@jaydev55 I did not have insomina or digestion issues. Sorry if you are experience those. What is making me not 100%, is occassionly, usually in the mornings I have a small flair up, feeling a little dizzy and off, but by the time I get half a bottle of Pedilyte in me it subsides. I think for me, it's about staying hypdrated and keeping electolytes in balance.
If you look into how they treat POTS, it will give you many helpful ways to combat symptoms.
Hello, I’m Macy. I am 30 years old, from Tennessee. I am type 1 diabetic, have POTS, and have had a slight touch of anxiety in the past, but nothing like I’m experiencing since receiving my first round of the vaccine. I started feeling very anxious 4 days after my shot. I didn’t think much of it, until it started progressing daily along with “ tag along symptoms.” I get that random feeling of “doom.” It’s like that empty gut wrenching feeling like something bad is going to happen, then it progresses to me getting extremely dizzy, almost feeling like a human yo-yo. It gets to the point I have to sit or lie down to catch my balance. Then I’ll get that “car sick feeling.” I am happily married with two beautiful boys, who in fact needs a healthy mama and wife. So naturally, me not feeling well just can’t come into play. My doctors have prescribed me buspar, but I’ve only been taking it for a week, so I know I’m not going to see any changes with a snap of a finger. Has anyone else experienced severe anxiety afterwards? How long does it last? Did you get the second vaccine? Did it make your symptoms (anxiety) worse? I am so scared, uncomfortable, and just want to feel normal again!!
I'm so sorry this is happening to you and I have heard quite a few people talk about feeling anxious, for me it went down like this I was two and a half weeks late for my period and 3 days after my mood started to go down. Basically out of the month over two weeks during my cycle I am so anxious and so depressed that I almost go into a state of psychosis. Prior to taking the vaccine I was the happiest that I had ever been after finding ketamine treatment for my depression a year and a half prior to that. I don't know if this is helpful at all all I know is that there are other people that are experiencing mental health issues. It angers me that God knows how many more people are suffering from this and nobody is saying anything
@chelsun very happy for you ! I've got something similar, but an extreme fatigue since 5 months now... did you have this ? Something help ? Take care of you
@chulapepe thanks for your help ! I'm at 6 months after vaccine, and 5 with extreme fatigue, that's my biggest problem. Difficult to be confiant, I hope to be better next months
Hi everyone, I wanted to give an update on trying the Long-Covid protocol. Specifically, I’m in the middle of a 2-week round of Fluvoxamine (doctor prescribed) for the neurological symptoms (internal vibrations/buzzing, tingling in hands and feet, etc). I have to say, I was shocked at how much those symptoms reduced in 24 hours and then have almost completely gone away after several days of taking the drug. Also, for whatever reason, I also noticed a vast improvement in my dizziness the first few days. Unfortunately, I caught a cold and so my dizziness is back (I had an inner ear infection 5 days after my second Moderna dose that left me deaf in one ear and persistently dizzy). So I can’t tell if the dizziness is just connected to the cold and whether it will go away again, but the Fluvoxamine sure has helped with the scary neurological symptoms and possibly the dizziness when I’m not sick. Not sure if that means the neuro-symptoms are caused by anxiety (Fluvoxamine is an SSRI regularly used to treat OCD) or whether it’s the anti-inflammatory nature of the Fluvoxamine or both or whether its just a coincidence, but I am glad I gave it a try. I will report back after I complete my 2 week dosage and give it some time to see if things come back or not. I hope this gives people some hope! Obviously, I’m not a doctor and each case is different, but I’m glad my doc was willing to give the protocol a try with me.
@jonsnow I am in the same boat as you except my ear inflammation left me permanently deaf in one ear. I guess we will all have to make the decision whether to get a booster after all of this. I suspect your age, health, and how at risk you are for COVID will be factors. For me, I’m relatively healthy, in my 30s, and so I’m less at risk with developing severe Covid and am encouraged that they are finding better therapeutic treatments for it now. So personally, I’m not in any rush to get a booster because for me, the vertigo and hearing loss and neurological symptoms that set in a few days after my vaccine dose in May have been life altering.
Yes, they recommended a low dose (5mg) of prednisone and a statin, along with a low dose (81mg) of aspirin per day, for 30 days...
For those that have gotten to 90% or better recovery, has the anxiety reduced to before shot levels?
@mina it looks to be similar. The cardiologist giving you the blood pressure medicine when you don’t have hbp is using it to treat another issue. My experience with new meds is always dizziness so I started taking them at night to sleep through the side effects. I’ve learned to get up slowly and hang my legs off the side of the bed for a few minutes then start my day. I’m only 41 and I remember my 88 year old grandfather would do that and now I see how it helps regulate the blood in the body when dizziness is an issue.
