Hi. Going through this forum and having my own experience with side effects after vaccination I am still thinking about one thing. I was working for pharma company and I know that pharma companies have to collect and record every single adverse event connected with using their products. It is called pharmacovigilance and it serves to evaluate some trends in adverse events when products are used in normal practice. Something that could not be discovered in clinical trials because of limited statistical sample. So you can either report adverse events to regulatory authority (I did this in my case) or also directly to manufacturer. Manufacturer has to record it in database. Do not expect any feedback, it is just recorded in database, but it may help in the future. To show some trends. I was thinking to send link to this forum to manufacturer. They have to go through it. Pharma companies also have to do active monitoring of their official websites and searching for any spontaneous reports. Valid report has to have 4 elements (patient - means person who experienced adverse event, event - symptom, product - vaccine name, reporter - person who reports adverse event. Can ve the same person as patient). There are hundreds of valid reports in this forum. I am just shy to open this pandora box. But I am also sick of being overlooked. We are experiencing this and it is real for us.
@josephine I am so sorry you are going through this. Yes. I experienced fullness in my head. All over. Especially ears, nose, and behind the eyes. The dizzy spells were the worst, but there was a lot going on. I had the pressure behind the eyes and blurry vision. My vision is better but not the great vision I had before and my eyes get tired easily. It took three months and two weeks for me. Everyone is different. I was lucky that my boss understood and I was able to work with frequent breaks and I could talk to her about what was happening and how I felt. Try ice packs. On the head, like a headband, and the neck and shoulders.I feel like I had severe inflammation in my head. Like encephalitis maybe? It was bad. Ice packs and neck massager helped a lot. I was almost constantly panicked but I eventually realized it didn't help and it was also a side effect. I think the shot caused it. Not unwarranted, just much more anxiety than I would have normally felt given the facts, which are you feel like crap, but you're still alive and likely will be. Most of us recover and feel better, it just takes time. This is real and you are not crazy. You will get better. Repeat this and breath. The anxiety really is a sneaky little symptom. I promise I never thought my dizzy spells would break. And the doctors offered no help. I didn't have any hope except this forum. It's why I keep coming back and answering you guys as best as I can. I know how it feels and it is terrifying. You're going to get better. You will. Breathe. I know it sucks. It's been since the first week or so of August since I've had a dizzy spell. So at this point, I've been better the same amount of time I was sick for. Roughly. Hope this helps.
Did your head hurt as well @s-m-a? Like the back of your head and the top of the head?
I feel constant pain, sort of pressure there. I've sometimes have had nerve pain as well in the head.
Did you have anything of this sort? Did anything help you? It might help me in fixing my head as well.
I’ve been having intense leg burning sensation this last week, I’m month 4 now what the hell. Anyone else had this sensation and know what is good to help?
Check out this link. Burning can be a sign of healing. I've experienced it myself since the Pfizer vaccine. Hope this helps put your mind at ease a little.

@nath7 has the burning subsided for you?
How long did it take for it to finally go away? I have it for almost more than 2 months now.
My family has been crying since the day I got these symptoms. I cannot lock the door even when I go for a bath since all of this began coz who knows what will happen to me. I have to keep the door unlocked. Just in case....
I deep down feel I won't make it for long. 2 months ago I was a happy person, planning my future. Now I am scared, my family will be homeless as I'm the only earning member and live on a rented accommodation. They everyday have to check if I am still breathing. Cry out their heart to the Lord to heal me. I can't concentrate at work nor can I tell them what's happening to me coz nobody believes. My reports state this is all anxiety which we all know it isn't. We've nowhere to go.
Every few days or weeks new symptoms show up. I hear weird sounds from my stomach, bone craking sounds etc. These weren't even there a few days ago.
What is happening to us? This is pushing us to death either out of frustration from health issues or by killing us slow. We just voluntarily took in poison without even knowing it is slowly killing us.
And that's another thing...if people had been adequately informed about the potential risks and side effects and had VOLUNTARILY chosen to take that risk, that's one thing. Their choice. But we weren't adequately informed about the possible risks and side effects, and in some cases people were FORCED to take it to keep a job. All of this is SO WRONG.
And now they are spewing even more lies, talking out both sides of their mouths. On one side they're saying the "vaccine" (and I use that term loosely) isn't effective against the omicron. On the other side they continue to push the shot anyway. I have to wonder if they are trying to kill us one way or the other.
They also say Omicron isn't as severe as delta and has mild symptoms. Covid has almost reached endemic stage.
So we're dying at the moment when this is soon going to turn endemic? Also do not understand why only a few of us are stuck in this! Are people won't felt all okay right now going to have a delayed reaction?
I saw a post on Instagram and a few here as well who had symptoms 2-9 months post getting jabbed. How odd is that!
My stomach growling is increasing as I'm typing this. I feel like I'm going to puke a frog out. I wish suicides were easy! I hate myself for speaking negative but I am scared of my health deteriorating with every passing day.
my grandma is starting to have symptoms now. she doesn’t believe me when i say they are realted to the vaccine. she got vaccinated like 8-9 months ago. she keeps getting dizzy, having hearing loss and now her ringing in her ears is loud as hell. also having back pain and inflammation. it’s sick.

@medee I have nerve pain in my head and an all over headache that doesn't go. I've done some research and my symptoms mostly match occular migraine and holocranial headaches. I'm not taking any medication for them at the moment.
@medee yes. For sure. I had a lot of head pain, headaches, head pressure. It felt like a head cold all the time but without the mucus. It was constant. In the temples, in the nose, in the ears. I really feel like my head was severely inflamed. There were two times in my life that I remember having the worst headaches I have ever had. First, after I caught Covid, and they lasted for a few months and were excruciating. The second was after the second Pfizer shot, and they were just as bad but had a whole slew of other symptoms at the same time that I didn't have with Covid, like the dizziness and head fullness. I found that my muscles in my neck and shoulders and all the way up my neck were very badly swollen and bulging. This was terrifying because they were noticeably larger. And I got a neck massager and started with the cold compresses and daily massages. It really helped all around. It made them sore, but looser and I think some oxygen finally started to get to my brain. Also, I had only one day of not being dizzy in the middle of all of this before the last time. The last time I had a very severe migraine. The worst, barr none, of my life. It hurt for two days and my temple was actually sore. And sore to the touch. But I didn't get dizzy after it like I expected to be and I haven't been dizzy since. As far as stomach issues, it maybe the supplements. I did have a stomach infection right after my symptoms stopped. Like a few weeks and it was an infection. I had a scan and everything. High WBC count, the whole nine. I ended up getting my yearly colonoscopy and some strong antibiotics and steroids. The MRI showed inflammation from start to finish through my whole digestive tract. I don't relate it to the vaccine, but possibly the supplements or medications I was taking could have made it happen. Or a random infection that coincided with the end of all those symptoms. I really don't know, but it was awful and you should get up a GI appointment if you are worried. I can't say it was the vaccine, but it did happen and I figured I would mention it given your symptoms. Go to the doctor. THAT symptom can usually be solved with some steroids. I was at the point where I hadn't eaten anything and I couldn't eat anything and I was in pain and all of that because I refused to go to the GI doctor until I couldn't stand it anymore. It would have been much more manageable if I had just gone when it started. At least have some blood work done to see if you have a gut infection. All of this is terrible. It seems never ending, and I felt like giving up so many times, but a lot of it, like 90 percent, is the anxiety caused by the shot. It's involuntary and it's real. You have to get control over it. Call your doctor and ask for some anti anxiety pills if you have to, but you will heal faster when you can breath through it. You aren't dead yet and neither are we. I know how you feel. I thought it over and over that this shot was going to kill me. I had it set in my mind so that any new thing or recurrence of an old thing would set me off on days on end of how I was dying. It is a symptom. I am convinced of it. Take it one day at a time. You are still here. You can get better. You have to tell yourself until you believe it. When the anxiety breaks some, it really helps other stuff too. Breath. Neck massager. Cold compresses on the head and neck. Call your doctor. It takes time.

In my long response, I think I said MRI scan, but it was a CT scan. My brain fog has never completely left me since March of 2020, when I caught this thing.
@lmkk That’s a good idea. I love omelets. Yes, I agree that the buzzing seems to worsen when tired. I also notice that it intensifies when I’m stressed. I’m really hoping that the turkey tail and lions mane mushroom supplements will help once I start taking them. I’ve read some good things about them. I will say my doctor told me it could take 30 mos for the entirety of the vaccine to be out of my system, but I’ve seen some improvements already, so I’m praying this all clears up way before then!

🥺🥺 Is everyone going to have some sort of reaction sooner or later?
As much as I know, this is not the end of human race but, I wonder what is going to happen to humans in a few months! This is dangerous than C at so many levels!

You still have it? OMG!
Did you do any tests for it or took any doctors advise?
I have a sister who is a registered nurse at a hospital in Boston, MA. She contracted Covid-19 in March of 2020. During this time she lost her sense of taste and smell and developed tinnitus. It took a full year for her sense of smell and taste to come back, and it took a good 6 months for the tinnitus to go away. She said at times the tinnitus was the worst...
She did go on and got both doses of the vaccine and none of the symptoms she had from Covid-19 returned.
She also told me if my tinnitus is from the vaccine (which it DEFINITELY IS!) then it is only temporary...
Has the tinnitus gone away?
Many of us are having it post the jab. If yours is cured, we can hope for the same.
Please do reply.

Thank you! I am trying my best to take it one day at a time. But it wears on you most of the times, especially when you continue getting new symptoms every now and then.
Unlike you, I cannot take any medication as all the tablets I took in these 2 months only made my condition worse. It didn't work on me. Maybe I would've been at a better place both mentally and physically had I not gulped all the tablets prescribed. But who knew how this all works.
Unfortunately I do not have any medical help here in India. They just snap at you and laugh it out or ignore your injury. Things have been difficult for me. You won't believe but the Cardiologist I last saw didn't want to believe me and asked for a Psychiatric advise.
He told my mom to wait back and spoke to her separately telling her that I am all scared and this is anxiety. When she told him it isn't and how messed up my condition has been post vaccine, he asked both of us to see a Psychiatrist. How inhumane and unprofessional is that!!! And these are well reputated specialists with the highest ratings!
I am still trying to look for a doctor who could help me with some blood works and prescribe some supplements accordingly. Even for that I have to struggle coz they just don't want to speak or hear anything about it. We don't have any Naturopaths here nor Functional doctors. Have a couple but don't seem legitimate and would charge a lumpsum amount for a 2-3 months diet plan which you have to pay in one go.
I tried to speak with the Neurologist about inflammation and he said it could be or cannot be but there's no test to rule that out. I didn't know if what he said was true. I knew he doesn’t want to speak about it. This is how things are out here.
I just wonder how many people must be there in my overly populated country who have no where to go, no help, no resource. Don't see anyone here talking about it but have heard there any many in every locality suffering in silence coz if they speak in the open, maybe they will be attacked and nobody has the strength when we're already down with so many symptoms. Moreover the crowd is poor ir earn minimal wage or salaried people. They cannot do much. We will be easily suppressed.
I just hope something works out for me. Hope I come back soon and update a recovery post. Not sure when but I hope the day comes soon.

sorry to report that it is still with me...
Have you checked with any ENT? What aboyt your sister?
@gingerjones Not cured, still persistent but I've heard from other recovering completely from it even a year out. Mine is not debilitating, only loud on occasion when I drink too much caffeine.
People, people! Stop worrying it will only make you feel even more anxious and miserable. The Human race is gonna be fine, the world is gonna be fine, we're gonna be fine!
All it takes to heal is time, either time our body needs or time researchers need to find a cure for us.
Before you ask; I'm almost 6 months out and not better, but I believe I'll eventually get there no matter how long it takes.
