Yes do let us know how Ivermectin works for you, I have an appointment with a Dr who prescribes it however not until 22nd July as fully booked and only Dr in UK who does this type of consultations and prescribing. Be very interested how it goes! Are you based in UK?
Hello. I took my first dose of pfizer on 16th of may. On that day i was very exhausted, had chest pain and shortness of breath. Didn't have any symptoms like this before, I am thinking maybe i got myocarditis. No arm pain, high temperature. For the first 3 days i didn't feel so good, but then i started to recover. I am 23 years old, male, but since 16th of may, i still have shortness of breath and my lymph nodes are infected. I took the vaccine on left arm; only the left supraclavicular node is infected +left armpit. I had to do the second dose on 6th of june, but did not. i am bit scared. I really don't know what to do. Should I still take the second dose? Will my symptoms go worse than this? As of today, symtomps started to improve, but i still feel dizzy sometimes, i still breath a bit harder than before the vaccine and sometimes i have pain neck right at the lymph nodes.
@hope123 It took me about two months, but I am feeling nearly 100% back to my pre-vaccine self. All of my dizziness and vestibular issues have totally resolved. My neurologist did believe my issues would resolve in time, and he was right.
I have also read stories of improvement and recovery on this forum, so there is definitely hope. Some people's issues may be longer-lasting, unfortunately, but everyone's recovery time will vary based on his/her individual condition. I've said this before, and I continue to believe that it is extremely important for people to consult with qualified medical professionals to rule out other conditions that may be causing their symptoms. This will help determine whether one's symptoms are related to the vaccine and not another medical condition that might require different medical intervention. That said, it's important for people to find doctors whose advice they trust--and to seek second opinions if necessary.
Sending best wishes to everyone still feeling unwell, as I know how hard that is, but I do believe that recovery is possible, even if it takes some time.
I will also be leaving the forum after this post as I've shared whatever information I believe could be helpful to others experiencing similar issues, and don't think there is much more I can add at this time.
I appreciate everyone sharing their stories. It has helped me get through a difficult time, and I hope I have helped others do the same.
Keep the faith for better times ahead!
Hello,
I am glad I found this forum! I had my second Pfizer shot on May 26 and started feeling dizzy last night after dinner. Woke up during the night and got up, feeling unstable and dizzy. Woke up in the morning my head feeling very heavy, like in a fog and dizzy. Also very thirsty…
I have had tinnitus for many years.
Since my 1st astra dose at the end of March I have been feeling like most of you, dizzy, brain fog, tinnitus, and the brain fog so I cant think straight. I have been off work for ages because I work in pensions and I find I am struggling to do everyday basic tasks at home let alone talk about a topic which I found complicated before this. I have seen the dr multiple times. They thought it was depression, then vertigo and now I have been on a sinus spray for over 6 weeks because they think it may be that. I have had good days and stretches of really bad ones. This week I was on a train and it came on and I had a massive panic attack with it that lasted for over an hour. I am sick of my work, family and friends and most of all my wife thinking I am making this up because as I say I do have good days. Someone described it like a horror film and I get that. It's like you against the world and if you mention the vaccine then you get disapproving looks. I keep getting bugged about a 2nd dose from the dr and my wife. the dr wants me to try pzier this time as they think it's better. I feel sick thinking about what other adverse reactions this might cause. I literally feel like I'm going crazy (because thats how I think everyone else views me, that or a fraud looking for attention) I'm now currently getting counselling because when I was in the house alone this week I gave serious consideration to taking my life as I feel like whole world is closing in around me, I don't want to discuss the vaccine with anyone anymore as I keep getting the same unbelieving reaction. I'm suppposed to have the 2nd jab Thursday but if I go back to how I was in April with this I seriously don't think I can mentally cope.
Sorry, ...I'll try to take my passion level about all this down a few notches. I had to laugh at myself a bit when I suddenly realized my intensity today is "on steroids", literally. 🥺 Tomorrow morning I get to the last daily one pill dose, down from the six pills I started with 4 days ago. Talk about a ride! Again, sorry for today's dragging along for the ride I've done... 😔
Hey, this rollercoaster we're on brings out all sorts of emotions in us, some we never knew we had. Don't change a thing Sassafras, your knowledge and opinions are interesting and sometimes amusing which is what we all need.😊
Yes, it is a bumpy ride at times. I used to live in an older part of town where there was a remnant of an old brick city street, interspersed with more modern patching where trolley tracks once ran. It was a teeth-chattering street to drive on ...reminds me of this experience! 🥴
As I taper off this Medrol steroid pack and my body's cortisol starts rising again, I'll find out more about whether I've been recovering from relapsing a week ago because of the steroid, and find out if I relapse once again after getting off it. It would be great if having temporarily tamped down my cortisol will have reset my body and put me on an uninterrupted recovery course now ...I can hope so!
I'm hoping for a calmer day today as I take my last Medrol dose and my body starts this transition. I'd like to get off the old trolley rutted ride!! 😂🙏
Thanks for your understanding and support! I hope you're having a better day today! And I'm hoping for the recovery of my sense of humour soon, also! 😉🤭
An optimist may perceive a realist to be pessimistic.
My symptoms do go from very bad to much better, cyclically. Some of my current realism is based on still a long time waiting to rule out issues that may be pre-existing, although previously undisclosed, and may have nothing to do with my vaccination.
I glad you're improving and I truly wish you well! 👍
I have been considered to be a pessimist all my life snd I think so myself. I am not an optimist. Here I am trying to be a realist. People have different reactions. Mine and yours are very different. Our age and health are different. I believe you are in your 60s? I never had vertigo to begin with, neither before vaccine, nor after. If your consisting is not improving, it doesn’t mean other people’s won’t. Many have recovered and many have gotten a second shot after. I don’t care if you will and I am not urging you. I am sharing my opinion, just as you are sharing your lengthy pessimistic stories which are not helpful. That’s it. I am not saying you will improve or I will recover 100% but I think there is a great possibility we will. Lots of my friends who had COVID recovered but they had these side effects for months. We are unlucky yes… but this is life, shit happens
@vespinosa925 have the supplements done anything yet?x
I have been taking supplements for a few weeks now and a few of them I started prior to even having side effects (been taking some of them for years)
they don’t really help but I haven’t tried LG in liquid form, I think it might work better
And my side effects only include brain fog and very light dizziness
Editing to add: some of them I feel make it worse… after taking some I feel more drowsy and keep yawning …
Used to take before: c, d, zinc (for years)
Taking now: LG (pills), c, d, zinc, quecerine, omega-3, b complex, iburpofen (so far almost 3 weeks)
@hope123 I understood it has to be liquid form of the glutathione. I got my supplements 2 days ago so have only had 1 1/2 days worth so far but am feeling it’s doing something. Saying that I’ve been in bed all day with my cat watching Colombo 🤣🤣
@hope123 I guess this business can really turn us topsy-turvy... for, during my 60+ years, I've been considered an optimist! But I'd guess most of us prefer to consider ourselves firmly planted in reality.
I've found that helpfulness comes in different guises ...maybe depends on the part of the "elephant" one has in view? I dunno... I'm truly glad yours has been the less repugnant one! 👍

Hi Sassafras, I hope everything goes ok with your Medrol withdrawal and you don't get any nasty withdrawal symptoms. Hopefully you can get back to baseline again. Thank you for your good wishes. I've had a fairly good day, migraine gone, had family around for lunch (which was arranged on a good day), now I'm exhausted. What a difference it makes though seeing and talking to people, first time in a long while, makes you feel normal again. 🙏😊

Thank you, I'm facing the road ahead with courage for whatever betides.
I'm so happy you broke out of your migraine episode and carried through with getting together with family today! Returning to normal activities can be a stretch, but worth it.
Maybe you'll be tired enough for a good rest tonight ...maybe you'll even have good dreams that you'll not wish to awaken from! 😴 We can always hope! 😉🙏
@thenystagmus hope you are feeling OK well as much as you can. I've do e steroid drops before and not the easiest but hey you may be fine here's to that 👍. I'm hoping tommorow you and us all are feeling a litter better as it's exhausting for us all xx
