I also lost weight and my muscles are like a rag. this is scary . I do not know what to do.
I understand you. I've lost so much weight that people no longer recognize me, i'm like a skeleton😞
I just wanted to say what really helped my heart palpitations was taking Magnesium taurate and Astragalis root capsules. I don’t get heart palpitations any more and my resting heart rate is lower. Just make sure you get magnesium taurate and not another form of magnesium. My chest pains are also less. Now my last symptom remaining is pressure in my head.
@sickofthis I'm not sure what the name of the autoimmune panel was; I know it tested for rheumatoid arthritis, ANA, etc. I would ask your provider to run a full blood workup to rule out autoimmune disorders.
Antihistamines do provide relief for my symptoms, but not because I have allergies; they suppress the immune system enough to temporarily reduce inflammation and (I suspect) temporarily stop the body from attacking itself. Many people suffering from vaccine injury report antihistamines and steroids give them temporary relief from symptoms.
A majority of providers, including my own, aren't receptive to vaccine injuries (i.e. they "don't exist"), and are therefore reluctant to prescribe medications or supplements off-label to treat symptoms.
This is unbelievable, but I've come to realize I can treat MYSELF better than a provider can at this point. Until the FDA and CDC come forward with these adverse effects, doctors will be clueless (willfully so) about how to help us.
@mina aww I’m so sorry to hear. I’m dealing with dry eyes, dry mouth. Headaches off and on, feel like I’m on a boat, restless at times, insomnia is horrible. 🙏
Are you using anything for your dry eyes...this is one of the symptoms I am currently dealing with
@lookingforanswers yes, i have seen a lot of doctors but they don’t want to link it to the vaccine. I pray we will heal with time. Stay strong.
If you look through the many pages, there are numerous people that have had gut issues...seems to be one of the main problems...I myself had them for a good three months...I lost a LOT of weight...my GP gave me a prescription for prilosec for a month...after that, I started on a probiotic and H1/H2 antihistamines...gut health is much, much better...
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.
Went to an allergist last week because I have a rash on my arms, legs and now on my cheeks...they did a scratch test and said I was allergic to NOTHING...Anyway, went to a dermatologist yesterday and was told I have 3 rashes...One on my cheeks she believes is rosacea. Says it is genetic...I know of no one in my family that has/had it...anyway, she thinks something has caused a flare up...Of course! It is from the vaccine...she wouldn't agree, since I had the shot last May...However, I told her my symptoms are still EVOLVING
Hi, Mina,
I would like to share a link, about a case, with some similar symptoms (weight loss, swallowing trouble), maybe an idea is to do tests for the thyroid, which could be affected, in the context of a general disorder of the body, post vax:

@kimm I’m so sorry to hear that you are going through this, I am having the same symptoms as you and some more and it’s been 6 months for me. I was wondering how you are now? Better I hope. Please get back to me when you can, I would love to hear from you. We are all suffering each day in many ways.
I've seen a few people mention thyroid issues since the vaccine, but not much follow-up on that from people. Is this a common thing?
I have recently started having neck/thyroid issues and curious if others are too. I'm 9+ months post JJ vaccine, and have consistently (since day 5) felt lightheaded, feel imbalanced, head pressure, etc. But within the past 2 months also started feeling like my neck was swollen. A neck ultrasound revealed several thyroid nodules, but the doctor doesn't believe the nodules alone would cause this feeling of fullness/swollen. Blood tests show that the thyroid function is fine, but doctor feels like it may be enlarged. I am following up with an ENT on Monday, and hopefully get a neck MRI soon. I don't know if this is related to the vaccine and the other initial symptoms, or just a freak thing, but wondering if anyone else has had similar thyroid or neck issues post-vaccine?
@plandistry thank you. It's helpful.
@plandistry if you don't mind, what can help with high platelets?
My tests showed elevated platelets.
Hello again. Was woken up last night by the sound of my pulse/heart beat. I could only hear it my left ear. It's happened before but I thought nothing of it since it went away within a few minutes. Last night it would not go away. I looked it up and it's called pulsatile tinnitus so now I'm suspicious its new vax side effect. I don't remember seeing any posts on here about this. If any of you have had this addressed, please let me know. Many thanks as always. You all keep me sane 🙂
I previously asked here about drinking coffee again. Has anyone successfully added it back into your life? I think it would help mask/improve my brain fog symptoms, plus I just really love coffee.
Those that have tried, did it make your symptoms worse at first and then did your body get use to it?
I understand your frustration, I too have been in this position. I’m naturally a very impatient person and I’ve perused and sought tests, scans and consultations (probably a lot that we’re unnecessary!) in my endeavor to get to the bottom of this. I’m fortunate enough to have the finances to fund all this as my GP’s initially put it down to anxiety! After seeing many specialists and done extensive investigations an entire group of medical professionals have made a clear cut diagnosis. I am now in the hands of a “specialist” dr based in Chelsea who is treating numerous patients with the same symptoms. Let me know what your symptoms are and maybe I can help!
