Their Stories

Amnesia, Stress and Memory impairment

Slight dizziness and heart racing

Shortness of breath, tight chest, dizziness and nausea. (Honestly, it could be from extreme stress from work and a last minute deadline to pack my 2 bedroom to move-out for a deadline tomorrow!!!)

I didnt record my first 2 days of symptoms, but I felt feverish, achy and was shivering. Now, 3 weeks later I have such fatigue and I dont know why. I sleep extra and regularly exercise, but this fatigue is unusual and effects my ability to foc

For the past two weeks I've had gastrointestinal issues and diarrhea. I've never had this before for longer that a day or two, and it remains an issue. I'm also more forgetful than ever before and really struggling with brain fog & short-term memory.

Its probably not related, as I work with unvaccinated special ed kiddos that dont wear masks. They had colds and runny noses, but I came down sick with nasal congestion, achy all over, stuffy head, feversick for 4 days. All better now. Inten

Intermenstrual bleeding, Aphonia and Secretion discharge

Sweating

Yesterday (after taking my survey) I had menstrual spotting

Mild rash on the arm where I received the injection

Sore throat, congestion, body aches, tired

Fatigue, muscle aches, nasal congestion, cough, sinus pain.

I've been sick for the past 3 weeks. I took 2 home covid tests, both negative. Early on I had a fever for 2-3 days, and lost my voice. Throughout I've had a cough, runny nose, chest congestion, and fatigue.

I had Covid beginning March 16. I was exhausted in bed for 1.5 weeks. Other than the exhaustion I had mostly head cold symptoms (sore throat, congestion, coughing up mucus, headache).

Blood pressure higher than usual in last few weeks of pregnancy Obgyn

Nasal congestion, sore throat, occasional cough

Orthostatic hypertension, Dermatitis and Rash macular

Overall, tolerable. I expected to be out of commission for the weekend. I already have chronic migraine w dizziness and high fatigue. The worst so far has been the fatigue. Yesterday I had moderate face, jaw and neck pain, plus chest and back pain by my scapula, all on the right side/injection side. Today I still have, but much milder.

Sweats, runny nose, sore throat, tender lymph nodes

Small, sensitive patches of red inflamed skin on face after shower. Still have high fatigue

Hot flash/sweating

dizziness

Orthostatic HYPERtension

Feeling of body temperature change, Respiratory disorder and Secretion discharge

Injection site pain was worse (moderate) between midnight and 8:00 am. Mild pain now.

I think I had a very mild fever due to short mild hot/cold spells

Hot flashes

The pain and itching at the injection site are VERY mild.

Severe headache but I don't think it was COVID related. I occasionally have severe sinus headaches and I think it was one of those.

Respiratory issues ... e.g., mucous coughed up, sinus blocked. But I think this is due to allergies flaring up recently.

Sepsis, Flatulence and Abdominal discomfort

no

these symptoms are probably not related, but my cat bit me and I ended in the hospital for 3 days with sepsis. I am still feeling wrung out. I had tests and treatment for the cat bite in the ER and was subsequently hospitalized

Tired, upset stomach, gas, diarrhea. last week I mentioned my cat bit my hand, and it went septic. This week I am more tired and nauseous with diarrhea sometimes. I dont know if this is related to the cat bite, the immunization, or possibly Covid-

increased pain in joints physical therapy

Fast pulse

Fast pulse, improving

Weird thing happening with a toe. Not sure what it is, or it is vaccine related.

It occurred to me that my sudden burning back pains started around the time of the 2nd shot. They take my breath away, but only last about 5 minutes per incident. They have decreased in frequency, this month.

Still getting random burning pain in regions of back. Becoming less frequent. Lasts about 3 minutes, when it happens, can't function until it passes.

A cold like chest congestion feverish sore throat, chills. Unfortunately I came in contact with someone who had COVID. I went to get the test came negative but I don't think I did it right .

Periorbital swelling, Eye infection and Musculoskeletal pain

From hours 10-20 on day one after vaccine, I experienced intense pain in certain bones, in particular right shoulder blade. Pain rivaled pain of broken ribs, which I experienced four years ago. Fortunately, this pain subsided after 24 hours or so. I still have significant body aches.

Recovered very quickly from severe effects yesterday.

Slight infection in right eye. Hoping this goes away on its own (without antibiotics). Haven't contacted my Doctor yet.

Puffy right eye, conjunctivitis continues. From what I have read online, I believe this could be a side effect of the vaccine.

Mild conjunctivitis continues.

Swelling of right eye continues.

Lymph nodes remain swollen and painful. Doctor has prescribed antibiotic, stating it appears the vaccine has caused them to get "stuck" in overdrive.

Cold-stimulus headache, Anaphylaxis treatment and Neurological symptom

I had a rash on my chest probably caused by adhesive from a heart monitor I wore pre-injection. The rash got worse post injection. Coincidence?
