Vaccine Side Effects - What side effects did you get from your vaccine?

I remember being forced to take that as a child as well. It started young.

Anyone having issues with extreme itchiness on their head?

It's just one patch but its so irritating and the hair is starting to thin in that area (not good for a female :( )

It may just be coincidence, i don't know, there's no redness or marks on my head which is surprising.

If not, has anyone any suggestions on what to use as it's driving me mad!

Male, 37, No Previous Conditions. Pro Vax before now.

Had both doses 3 weeks apart in July, no immediate side effects.

Within a week of second dose, pain, tingling and numbness in left arm, numbness in left foot.

This came and went throughout August but since early September it has been a daily symptom, accompanied with pins & needles, and sudden sharp pin prick pains all over the body. Its medical term is peripheral neuropathy.

Blood results all fine including good levels of B12. Have asked to see a neurologist.

Have been researching a bit myself and found that medical journals are already publishing studies on peripheral neuropathy caused by inflammation of the central nervous system

Irish examiner also reported on side effects a few weeks ago.

Will be avoiding any booster shots like the plague and my children won't be going near it either.

That paper is about people with MS. Do you have MS?

lots of conditions are linked with peripheral neuropathy eg diabetes and it can emerge around your age. It may be nothing to do with vaccine it all. Or it may. But I wouldn’t automatically assume either way.

I don’t think you will have a choice. It’s all Pfizer here these days. But it’s excellent. I’m not sure about timing after covid. They will talk to you about that at vaccination centre.

I believe you can still be eligible for the vaccine after 1 month of testing positive.

You can get a cert if you test positive too. Not sure if a GP cert will suffice.

Got the vaccine in the summer - had the usual (very) mild symptoms afterwards, and 2 days of visual/aural hallucinations! Great fun, highly recommended.

Booster was different to the other two, all Pfizer. 1st dose - slight temp, tired. 2nd dose - severe headache 3 days, slight temp, light aversion, back ache, slightly sore arm, dizziness/disorientation. I put down how bad it was to the doses being so close together, just over 2 weeks but of course that probably didn't matter. Booster was 9 months later so outside of the recommended range but I got a very sore arm that couldn't be moved or do anything with the next day and 2 days later a very sore stiff neck but it all went away by day 3 and no headache was bliss really.

Oh jeepers, this post hurts my brain. :(

You can't overdose on a vaccine.

Immunity from infection is highly variable depending on your exposure and your own body. It also depletes.

Stop the guessing, no one expects you to be an expert, that's why we have experts who us citizens pay (through tax), to give us information. Message boards and anecdotes are not your friend here. Rely on the official information and professionals. Your GP and your pharmacist.

You took a HUGE risk as a high risk person (asthmatic, pregnant) not getting vaccinated in the first place, so it's not surprising you had every symptom in the book. You're lucky you probably got a low exposure and didn't end up on a ventilator with those underlying conditions.

Has anybody here developed hearing loss or ringing in the ears since being full vaccinated?

That's interesting. I was reading British media reports this week about people who had received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine developing these aural problems having never experienced them previously and that only in a handful of cases had the patients reported their condition had improved or cleared up completely. I received the Moderna vaccine as well but have not experienced any such symptoms.

Has anyone had no side effects from the first 2 shots but a reaction to the booster/3rd shot?

It's unlikely you were experiencing Tinnitus because that condition is permanent and not treatable. People suffering with it just need to cope with it as best they can and their capacity to hear is not impacted. They just have this constant ringing noise in their heads. Temporary hearing loss, on the other hand, can occur for many different reasons. Did you ever suffer from hearing problems before being vaccinated? If not, it sounds like an adverse reaction to the dose.
