So I was wondering if anyone had severe insomnia and recovered, and how long. I’m on 6 months and it is killing me. Someone please give me some hope. Thanks
I did have sleep troubles initially but I started to sleep with a weighted blanket and started taking melatonin as that’s a anti inflammatory medication. And I also started taking vitamin c, vitamin d, I take my daily iron because my iron had been low for couple years I’m not compliant with that but this time around I am compliant. And I also started taking quercetin twice daily and gluathione three times a day…ohh and Flonase at bedtime. Seems to help a bit.
@margaret2022 Is there a phone number to Dr. Patterson"s office
There’s actually a telemedicine consult you can sign up for online. It’s on the you tube channel there’s a link on that forum. Hope it helps

Do you take the Flonase and melatonin both at bedtime? How are you doing ?

The Flonase helps with my hearing sensitivity..a bit..better than it was but anything can trigger it to go all wonky and cause weird feeling in my head along with dizziness…yeah I do one spray in each nostril ineptness lay down right away I usually take it an hour or half hour before bed along with 10mg of melatonin…
Hi, I am new here
My mom 68, is having exactly the same issues like you mentioned.
She started having dizziness and high BP after getting booster shot covishield in Jan30th 2022 , she is in India. She went to Cardiologist,neuologist all tests came negative.
She takes BP and dizziness medicines in the morning and night but nothing seems to work, now her BP is like 139/80 but still have lot of dizziness.
We are so worried about her condition. She was a very active person and now after the covid booster her life has changed.
Can you please share the medication name you took for dizziness.
Any information will be helpful.
Thanks,
Riya

I am unvaccinated because I have Meniere’s and am concerned about anecdotal reports of vestibular reactions to the covid vaccines. I have rotational vertigo episodes, hearing loss, fullness/pressure in my ears, fluctuating tinnitus (sometimes so loud it drives me crazy), and panic attacks (although not for a few years).
Recently I had a conversation with a Mayo Clinic vaccinologist who suffered severe tinnitus onset after his 2nd Pfizer vaccination which continues to this day. He says it is horrible. Interestingly, as the head of research at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN, he is now calling for more research on adverse vestibular reactions (especially tinnitus and vertigo) following covid vaccinations. He suggested that since I already have symptoms and am afraid of them worsening after a vaccination that I try Evusheld monoclonal antibody injections to prevent severe covid instead of Pfizer or Modern. He also talked about all of the anecdotal evidence HE’S hearing and reading about from people like you folks here who have had bad adverse reactions after receiving their vaccinations.
I am wondering if anyone here has heard anything about Evusheld as an alternative to Pfizer and Moderna.
@thamollusk I was negative on ANA and other more standard auto immune tests but positive on 2 of the CellTrend auto immune receptors (ACE2 & MAS-1) so from what I've come to understand the way it probably has played out at least for me was in this order: 1) vaccine starts the process of producing spike proteins, 2) monocytes/immune system gets stuck trying to clear them out, 3) inflammation from battle begins and cytokines rise causing symptoms, 4) continued battle results in my immune system beginning to target my own tissue resulting in auto immune issues, which further worsens things.
I agree in part with Patterson that it's important to get rid of the spike protein asap so the inflammation subsides and then hopefully over time the auto antibodies begin to fade away. The hard part is figuring out what symptoms (or amount of symptoms) comes from the cytokine inflammation and how much from any auto immune issues.
My wife's BPPV is gone so is the lethargy. I am including a resource on the cilantro/chlorella detox for you below.
I would also say that going to the sauna has helped out a lot too, since we sweat out much of the toxicity in our body.
@nresearcher here is a German article link that mentions the Marburg post vax treatment. It's in German so need to run it thru Google translate or another web translator -
They apparently are booked rest of this year with 800+ patients signed up. From another forum, a German that knows people who have went said they are being given statin (rosuvastatin 10mg), blood pressure med regardless of their BP (candesartan 4mg), vitamin D, and low histamine diet. The guy said he's signed up to go next month to clinic so following to learn any more details.
Thank you for posting this article. Found this part of interest:
"Patients who suspect they are affected by post-vac syndrome can contact the interdisciplinary long-COVID outpatient clinic at the University Hospital Giessen and Marburg (UKGM). Four to six patients are examined every day, another 800 are waiting for an appointment, reports Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schieffer, Director of Cardiology at the University Hospital Marburg. With regard to the post-marketing report by BioNTech/Pfizer, he assumes that around 25,000 people will be affected throughout Germany. He is convinced that the vaccine unmasks an infectious, immunological or genetic predisposition of the immune system and acts as a trigger for some of the most severe symptoms: "The vaccination triggers something that was already latent. We want to understand why the immune system in these people has 'turned the wrong way' – an extremely exciting interdisciplinary field of research."
According to his team, autoantibodies play a crucial role in post-Vac syndrome. It is therefore a matter of first identifying the autoantibodies and recording which organ functions are disturbed. Some autoantibody groups are associated with muscle weakness, others with cerebral symptoms or problems of circulatory regulation.
Particular attention is paid to autoantibodies against the ACE2 receptor (ACE2), to which the spike protein of the coronavirus docks. This protein can either enter the body through an infection or be replicated in the body using the mRNA vaccine. "Depending on how the blood pressure-activating enzyme is preactivated, each body reacts with other immunological processes," explains Prof. Schieffer.
With a view to patients like Elisabeth Schneider, he emphasizes: "These people are really sick." The mere fact that he and his team acknowledge the disease value of the symptoms provides relief to those affected. After all, most of them have already completed an odyssey of six to eight months before they find their way to the UKGM outpatient clinic.
As the first therapy, the administration of cholesterol and blood pressure lowering drugs, vitamin D plus a special diet has proven itself. "The control loop via the ACE2 receptor is thus broken, the inflammation and the associated endotheliitis decrease," reports the cardiologist. He wants to encourage his patients: "Post-Vac is curable, even if you have to be patient.""
For those with high blood pressure post-vaccine, I wonder if the diet they recommend includes factors found to lower blood pressure (reducing caffeine, salt, sugar, saturated fat...; increasing omega-3 fat (salmon...), green leafy (and other) vegetables, legumes, other foods high in magnesium, potassium, etc...). Would be interesting to find out more details about their program and how they came up with the plan.
If dietary and other lifestyle measures could support recovery, maybe in addition to some over-the-counter/common supplements and/or medications, maybe that could avoid the need for a stronger medication such as Maraviroc, although Dr. Patterson does seem to think it is quite safe.
There appear to be several plausible theories behind vaccine reactions at this point. Hope Dr. Schieffer and Dr. Patterson publish some results soon so those with vaccine reactions could maybe show the published studies to their doctors.
Does anyone else have a Contrast Dye Allergy?
