@mina My chiropractor & naturopath /acupuncturist & primary care care dr.s have told me not to get booster. Take lot’s of vitamins, sleep, exercise, eat healthy , wear a mask , stay out of crowds is what I will be doing to heal & stay safe. We are on our own when complaining about our vax side effects- I really feel no one cares, so I like this forum . Also thankful for my dr.s _ I have been with them for 20+ years so I trust their advice & don’t feel like I am doing something wrong by not getting boosted...
Has anyone had to get the booster? I suffered from severe vertigo following the second dose. I am a healthcare worker and required to get the booster by the end of the month or else lose my job. I am going to my primary to see if I can be exempt. If she doesn’t, I don’t think I can go through that again.
Same here...I cannot bare the thought of having to get a booster...So far, it has not been mandated in my company...
@lukenick What has tylenol and zyrtec cause? Is there a problem with both of them together?
Hi, Pgreen,
A good site to check interactions is:

I checked, there seems to be no problem with this association.
@sara90 Any news on your test about the sharp pain on your chest? Mines are milder, Neurologist said can be the cover of the nerve that is somehow worn out. They did electro and ecocardiogram and all good and I know is not related to the hurt cos sometimes is in my right chest. I am gonna have a electromamiogram to check the nerves on that area next week. Anyway I feel it gets worse when I eat with lots of salt or sugar. I don't know if you experience the same.
Well the ENT was little help to me. Although she did say that she cannot rule out that the vaccine caused this, so that was a first of all the doctors that I have seen. She was great to talk with about my symptoms but provided little help as all my previous results and hearing results came back normal. I asked about vestibular neuritis and doing a VNG and she said if we did a VNG the results would likely just have her refer me to physical therapy. She said vestibular neuritis would likely improve by itself, but cannot guarantee it would completely get better. If i did have vestibular neuritis (like others here have been diagnosed with), I don't see the connection to that and the other symptoms I have been having (tingling in extremities, increased BP, neck pain, brain fog, fatigue). So maybe vestibular neuritis is one thing among many that is happening?
Personally, I still think it is an immune issue and/or inflammation issue. Then next condition I am on to try and rule out is lupus. I know nothing about lupus, but has anyone's dr ruled this condition out? If so, how? Or does anyone think this is unlikely given our symptoms? Again I know nothing about the condition.
@sickofthis I think there are blood works that you can do for lupus that checks the antibodies. I think I got those and they were negative.
Totally sucks. Just came to say that I had a lot of the same symptoms you described. Tingly head, pressure in head/face particularly behind my eye. Constantly lightheaded, etc. But I got the Johnson Johnson vaccine. Going on 9+ months now and only slightly better than it used to be. I regret getting the JJ vaccine, but sounds like any of them could have caused this. Hope we all get back to normal soon!

Any clue what these test were?
Update -
Spoke to my rheumatologist. Of course he said my symptoms was from my fibro... (Which doesn't react this way for me) He is sending me for more bloodwork and will see me in 4 months. He is checking my thyroid, anyone else had that checked? Told me to carry on, exercise which I am.
I've been doing chiro appointments, he told me that the muscles in my neck are probably messed up because when I got the shot 7 months ago, my lymphnodes enflamed and my muscles got jammed up and never returned to normal. This led to my current neck issues and with time, weakness. He has me doing exercises for those muscles. He said that would build strength and change the muscle memory to stop my muscles from getting tight in the same way over and over.
This week my husband and I suspect we have COVID. I don't have all the regular symptoms but he does. My tremors and lightheadedness were bad one day almost to starting point, then my brain fog. Today I feel 80% as good as I can. No tremors. I assume the antibody are doing something.maybe cancelling each other out? Who knows but I've felt better then I did before even if I had that set back this week.
Some updates on this roller coaster journey. Haven't had the booster just 2 Moderna shots 7 months ago. Another suggestion is track, track, track everything. Including your supplements/treatment/meds and symptoms. You will learn patterns and flare up. There are good apps (like flaredown) that will help you do that and even show you graphics. Information is key and you can upload an excel document and share that with your doctors.
@sickofthis Its not lupus specific but ANA and along side regular routine blood (checks your white and red blood counts) test. https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-an-antinuclear-antibody-test But ANA is a specialized tests, not rare but it also checks for rheumatoid arthritis and other common autoimmune diseases. Not sure where you live, but here in Canada, because my family doctor was not just routinely checking me for common autoimmune (which is dumb because we have alot of immune system stuff going, even if they disagree with the vaccine - hence from our head to toe symptoms, they should void common autoimmune) so I went to a walk in clinic and got the blood work from another doctor (didn't say it was the vaccine but told him my symptoms and that I wanted to void auto immune). An idea if your family doctor is hesitant to test you for stuff. Some on here have gotten positive ANA but not everyone, but if you do, you can also have more specialized care from a specialist, If it was positive.
I'm back from my provider's office and once again left with no answers. I had a brain CT, x-ray of my spine, and an autoimmune panel that all came back "normal." I'm thankful I'm free from any serious illness, but incredibly disheartened by the entire experience. I don't FEEL "normal." There is SOMETHING wrong and it's frustrating that my provider isn't willing to look further into it. I didn't bother showing her the Science article about COVID vaccines causing long-haul symptoms; after telling me I was in perfect health and that my issues were likely caused by allergies, I could tell she wouldn't be receptive. Thank God for my own abilities to research supplements and holistic treatments - and a HUGE thank God for this forum, because without it, I have no idea what I'd do.

Hi Marta, Ive had a mammogram and ultrasound and they were both clear. The pain I had in my breast has subsided. It lasted about 2 months. I’m happy to hear you’re feeling better!

I definitely share your frustration. May I ask what the autoimmune panel is called? Does the bloodwork have a certain name? It is great that everything came back normal, although I understand the frustration. Have you tried taking an antihistamine? That way if it didn’t help you then you could tell your Dr that to maybe show them it’s not allergies.
