Their Stories

Scab, Disorientation and Irritable bowel syndrome

Yesterday I felt disoriented and am unable to do daily tasks.

I want to clarify my history. Day 1 I only had a rash. Day 2 I was disoriented, chilled, fever, headache, thighs ache, etc. Day 3 similar to Day 2, Day 4 headache, rash and very tired.

I had such a severe reaction to the vaccine which makes me unwilling to have vaccine #2. I missed days of work and it was quite scary as I live alone.

Extremely tired and the rash has continued with scabs (scratching as I sleep).

I was in bed for about a month. I went the Dr 2 times and the ER 1 time. Symtoms: fever, diareia, weakness, migraine headaches, lack of appetite and unable to stay awake. I could barely walk due to weakness. 2 Doctor visits. Also, 1 scheduled this week.

I am having IBS isues. My GI Dr. has put me on a very expensive anti- biotic. I am on the 2nd round right now. Phone call

Continue IBS symptoms from long Covid19.

Injection site warmth, Injection site swelling and Injection site pruritus

In case there is not another opportunity to say this, I felt 100% good all day Saturday (20th) after my 8:00 a.m. appointment. All day Sunday (21st), however, I ached all over and could not get comfortable. Slight headache whenever I moved my head, but otherwise not. The lymph node under my left arm (arm I got the shot in) was fairly painful. Still a little pain there today, but nothing like yesterday.

I wasnt prompted to check in yesterday, and I forgot, so wanted to mention that the mild swelling that was an area about the size of my hand on Monday was no longer swollen Tuesday. It was still red and still hot to the touch, with very mild pain. All of that is even better today, except it might itch more than it has been.

Very sore throat, stuffy nose and coughing for the last 4-5 days. I suspect allergy/drainage.

Bad cold; stuffy nose, cough. Had a sore throat for a couple days.

Stuffy nose; pretty good cold.

Tendon injury, Muscle injury and Hypokinesia

I don't think vaccine related, but I'm exhausted, in terrible pain, neck is hurting, popping/grinding like it never has before. It's most likely progression of my health issues

Respiratory tract infection viral, Hypoacusis and Abdominal pain upper

Extreme happiness at having this vaccination! Thank you!

Undying gratitude to you, the people doing the vaccinating, and the scientists who created the vaccine. Thank you.

I had a 3-day headache, sniffles, a small but annoying cough and a sore throat. Figured it was seasonal allergies, but had a PCR test regardless. It was negative.

One evening of intense stomach cramps and diarrhea. I believe it was food poisoning, but no evidence either way.

The heaing in my left ear is muzzy, but I'm sure this is an allergy.

Yesterday cough and sniffles. RAT rested yesterday and again today, both negative. Feeling better today.

Ear discomfort, Limb discomfort and Flushing

slight fatigue but not enough to affect my usual daily routine

occasionally feeling slightly flushed (lik a hot flash?); feeling of fullness in ears; slight heart palpitations

I had pain and discomfort in my left arm last night (where vaccinated), especially when raising my arm. This was accompanied by generalized joint and muscle pain and headache, which affected my sleep last night. These effects have mostly subsided (as of mid-afternoon today).

Any side effects from my vaccination have abated since yesterday.

cough; nasal/throat congestion; runny nose

I have had a cold for the last few days.

Diarrhea hemorrhagic, Cholecystitis and Injection site irritation

Light flu type feelings

I feel like some of this is too vague because of my preexisting health concerns. I can't really tell at this point how bad the shot is affecting them but I can definitely tell it is.

Co- health conditions are most likely these symptoms are not related to the shot. I also had a "presumptive" case end of February first off March 2020 and have not felt 100% since then.

Heartache and body pain getting worse, fatigue is worse.

My L arm (where i got the injection) has been sore. Stingy. Feels like sharp period cramps up and down my arm. Im taking acetaminophen (500mg) when its really sharp. My pain tolerance is relatively high (marathoner and have had natural birth). The pain is worth it if this vaccine protects me against COVID19!

Arm pain is gone. Last evening and waking up this morning with cold symptoms: stuffy nose, sleepy, and general malaise. Otherwise feeling OK. Ive been sicker! The vaccine is doing it's work. Worth it if this vaccine keeps me safe.

Feeling good today. Bit runny nose but moreso bc of cold weather/allergies. No arm pain, not feeling crappy :)
