I wanted to give a quick update on my status...First and second shot in April and May. Dizziness, headache, and fatigue on and off for 8 months (had no symptoms in July and August). Definitely getting better slowly, but not completely yet. Anyway, finally got some tests done with my ENT. My ENG showed a 33% weakness in my left ear which he said is definitely the reason for my dizziness. Oddly enough I had that exact same percentage weakness in that ear 7 years ago when I was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis. The dizziness 7 years ago only lasted 3 months before I got better. I hadn't had a dizzy spell since then up until I got the vaccine 8 months ago. So, the vaccine 100% definitely awakened my past vestibular illness and like last time it's taking time for my body to adjust. As I mentioned above, I've gotten much better with time and will be going to a few vestibular therapy appointments in hopes of knocking my symptoms out for good!
Have you been offered steroids for this?
@samtay Thank you for the post samtay, very well stated.
A reminder to everyone participating in the Forum that this is a place for individuals that have received the vaccine to share their experiences and to learn about treatments for the side effects. This is not a place to spread antivax information or argue with other individuals about their experiences.
Why is it acceptable for that poster to lecture others about getting the shot they do not want? That poster has made at least two harassing posts to me. I suggest that this forum have the blocking option most other forums have. We are all here to share/gain knowledge, and harassment shouldn't be a part of that.
@isismadec Dragonlover. I read the post you mentioned and it was neither harrassing nor offensive but your response was and it was deleted. Samtay's opinion is their own, as is yours. If there continues to be problems you will be blocked from the forum.
@rosew I'm not sure.. an anti-histamine basically dulls the body's histamine response, which is usually elevated with allergic reactions. It's basically an allergy pill. I hardly notice mine, so maybe try again. It's a pretty common drug, and the 3rd generation have the least side effects.
"In the far off past I discovered that antihistamine knocked me out."
The 2nd generation anti-histamines caused drowsiness - the one I quoted is 3rd generation, and it doesn't. If you're worried, wait until the weekend and try one. But for me other than dulling the vertigo and clearing my sinuses, I feel fine.
Found a few links that shows we're stuck with the long haulers but not sure why will we get this from the vax?🤔
Immune response to the vax or something else...
Her symptoms are same as ours. Doctors got no clue how to treat these long haulers. She finally gave up after 13 months post Covid.
I had read one more article about her not sure if this article speaks about it. But she too had relapses and better days just like us.

Another link talking about this says the below (copy pasting the info)
https://health.ucdavis.edu/coronavirus/covid-19-information/covid-19-long-haulers.html
There's not a lot of information on long haulers, who only recently received attention from experts because it’s also so new. The vast majority of long haulers test negative for COVID-19. There’s nothing specific to test for lasting coronavirus symptoms.
One common theory about patients with long-term COVID-19 symptoms is that the virus possibly remains in their bodies in some small form. Another theory is their immune systems continue to overreact even though the infection has passed.
I wonder if this has an end. Are we going to be stuck in this rabbit hole forever?
If they can't help long haulers, I wonder they can do anything for us.... not so soon at least. They're busy vaccinating.🥺
Who can save us!💔😭
Hello,
I just finished watching a video by Dr. Syed Mobeen - "Spike Protein from Infection or Vaccine Can Be Problematic for Some (An Article Review)" In the video he explains what the authors of the article below were saying...
Dr. Mobeen's take away from the article is how to manage the disease...he explains that his observation from working with long haulers after Covid is that this definitely continues to reduce over time, so this will hopefully not become a chronic life-long anti-body production...he has seen that sometimes it goes on for a year or more but that it continues to reduce in intensity...

I hope none of us have to struggle for long. Hope we get cured in say 6 months or so but definitely not more than a year.🥺
I just shared a post a while ago speaking about long haulers.

I have been in contact with Dr. Murphy (one of the article writers). I am going to contact him again after the first of the year. I’m hoping they will do more research.

Isn't it only fair to reprimand Sam for his use of language when he refers to us as turning this forum into an anti-vax quackery? I personally was offended by this remark because I am not anti-vax and I don't believe anyone here is. I received two vaccines in good faith, little did I know they would have life changing consequences for me. I hope it is only temporary but who knows. Doctors don't have the answers.
Hello.
I’m having some crazy itching on my chest and some weird stuff going on with my stomach.
Is anyone experiencing itching especially on the chest and if you’re having GI issues, what are they?
@medee I did read a scientific article about this. Yes, they think the vaccine antibodies going around Your body can cause adverse side effects - including for the serious people who have the heart inflammation because it mimics the virus. It's not inclusive to our list of side effects but states unwanted vacine effects. I also like you, came to the same conclusion from reading what's available at this time, even before this article came out. I am in no way a medical worker. I do agree the striking resembles with long covid. Although, from what I've read here and have been told by my dr is that this should wear off, and given our immunity goes down with time, so does the side effects. We maybe in the same boat as long haulers. It doesn't mean that we have the same organs damage that some long haulers have.

Yes, I do know we might not have the organ damage they have but I immensely hope we come out of this soon.🙂
