@sickofthis even after 8 months I still don't know the secret recipe to it getting better. I'm doing exercises for those areas hoping it is and will prevent stiffness as instructed by my chiro Otherwise, moving. On the weekends, if I sleep all day my neck is so bad. Or if I look down for to long or up, like the TV. I found the days I can be active I'm firstly distracted from the pain but it seems like it doesn't jammed up because I'm not fixed in one position to long. That's what helped the most but getting the will and energy to get up moving around on my day off is its own challenge. It also does crack alot, does yours do that too? It's weird....
Yes I thought maybe the vague nerve, as the issues are on the same spot on my neck but there is nothing to confirm that. My chiro said he saw people after the vaccine from similar issues of those neck muscles but because the lymphnodes enflamed and mess those muscles up - although it wasn't months and months ongoing for them.
@barb-larue7gmail-com How long have you been going through this and what other side effects do you have?
@jessm I have terrible gastric inflammation, headaches, vertigo that is awful and on top of all of this I had cancerous tumors removed from my bladder twice in the last few months.
I started to feel really bad several weeks after my 2nd Pfizer shot last April (2021) and then found the bladder tumors in October.
I am fighting the urge to feel my life is over, but I've been housebound for months now.
The vertigo isn't going away and I can barely do simple tasks.
I also have severe balance issues and can barely walk, as I stumble and run into things, so even walking to my mailbox is out.
My friends cannot believe I went from an active, seemingly healthy older woman to this.
I hope you get relief soon. Please keep us posted. Hopefully we all will recover from the misery.
I'm not claiming the shots gave me cancer, but the other symptoms have compounded the misery. And they weren't there prior to the vaccine.
My theory is that my immune system was very weakened and the shots threw it into a crisis.
I'm seeing a holistic, functional doctor who seems to think he can help. Perhaps you can look into seeing one, too? He is all about helping the body to repair itself naturally but he's not entirely opposed to drugs. His staff tells me he see lots of vaccine injured and I think also covid long haulers.
@carini I got my covid booster on 11/19 and I started having weird symptoms on 12/30. It started with left sided facial tingling and left arm weakness. Went to the ER and they gave me a scare about possibly having MS. I went to a neurologist and I have been cleared from the MS scare and Ive had nerve conduction test and EMG done. All tests and labs are normal except for Vitamin D being a little low. I have noticed my vision isnt as clear as it use to be and I have had muscle twitching and calf muscle cramps. I dont know what else it could be. It like I feel completely different. My body is not the same. Woke up this morning and my face and head feels "numb" and so does my mouth and tongue.
@trob i am sorry for all you're going through.
I understand about not feeling yourself. I haven't felt well since last year.
I tell people I feel "poisoned".
I'm hanging on to hope that we all will recover from what appears to be vaccine injuries.
@glenb I have all the same things. My vision is off and I have numbness on my face and in my mouth as well. I’ve had all normal lab, MRI, EMG, Nerve Conduction! Everything normal. My symptoms feel all over the place and it seems that everytime it feels like it’s getting better, it goes back to square one. Smh

How are your symptoms and how long have you had them ? I too am going through and feel I'm just starting !
I've been waiting to get in to see a neurologist for quite some time now but the wait list is interminable. In the meantime, I tried out different vitamins and supplements that had been recommended here and elsewhere. A combo of B6, B12, NAC, and alpha-lipoic acid helped to significantly reduce the tingling sensations for me. It didn't help with the issues I've been having with feelings of muscle weakness/fatigue though so I decided I might as well try out the services of a naturopath while I wait for the neurologist.
I had my first meeting earlier this week. I went through the sequence of symptoms I'd experienced and the steps I'd taken to mitigate it. In the end, she said I was already taking most of the supplements that she was going to suggest I try but she did get me to try a glutathione IV injection. It wasn't a pleasant experience as I broke out in a cold sweat and nearly passed out about 2/3rds of the way through the injection. She said that was not uncommon and may be a result of toxins being flushed out of the system. Having said that, I've felt much better this week. I still get the occasional tingle and some muscle fatigue but it's better than it was pre-injection. Might be something to look into.
@barb-larue7gmail-com I'm sorry you are suffering so much. The vertigo must be terrible. I had it for 3 days not long after my vaccine and it was horrible so I can't even imagine how you feel going through it every day. Mine is more of a rocking feeling and mostly in the afternoons. Whatever these vaccines have done to our bodies is just terrible and I pray everyday that it will eventually go away. Have you had an MRI of your brain? It's ridiculous that drs are not helping us. All of this doesn't happen for no reason. Are you taking any supplements/vitamins?
@jessm Thank you. I believe they did a cat scan last September when they found a malignant tumor on my bladder. But I told them about the vertigo and the apparently found nothing.
I feel pretty wrecked.
I just saw a holistic/functional Dr. Who put me on several things for my horrific gastritis and gerd which appeared a few months after the shots.
So far I'm still the same but hoping for recovery!
My thinking is that since I'm older and had a tumor my body was already severely taxed, I just did not know it. I felt fine before the two shots. Then I fell apart and have been housebound and mostly bedridden. I am trying to have a positive attitude.
Thank you for your kind and understanding words. I agree, these shots seem to have wrecked some of us. We are collateral damage, 😞my friends all got the shots, including the 3rd shot and all are fine.
@mugwump that's good to hear! I hope my new holistic doc puts me on
the glutathione and thanks for the warning! I will brace myself for the possible repercussions!
Thank you for all the suggestions and I'm glad you've seen improvement!! Please keep me posted!
@barb-larue7gmail-com one thing I've learned through all of this is to trust my own mind and body. Drs treat us as if we are crazy but we know when something in our body is not right. Im not saying that the shot gave you cancer but I do believe that you know your body well enough to know it definitely contributed to it. Its so frustrating being dismissed by everyone when they have no idea how we feel. Im constantly being told that its mind over matter, as if im doing these things to myself because I'm telling myself that it's happening! It makes me furious. Where are you from if you dont mind me asking?
@barb-larue7gmail-com I'm from Sydney, AUS. I will definitely keep in touch with you to see how you go with the holistic Dr. I've read alot of people get good results from taking NAC, I have been taking it for a week now so hope to see some improvement soon. Praying for us all x
