@thenystagmus When you get a flu shot, you are asked if you have any history of GBS. I am thinking that if the answer is "yes", you will not be able to bet the vaccine or will be advised against it. I'll bet they don't ask anything about that or any other preexisting condition when it comes to the covid vaccine.
And I'm still waiting to see any articles about the horrible vestibular symptoms that people here have posted about. If dizziness/vertigo is even mentioned at all, it's only mentioned as an immediate allergic reaction--not a word about the delayed, long-term horrors.
I had the AstraZeneca vaccine (1st dose) on 17th June 2021 which was 4 weeks ago and have had side effects which are of great concern to me.
Side Effects are as follows
30% Dizziness and light headed feeling
Having to take deep breaths occasionally (few times every hour) more after walking etc..
Slight chest pain BP is 130/100 used to be normal
Fatigue and some dehydration
Has anybody else had these symptoms and did they pass or what treatments did people try to get better.
I've seen many posts on forums with people having similar symptoms lasting many months so am very concerned.
After doing some research I found some doctors that they are using some vitamins , Atarvastatin and mainly Ivermectin to treat these symptoms for Long haul post Vaccine side effects. I wanted to know has anybody tried this and did it work. My doctor was willing to prescribe the meds and was ok with it I am going to wait a couple of weeks to see if symptoms go away before proceeding and also give more time to see other peoples experiences.
I should add 30+ family and friends have also had the vaccine with no side effects but unfortunately for me I seem to be the unlucky one.
Honest advice and recommendations would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance

I don't think there's probably any condition that anyone is officially advised to not get Covid vaccines. Why, even if you have an immediate anaphylactic reaction, I wouldn't be surprised to be told to just try one of the other ones! Iyiyi!
Yeah, such a dearth of information about our vestibular reactions and many many other kinds, also. Anyone that tries to come out with information about vaccine injuries, deaths - are quickly vilified as having some sort of nefarious conspiracy agenda to undermine vaccination. Gee, if we've had a vaccine injury, how did we get it? Hmmm, we must have decided to get a Covid vaccine?!! 🙄
I really don't know what it's going to take for honesty about all this to come about. The only thing I can figure is grassroots awareness or someone highly respected to come out about it all. Even then, I think they'd be swarmed by an all out attempt to discredit them. It may take a whole revered teaching hospital. Until then...
I wish I could get my condition to Vaers but I need a doctor to verify it which is hard to do.
Has anyone here managed to be diagnosed with a neurological condition post-vaccine?

@ethan318 here in Canada docs are the only ones who can report adverse events and none of them are doing that… they don’t want to bother with the paperwork and follow-up. Especially if they feel it’s 50:50 that the event was caused by the vaccine they don’t bother. My doc said my dizziness etc might have been the vaccine but she wasn’t going to bother with a report because it might not be - I was too unwell at that point to even care so I didn’t ask her to fill the forms.
@euroka I have been having awful symptoms since getting my second vaccine. Although mine started 9 days after. It started with me passing out in my bathroom and then I have been dizzy for 5 days straight and almost passed out again this morning. My stomach feels awful and I can barely eat anything. I feel so nauseous and it burns. My anxiety is awful as well and I feel like I’m dying. How are you feeling? My doctor is supposed to call on Tuesday. I also had concussion prior to all of this but the symptoms were not this bad. Then boom all of a sudden on day 9 I’m passing out. I have never passed out in my life. So scary and it’s awful not knowing what is wrong or when I will feel better. Hope you are doing much better.
Hi all,
Thought this article would be of interest regarding the push for answers on vaccine side effects.
Also, Canadian researchers to study best approaches to possible adverse events following Covid 19 vaccination.
I have been fortunate in that I seem to have fully recovered.
I wish you all the best.
@nodiagnosis please share your experience with me did any of your symptoms improved I am at week 6 my skin is on fire please help me with your experience
@thepierlux same.for menmoderna a month ago things are getting worst burning skin vision problems anxiety ....so desparate.
I wanted to take a moment to respond to those who’ve been posting in the last few pages of this forum, specifically those around 5-6 weeks and feeling no improvement (and even worsening symptoms). My symptoms-after the second Moderna shot- were at there worst from weeks 3-7ish. During that time I was in complete panic and depression, feeling as though I would never recover and so scared of what was happening to me. I have a 2 year old son and work full time as a high school teacher. It was so scary and sad feeling so sick and having to find a way to get up each day to be a teacher, wife and mom. Weeks 10-12 seemed to show improvement and beyond 12 things continued to get better and better. Now, five months later, I am almost normal. I still occasionally have issues with brain fog and ear fullness.
I just don’t want you to feel alone and hopeless like I did during that time. You will get better. I’m so sorry you are suffering.
