@ksharky13 My tinnitus came on after 4 weeks on the shot side and 5 weeks on the other side. I too experienced it getting better and almost disappearing but it has since gotten a little louder again. I hope that this means we are healing slowly and symptoms appear in waves. How loud is yours? I can barely hear mine in a quiet room most of the time but when I plug my ears I can hear it much louder.
Again, I can't completely blame the vaccine, I was taking omeprazole at the exact time that these symptoms came on and many people have reported ear pain/tinnitus/dizziness from that as well.
hi would love to hear how you are doing. Any success with your ringing. It would be nice to hear some success stories.
@judis I received my Pfizer booster three days ago and noticed quite a bit of dizziness beginning last night. It’s a little worse today. My first two vaccines were in March and April and didn’t cause any dizziness. I’m sure hoping it goes away quickly. It’s unnerving! I did order a single homeopathic remedy today for it through Amazon which should arrive tomorrow that might provide some relief. I’ll update here if it helps. 🤞
did your dizziness subside? How are you?
Has anyone that has received any of the new Covid Vaccines, did you experience any increased dizziness or other symptoms?
Male, 45 years old.
I received my first Moderna shot on 28 Jan (Lot #042L20A) and second on 4 Mar (Lot #029A21A). Other than mild flu-like symptoms for 24 hours after my second shot, I felt fine. On 22 July @ 3:45PM, like the flip of a switch, I experienced a feeling of fullness present in my left ear, vertigo/dizziness/Oscillpsia, brain fog, and vision issues. It's hard to explain, but the best explanation I've found is that I always feel like I'm two beers into a good buzz. I had perfect vision until that day; now I'm far sighted and can't read anything on my phone unless it's held out at arms length. The issues have not subsided since 22 July. Currently progressing thru my primary care doctor and an ENT specialist, with upcoming VNG tests (CPT codes: 92537, 92538, 92546, & 92540) and an appt with an ophthalmologist. Getting the vaccine was the worst decision I've ever made.
hi how are you ? It would be nice to hear from you how are you doing? Any progress? Did you have other issues too along with your symptoms? Have you caught COVID since? If so Has it made your symptoms better worse?
It seems, if I understand it correctly, a lot of our (or rather my) symptoms are an over-reaction of the immune system, ie. an over-reaction to the spike protein. Has anyone taken a SHORT course of steroids, like prednisolone, to suppress our immune system?
That will not work to heal/cure. May help quite a bit as bandaid for symptoms. Problem is you can't easily stay on steroids forever. Better to treat the cause(s) as much as possible directly. It's also a mix: some people are suffering as a result of too weak an immune system initially; later though most end up with hyper-immune systems. And yet, many people out there keep taking things to "broadly" boost their immune systems with supplements. Quite interesting.
I'm 4.5 months into this and except for blood pressure and insomnia, I'm now 95% healed: extensive skin rashes gone, burning skin sensations gone, random body muscle twitches gone, upper left chest deep pressure and burning pain (likely pericarditis) gone, all different types of headaches gone, right ear twitching 90% gone (generally about 12 - 15 times a day now vs. almost constant before). For BP and insomnia, now well controlled on meds for both for now and just time now.
And this coming out of 5th vaccine in Jan. So it's definitely possible to heal. And I'd say in my case less about time and more about aggressive treatment starting within 8wks of this all starting.
What treatments did you take so far?
dee how are you? Any improvements at all? It’s a ghost town in this forum I hope you can reply I’d really like to hear from everyone? There’s a lot of ppl suffering from boosters in here that recently posted well in 2022 and those who are still suffering. It would be nice to hear from you
@margaret2022 i would say am much better now atleast 50 to 60% better. But still struggling with fatigue and noise sensitivity issues. Though my noise sensitivity isn't as bad as it was few months back. Vedicinals definitely helped me with my migraine attacks, nerve pains, hyperacusis etc. But there are flare ups during my menstrual cycle. Even Ayurveda treatment Shirodhaara has helped along with accupressure. I am currently under functional medicine & will let you know how it goes.
Haven’t been on here inna while….
I had horrible issues that I previously mentioned about 1 year ago that all started 2 weeks post moderna vaccine. The main problems I had were PVCs, Brain fog, increased BP, feeling confused all day, and horrible constant anxiety. These problems lasted for 3 months and slowly but completely went away. ( BTW 27 year old male with no prior health issues)
I went back to my normal life with my wife and son and thought this horrible vaccine experience had left my body and was gone for 8-9 months, I had pretty well forgot about it even happening.
About 3 weeks ago I started having chest pains and very odd BPM issues (very low while sitting / sleeping and higher than normal while standing / walking) and along came the intense brain fog / confusion and anxiety. This is really beating me down considering I thought I had recovered and moved on with my life. I’m mainly here to see if anyone has experienced a relapse after feeling 100% better? This time I did get an antibody test which showed me having >2500 and I’m pretty sure that’s as high as that test went. The only thing I can come up with is, that after the vaccine i had a very high antibody count which eventually lowered and then possibly got exposed to Covid which trigger the antibodies to spike back up resulting in my relapse. Other than that I have absolutely no clue as to what’s happening to me and it makes me feel like I’m loosing my mind.
I’m not making this post to discourage anyone that’s dealing with symptoms or that’s feeling better as I pray that we all have relief soon. I’m just looking for anyone that has been in the same boat as me to hopefully find answers and relief. I appreciate any reply’s and thoughts.
Have a blessed day,
hi how are you? I saw that you had relapse after you thought symptoms were gone for good. Did you get covid at all before the relapse started? Curious to see if it did and how you are doing now

thank you for your reply. Sorry you are still going through this. I’m glad you did find some relief for your symptoms. Question did you catch covid at all since your injury? I caught it right before Christmas and have been battling increased hearing sensitivity and headaches and eye issues, now my hearing is so sensitive that it’s causing me to have vertigo when I’m around loud noise or sudden loud noise. I too am seeing a functional medicine doctor she’s been great. No plan yet other than blood work and then going from there but she is checking my flammatory markers. Keep us posted.
I have crossed a years time, still sick & my antibody levels are 4500. Just wanted to know if this antibody level is the cause of all my problems? I am suffering from migraine attacks, hyperacusis, light sensitivity, smell sensitivity, fatigue, nerve pains etc.
also when you get migraine attacks does your hearing sensitivity go up? Can you describe an attack to me like what happens in order? I’m curious

@sweetie: When you say your antibody levels are at 4500, exactly which antibody are you referring to? Is that the Covid-specific antibody or some auto-immune antibody? Thanks.

You know what I was reading up on? Was superior canal dehiscence. And it be caused by increased intracranial pressure in your head causing one of the pieces of bones to break off in your ear bone canals. The way to see this is CT of your temporal bones in your head. I did get a ct done January 2022 they said they didn’t see anything but I’m beginning to think I have this because after my covid I had increased head pressure and my sensitivity got higher. Much intolerable and I now have vertigo from loud sounds. Here’s what I was reading. Scary stuff.

@margaret2022 Hi i believe vertigo causes ringing in the ear and problem eye focusing. I came across this I have no idea if this works for everyone, but I stumbled upon it today and wanted to share in case it can help you or anyone else who suffers with tinnitus check this out; https://bit.ly/3GBS2aS
Oh my goodness i am having a relapse. I got covid over Christmas now I am having heart flutters..which started about a week after my covid…then I ended up with vertigo one morning…about a week after heart palpitations started and the vertigo went away when I got up…I got nauseous to with it…then I started to get head pressure towards the day afternoon…now I have like an electrical nerve shot feeling in my body like I feel im on edge or nervous…my hearing sensitivity is pretty bad too where I feel dizzy when around loud sounds. Not sure what’s going on. Question for you when you had your relapse did you get covid or have anything viral? Just wondering what brought this on. Or if it’s even covid related relapse…I’m at home I feel so sick..like nauseous…I have an appointment today hopefully I can get more time off work.
@margaret2022 yes sound sensitivity is at extreme during migraine attacks. Even light sensitivity sets in during this phase and i just cant see any lights or screen. I get severe nausea & throbbing headaches, nerves r like stretching, eyes r in pain. And basically my brain just doesnt function. Facial side goes numb, sumtimes tingling sensation. And after d attack i jus cant function for next few days. I hv to stay in dark room without light, sound etc. My last attack put me out of work for a month's time. Since i have taken vedicinals, i haven't encountered any migraine attacks so far. Thank God for that, i can atleast work now. I do get slight headaches during menstrual cycle phase, but then Ayurveda treatment shirodhaara helps, also accupressure and pranayamas.
@margaret2022 hey wht did the functional doc tell you. Mine did a metal toxicity test and found levels of mercury, aluminum etc high. So am on a detox plan now with loads of supplement
