@medee I really do think that staying calm, positive and distracting yourself from these feelings and also the thoughts about them really helps. I had a few bad days where it all seemed to flare up but I was overthinking everything and panicking that Im going to have some serious health issues etc as a result . Then I spoke to my Dr who was quite reassuring. She said all vaccines can cause nerve flare ups but these covid ones are a lot stronger and generate a stronger immune response. She also said nerve pain generally always goes away with time, some people may just take longer than others. It's now just a case of either trying out different meds that will ease the symptoms, or just riding it out till our bodies naturally settle everything down. Since I had the talk with my Dr my symptoms are still there but i notice them a lot less and I'm focusing on other stuff. Some days I don't notice them much at all and I can see certain body parts which used to have nerve pain have now gotten better. So I definitely believe we should all try to minimise our anxiety about this as much as we can.
I didnt have ear pain but I did experience some tinnitus type symptoms a few times but they were very mild and passed quickly.
My neuro prescribed me gabapentin as well and I took it for a few days but felt spaced out and not myself so I stopped it.
I think the best bet is to just keep believing that your body is healing and this will all go away soon!
Did you have a weird feeing in your head as well and ny sort of muscle weakness too?
I see that you've mentioned about your Dr and then Neuro. Just wanted to know if the nerve flare-up was said by the General Practitioner or the Neuro. If this is coming from the Neuro then it sounds like some relieving information.
Also did your Neuro do any tests on you?
Pls do use the QUOTE option while responding. You take care!
Hi much of what you say is true when you are distracted and doing things you seem to notice the pain less being calm and not being anxious helps as well I fine to . About the weird feeling in your head I found initially with the vaccine that it made me hyper active and wasn’t able to sleep properly having insomnia things have calmed down since but not quite They’re yours before the vaccine. I noticed also my blood pressure and heart rate we’re up and now I think it’s coming down again. It was me who mentioned the nerve pain pins and needles and burning sensations to my GP and br there yet before the vaccine. I noticed also my blood pressure and heart rate were up and now I think it’s coming down again. It was me who mentioned the nerve pain pins and needles and burning sensations to my GP And heart pounding sensation did a ECG and blood test came back normal but didn’t feel normal to me after the second opinion from another doctor he referred me to a neurologist but I can’t get in till early next year I am trying to maintain a healthy diet and rest hoping this condition will slowly go away I am about just over seven weeks from first Pfizer jab things are calming but not gone for people out there there is hope
Don't go to the Neuro, it's useless. I went yesterday and I had one of the worst nights. The side effects from the meds were terrible. I had a very very high heart beat. High palpitations. It was crazy!
When I told my issues, he seemed unsure but was all ears. He told me it could be some sort of chemical reaction in the brain from the vax which is causing it to send such signals to the body and so the symptoms, which I think makes complete sense why our reports come back normal.
I asked him if this can be inflammation, to which he said there's no way to find out if it is or not.
He also added that the brain is accustomed to act in a certain way (anxiety related). The brain is just gotten used it. This I was telling him about how I felt this is all anxiety when I was telling him about the chest pain.
He said since the pain is not continuous, it cannot be a severe thing and must go off in time. Just like someone here said on some post "Our condition is regressive and not progressive!" I will stick by it.
- I am currently on Vitamin D supplement, which I will continue. Will stop the rest of the meds and no more doctors. Its all useless.
- Continue having anti inflammatory foods
- Intake of lots of water and fluids
- Get proper rest
- Keep faith and pray
This is all I think I should do. If my body heals, great! Now we're our only hope. Our bodies are strong enough to keep us alive all through this and is still fighting to. Let's take one step at a time. Keep faith our bodies are in the healing process already.
Also one more thing, I have noticed the more we're busy, lesser are the body's symptoms. I guess, there is some catch here. Maybe the brain is acting up when we're not doing anything or getting anxious. Maybe!
I am I have the same thinking as well when I go to the neuro that they won’t find anything that they couldn’t pinpoint but I will still give it a shot just in case I think as time passes speaking for myself things are getting better it has to be some sort of reaction like you said with the brain and the strength of the vaccine It seems like maybe our bodies are trying to fight it and that’s why we maybe experience the symptoms we are feeling. Trying to look after yourself physically mentally and eating well and look at strengthening the immune system through good eating I guess our bodies have been through a lot of stress and has probably taken its toll on our immune system The pins and needles for me seem to be calming naturally over time way down from the levels originally experienced for all the people out there there is hope that things will get better it will just take time for your body to heal and readjust that’s what I am finding if you don’t look after yourself during this period you are not doing your body any favours so everybody out there just eat a little bit better try not to drink too much or smoke and give your body the best chance at a full recovery. Like yourself I find when you are doing things and busy your mind is taken away sometimes from the condition that you are experiencing which is good because sometimes you can overthink things and you can have negative emotions which can affect your bodies health to everybody out there you aren’t the only one experiencing this there are many others with time and care symptoms will improve speaking from experience .
@tinglyin2021 it helps me a lot. I didn’t start feeling better until I start the vitamins. It cleared up the brain fog too
Did anyone went for their second shot after experiencing numbness, dizziness, headaches?
Hello, Iam new here. Came across this site after a google search as I am trying to figure out what to do next. Got my first vaccine shot (Moderna) on October 2nd. 2 days later started getting a sore right shoulder at the injection site. Typical I know. 1 week later it still didn't go away. Fast forward to 1 month after getting it, my soreness still exists but I get it also in my right side trapezius (upper neck/back muscle) as well as the pain radiating down my arm into my bicep and forearm. Right side only. It's intermittent the level of pain experiencing. I would say from a 2-6 on a scale of 10. 5 days ago I started developing pins and needles tingling feeling in the same right arm and down to my right hand. That comes and goes. Yesterday and today I have been getting all of this plus very faintly feeling the tingling going on in my legs and feet. I am a graphic designer so I sit, type and use the mouse all day. I messaged a Neurologist today to make an appointment. Anybody else have something similar to this with the Moderna shot? I have read a lot of you who got similar side effects from the Phizer and had to wait it out anywhere from 6 weeks to 8 months. Thanks for any help. I went down to Walmart today and picked up Nervive Nerve Relief supplement in hopes maybe it will help.
Anyone else experience lip tingling? That usually leads to whole face tingling, even their head?

Hi. I had my pins and needles start after my first Pfizer but I've read tons of posts within the VeDa website of people who got it after all the other vaccines Inc moderna, Johnson and Johnson, astra Seneca, the Russian sputnik vaccine and the sinopharm one. You are not alone. I'm nearly four months out from my Vax with symptoms begining 30 minutes after the jab. The good news is it does get better with time (never thought I'd be saying that I had it so bad in the beginning) but it's the slowest recovery process I've ever known. I'm feeling about 75-80% better most days now. It may get a little worse before symptoms start to ease and there are also lots of flare-ups along the way but we are all making process with recovery. Some recover quicker than others. Best advice is to help your body by getting rid of excess inflammation. Take lots of turmeric and b vitamins.

Yep! Lip tingling, tongue, throat, roof of mouth, face, eyes, feet, hands...you name it I've been tingling there at some point! It dies down after a few months.
Anyone else paranoid they are having a herpes outbreak? The symptoms sound similar to herpes prodrome. Look it up if unfamiliar
@jkro Hi Jesse,
I hope you find some relief soon. I also am experiencing these same symptoms that you mentioned after my 2nd Pzifer dose. My extensive blood work came back normal and my CT scan is also normal. I am waiting to see a Neurologist. I have eliminated dairy from my diet and eating foods high in vitamin C and lots of greens. I am also taking turmeric - all of this seems to be helping. I still have dizziness and episodes of sore painful tingling legs but the frequency of this pain is less than when I first started to experience. Stay positive.
@lmkk thank you for sharing your experience. I hope that you feel relief soon. Like many others on this forum, I can relate to all of your symptoms after the Pzifer 2nd vaccine dose. From my experience, the doctors that I’ve seen so far, have not associated the body tingling, painful legs, dizziness and limited ability to walk with the vaccine - even though, I am certain that it’s all related. I am waiting to see a Neurologist but I’m bulking up on turmeric, vitamin b’s, magnesium and lots of green veggies to help with inflammation in the meantime. Start positive. I will look out for your updates.
@tinglyin2021 could be possible I think. I know there is talk of other things being reactivated with Covid such as Epstein Barr.
@lmkk hi, i have all this. Now 2.5 mth already. How long dif yrs tske to go away?
Do u this have all these?
I am so tired of living
