I am sorry this happens to you. I regret getting the vaccine as well. I got it out of fear and pressure and my friends and families who got vaccines are all fine so I thought I might be okay. It’s been 6 months for me now but I still have hope that these symptoms will go away with time. Winter doesn’t help because I can’t really exercise outdoor and because I have only one shot, I am not allowed to do anything fun anywhere (not allow in gym, restaurant, movie theater, dine in, etc.). This restriction make it harder to cope because I feel like I have these side effects from the vaccine that they pushed you to have and then they wouldn’t allow you to enjoy doing stuff because you don’t feel safe to get the second dose.
@nawpan plus the stress, loneliness, and mental strain from not being able to do the things that help relieve stress or be understood by a all those beholden to a system.
I’ve tried to redefine myself. I’ve taken up learning music and try to stay out of depression for my family. They are the grinches that stole Christmas but we can still sing Christmas songs.
the right to treat act and the courts are starting to finally act on the heels of these side effects,
I am so sorry you are all having more anxiety after the vaccine. I have been more anxious too, only because I have had tingling sensations throughout my body, along with sporadic mild pain throughout. The tingling started 12 hours after my flu vaccine on November 1st and have continued. It subsided a little when I received my Pfizer booster 8 days ago, but 5 hours after that I started getting the sporadic pains throughout, in addition to the tingling sensations. Five days after, I had inflammation and heat behind my left eye on and off for a few days. I ice it and it helps. I go to a holistic doctor (MD) who gave me a post vaccine protocol, which I am following, which I am hoping is helping:
Fish Oil 1,000 mg twice daily (for inflammation), Nattokinase NOW brand 100 mg twice a day (to improve blood flow) and trying to drink 8 glasses of water daily.
I am waiting for my doctor to give me the name of a neurologist to see. My extended family keeps trying to say that it should still be worth getting future vaccines, but I told them I am unsure at this point, even though I know the alternative is catch Covid and die, if I get a bad case of it. If this continues, I may just take my chances, but I know that this creates a problem, since I may never see my family again (or have to wear masks for them). I am just glad that I quit my store job in November of 2020, due to potential exposure from customers that improperly wore masks.
I am wondering if you think the fish oil is helping? I just started taking it and have not noticed a difference yet. How are your symptoms? Has your holistic doctor given you anything else to try?
I received my 2nd Pfizer shot on March 31st, a couple days later I started to feel dizzy, nauseous and my blood pressure was elevated. I have never had a problem with my blood pressure, a few days later I had pressure on the top of my head I thought my head was going to explode. Went to the emergency room, they thought I had a mini stroke, I did not. Went to an ENT and had extensive tests and they “thought” I had a damaged vestibular nerve from a virus. It finally went away only to return again. Now going to a inner ear specialist as no one knows what’s wrong
I too am having an elevated BP and dizziness with no previous history of either. Did they say anything about your BP and why it might be high? I saw in a recent post that you thought you were close to normal, does that mean your BP has returned to what it was before? Anything help you during your recovery or just time? Thanks.
@twitch yes my neurologist tested me for that and it was negative
How are you now? 🙏🏼
so I rememeber reading that for the regular flu vaccines to work, it drains quite a bit of iron/b12 from the body. Have you all considered going on iron/b vitamin supplements?
because a lot of the symptoms you all are talking about , are known symptoms of low iron - pins and needles, light headedness, fatigue.
i just took a Pfizer booster shot and started feeling really hungry a lot of the time and foggyminded, so I will be taking Feroglobin, which is a great iron/b12 supplement.
The initial vaccine I got was Astra Zeneca, and I had few side effects - tinnitus, menstrual cycle was affected and read online about this iron/b12 link to vaccines and tried it. I think it helped.
you all should try it! Or at least get tested for iron/b vitamin deficiency

Hiya. How are you doing since your post? I have much of what you describe here. You are also the first person I have read who mentioned the black flashes in the vision. I get the black flashes too. My eye exams reveal nothing. Have you had any explanation for what is causing it? I'm waiting to see a.
I'm 4 months In pfizer shots. My symptoms have subsided.

Thanks for the super fast response. Great to hear your symptoms are subsided. I'm 5 months out and my symptoms are much improved too. It's the black eye flashes that are lingering. They don't cause pain and only last a split second but I wish I knew what was causing them. My doctor is stumped. Best wishes and happy new year to you.
- What is black eye flashes??? Never heard of that.

Hi again. Sorry I confused you and the poster @danwood012 Their original post is further above on this thread. The black flashes as danwood lists are what I can only describe as nano second glitches in my vision that feels like black flashes. It's a strange phenomenon and @danwood012 is the first person I have read who has exactly what I also have had.
@kay1974 hello. I’m having chest pain and it has been a month since my 2nd dose. Can you describe your chest pain?
