ot hot flushes at 3pm and finally rashes went out at 10pm cant sleep lead me to insomia. Day 2 different story got less of these side effects. Day 3 was just my blurry vision, fainting spells and rashes. I have monitored my blood sugar usually high but on day 1 of my vaccine it was @197 then day 2 @157, day 3 @140. My BP also decreased everyday but before vaccine usually high. I experienced loss of appetite tho, insomia at night because of the rashes that appears and disappears after I take antihistamine cetirizine. That day 3 I got scared because I have never had the lowest blood sugar readings like this 140 since 2018 when I was diagnosed as diabetic person. I experienced blurry vision and fainting spells. Having still a bland appetite, I tried to eat a lot and check my sugar went up to 200. So i felt better no more blurry vision and no more fainting spells. I now tried to maintain my blood sugar at that level because if I go down I experience a lot of uncomfortableness though i should be happy because even without taking my meds or I literally stopped taking metformin, propanalol and losartan for BP, my sugar level keeps going down however it seems my body is not used to it anymore. I have to maintain my blood sugar at 200+ to support my immune system response. I have to eat many sweets to cure my fainting spells and blurry sight. My BP is dropping too and sometimes at the middle while my sugar stays at 200+. Not to mention my rashes in my toes and knees still sometimes bothers but Its easy to make it go away after the antihistamines

What I am trying to say is..the covid 19 sinovac vaccine made my body experience almost normal sugar levels but fluctuating BPs. Also my palpitations were reduced especially in the 1st 3 days. it feels weird to get 70 to 77 pulse rate when I always had 80 to 100 in the past. I dont know of this will help you all. And hoping to hear if others have same experince like me.

I’m 9 days post 2nd Pfizer. Didn’t feel anything after first shot. 2nd shot put me on my ass for two days, flu like symptoms. No big deal. But then began trouble breathing day three, day four heart palpitations which have not stopped. I’m very healthy, workout, don’t drink or smoke and eat very healthy. The only difference in my were the Pfizer shots. Feel exhausted and palpitating won’t stop, out of breath just sitting sometimes. This is awful. Anyone else have similar and recover?

Has anyone had a Stevens -Johnson Syndrome reaction to any of the Vaccinations?

I had major back surgery in December. Back was starting to feel great by early Feb. Had 2nd Moderna vaccination on 3/3/21 and had the typical fever, body aches, fatigue. Nearly 3 months later, the back ache has not gone away. It is different than my back pain pre-surgery, it feels like the body aches from a fever. Ibuprofen hasn’t phased it.

I have reported my heart- burn symptoms since receiving my Pfzer vaccines, everyone needs to let them know so we can hopefully find out how to get rid of it. Please call Vaers at – 800-822-7967 or vaers.hss.gov or so at least they know this is another side effect

Hi, anyone experiencing Tinnitus and did it get better over time? I took the Astrazenea shot and have ringing in my ears. Id love to hear from anyone who experienced this symptom and feels it is slowly subsiding. I am nervous about taking the second shot.

I got my first Pfizer vaccine on April 13, 2021 and second shot on May4, 2021, soon after my first shot I have been getting Heart Burn , this is still going on, I didn’t think anything of this was related to the vaccine until today and have read on several sites people have been reporting it. I have been to my Doctor last week and have blood work done and a Breathe test done, haven’t heard the results about them yet. I have never had a heartburn issue until now, I do hope it goes away soon, and am searching the web for more info on anyone else that has had this issue since the vaccine. If you have had a problem with this since the vaccine, I would appreciate your reply

Hi there, I developed tinnitus (ringing in ears) 3 weeks after taking the 1st dose of Astra Zeneca and other symptoms but the ear ringing is the one that is most affecting my quality of life. On another forum lots of people are reporting the same, I’m so shocked and upset that this and other symptoms people are experiencing here are not being made known to the public. I know they want people taking the vaccines, I think its not fair to the people experiencing these symptoms, there is no support or clear information except on these forums. I wanted to ask did anyone experience tinnitus after any of the vaccines and if so has it eased or resolved for anyone after a period of time. I am hoping the answer is yes and all of this is just temporary for us all. Thanks very much

I got the Pfizer vaccine on 3/17. Since then I’ve been having hives ( swelling and rashes) in different parts of my body. Also my digestive system is not working in a normal way. When I eat. I feel like the food is going nowhere….feels like the food stays between my stomach and the bottom of the esophagus. So far and after 4 doctors….I’ still waiting for a solution to my problems.

Hi now 8 wks since had Astra vaccine and I’m still having painful arm at injection site,does anyone else have this as due for second one and scared if other arm goes the same, thanks s.h

14 days after my first dose of Moderna, my BP shot up from 130 to over 200 and heart beat 120 and difficulty breathing. Went to ER and back to normal after an hour. 5 days later, it strike again but less severe. Did a MRI on adrenal gland it’s normal. Last night, it happen again but BP at 150/100.
Does anyone has similar problems?
Male 58 yrs

I felt perfectly fine for six hours after first Moderna shot, then had bizarre tingling/burning in head, arms, teeth. metallic taste, both arms went numb and I became weak and shakey, my breathing stopped dead for about 4-5 seconds and came back with a gasp, then I had tremours, horrible heart pain and weakness/brainfog/tingling/burning that comes and goes, second day i had vertigo then partial paralysis for a few hours and could not wipe nose or type, it slowly faded, that night I had cheat pain, burning nerves, horrible waking delusions for about 45 min like i was intoxicated, that passed, heart pain has not, weakness has not, tingling weird electrical buzzing comes and goes, scared to get the second shot, scared because nobody is reporting these kind of reactions, scared because they say it doesnt happen, scared because there is no suggested treatment, scared I will have a heart attack or be paralyzed while people insist I must be making it up

does anyone have issues passing gas? since the vaccine i have felt like it’s very hard to burp, and have to even shake to get them out. anyone else? i don’t know why this is happening or how to stop it

The good news after 16 weeks of off and on different side effects including blood pressure increases, headaches, and fatigue, I am back to feeling normal. Just hoping it sticks. Had 2 doses of Pfizer. I would still take the shots.

Arm pain is terrible can barely move my arm, so much worse then the flu shot! The pain started to get better now getting worse

About 9 hours after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine my resting heart rate increased to 120-130 bmp, including while I slept. If I stood up and walked, it increased to 150-160. It stayed at 120-130 for about 26 hours. I went to emergency after the first 18 hours. ECG, blood work and xray were good. My heart rate reduced to about 90 bmp within about 4 days but if I went for a walk it increased to 150 again. It returned to normal (about 65 bmp) within about a week after the vaccine. Anyone else have this experience? Did it happen with dose 2? I haven’t had the second one yet.

My family and I received Pfizer vaccine 4 days ago. My husband had heart palpitations earlier on. I just left ER this morning. Last night, I couldn’t breath. When I stood up, I became dizzy and feeling as a was about to faint. While all of this is occurring, my heart is pounding and beating rapidly. The worse feeling ever.

I got the pfizer vaccine second shot on 5/15 saturday and had worst body pain and fever the next whole day. By monday, i was out of fever and to the most part out of body pain as well. But since that monday, my chest is feeling weird. Having dull pain which radiates to the shoulder blade as well including some thing stuck in the throat or so.. Not sure if any experiencing the same symptoms with Pfizer.. 37 age Male

57 yo female ~After my first injection of Pfizer I almost immediately experienced brain fog, nausea, incredible fatigue, dizziness, shakiness, immense muscle and joint pain all of which are intermittent ~ I never know when I’m going to feel like I will pass out although it is intermittent it is still quite disturbing! I’ve experienced light headaches but they are rare and no noticeable temperature spike. The symptoms have continued with my second injection. I called my doc to ask if it was safe for me to get the vaccine because I have autoimmune issues. I followed up with my him a couple of days ago ~ he said my symptoms are caused by a preexisting liver condition. Even though I didn’t experience any of this prior to the injection. CYA I suppose. It should be noted that my liver is in fairly good health – I also see a Hepatologist at Shands and my liver was in a bit of remission ~ I was doing very well… AND I wasn’t experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms until I received the Pfizer injection(s). I also am worried!

I’m a 60-year-old female. I got my first Pfizer shot on 4/26/21. As the nurse was giving me the shot in my left arm, I could immediately feel it going through my arm, down to my hand. And then one or two seconds later my eyes started burning. I ignored it, thinking I was imagining it because I was nervous about the vaccine in the first place. My eyes stopped burning about a half hour later. Then as I was driving home, I got a weird sensation in my torso which lasted on and off for about two days — it was an internal electric / buzzing / vibrating feeling. So strange, it’s hard to describe. And fatigue in my torso that felt like I had overworked my muscles — but I hadn’t. I also had dark urine the day of the vaccine. I’ve had no symptoms since then, but I’m freaked out about it and didn’t return for my second shot. I decided to hold off for now and follow the vaccination timing that the UK and Canada have rolled out (I live in the U.S.). In an effort to give everyone a chance at a vaccine, they’ve scheduled 2nd shots at 5 – 6 weeks after the first shot so that there’s enough to go around. In my opinion, the UK is always much more sensible when it comes to medicine and protecting their citizens’ health, so I thought I’d follow their example… unless I ultimately decide not to get the 2nd shot at all. I’ve still got a few weeks to think about it.

I had both shot of Pfizer. After the first dose, I had some increased joint pain and headache, nothing too serious. After the second dose, I did feel more tired and have had increased nerve pain in my right hand. I also have noticed my vision goes out of focus slightly at times (which am not sure what that is).

Seems to me one crucial step being left out of the vaccine distribution is prior screening for antibodies. You might make a case that people who’ve already had Covid might need one vaccination as a “booster” (maybe…), but no way in hell do we need to be put through the hell of a second shot. How may studies have to show that our immunity is at least as good or better after one shot than “Covid naive” people’s is after two before these sadists will leave us the hell alone? My arm was rock hard for three days. It’s ten days later, and I’m still dealing with the traveling swelling moving through my body. It’s as if every spot where I’ve been injured is swelling horribly in a pattern starting with the injection site and moving out through the rest of my body. And, hell no, I’ve never experienced ANYTHING like this before. I just hope I didn’t cooperate with my own maiming…

I had the moderna 5 days ago the following day I had a really bad pain in my arm no rash just bad pain but now iv been left with an aching arm that just wont go away

I received the first dose of Pfizer last Friday (May 7). Initially I just felt tired, maybe had a few aches and chills the next day, and the injection site on my arm was sore and stiff, but it went away by the Sunday following my appointment and overall I felt normal. Come Wednesday of this week, I have had the worst body aches and chills imagineable and I am dreadfully fatigued and weak. I feel like my limbs weigh 100 pounds each, and any sort of physical activity requires a nap afterwards. I’ve been taking Tylenol and Advil for the aches but they’re not helping…I want to believe this is normal while my body responds to the vaccine but I’m worried!

I got the pyzier vaccine on the 28/04/2021 and only side effect I have had is heart palpitations. Have them non stop ever since first dose. Had everything checked out in ER and all came back fine. Have no idea what is going on. Doctors don’t know either. Feel very lost and just praying they go away naturally

If anyone who also got J&J or is experiencing similar symptoms please let me know. I’m on week 5 and am still struggling.

I got J&J on April 8th. April 12th I started feeling weird head sensations such as head tingling, head pressure, and random shocks or electric sensations. By April 20th it got worse, I was still dealing with head pressure that would turn to itching and tingling, then ice pick head aches and electric shock feelings on random parts of my head. The itching and tingling and shocks were more situated above my upper neck and lower head. This is when I went to the ER, I got a CT scan and an MRI. They transferred me because they thought they saw a thrombosis in my head, but the second ER CT scan confirmed it’s not.

I saw my doctor on the 26th after this and she said it’s head inflammation. I tried taking magnesium and anti inflammatories since then, but the inflammation will not go down. Still dealing with swelling head, ice pick head aches and random shocks.

I went to the ER on May 9th, got another MRI and it was clear. So that’s 2 CT’s and 2 MRI’s at this point, 3 of those (minus the possible thrombosis one) are CLEAR.

As of today May 13th, I do not feel the electric shock sensations or the ice pick head aches, but now when I do too much activity (even as simple as talking) my brain feels like it’s swelling up again then it’s gets itchy and tingly. My body will also feel feverish. My head as well will feel hot or feverish in some spots when it swells up. Temp is normal.

I feel like my supplements are helping but majorly slow. I’m scared and want to get better, please let me know if you had similar symptoms and when they stopped.

So I went to the ER again on

I am in Canada. I had a first dose of Astrazeneca on April 20, first 2 days I had the ususal chills and under the weather feeling. A week later I develolped tinnitus, joint/muscle pain in arms and legs, and high blood preassure, never had any of this before. Doctor requested bloodwork that came back normal. More than 3 weeks after the vaccination I am still having the same issues

My tongue started tingling and then it went numb about 15 minutes after the 1st Pfeizer shot. One month later my tongue is still tingling, burning, and in pain. All my saliva glands are swollen nd my mouth and nose are extremely dry. I do not see dry mouth in the listed side effects, but this is what I got. Doctors currently trying to figure out whether the vaccine triggered a Sjogren’s syndrome, or whether it is a severe case of dry mouth. I do not produce saliva because of the vaccine. All the doctors that I visited are saying they got inundated with patients with adverse reactions of the vaccine. However, they do not report them to the CDC. It is not fair, and sooner or later it will destroy the trust in the vaccines. Hiding, and lying is not the way to go. All side effects should be investigated and listed.

It has been 2 weeks since my second Pfizer vaccine shot. No side effects after the 1st but the 2nd triggered an on/off again fever of 102-103, chills, back pain, a short helmet headache for 24 hours, almost on the dot. Yet, I’ve still been battling a mild-moderate headache with a stiff neck, loss of appetite/waves of nausea. The headache feels like tension and a burning/tingling. Was pretty bad (as in ‘always on’, no reprieve) for ~ a week. Could not work well (writer, stare a laptop screen most days) and could also not lay down without stronger burning pain. Urgent care had me take my first COVID test (negative) and instructed that I could take Ibu (3 pills, 3 times a day for 3 -4 days). It’s not gone yet, so they said the next step could be a steroid or muscle relaxer. I plan to visit my doctor next week to discuss further (after they instructed I call the CDC, and then the CDC instructed I call my PCP). Have been meditating this week and have hopes to get some cardio in to try alternate relaxation and pain mgt techniques. Never had headaches longer than a few hours. Keeping stress low helps manage while I wait… (To note, the urgent care doc did acknowledge they had seen vaccine side effects lasting longer than 2-3 days, but I was definitely an outlier.)

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. This helps too – knowing I’m not the only one.

It’s been 19 days since my second dose (Moderna), some days I’m ok other days I’m having episodes of dizziness, sinus pressure, anxiety, and slightly high blood pressure. I’ve seen my doctor, all test results come back normal not sure what else to do but if anyone has any suggestions or advice that would be greatly appreciated.

Any one here got the Sinovac jab? I had my 1st dose on April 9. After about an hour I experienced palpitations, fluctuating blood pressure readings and head ache. I had those for several days. I got my 2nd dose last May 7 and felt the same things. I am just hoping that there won’t be long term effects on my/ our body(ies).

Hello! Has anyone else had stomach issues since the second vaccine? I got mine late March, but since then have had weird stomach issues, troubles with gas/burping and chest pains, like acid reflux and I have NEVER experienced that before

Side effects flaring up a week after first shot– I got my first shot of Moderna on 5/1 and had pretty bad soreness around the injection spot the first night and the following day, to the extent that I needed help taking off my clothes. Then it was progressively better through the next two days and by the third day it had mostly disappeared. However, precisely a week (7 days) after, the soreness in the arm flared up again during the day. Then in the night I woke up several times (which was unusual for me) for no clear reason. The next morning I woke up feeling burning in my stomach. Then the whole day I felt body aches, fatigue, and sensitive skin, much like the feeling of getting a cold. I had low-degree fever in the evening. So far the side effects are not getting worse.

Hello all! I received my first Pfizer vaccination on 4/29 and two hours after getting my shot I started having heart palpitations. I have been having them non stop since then. I went to urgent care and the ER and they did EKG’s and check my heart enzyme levels and other bloodwork and everything came back normal. Has anyone else experienced this?

I got my first Pfizer shot on the 29th of April, today is 9th of May.
The day I got the shot I felt normal till 5 hours later when I tried to eat something and was hit with nausea so I went straight to bed.
The next day the nausea was gone and I felt mostly normal but my vision was weird like I was looking at the world through a fishbowl which made me slightly dizzy. Looking at computers made(/makes) it worse so it’s been hard to get any work done. Arm was sore for a couple days but just like after a brutal workout, though more localized. No big deal on that part.
The next day I was exhausted and slept most of the day and would wake up drenched with sweat. Not much of an appetite and nausea after I would eat anything.
The day after that my energy levels were about 50% back to normal but I had a migraine which I do not get. Also noticed pretty strong pain on top-left side of my scalp.
The next day I was still exhausted and would nap on and off throughout the day, my vision was still weird and worse when I would look at the computer and couldn’t concentrate for very long on anything without becoming exhausted. Had a really severe stomach cramp and had to run to the bathroom but just once and then that side effect subsided.
Each day since has been a combination of a slightly less severe headache, slightly better energy levels, slightly less nausea after I eat, and slightly less messed up vision, but all are still persisting.
Just wondering how long it will take for all this to go away, if it will all go away, and if it’s a bad idea for me to get the second dose.
I have chronic pain from an old accident and other health issues and was nervous that the vaccine might make that worse, but am happy to report that it hasn’t done that (at least so far).
I’m a very sensitive person and often experience bad side effects so honestly I was expecting worse than this, I just didn’t realize it would be going on for this long which is disheartening, and the vision disturbance is really unnerving.

Had my 1st Moderna shot on Wed (May 5) in my left arm. Had site injection soreness that prevented me from sleeping on that side for 2 nights. Mild headaches in the morning that went away with lots of hydration. Also had an odd tingling sensation on the left side/front of my torso around the waistline that comes and goes. It’s similar to that tingling when your limbs fall asleep and just before the pins and needles start. Seems to come in waves and feels like its about 1cm below the skin surface. I’ve read about tingling limb reactions with Moderna, but not tingling torsos. The soreness and headaches are subsiding, but the tingling seems to be getting stronger and more frequent today (Day 3). Planning on phoning our local health advisory line if this continues into day 5.

Hi there – I’m scheduled to get my second shot a week from today (Pfizer). I was very anxious about getting vaccinated in the first place, but managed to get through Shot 1. Never felt fluish or sick, but did feel like I was on Mars for 2-3 days right after the shot, with really bad brain fog, and I got a bit of pain at the base of the skull (which I think is lymph node inflammation?). Now my eyes are super irritated and red, and I look like I was run over by a truck. I feel fairly OK, but I look sick! Especially because of the eye irritation. I’m wondering if it’s allergic conjunctivitis. I found folks suffering from this on another site, but haven’t seen a lot of eye symptoms here. Some of those people skipped shot 2, others just took a lot of Benadryl and soldiered forward. One person said their eye doctor told them their eyes were full of histamine. Wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this. I found a lot of eye incidents in VERS but nothing super specific or helpful. I am hoping to get shot 2, but a little worried if my immune system is revved up in an unhelpful way (I do have mild autoimmune stuff). I’m going to try to get an appointment with the eye doctor on Monday, or maybe just go straight to a clinic to see what a medical person says about shot 2. My primary care doctor has a negative opinion of the speed at which these vaccines were rolled out so unfortunately I don’t feel like I can ask him for help, he straight out told me he feels like he does not have enough data yet to give me a helpful opinion about it. Thanks, and I hope everyone who’s been experiencing worrisome or just weird or annoying side effects are starting to feel better.

Was given second Moderna shot 2 months ago in my right arm. I wasn’t thinking that has an old college swimming injury. Yes it swelled and hurt. Went on for 2 weeks , took pain and anti inflammatory meds, also iced it. After 2 weeks I stretched with arms back and felt shoulder pop back into place. By this time it got into my nerves so of course now I had lower neck pain. It is finally getting better with Chiropractic care and acupuncture . Been doing some research and it seems the people like myself had an old underlying condition or infection that the vaccination exacerbated.

For the record and for anyone reading this which will be a small few I’m a M45 and the only option for me here in Canada for a vaccine is the AstraZeneka shot as I don’t qualify for any others with the current Gov restrictions on available vaccines and age brackets.

April 25th

4:00 pm – I’m heading to get my vaccine after 1.5years of this COVID crap. I’m
A bit nervous as it’s the AstraZeneka one but it can’t be any worse then having COVID like I did for 110 days last year right? https://imgur.com/gallery/0cho1aq

4:40pm – I’m at Shoppers DrugMart (Canadian Walgreens) for my scheduled appointment at 4:50pm. Really nervous about side effects and blood clots etc but I know the risks are severely low.

4:50pm – I get the needle after the nurse tells me that she will explain the side effects after the injection…huh? I ask why she doesn’t tell me them prior and she says because you might not get it. I told her that’s a very weird thing to say to people and she said she’s been instructed to administer the dose then tell patients about the side effects. I already knew about the side effects so I wasn’t concerned but still a very strange way to be approaching this delicate situation at this time

5:15 – I was instructed to stay 15min after the shot in the pharmacy incase of any immediate reactions. I felt a bit strange with heart racing but I think it was just my nerves. The needle did not hurt at all. I head home.

7pm – I’m feeling kind of blah… not sick but just blah… my arm doesn’t hurt and all as well.

April 26

5:45am – I wake up completely soaked and shaking I can immediately tell I have a high fever. I use the thermometer to check my temperature it’s 102.1°. I verbally say out loud “Fuck”…

6:10am – inuse all my Jedi training to force myself out of bed to walk to the medicine cabinet and I take one extra strength Advil. My body is sweating and shaking horribly. I’m both cold and hot at the same time with waves of goosebumps flowing from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. This does not feel the way I perceived the symptoms I read about after getting the shot.

9am – No change and temperature hasn’t dropped and my body aches are surreal. Same feeling I had in my body when I had Covid last year is happening right now and it’s scary. I tell myself “you can’t get COVID from the vaccine” and other than the breathing difficulty I had when I had Covid all the familiar feeling are back again. The oxygen thingy that you put on your finger to measure blood oxygen I bought on Amazon says I have 100% oxygen in my body and my heart rate is at 102bpm. But the shaking and feeling in my lungs and my chest and the high fever are identical to what I had last year. For fuck sakes…I’m regret getting the shot now and curse society for promoting this as a safe thing to do.

1pm – I must have passed out sound asleep as I woke up feeling much much better. Take my temperature and it’s 98.6°. No headache no bodyaches I stand up out of bed a little lightheaded but feel pretty much normal! It must’ve passed now and my body has made the antibodies needed for the first dose. Whew…

6pm – On the couch watching Groundhog Day the fever hit me like a truck jumping off a 200’ cliff and landing at the bottom. Within just a few minutes I went from being perfectly fine watching Phil relive his day over and over to being on what can only be deaths door that Phil would be envious about. My body immediately started aching all over and the coldness of the room is seeping into my bones. I crawl upstairs and head to bed.

6:10pm – Take two extra strength Advil and go lay down. The fever is at 102° and though I’m extremely warm I’m not sweating but my eyes balls are burning. I try to sleep but can’t and the thought of Groundhog Day is in my head and the horror of having to relive this day would be brutal. I lay in bed staring at the ceiling regretting not being religious.

11pm – Fever is at 101° and the pain in my lower back and stomach is getting worse. It’s like I’ve been shovelling snow and the plow just drove by and now I have just removed 4’ of ice from the end of the driveway and my muscles inside are strained to the max. I just realized that I’ve peed a lot over the day. At least 10 times and it’s been completely clear like pure water. Very weird as I’m not drinking this much water… where is it coming from??!

April 27

7:35am – Wake up to a 100° fever and feel like I’ve been beaten up, I’m not taking any Advil and going to let my body do it’s thing because it’s natural to have a fever and taking anything might stop or delay the process of the vaccine. It’s natural to feel this way.

7:43am – I gobble two extra strength Advil.

8:45am – Fever is back up to 101.4° with body chills and aches all over. My teeth are rattling I’m so cold…ugh… this is fucking horrible. Why did I do this to myself?!? Stupid society pressuring me to inject this microchip ooze of Bill Gates ball sweat.

1:00pm – Wake up to full body sweats. I think the fever broke but the pain in my lower back and stomach is still there. I’ve peed 6 times in 3 hours, all completely clear. How. Is. This. Possible?? I drink about 4-6 ounces of water after each pee to make sure I’m not dehydrating myself.

10:16pm – No change in symptoms 101.8° fever and pain in abdominal is worse now. I rate it a 6.5 out of ten on a pain scale. I called Telehealth Ontario to speak to a nurse and they said they will call me back in 9 hours. 9 hours?? What a joke. My Canadian privilege kicks in and I pay my taxes and want a nurse now!! I call the hospital to see if I should come in and they tell me not to come unless I feel my life is in danger. Wtf! How do I know if my life is danger?!? Now I’m regretting the shot more then ever and tell myself I will NEVER get the second one. I’ll take my chances with the Rona and at this point I’m pretty sure I’m now anti vaccine and anyone that’s willing to do this to them selves is a sheep. Sheeple. They are sheeple.

April 28

12:20pm – Woke up from what must have been a 13 hour sleep and BAM!

I’m normal again.

Wtf…I get of bed like Phil on day two completely confused and say out loud “What the hell..?”

I feel 100% with no fever, no pains, arm doesn’t hurt any longer and I’m flabbergasted at being back to normal. It’s surreal to feel like this when the last three days have been hell.

As I’m making a coffee looking outside at the sun shinning and birds tweeting in the distance I think to myself I’m not sure why everyone is crying over the vaccine symptoms. It’s really no big deal and these people are just being babies.

I look forward to my second shot now and being even more powerful against the Rona and as I’m walking to the backyard to drink my coffee I catch myself whistling I Got You Babe.

8 Days after my 1st Pfizer dose, I got frequent heart palpitations that lasted 6 days. I went to an Urgent Care, and of course it wasn’t happening when they did the EKG, but told me anything happening 7+ days after the vaccine isn’t related and to get the 2nd shot. That week the palpitations finally went away and I went for my 2nd dose. Now, 8/9 days after my 2nd dose I am once again having palpitations for days, and this time way more frequent and stronger. I don’t normally have palpitations aside from a random one here n there, and definitely never lasting 6 straight days. The only new thing in my life was the vaccine. I am going to see a new Dr so hopefully they don’t just brush it off

Exact symptoms happened 1 week after both Pfizer injection. 1st shot was on 4/9 then on 4/16 @7am extreme burning in stomach, nausea, dizziness and clammy feeling. Lasted for 10-15 min. 2nd shot on 4/30 and on 5/7 @7:15am exact same symptoms happened. Never experienced anything like this in my 52 years. So I have to assume it’s the covid vaccine causing this..

Like several others, I experienced a longer term reaction to the first mRNA vaccine, including 3 weeks of headaches that progressively became better. The biggest concern was that I wasn’t sure the cause of my body’s longer term reaction, plus this side effect isn’t mentioned anywhere on the CDC website. My primary care physician was not sure of the risk of a second vaccine given my reaction to the first vaccine. My question: have any of you in a similar situation gotten the second vaccine? If so, what was your reaction to the second vaccine? And have you found an immunologist/other doctor who could offer advice? FWIW – I think vaccination is really important. I just want to do so in a way that is safe for my body and wondering if some people (particularly younger women) may be less able to tolerate the vaccine. Thanks so much!

I also suffered head tingling/numbness type feelings in the scalp/head after both moderna shots. After the 1st shot, which I got in the left arm, I got an odd cool, numb, tingling feeling in the back of my head on the left side 2 hours post injection (in addition to chills, fatigue and low grade temp for a few days). The scalp sensatins lasted on and off for two days. I asked for the second shot to be given on the right side on April 29th telling the person that I wanted to conduct my own experiment to see if it would happen on my right side this time. Sure enough, at the 3.5 hour mark, I felt the cold, numb feeling (not a normal headache feeling) on the right side of my head/scalp. I am now six days post shot and I still have the same symptoms. For full disclosure, I have had altered nerve sensations in the past after a car accident (carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve injury) so I was not shocked. Hopefully, it will go away soon!

The fact that my side effects are becoming less gives me hope they will abate fully. Going on week 14.
Anyone else?

During my first and second shots of Pfizer, I started getting palpitations 5 hours after the shot. The palpitations were pretty frequent and bothering. On the second day, they still kept happening, but not as frequently. On the third day, they pretty much disappeared. The same happened with my wife, but she had a more severe case along with tachycardia. During the first shot, I had numbed fingers 15 minutes after the shot for about 15-20 minutes. Nothing like this during the second shot. We both had a painful injection site during the first night – I woke up from pain several times during the night, and my wife had much more severe pain. The pain subsided on days 2 and 3 and disappeared. I also suddenly started having tinnitus again too. And for days, my vision was more blurred than normally, but after 2 weeks, it got back to normal.

This is not just yet another vaccine. I’m fully vaccinated, and I never had any problem with any other vaccine outside of sourness in the shot site for a day! Now, this is something else.

I had my 1st shot April 1st 2021. No bad side effects, thought everything was good. Well 8 days later I had really bad chest pains on left side under breast and above. Hot flashes, arm falling asleep.. Went to er everything checked out fine. Got my 2nd shot April 30th, 5 days later chest pains are back. Other than that I felt fine just sleepy. I had Pfizer. I’ve never experienced chest pains before but it’s super worrisome.

Hi All, I was trying to find out if anyone out there has had insomnia
after receiving the Moderna vaccine. And if your issues have resolved or are resolving. I am 6 weeks out since the 1st dose and still struggling with falling asleep for hours and maintaining sleep and only getting 4-5 hours if I am lucky. I never had sleep issues prior to getting the vaccine. PLEASE share your progress and any tips on what worked is working for you. Thank you.

I dont know what to do. I am afraid to get the vaccine, afraid of the side effects and if it could hurt me or permanently hurt me. when i was a child i was told i was allergic to the smallpox vaccine and i did not get that one. I also am a higher risk if i catch covid i have high blood pressure am over 50 and over weight too. I also have asthma and i was told i am at a risk for blood clots in general. I dont want to not be able to live life, or stay inside all of the time, so getting the vaccine would help that, but i am afraid. A friend told me that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine may have less side effects, but i wonder if that is so.

I got the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine four weeks ago. I experienced inflammation in my joints that lasted two days with the first shot. I had only a mild headache after the second. Since then though I have had three instances of swelling of my hands and pain in my joints along with migraines. I am concerned about the migraines, as they are interfering with my ability to work and sleep. What can we do if these side effects keep us from working? The federal government has asked us to take the vaccine. Will they care for us if it takes our livelihood away?

I received my Moderna dose #1 on April 9. Today marks Day 21 and still experiencing many symptoms. I am a 27 yr old female, very active with absolutely no prior health issues and eat a whole foods/anti inflammatory diet. 3 hours after the shot I was working and experienced severe pain/stiffness in the back of my neck- following that I could feel intense tingling in the back of my head/scalp. My face starting burning and felt very stiff like my neck. I got scared and went to bed that night hoping it would go away. The next day (and ever since) I’ve experienced tingling in my face, particularly the left side of my nose. For the next week I had lots of face/scalp tingling, chest felt tight, face felt very tight/stiff (both sides), dizziness, brain fog, tiredness, intense back pain, sound sensitivity, sensations (throbbing/tingling) in hand on injection side, and plugged ears. Sometimes the back pain would seem like it would travel from my ribs and down to my glutes/ham strings. Mostly lower back pain though. At one point the scalp sensations/sensitivity was so intense, I would grab my hair and drop it and it felt like I dropped 10 pounds. After one week and talking to my doctor I tried 3 days of prednisone, but don’t think it helped. As things progressed, I had an intense headache on the injection side from the top of my head, down my neck and jaw, and down to my collar bone/shoulder. I’ve never had pain like that!! It was especially bad/sensitive behind my ears. I think lymph node swelling? Because my glasses felt tighter there and almost hurt to put on. I still experience the behind ear pain, both sides, intermittently. When I had the left side head pain, I experienced significant tightness in my left side forehead/eyelid – it felt like my eyelid was opening slower than the other after blinking. After week 1 I also started to get the muscle spasms/twitching a lot of people are talking about. For me, it started one night when I was trying to sleep on my right side. My right arm and right abs starting spasming so bad, it was crazy. I am a side sleeper and it’s been torture for weeks I’ve had to lay on my back because I’d get the head/neck/shoulder pain on my left and spasms on my right.

Day 10 I noticed eye floaters – sometimes appearing like blurry spots but most of the time they are black. Finally by the 2 week mark, my face started to feel a LITTLE better. My stiffness/muscle tightness in the forehead and eyelid seemed to loosen up. The tingling in my nose felt a little better (by Day 21 mark it’s still there a bit, but better). Day 14-16 had some wilddd muscle spasms at nighttime. Day 15 I also noticed face swelling- big dents on my nose where my glasses rested! So fast forward to today, Day 21. The muscle spasms are better but I definitely still get some and random twitches. They are throughout all parts of my body- abs, back, neck, arms, legs, eyelids, lips. They happen throughout the day but most often at nighttime. But I think those are making progress. I still have the black eye floaters- no progress there yet. I notice them really bad when outside. My nose tingling is much better but still there. There’s probably been two days so far I barely noticed it. Also, sometimes I do think I have a little tingle the top of my head still. No dizziness, face swelling, brain fog or anything like that anymore thankfully; had a minor headache for three days this week but it’s gone! However, I’m still having lower back pain and plugged ears, but seems to be improving. And last but not least, just when I thought everything was getting less intense, a new symptom arises. Yesterday I woke up to the weirdest buzzing feeling in my left calf. It was not a muscle spasm, it literally felt like buzzing. It would then stop and go all day. Today (Day 21) I wake up and it was intense!!!!!! Literally my foot too, just buzzing. I can feel it subtle too in both my hands. What the! Something with the nerves. So I took prednisone and we will see how that goes.

I’ve been taking motrin constantly, eating anti-inflammatory, taking epsom salt baths, meditating, working out, sleeping 8 hours, and basically trying to do everything I can lol, and sadly it’s completely affected my work/normal life. I have tried to minimize my stress because I can tell the symptoms act up when I’m worried! I’m constantly talking to my primary care doctor and a neurologist, who are stumped. Took multiple covid tests, 2 blood work samples, MRI/MRA, and everything is coming back normal. Neurologist ordered script for EMG which I will schedule but seems like everyone keeps saying time will heal it. Maybe some autoimmune issue where immune system attacked nerves, or inflammation?? No clue. Trying another round of prednisone, started Day 1 today. Stumped about the eye floaters, if those don’t improve next week I might schedule an apmt with eye specialist. Anyone else with floaters? I’ve seen posts about blurry vision.

So that’s the latest. I’m hoping I read some success stories. So far one symptom gets better and another one arises. I’m never one to post on these but felt comfort there’s other people out there like me. I recognize these symptoms uncommon so surprised it happened to me. I still think it’s great people get the shot, but for me personally I’ve decided to not take the second one. Thank you all for posting your stories, and if you are experiencing this too, know that you are not alone!

Hello all,
56 yo female got 1st pfizer vac last Sat. High bp and dizzy for 15 mins then ok. Shook uncontrollably for ride home. Went to bed for 5 hrs bp mildly up arm sore otherwise was ok. Sunday woke up with not much arm pain and heavy fatigue with weak and shaky legs. That is still continuing as of today 4/30. Have had no appetite, 1 round today of bright yellow poop(sorry for the graphic) Called primary doctor and he told me to go to ER. Upon arriving there today did all tests on my liver and other organs as well as for anemia Etc everything came back normal. ER doc said I was fatigued and dehydrated. Said he assumed it was from the vaccine, and I should not take the second dose. He did not want to head to comment on how long I would still feel this way, but hope that I would improve within the next few days. I have been running a fever between 98.9 and 99.944 days. My blood pressure and resting heart rate Jump around but haven’t got too out of control since this started. I was just looking to see if any of you were still fatigued after 6 days or longer? It has flared up my health anxiety and I was really hoping someone else might have felt bad for this long and recovered. Blessings to all of you and hoping that all of us get to feeling well soon. Thanks for any and all replies.

Just looking to see if anyone has had any kidney pain after shot. Got the Moderna shot at about 1:30 on Wed. That afternoon I had bad pain on one side. The pain was so bad in the middle of the night it woke me up. Thurs. still had pain but not as bad. This is Fri. and I am fine. I have had kidney infections I know that is how they feel but never have been in so much pain It woke me up. Plus would it come and go so quick?

I started experiencing heart palpitations about a week after my second Pfizer shot. I am NOT a medical professional, but here is what has been helping me the past few days (my palpitations are now more mild and less frequent after two days of the below regimen):
– I take a zinc/calcium/magnesium supplement (magnesium has been suggested here and elsewhere to improve palpitations, but I did not notice an improvement by taking magnesium alone)
– I take a quercetin supplement (there seems to be some evidence that quercetin helps Covid symptoms [https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04377789] and vaccine side-effects, from what I’ve heard, may also be from a similar kind of inflammation)
– I take a turmeric supplement for its anti-inflammatory properties
– I’ve been doing my best to eat less inflammatory foods (dairy, sugar) and more anti-inflammatory ones (spicy foods, tart cherries)

I have moderate health anxiety at times, so I can’t guarantee this is not placebo, but I wanted to share to give others on here some optimism. I’m so sorry for those that are suffering — it is scary for us to be in uncharted territory. I hope this is able to help others.

I am really happy I found this site. I am on day 8 of strange side effects. I am a 36 y/o female with no health issues and have never had Covid. I had the normal side effects of two days of 101 fever, headaches, aches etc. Once the fever subsided, I started getting high blood pressure, severe sinus and ear pressure, tingling in my head, blurred vision, loss of appetite and dizziness/lightheadedness and foggy. Everyday, I think it is getting better but today started experiencing elevated heart rate while resting. My normal resting heart rate is 60 bpm and mine is hovering 70-95, which is very abnormal for me. My headache is still lingering a bit, and I started taking antihistamines to help incase its related to allergies.

I went to urgent care and spoke to my doctors and no medical professional will admit it is from the vaccine, which is very disappointing but not surprising, they have no idea what this vaccine will do to people. I am glad I got the vaccine just really want to feel normal again and I definitely do not feel myself.

Again, every day is getting better but its impairing my ability to work, drive and just live. Hope it subsides soon, really hate living like this.

I just posted a “reply” to my initial post for second vaccine outcomes to keep it all bundled.

I am a 49 year old female. I received my second Moderna shot Monday morning. By the evening I experienced aches, chills, fever and sweating which I was prepared for after reading the possible side effects. When I woke up during the night, I started laughing uncontrollably for almost 30 minutes with repetitive speech. I have never experienced anything like it and have not found anyone with a similar side effect. I took Tylenol, but stopped after a day of a racing heartbeat, not knowing if it was the vaccine or the Tylenol. Side effects are gone as of Thursday morning. The vaccine is worth it and I consider side effects to be minor, though now I’m very curious about the uncontrollable laughing and repetitive speech. I previously suffered from Bells Palsy 14-15 years ago.

Hello. I had my first Moderna vaccine March 29. Post-vaccine I experienced sore and swollen arm at vaccine site and slight fatigue. I had my second vaccine April 26. I experienced a slight burning sensation at vaccine site. Within 5 minutes I experienced a pins-and-needle sensation down that arm and hand. The staff on-site said that was normal. It went away with an hour. About 12 hours after the shot, I awoke with a 101 fever. The entire next day I ran a low-grade fever and felt like I had the flu. I also had a headache. Tylenol helped. Forty-eight hours later, I experienced fatigue and a sour stomach. Three days post-vaccine I am experiencing a sour stomach, lack of appetite, and feel not quite myself. I’m hoping it resolves soon.

Hello all. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It has helped me navigate mine. I am a 46yo female, reasonably fit, thin, with asthma. I also have a history of sensitivity to medications, my body just seems to metabolize them differently than an average person. I often end up dealing with side effects at lower dosages or side effects that are listed as ‘uncommon’ (or not at all). And vaccines in the past have hit hard. So, I guess I am not surprised to find myself here and I still believe vaccines are better for the vast majority of the population. I’m just adding my bit so if others are experiencing the same issues we can help each other.

I had my first Pfizer dose April 16th. I felt a very mild tingling in the fingertips of my left arm (injection arm) but nothing else in the next few hours. My arm wasn’t even sore. By that night I had a bit of a foggy brain, tightness in my scalp, and pressure across the front of my head. Nothing too bad, nothing I couldn’t deal with. The next day I was exhausted and slept quite a bit. My eyes were quite watery (for several days). The brain fog increased as the day passed, the tightness in my scalp increased and started down into my neck, mild stabbing headache in my temples, my ears felt full (like they needed to pop), and a mild burning sensation at the crown of my head began. The tingling in my fingertips became bilateral. Again, nothing I couldn’t deal with for a couple of days. The next day I noticed the same slight fuzzy tingling in spots on the bottoms of both feet, over 48 hours it became the whole bottom of both feet and moved into my calves. Over the course of the next few days the tingling in my feet, legs, hands, arms would increase and become chronic. The burning at the crown of my head was also chronic and more intense. The pressure at the front disappeared and I would get throbbing headaches in my temples instead (mostly at night), tightness in the sides and back of my head/scalp increased. Towards evening and overnight all of these things become more intense. Overnight I would wake up with some pretty extreme pins and needles in my arms, hands, feet, legs, back & sides of head, neck (sometimes radiating into my shoulders). And every few days something seemed to migrate (like into my neck, shoulders, back, further up my legs, etc). My back muscles started to tremble at times; eventually, for a couple of days, they actually started that same zapping, pins and needles. I had some mild intermittent jerking motions at night early on (mostly my neck and back/shoulders), which went away in 4 days. After a few days more my palms and arms stopped tingling. At 12 days out the legs are less intense but still chronic, still worse at night. Headaches in my temples at night, foggy brain. And I still have the burning at the crown of my head, though less intense. None of it woke me up last night for the first time since it started. I did have some pressure in my chest and diaphragm yesterday (new and lasted about 36 hours) that turned into sharper pains (I’m thinking lymph inflammation- I know they said no mammograms for a couple of weeks afterwards due to that). Oh, also lymph pressure/pain at night in my thighs, that’s been going on since day 2 or 3; it makes my legs ache and feel cold. And some very mild tinnitus that comes and goes (also at night, I’ve had some issues with it in the past, it’s just more persistent at this point). I’ve spoken to my allergist who isn’t sure if it’s a type of allergic reaction or just an inflammatory one. I’ll have a follow up next week and drop back in to update if I find anything that helps. Good luck to everyone dealing with some of these strange things.

I joined this discussion a while back because I am dealing with pain after my second Pfizer vaccine given to me on 3/15. 6 weeks later, after -X-Rays, blood work and my PCP and Pain Mgmt. Physician, I was just given some meds but not pain meds because my body does not tolerate pain meds well. My RIBS on my right side are in constant pain— it has nothing to do with breathing—I had costochondritis a while back -and now I either have chronic costochondritis or I may have shingles without a rash. I had researched everything prior to the diagnosis from the pain mgmt. doctor. I will be on the medications–Meloxicam-NSAID-higher dose and works better than OTC meds and at night, I was given Gabapentin for nerve pain. It seems that I also may have intercostal neuralgia. Keep in mind, that my vaccines were given in my left arm but my right side has been affected by this. I also had swelling and pain in my right arm pit but that went away. The rib pain is hard to deal with and I keep reading all of these comments daily and I am so sorry that we are all going through this. I most likely would have waited to get the vaccine if I had known about all of these “unusual” side effects because it has changed my quality of life as I am sure, many of you feel the same way. I specifically took the vaccine because I am in the high risk group because I have COPD and did not want to go near anyone because fear has been a constant with me since the pandemic began. I am not advertising my side effects to anyone via social media because I do believe that the majority of people do fine with the vaccine and we are the minority. I have so many relatives and friends that took the vaccines with no complications whatsoever and I come on here to see what else is happening to many of us. I also have to wear an extra large lidocaine patch for 12 hours a day on my ribs extending into my back. This makes life a bit more pleasant. I have my next doctor’s appointment next week and I will most likely get an MRI. I am very grateful for this site because it’s a bit more comforting to know others are going through this with me. While I wish none of us were, it makes me realize that our side effects are being reported and hopefully VAERS and the CDC will publish these unusual side effects. Thinking of all of you and sending you positive vibes.

My husband and I had our 2nd Moderna shot…nothing happened to me but my husband got all the flu symptoms which disappeared after 2 days..then exactly 2 weeks after the 2nd shot my husband feels sick again…slight fever, tender stomach, constipated, dark urine…he is usually very healthy and eats right…anyone else have symptoms 14 days after?
