Hi All,
I hope you're all doing good and healing like me. I am nearly 8weeks w my only first pfizer shot and the new symptom I have is I'm shedding weight, i mean not that drastic but I felt like my body isn't storing fats/carbs anymore compare with my pre-vaccine. Though I went to purely plant based w little meat on it for more than a mos, I shed around 1-2kgs but I'm back now to 1kg up and still lower than my usual weight and I eat a lot too. My weight is still with in my height range. I have no abdominal pain or any digestive symptom, my bowels are regular and my vitals are also normal. Anyone got symptoms of this? My rhinitis/flu symptoms also tone down, but I'm so sensitive to cold so I still try to expose myself on cold areas just to adapt.
I am thinking to get an MRI to my brain (cos I still have episodes of dizziness, but 2 of my neuros and my family GPs informed me not to avail it us I don't have any symptom at all (which I'm grateful).
Please share me if you're having weight loss issues and what measures did you do?
Cheers to our healing and wellness!!!
Thanks,
Jessie
@jessiekhri I did have weight loss but it was coupled with digestive issues. I am now gaining weight and eat whatever I want again. My bowl movements are more regular now as well.
@jaydev55 Hi Jay. thats good to know. I dont have any gastro issues though, (THank GOD) only the vibrating thing inside me when I lie down but that was at the beginning and its gone. I still have it but normal ones. I'm cautious w my weight, when did yours back to normal? I felt like my body isnt retaining any carbs/fats before. thanks for the input.
@jessiekhri it took about 6 weeks to go away, the GI issues I mean. Nothing helped other then time. I did the same thing during that time, I ate more just to keep my weight up.
@jaydev55 Thats good to know though. Yeah am doing it now, I just cut off the processed/fried and even my coffee for more than a mos since the onset and it helped me. Now, i'm re-introducing them again so that my body can adapt or recognise them as isn't threat. also, do you still have dizziness/blurry version episodes? Did you ever get MRI? My BP, HR and even oz saturation are all normal and I checked w my 2 neuros and family physicians for options of MRI/CT scan but they don't advise it since I have no symptoms at all. Like the rest my symptoms are gone and some are in mild few episodes. truly TIME HEALS.
Thanks again.
Hi everyone,
I initially posted under another thread, and later found this one. I had my 1 Pfizer on Oct. 15 and 8 days later started to have short of breath and some kind of palpitations. My ECG and ultrasound came back normal, and the cardiologist thought I was just having anxiety and prescribed med for it. I’m doing my own research and just found this video: https://www.flemingmethod.com/the-pfizer-vaccine-blood
stay safe and look after yourself. I really appreciate all the useful info and stories shared here. God bless you all!
another important report:
https://www.visiontimes.com/2021/11/04/covid-spike-hijacking-dna-repair-active-immune-system.html
Yeah, I am generally expecting any test I do to be negative- I still want to do them though for peace of mind and to establish a baseline. I've been on Reddit, Facebook, and there is actually a much smaller forum (40ish pages) on this site for neurological issues, muscle twitching, numbness/tingling ect, I see some folks from here over there also. At this point, I am inclined to believe all of my symptoms are neurological in nature.
Still anxiously awaiting results =(
(not a doctor,)- My current uneducated hypothesis: Given the general trend of improvement, hopefully the lack of any positive tests, and the reports from others who have gone ahead of us and been kind enough to report back, Id say it seems likely that my (our) systems just took a serious whack from the vaccine. My hypothesis is for whatever reason we had damage to our nerves. Ive read that spike proteins can cross the blood brain barrier. We also know spike proteins have an affinity for ACE 2 receptor binding, ACE2 is found in the brain, cardiovasular system, and in huge quantities in the intestines. These receptor sites appear all over the body and particularly along the endothelial lining (blood vessels). Furthermore, there has been evidence to suggest only 25% of the vaccine remains local to the deltoid the rest goes into circulation. The bodies vasculature goes from large major arteries and blood vessels to smaller capillaries. Capillaries are very small and thin so as to allow blood to "leak" out onto the surrounding tissues and dump nutrients. Blood typically moves slower in the smaller vessels (typically in the hands and feet). IF the MRNA for spike protein is in general circulation, it would most likely coagulate in the smaller vessels and would have a higher rate of infiltration there also because of the slower pace of blood flow. An endothelial cell that presents spike protein would be destroyed by the immune system. The white blood cells would congregate in these areas, and increase inflammation, also likely reducing circulation temporarily. In doing so they also release cytotoxic chemokines and cytokines (chemical mediators to tell the immune system to keep fighting). If these blood vessels which are already semi porous are damaged its entirely likely that they would leak this cytotoxic material out into the surrounding tissues, and also possible that if there was still circulating mRNA that this could also leak out into surrounding tissues, sort of a "splash over" effect.
What I am hypothesizing is basically that, highly mobile mRNA could have primarily or secondarily caused damage to various tissues based on distribution. This might explain why there is an "umbrella" of symptoms but each person has sort of a unique "finger print" of problems. IF my theory is correct, it should mostly heal over time, depending on the extent of damage, your bodies ability to heal ect- the time will vary.
There is a reason we have a blood brain barrier- its because the stuff in our central nervous system is incredibly important, and also sensitive. The brain is absolutely full of tiny tiny blood vessels, and it is entirely likely that we all "took a hit". My guess is this is where the brain fog comes from. Damage or inflammation to the vestibular nerve resulting in vestibultis can take months to fully recover from and matches many of our symptoms. Furthermore, its well know that VN can be caused from a viral attack.
With regard to nerve pain and muscle twitches- both can be caused from nerve damage AND can be healed over time. Diabetics have neuropathy, it presents in basically the same way as what I have- except I am not a diabetic and the onset for this was remarkably quick. The good news is that it can be healed- once the damage stops, some days or weeks after the repair begins. I think peripheral nerves can heal 1mm per week or something like that. I think it is interesting to note that everyone here has been negative for ALS ect with their EMG tests (the ones that test the big motor nerves). The nerves most people seem to be complaining about are small fiber sensory nerves which you guessed it- are not only the smallest and more likely to be easily damaged but ALSO are fed by very tiny capillaries and can take months to heal. In fact, pins and needles, "electric shocks", muscle spasms ect- which can be signs of nerve damage are also signs of nerve healing.
As far as cardiovasucular issues particular for folks with POTS I am not as familiar with the autonomic nervous system or how it is fed/distributed, but my journey through google hell has lead me to believe that generally peoples symptoms also improve with time- not always, but generally. My guess is that if I did some digging on this Id find a similar pattern.
I could be totally off base here. This is just a guess, and may not apply to everyone's situation. However, it does ease my mind and makes sense to me. Furthermore, it seems like a plausible answer for everyone else who has ruled out every other major issue (negative for auto immune markers, negative for ALS/MS ect) and is otherwise "normal" but still persisting with symptoms.
As far as the non linear healing goes, whenever the body is damaged it causes an inflammatory response. If there is already inflammation increasing inflammation will only make it worse. Like getting a sunburn on your sunburn. Furthermore, resting as much as possible, low stress, and trying to not push yourself too much is probably the best path if this is the case. Not doing so will likely result in relapses. I found a page on healing nerves, thought It might be worth a shot. https://healmynerves.com/blogs/causes-of-neuropathy/neuropathy-recovery-is-absolutely-possible .
Anyways, Its been a rough week. I have been riddled with anxiety and nightmares- reading about all of these diseases has almost destroyed me. I woke up this morning and I had this epiphany. It may be wishful thinking, but maybe not. Given enough time, almost everyone Ive seen who has posted after the first few weeks generally reports their tests are negative and their symptoms are improving slowly. This is not typical of any other known chronic or progressive disease. Unless we got some new weirdness (possible) it could be that the multi system issues we are having are a mimic for autoimmune issues because they were caused by our immune system attacking our own cells which were presenting spike proteins. WHY it happened to us is anyone's guess.
I hope I am right, and I hope you are all doing well =).
How are you feeling now? I see that you had nerve tingling, tremors and nerve pain. Did you get your reports?
What does the report show? I have the same symptoms as you.
Peripheral nerve info, including symptoms of Peripheral Nerve Disorders that may be related to a lot of our symptoms.
Is this cured by the body on its own? Or are we fucked for life?
How are you been feeling these days? What were your symptoms? Did you seek any treatment?
@jaydev55 Thats good to know though. Yeah am doing it now, I just cut off the processed/fried and even my coffee for more than a mos since the onset and it helped me. Now, i'm re-introducing them again so that my body can adapt or recognise them as isn't threat. also, do you still have dizziness/blurry version episodes? Did you ever get MRI?

Thanks again.
How long did your symptoms last?
@jaydev55 yes I had the floaters but they are gone now. I do still have the tinnitus. I would have to say that’s my “worse” symptom. It comes and goes and some days are better then others. I have just learned to live with it.
@jennscout1 great news about the floaters? Can you please describe yours? Were they always there and did you get a lot of them? And how long did it take for them to go away? Was it a gradual change? Sorry about so many questions, but I (like a lot of other on here) have a ton of them in both my eyes and never had them before. Been over 7 months since vax and 5 months since the floater onset with no improvement. TIA!!
@kirkan I wonder what would happen to these larger-than-life pharmaceutical companies (like Pfizer and Moderna) if the truth about the vaccines and the hundreds of thousands they've injured came to light? Furthermore, what would happen to the CDC, FDA, and the politicians who mandated these harmful vaccines?
It looks, that I am not the only one, who got dizzines and balance off and head nerves looks very sensitive. Got 2nd vaccine Pfizer on 18th June and after more than one week still feel these symptomes (especcialy in the evening), while others was gone on third day after vaccine. No one believes me. Took anti-inflammatory medicine a hour ago, cause it seems like nerves inflammation.. hope it will work.
Its been long since you updated this comment. How are you feeling now?
Have all your symptoms vanished?
@pfizervictim Hi there. Have you tried eating fresh pineapple and having turmeric daily? I find that it does help knock the edge off my symptoms which is better than nothing I suppose. If you haven't already give them a try as they are probably the strongest natural anti inflammatory foods you can get. I'm also stuffing my face with baby sweetcorn as they are supposed to be good for the eyes. My eye pain has mostly gone now I'm nearly ten weeks out from my first jab although I do still get random eye "wobbling" at times.
How are you feeling these days? I see the turmeric has helped you cure. How do we go about it? Drink water mixed with turmeric or something else?
Have you been completely recovered from the side effects? What were your symptoms...
Will wait for your response.
Do use the Quote option while replying. It helps in knowing which comment is being replied to.
Take care!
Hi there.
My symptoms were mainly strong pins and needles, weakness and numbness in feet, hands and face. Along with dizziness and joint pain and mild gastrointestinal disorders.
On a good day I feel about 75% better which I never thought I would be saying.
I take turmeric capsules daily from Holland and Barrett and I make myself a cup of turmeric tea before bed which I make using turmeric powder from my spice rack with hot water, honey and ginger.
Hope this helps.
Glad you're recovering! I have chest and nerve pain. And some werid feeling in my heas at times. Did you have anything of this sort?
How long has it been since your shot? I mean, how long did it take for you to recover?
I'm 3.5 months out from my first Pfizer vaccine. I'm still recovering at the moment but I'm most days around 75% better.
I have experienced strong nerve pain for the first 4-6 weeks after my vaccine. After it peaked around 6 weeks it has been very very slowly getting better.
I also experienced strange sensations in my body including insect crawling under my skin feeling, shooting electric pains, heat and burning, coldness under my skin, numbness like when you have a injection at the dentist to numb your teeth, buzzing, whole body vibrations etc. These sensations would occur at different times anywhere on my body including eyes, head, throat, limbs, tongue in my chest etc. It was so scary.
At the times the pain was excruciating and I would lie awake at night crying because I thought it would never go away but thankfully I'm on the mend now.
You give me hope! Did you consult any doctors for the chest pain and nerve pain?
And the other symptoms too? Are you veen taking any home remedies?
I saw my family doctor then saw a private doctor. I was only recommend to take ibuprofen to reduce inflammation in my body. Home remedies are turmeric.
Has Ibuprofen helped you? What were your symptoms if I may ask?
