@gingerjones Just wanted to apologize for going on so long in my previous message. I am not questioning any persons judgment for taking the vaccine or not taking it. Coming here was just to help me make the decision for myself is all. And I hope everyone here that are having issues will soon get relief.
@helpimdizzy Yes neck tension especially when lying in bed. But yeah come to think of it, there is neck tension and head tightness. Something to ask the neurologist at a future appointment. I think family doctor is tired of seeing me. they just keep sending me for more bloodwork.
@gingerjones So Ivermectin is safe to take for vaccine side effects? I wonder how it helps with dizziness and balance issues?
@thenystagmus This makes me sick seeing so many suffering from the side effects of these vaccines. Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine were the cures for this virus from the beginning. The enormous level of risk people took taking the vaccines is something I will never understand for a virus that even with no treatment was barely worse than the flu for almost all cases.
My son got the J&J vaccine in early April without telling me. That night he had a high fever and was feeling horrible. I gave him Ivermectin because I thought he might have Covid. The next morning he said he felt great. This is not unusual for Ivermectin to have amazing results after a single dose. I have no way of knowing if the Ivermectin is what caused his improved state but there are studies now showing it does have a positive effect after receiving the vaccine.
Thanks for your post. I'd be interested in knowing how you ended up posting here, since you make no mention of vestibular issues. Many people feel really lousy for a few days after getting one of these vaccines, in fact we're warned to expect that.
It is so hard to know cause & effect for these things we do or don't do when we have issues following Covid vaccination. That's why studies with a control group given a placebo is so important. I've posted on this forum, asking if anyone has a link for any studies for Ivermectin use for post-Covid vaccine issues, but no one has posted any. If you have a link to share with a written study with control group (not just a video from a doctor that's started their own business) I'd be interested in reading it.
(In case you inadvertently overlooked my reply, I'm posting it again.)
A while back, another person posted the info on the 100 studies you have now referred to in another post, but after looking through them all, I didn't find any that had to do with Ivermectin for post-Covid vaccine issues.
I'm wondering why you haven't posted any link to the studies you referred to in this post of yours I'm replying to, once again? Have you just been told that such studies exist, or have you read them yourself?
Again, if you have a link to share with a written study with control group (not just a video from a doctor that's started their own business) I'd be interested in reading it.
Thank goodness for this group! I want to post my story which has a lot of symptom similarities to others, but the timing is unusual.
I’m a 45 year old man based in southcentral Pennsylvania USA with no health problems prior to receiving the J&J vaccine on March 16th. I had the typical headache, sore arm, feeling run-down for 24-36 hours after the shot. I can't say that I had any lingering affects after that initial 2 days. I'm a healthy guy, and I never "don't feel good."
Fast forward to Tuesday, June 8th where I'm driving a car on the highway and a dizzy spell hits me hard with no warning. I got the car pulled off the side of the road but my world was spinning for 2-3 minutes. It scared me enough to go the ER an hour later where I had blood drawn, EKG, CT scan of brain, overnight monitoring, and an echocardiogram. All were normal, but over the course of the next week, I felt the full force of the following symptoms: lightheadedness to the point of almost fainting, brain fog, nausea, neck tightness, headaches, anxiety, and fatigue.
I had so many lightheaded moments where I felt I would pass out. My life was affected because I couldn't do anything without feeling like I would pass out. Driving more than a mile is out of the question. Fortunately, I'm a school teacher and all this started on the 2nd day of summer vacation. I certainly would not be able to teach if school were in session.
How bad was my brain fog? I have a 9 year old son with Down syndrome who loves to play board games like monopoly. My brain fog prevented me from playing monopoly with him. It was too complicated for me to roll the dice, count the dice, move my piece the number of spaces. My family was really worried because they noticed how I couldn't think. I felt like a 90 year old man.
As far as my lightheadedness, I never actually fainted, but there were many times I had the "sense of doom" feeling where I was going to die. I visited the ER again a week later and they did another EKG with normal readings again and ordered a holter monitor to be worn for 24 hours, which came back normal.
When I finally got into my primary care physician on June 17th, he suspected something terminal, so he orders a brain MRA the very next day. That came back clean, so he orders me to see a neurologist. Once I received news that the brain MRA was normal, my anxiety went away for the most part--I was not going to die! The neurologist prescribed gabapentin 100 mg daily (which is anti-migraine/anti-seizure meds) and a carotid artery ultrasound, which came back clean.
Because of the neck tightness/pain/uncomfortability, I visited a chiropractor thinking neck alignment was off. Chiro realigned me but I didn't feel any better or worse.
Today, I am 6 weeks from the June 8th out-of-the-blue dizzy spell that changed my life. If I gave a percentage of how good I am today, I would give a 75%.
During all this time, I've never had a fever and my blood pressure has been normal every time it's been taken. According to all these tests, I'm the healthiest 45 year old in the world--my heart, brain, bloodwork is all great.
My episodes are less and less frequent, and I drove today for about 5 miles! Yay! I feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel. In the last week, I've been playing board games much, much better with less brain fog, but I have my moments with brain fog and lightheadedness. My neurologist and my primary care physician feel like there is no correlation to the vaccine, but the chiropractor I visited has said that he's treated multiple patients like me who are looking for relief from these symptoms in the past 4 months.
Is it related to the vaccine? The timing is certainly off (3 months!), but the symptoms are like most everyone else in this group. Thank goodness for this group--reading the posts on these 383 pages is so, so reassuring to me! I empathize with you and appreciate how supportive everyone is. I start teaching school in a month, so I hope to be 100% by then.
I'm curious--please respond if you had a delayed response to the vaccine like I experienced.
@thenystagmus I sent a reply but I am not seeing it in the string and I included multiple sites with studies and research. Let me see if I can find it here.
@thenystagmus OK I found my reply but it says awaiting moderation. So hopefully it will be approved.
@lili23 There are a few pharmacies from India that you can trust to send real meds. You need to do some research to figure out which ones are legit. I would post a link for you but I'm sure it's against the rules in here.
@jardelina yes maybe. They might point you in the wrong direction. Keep in mind that specialists and doctors have a tendency to only think in a very narrow frame of symptoms. This can be very problematic. Ideally, you are very physically present for your body and what it's signaling you. Try getting into a meditative state and not being mad at your body for putting you through hell but instead trying to listen to the signals it is communicating to you. It's something to practice, being a good listener of your own body.
Through this and some professional guidance, I think I found my way to relevant help but had I had no confidence in my own diagnosis and research, the doctors would surely be throwing me into some prescription rabbit hole for a long time maybe making things much much worse. I'm afraid it happens all too often.
Give your eyes rest. Less computer and tv and phone time. Try focusing on the field of vision of your peripheral when walking. Really relax your eyes this way. Try to be aware of tension in your body. Especially the abdominal area and neck and relieve it if you can. Awareness is the first step.
If you find tension in these places, let me know. Literally massaging the tension areas of your neck might help you a tremendous amount. Chamomile tea might help a lot with the headaches.
Try these things. At worst, they are harmless but made a major difference in my suffering and showed me some light.
I also quit caffeine but that led to different issues that scared and confused me. If you have a lot of caffeine, try slowing down instead of cold turkey quitting. Doctor's all asked me if I drank alcohol or did other drugs etc but never thought to ask "did you suddenly stop taking a powerful stimulant that also largely triggers your digestive system that nearly everybody has?" Because everyone drinks coffee but they think to ask about alcohol everytime and never coffee when I called in for digestion issues.
So annoying...I think I did my own diagnosing for most of what I needed help on.
Attention everyone, a quite troubling side effect. I got the J&J vaccine months ago. After the first week from the first shot, brand new Tinnitus started. Then dizzy spells, and lack of balance. Now I am noticing yet another side effect. Aging. This is the weirdest side effect. My skin has aged literally 5 years in 3 months. Like, I have dark circles under my eyes now and my skin is less elastic to the touch and clearly starting to sag. I read about a similar side effect to two other members on a seperate forum but that forum got taken down. So not only is the vaccine causing me the other issues like everyone here, but it also seems to be literally aging me........ Has anyone, with any of these vaccines, seen such a pro-aging effect. All of these side effects really are upsetting me
@dizzybrainfog so do you feel the amoxicillin helped you? i have some in my cupboard wondering if i should give it a try? Doctors don't seem want to prescribe antibiotics much.
@Dizzyfromvaccine Are you free from symptoms now?
I wanted to share my experience as well and looking for some help too. I wish I was told that there are more worse side effects then what they are continuously telling us. I believe if I was told that I could encounter what I am about to share I would have been better prepared. I am apologizing before hand for this long post. I am completely in good health, only major health issue I had was a spinal stenosis done about 7 years ago. I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHAZIE THAT I DID CONTRACT CORONOA VIRUS LAST YEAR IN JULY AND WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR A FEW DAYS TOO, My vaccine shot was scheduled for the 22nd of May, which was a Friday. I had planned it this way if I got sick I had the weekend to recover. I had not consumed any alcohol since the previous Monday too.
I received my 2 dose of the moderna vaccine on the May 22nd.
I got the vaccine and went home. At home I called my son to help me with groceries. At this point I had started sweating a lot. I went upstairs, changed and sat in the upstairs living room and started watching golf on T.V. I cooled down a little bit and felt hungry. I warmed up some soup and started eating it while watching T.V. I noticed the DVD player I had installed earlier which was not working. I decided to fix it. I went downstairs, got my tools and started to work on it. I got it fixed around 5.30 p.m.
I showered and came back to the living room and lied on the couch and continued watching T.V. Around this time the sun directly hits the living room of our house and it gets really hot. I went into the bedroom and lied on the bed and continued watching T.V. there. I heard my wife come home. Since I was crashing in the guest room she didn't bother me. she came upstairs and went into my son's room and spoke to him for awhile and went to our room, she showered and went down stairs, she made something to eat and then she came back upstairs to our room and lied down, she wasn't feeling well herself. and started watching TV, At this time I decided to go watch T.V in the down stairs living room.
Now it is around 7 or 7.30 pm, I sat on the couch and turned on the TV, after a few minutes I started hearing voices, I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. First, I started looking at my phone thinking I dialed someone by mistake but no one was there. I started walking around the living room trying to figure out where the voices were coming from. I thought my wife was on the phone with my mother in Canada, so I went upstairs and stood by her door and tried to listen. I even went in the room and went in the closet to see if there was anything. I asked her if she was on the phone, she was upset that I woke her up. She showed me her phone was on the charger. I came downstairs and was still hearing the voice, I went into my son's room and asked him if he was on the phone and he said he was not, I I even took his phone to check for myself. so I tried recording the voice I was hearing. I tried to have my wife listen to it. She got very upset and kept saying she couldn't hear anything. I also emailed that recording to a friend whose voice I thought I had. I came downstairs and I can hear the voices of people I know speaking to my wife. I hear things like they can see my wife laying in bed. It gets worst and worst. I ran upstairs and start disconnecting the WIFI, the T.V,. the phone. but the voice continues talking.
At this point I am writing as much as I can remember. The voices continue and from what I remember. I am going back and forth with the voice. They say they will kill me. I say I am right here at my house. I am hearing an old lady's voice crying. I remember I went upstairs and brought my shotgun, I think I had scuffle with my wife. I had the gun in the case. I believe I ate some food I had prepared earlier and I went to bed. In bed I started hearing the voice from the T.V. I had another voice from the balcony calling me. It sounded like my neighbor. I went outside and 3 shots fired at me. I ran inside and picked up the gun. Now I am hearing a lot of familiar voices outside. These are my friends and people I am very close too. They are here to kill me. I know. I shot my gun in the balcony sliding door as a warning shot. I remember this very well. I had no intention of hurting them. I just wanted to scare them. I shot multiple shots some in the front of the house and some in the backyard. Through all this I even got shot in my arms. Thank god it was a flesh wound. When shot I hear a friends voice that he got me.
Somehow I have another friends voice who lives in L.A. guiding me to a police officer waiting for me in back of my house. I am taken in and interviewed, I give a statement which is almost exactly what I am writing with some things I know now. I find out I was put in jail on the 23th and was taken to the hospital on the 26th, the reason they give is I was very dehydrated. My episodes continue, I have very weird dreams. Things like I am walking 30 to 40 thousand wild elephants, all through the streets and people are cheering, I dream I am in Fiji and see my mother and sister there. They actually live in Canada. We are originally from Fiji. I dreamt I was training with Buddhist monks. The dreams don't stop till I wake up on 27th or the 28th, I am not sure.
My troubles continue. I am charged with attempted murder of some police officers who were hiding behind a car that was 100 plus yards away. I also charged with discharging a fire arm in the house and outside the house.
Case is coming up for pretrial hearing. Prior to incident I have no criminal history. I have not received a speeding ticket in a 10 years.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

@ladyd Can you please tell me what supplements and drugs you have tried. Please, I am still suffering and looking for helpful info. Thank you and God bless you.
@thenystagmus OK I found my reply but it says awaiting moderation. So hopefully it will be approved.
The moderation queue is frustrating because by the time it’s approved it’s a page or two ahead and your post gets left behind.
I have been doing VOR exercises, which can be found on the internet, every morning while on my stationary bike. It seems to clear my brain fog completely for the day. Going on 17 weeks after second Pfizer shot and showing very slow improvement.
Vestibular therapy has also been very helpful for me. My doctor ordered vestibular testing and my program is according to the needs revealed by my testing. My health insurance covers my weekly visits, at which I'm given a progression of exercises. It causes me to be challenged in ways that I've otherwise avoided because of the unpleasant symptoms it brings on. Before I started doing it I was getting worse and worse. Avoiding problematic movements only served to make me less and less tolerant of moving. My vestibular PT has cautioned me to only increase my symptoms by 2 out of 10. For instance if my symptoms are usually at a 2/10, not to push them past 4/10. Time between each set of exercises to recover back to my baseline is important for me to be able to complete them. I try to do them early in the day and once more later in the day. As my brain and body learn to compensate, the exercises get easier because they provoke less symptoms. And I'm finding that I'm also more confident to move more throughout the day and my dizziness is slowly getting less.
