Their Stories

Diarrhea hemorrhagic, Crohn's disease and Streptococcal infection

Minor/ mild fatigue

A little trouble breathing

About 20 times in one day of liquid diarrhea. Trouble sleeping last night. Extremely Severe straight liquid diarrhea. I have Crohn's disease. It's been years since it's been this bad.

Really bad cramps in the middle of the night.

Slightly congested.

Severe Cough, sore throat, body aches, and elevated pulse (137 beats per minute).

Severe strep throat infection that took 12 days to subside.

Arm is quite sore

Bloody diarrhea. Feeling stiff.

Itchiness

Sore throat, dry cough, and pressured headache.

No

Not sleeping well since I took the vaccine.

I caught COVID on 23 June 2022. I was sick for three weeks. I took paxlovid. My symptoms subsided. Then a few days later my symptoms re-emerged. I'm finally feeling better now.

Feel a little winded

Trouble sleeping last night

Exertional headache, Eye discharge and Swelling of eyelid

Hot flashes

Swollen eyelid (for first time in my life), hot flashes

Swollen eyelid (better than yesterday), appetite still less than usual

A stuffy/runny nose

For a week+: Fever, cough, sore throat, congestion, headache, fatigue, eye discharge (got a negative COVID test)

They all seemed to be related to a stomach bugmaybe rotavirus and our whole family except the 17 month old was affected.

I had a bad stomachache and no energy yesterday. Probably another stomach virus in our household.

4 days of unusual fatigue and occasional headache when I walked around for more than a few minutes.

Viral infection, Flushing and Sinus disorder

Question about lymph nodes! Mine are usually swollen but today injection side went down.

Sweating even though temperature normal

Flushing, sweats, generally wobbly on my feet

Diarrhea

I think I had either Covid toes or bug bites on toes of my right foot after Christmas.

Vaccine gives me a high fever for 36 hours

Recovering from fever vaccine always gives me

Lymph node in armpit of recent vax aches

Sinus problems

Severe headache, nasal congestion, diarrhea, low fever, neck aches

Doctor claimed a sinus infection caused by a virus. Virus began about a week after Omicron booster General Practice

Rheumatoid arthritis, Palpitations and COVID-19

I caught Covid. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which was triggered by 2nd shot of Moderma vaccine. Rheumatologist visits

Palpitations for the past 5 months. Visit primary care physician and referred to Cardiologist. Received a stress test with dye

Rheumatoid arthritis has not improved. Blood work shows imbalanced autoimmune numbers. My rheumatologist has prescribed Humira which is an injectable. I was told by my rheumatologist that the 2nd Covid vaccine triggered my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Office visits & blood tests

Impaired driving ability, Bradycardia and Costochondritis

I feel Wicked. Felt fine this morning.

It was hard to drive

Fatigue and forgetting things is the worst.

Congestion with a HA which Im pretty sure is a sinus problem nfection

Sinusitis and congestion with a cough

The main reason is a sinus infection with tissue swelling and I am treated by Dr. (b)(6). He thinks it could have been triggered by the Covid vaccines but Ive had sinus problems all my life with multiple surgeries (~17) ENT office visit and scoped, then prescribed Augmentin and high dose Prednisone.

Sinusitis

I just received it at 15:30 so it's too early to tell

Costochondritis with A-fib and bradycardia in the hospital. Not Covid.

Not that this is related, however I spent 4 days at (b)(6) Hospital (b)(6), Ky, due to Costochondritis and Atrial Fibrillation. 6/23-6/27. I did have a negative PCR for Covid while there.

Postmenopause, Menopausal symptoms and Breast cyst

Ocular migraine, brief tinnitus

Dehydration (yesterday and today, despite drinking 120 oz per day), some very mild occasional itching

Mild itching all over (it started the day after my shot)

Slightly swollen lymph nodes, cystic breasts

General itching

Itching, grogginess, bloating, gas, anorexia, dehydration

Itching

Night sweats

Back pain (30 min), hormonal surge (Im menopausal, so its unusual)

Night sweats, tire easily, foggy & forgetful, hormone surge (pelvic heaviness, breast cysts) despite being menopausal

Hormonal surges (Im 2 yrs post-menopausal and havent had hormone surges like this for over a year)

Hot flashes and hormonal flares (Im post-menopausal and hadnt experienced them for more than a year before my shots); and some residual fatigue.

I continue to have more hormonal symptoms than I did before the vaccine. I'm post-menopausal, but my last ovary scan showed more follicles than expected; my breasts are tender again; I have PMS-type symptoms, and my hot flashes returned. In-person doctor exam

Metallic taste in mouth (started right after I received the shot), shortness of breath yesterday, and what felt like spinal pain yesterday

Swollen painful lymph node in injection-side armpit (better, but still tender); metallic taste is gone

Tire easily, bloated, not digesting well, mildly nauseous

Caught Covid - typical symptoms of Omicron

Chest pain, Arthralgia and Dizziness

Symptoms as before but a little worse. Slight dizziness.

Fatigue continuing or a little worse some days. I foresee a continuing campaign of fresh air, mild exercise, and vitamins etc. I never use alcohol or tobacco, can't give them up. But I rest a little too much.

Fatigue and sore joints. I've had some good days and accomplished things. Today's activities were similar to yesterday, but I felt sore and less strong despite nice weather. Trouble could be something other than vaccine, I don't know.

Swimming is important to my health. Each time that I get a bit of water in my lungs, I feel sore in the chest a couple days. Vitamin C or grapefruit juice helps me to cough and feel better. Overall I'm tired, not resilient.

Pain of skin, Musculoskeletal chest pain and Abdominal distension

Sleeplessness, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, brain fog

Essentially, ever since my second shot I have had persistent headache, migraine, and GI concerns at elevated levels and/or more frequent incidents than my status quo. GI concerns include diarrhea, gas/bloating, and pain/discomfort.

Increase in headaches. My quarterly IV infusion of migraine prevention drug Vyepti has had limited effectiveness since getting my second vaccine shot in Apr 2021 and booster in Nov 2021.

Sinuses

Sinus infection, scalp pain, ear pain, neck pain

Sinus

Muscle spasms have persisted after Covid illness (started after receding from cough and resuming an upright life instead of supine on couch). Recently pain has increased in my ribs and back.

Sleep disorder, Night sweats and Sinus congestion

Dizziness

Woke up sweating 3:30 a.m. stayed awake until 12:00 noon took a nap feeling much better

3:30 Am bed sweats & pain like arthritis pain in the joints back makes it hard to sleep after I wake up with bed sweats three nights in a row.

Bed sweats at 3:00 a.m.

I started getting a sore throat last Friday, 01/14/22, sneezing, sinus congestion, when I would sneeze or cough my throat would hurt real bad. The cough was not productive neither was the congestion. I got some saline solution used it in my nose.

Agitation, Musculoskeletal stiffness and Nasopharyngitis

Slight stiff neck

Nope

Basil cell carcinoma Mobs surgery

Horrified by all the anti-vaxxers and the additional risks they impose on everyone!

Sore throat

May be getting a cold

Developed a cold within 24 hrs of my booster shot. My nose is running like my head harbors an atmospheric river! Since I'm not in much contact with people I have no idea how I caught a cold. However I don't think it is related to the booster.

Runny nose and cough. Hopefully my cold is winding down.

Cold winding down. Coughing.

Depressed about govt failure to address climate change!!!

Annoyance at so many emails from you

Formication, Nerve compression and Muscle strain

So - I had this new symptom yesterday and today. I didnt report it yesterday, because I thought I had slept funny. I have a very stiff neck on the side where I got the shot. Feels like a pinched nerve in the upper trapezius - and there is pain that shoots up from there. I feel it when I turn my head to the left and right. I dont know if this is Moderna caused?

Happy to report that the pain in my trapezius/neck is all but gone. Just a little twinge l, but I can turn my head side to side almost normally. Again - hard to say whether this is pulled muscle or a symptom of the shot.

Neck is still not 100%

I got Covid arm after the first shot - about 13-14 days after the shot. It seems I have the same kind of thing, but it is immediate after the 2nd shot. Likely, I have a mild allergic reaction to something? Just very lightly itchy - red splotches come and go.

One day this week, I was itchy on my head, legs, and arms. Just one day. I had Covid arm after the first shot, and this itchiness felt like that. Mildly itchy and uncomfortable - like ants walking on my skin.

Breast discomfort, Dysmenorrhea and Menstrual disorder

Swelling in hands/feet, BP is high (Im calling my Dr about this tomorrow since it might be related to meds Im on.)

The previous dose caused my menstrual cycle to restart after almost a year with no periods & having gone through all the premenopausal symptoms. Now Im having heavy bleeding and horrible menstrual camps (for the last week). Its exacerbating the discomfort Im feeling from todays new side effects.

Lymph node swelling and discomfort under my left arm; still experiencing unexpected menstrual bleeding.

Swollen lymph node (tennis ball size) under left arm with discomfort radiating into left breast; still experiencing unexpected menstrual bleeding

Swollen lymph node under left arm; still having unexpected menstrual bleeding

Swollen lymph node (still); unexpected menstrual bleeding (for 10 days now)

Swollen lymph node (still)

Small amount of swelling still in the lymph node

Inflammation, particularly in joints and hands. Also still having sporadic menstrual bleeding off and on (that started just after my 1st dose, even though I had gone through I had stopped menstruating for almost a year at that point.

Glossodynia, Swelling and Urticaria

Pain in the armpit of the shoulder I received the shot.

Swollen and discomfort in armpit

Still have swelling and discomfort in armpit of arm where shot was given. Swollen lymph nodes.

Armpit discomfort but better than yesterday. Swelling has come down.

A rash from head to toe. Mostly on hands, forearms, and legs below the knee. A bit on my shoulders and on my scalp. Also sores on the tongue and sore throat. Rash was similar to hives. It lasted about 5 days before calming down.

Rash papular, Dry skin and Dry eye

I had flu like symptoms on the day of the shot and the day after (fever, chills, nausea, aches, headache). I also had arm soreness for several days on the side I had the shot. Im fine now.

I have a raised, itchy, bumpy rash on my right arm (not the arm I got the shot in) above and below the elbow. I have never experienced this type of itchy rash. My legs are also itchy around the side of the knees but there is no visible rash.

I had an itchy rash on my arms and a little ash that looked like giraffe spots on my left leg.

Bad headaches.

Dry eye and mouth, exhaustion, joint pain. (Possible Sjögren's syndrome)

Nasal irrigation, Taste disorder and Sinus congestion

I had a slight sore throat and some congestion over the weekend (5/15 - 5/18) but I believe that it was mostly due to tree pollen and other allergens in the Tennessee Valley. Symptoms are gone now.

The week after Memorial Day I experienced a brief period of extreme sinus congestion, headaches, and alteration of my sense of taste. This lasted for about 5 days or so, but was mitigated by nasal irrigation and Mucinex. I took one day off of work.

Dermatitis allergic, Nasal disorder and Eye pain

Im having a bit of sore eyes and nose, but it may be seasonal allergy

I'm having an allergic reaction, not sure what is causing it, but I already check with a doctor and we are waiting lab results.

I'm having asthma symptoms like. I'm using an inhaler for now, but still checking with doctors to see what's going on. The last doctor told me maybe heartburn is the cause, and a skin allergic reaction it's just a bad coincidence

Injection site discoloration, Injection site warmth and Injection site rash

Very itchy injection site on day 8. It became a perfect circular rash (1.5), very red and warm to the touch. Less noticable on day 9 and mostly gone by day 10. Today (14) still have some itching in the area and a slight color redness.

Armpit pain (both)

Armpit pain

I have a dark area on my skin where I received my vaccine - not a bruise, just dark area. Noticed it last week. I showed my dr. during an office visit for an unrelated issue. Dr was not concerned, but I think it's peculiar for four weeks post vax.

Currently have Covid.

Extremely bad headache not usual for me to have one this bad.

I had some joint pain after the shot, and it went away except for in both of my thumbs, where its become worse.

I doubt it is related to the vaccine, but I have developed sinus drainage and that is making my throat sore. I feel lousy, but Im at work because I dont have a sub. The question below doesnt have I feel bad and need to rest but cant.
