Complications with my heart, continued difficulty breathing, BP drops low, lightheaded and dizzy spells, very weak voice upon physical or mental exertion, numbness & swelling in hands, legs, & feet when I do anything, and mental confusion.

Poor quality sleep, Abdominal pain upper and Insomnia

I did not sleep well last night which is not uncommon for me. Headache and stomach ache often accompany lack of sleep for me, so these may not be related to the shot.

Soreness under left arm (same arm as injection) - maybe swollen gland

Mild pain under left armpit (arm where shot was given) - maybe swollen gland

Poor sleep last night

I'm having some issues in terms of balance. Im thinking its an after affect of having had covid in 2020. Maybe the virus had an effect on my inner ear. Its not a serious issue.

Menstruation irregular, Injection site bruising and Peripheral swelling

Tiny bruise at injection site.

This was present within 1-2 weeks after my 2nd vaccination, but I kept attributing both symptoms to other causes. After ruling out other causes, the only difference was recent vaccination. Symptoms: Irregular periods, persistent finger swelling.

I still have mild axillary swelling on the side of the injection.

I contracted covid

On April 11 I went to the ER with flank pain, an MRI indicated hydronephrosis from a 6.9mm kidney stone. I currently have a stent and will have another surgery on June 8 to break the stone up. I don't think it is covid or vaccine related.

Not sure when I last checked in but in April I was diagnosed with a large kidney stone, it was subsequently removed.

Chest pain not increased by moderate activity

Yesterday I referenced chest/back pain with attendant elevation of pulse rate during exercise. That is resolved. I had an EKG and it was normal. The working diagnosis is that it may be related to stress on my heart due to increased activity in my immune system. Office visit with PCM

Red rash on palms of both hands

Headache, shortness of breath

Brain fog, Decreased appetite and Asthenia

No nausea, but no appetite.

Less than typical appetite.

While I dont have symptoms today, yesterday, after I had already completed this check-in, I started to feel poorly, tired, not very hungry, almost felt as if I was getting fever. Similarly, the day before, after I had completed the check-in, I developed a fever of 102.6...my point being that if you want an accurate accounting of peoples side effects, perhaps a check-in later each day would be advisable.

Some nausea, and sometimes a feeling of malaise, like Im getting sick, but actually didnt.

Decreased appetite, malaise

Diarrhea

I answered this request too early yesterday. For the record, in addition to feeling feverish and tired all day, I also experienced brain fog/spacey feeling. Today, all gone.

superficial vein thrombosis still present

Injection site hemorrhage, Impaired work ability and Somnolence

My first shot was so easy that I didnt think a shot was given to me. If it wasnt for a very small dot on the band-aid and some achiness in my right shoulder I wouldnt have believed it at all. The second shot; however, was a completely different experience. Maybe the lack of quality health care worker experience I felt the needle jab into my arm; Instantly sore and the band-aid was full of blood. Body started feeling achy that evening. The next morning everything hurt like I was in a 9 round heavy weight fight where all my joints and muscles ached and my left arm felt like it took a beating the worst. Took the day off and slept waking up every 2 to 3 hours feeling a little better each time. The next morning (roughly 38 hours after the shot) I awoke feeling no pains, aches or even an indication in my shoulder that I received a shot. Day 3 feeling great and doing well.

Blood cholesterol increased, Influenza like illness and Anosmia

Swollen lymph node, left side, base of neck

Ear ringing has been ongoing since injection. The other symptom Im struggling with is my glucose level. Harder time keeping it controlled.

sore throat all this time - not sure if allergies???

Scratchy throat. Left lymph node in neck swollen.

Sore throat continues. Very tired.

Joints are very painful. Cholesterol is elevated so I was put on medication. Just alway tired.

Sore throat, headache, fatigue. Tested negative for COVID

Extreme fatigue, body aches, low grade fever. Just feeling like I have the flu. Comes and goes. Some days I feel pretty good, others it's Advil/Tylenol just to get through the day.

Musculocutaneous nerve injury, Nerve block and Skin weeping

Lips blistered a bit 20 min after shot- took two Benadryl and subdued it.

I had surgery on a wrist one week after the Covid vaccine. Surgery 2/15 shot 2/8 I had complications after surgery from the nerve block tourniquet on the upper left arm- my bicep wasnt firing at all for over 8 days. Tiny muscle twitch at 11 day MRI on arm

A little short of breath- flushed- increased heart rate for about 20 min. Started 5-10 minutes after shot

I have Crohns- feels like 1/6 of a flare- may not even be shot related

Mild cough

While I am writing that I feel OK now - I am still curious about having a nerve block injury to my bicep during surgery a week after the first shot. My bicep is still going to need to repair from that nerve injury- and Im hearing it will take months so Im glad Ill get the use of my bicep back but Im curious about the relation to the Covid shots

Hives at injection site- plus torso back and ankle

Nausea chills muscle aches - same way I felt right after vaccine-its just come and gone and come and gone ALL month. :(

Blisters in ears that ooze and bleed every few days-rash around my eyes. ConFirmed muscolocutameous nerve injury from surgical block on 2/15 1 week after 1st shot- nauseous on and off for the first four weeks after the 2ndvaccine and just exhausted

Tinnitus, ear fullness, muscle twitches

Tinnitus. Mild dizziness. Mild twitches in legs (more on side I got vaccine)

Tinnitus, mild dizziness

Tinnitus/leg twitches/calf muscle pain

Tinnitus level increased. Fullness feeling in l. ear. Twitching in legs continues, but now also on l. side of face. Intermittent heart fluttering. (I got the twitching and heart fluttering after 2nd dose as well; it went away in a few months)

Intermittent headache and increase in twitching. Joint pain. Tinnitus noticeably louder. Had same issues after 2nd dose as well. Went to ENT for follow up visit and hearing got slightly worse after this booster . Minor hearing loss

Joint pain has increased. Tinnitus is still loud but about same as last week. Still intermittent headaches. Body twitching I think is a bit better.

Embolism, Hypopnea and Pulmonary embolism

Head convrpestion - but I doubt that its related. I get those anyways.

(While this isnt a muscle ache, there was no other way to submit my message). Thursday evening, starting around 7, I developed a pain in my lower right back. It progressively got worst over the nex t4 hours - to the point where it became difficult to take deep breaths. Had to take shallow ones. Almost called EMS. It since Ive been through something similar before, I treated it the same - with I ibuprofen. After an hour it settled down. I do not think it is related to the vaccine. I consulted with my Primary Care Physician, and he thinks its a muscle strain. (I dont.) I had a visit to my allergist last Wednesday morning and he listened to my lungs. Said they were clear. So I dont think this issue relates at all.

Shoulder ache at injection site.

Left shoulder, site of 1st injection. Wierd. I refuse to correlate, though.

Bronchitis. Started over a week ago.I cant necessarily associate it with the vaccine though - as I am prone to getting bronchitis in the early spring.

Am tired all the time. (But I dont think its related.)

Taste buds seem muted. (No other symptoms, but I decided to have a COVID test done today, just in case.)

Bronchitis. Not related to booster.

Bone swelling, Diabetes mellitus and Mobility decreased

Bruising at injection site

Swollen lymph nodes especially those in my neck and around the base of my skull. So swollen that it's painful and hard to turn my head. I do suffer CLL so my lymph nodes are always waxing and waining but not this severe in my neck and at the base of my skull. I'm also a Type 1 diabetic, so my blood glucose readings have been elevated above 200 all day. I just recently got it to 160. The high blood glucose readings is at least partially the cause of the headaches.

Lymoh nodes in neck and at base of skull still swollen. Not as bad as yesterday. I can turn my head today.

Bad cough, fever, runny nose, stuffed nose, nausea, diarrhea. Test for Covid was negative. So were the tests for cold and flu.
