How are you now? I was perfectly fine before the jab, too! Similar issues. It’s almost been a year for me

How are you now? I went back on your comments to find the first one. This showed every single symptom I also have 1 week post vaccine. Have any symptoms calmed/gone? What have you tried? What tests have you had done? Are you any worse? I’m new to this as I’ve only recently took the vaccine & I have a baby and terrified I’m going to leave her behind

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my experience. I'm an healthy 35 years old man, 190 cm x 74 kg, athletic, no meds taken, no stress, very stable and supportive mental, economical, social and family life. No history of family having neurological issues of any sort.

I took the first dose of Pfizer vaccine 1st of June 2021. around ten days from that I started to have weakness to my arm where the jab was injected. I'm a rock climber so I got really worried about that, and it is a symptom that I never experienced before. I couldn't even old a pen. Went to a neurologist, run some EMG and some spinal MRI, all clean. After some time it eventually got better, but still some tremors remained.

the 13th of July 2021 I got covid 19 delta variant (with all possible common sympthom), and I fully recovered from all the sympthoms 10 days after.

September the 16th 2021 I got my second dose of Pfizer vaccine, so two months after the diagnosed positivity (NHS guidelines are stating that is safe to do it after 1 month, so I waited 2 just to be extra safe) and I'm regretting it deeply.

Everything was going fine, and I didn't have anything in particular to mention, but around a week after the jab I got all sort of neurological side effects: Twitching, fasciculations 24/7 in literally all parts of my body, numbness and heavy tingling on my legs and feet, feeling of needles in random parts of my body, my hand got significantly weaker as it happened after the first dose, experiencing large patches of pain (like having a huge bruise ans somebody squishing it).

After around two weeks, the situation seems to have been stabilized into just having fasciculations: I get them 24/7 on both of my legs, with calves in particular affected significantly. not painful, but very annoying, twictching every second. Other parts of my body get fasciculations but much less frequently.

Tried to fast for 48 hrs (planning to fast 1 day a week for 24 hrs) to get rid of radicals, taking Magnesium, B12, Zinc, D3, and Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements, and see how far I get from there.

Looking at how stable it has been on the past few days, I'm very scared that this condition triggered by the vaccine might be chronical, but I obviously hope I'll recover soon.

My GP told me that other people experienced the same, even after a simple FLU vaccine. I'll see another neurologist soon to exclude other worst type of illness.

Any suggest are golden! Keep it positive folks!

/Luca

@pepms:

I have a dull headache basically all the time.  Feels like a pressure headache.  That also seems to be spiking my tinnitus, which is a high-pitched, electronic squeal in my head.  Also feel jittery/anxious all the time.  It reminds me of how I felt before I started taking an SSRI about 25+ years ago.  My mind is racing all the time, hard to focus.  It’s definitely hard to tell if this is all SSRI withdrawal or Covid vaccine related.  I’m pretty much planning on getting back on my original SSRI (which never gave me tinnitus or spiked it).  I probably should have left well-enough alone.  I guess from now on I’m always going to question whether something is related to the Covid vaccine or something else.  My initial bad tinnitus spike happened very suddenly, and 6 weeks post my Moderna booster.  I haven’t felt “normal” since then.  Add onto all this, I have a couple of major stressors in my life right now, which doesn’t help.  Have to try and stay positive and work through things one at a time.  Stay strong.

@courteneydowell A few people may have possibly benefitted from taking steroids (or another strong anti-inflammatory medication) if they start within a week or two of symptom onset post-vaccination. Not sure if you'd consider discussing that option with your doctor. This is speculation, though, as results with steroids do seem to be mixed.

@pepms: One more thing as far as symptoms.  My abdominal area and digestive tract constantly feel bloated/inflamed.  Again, not sure if related to the Covid vaccine or just stress-related.  Either way I'm constantly uncomfortable because of it.
