Ive posted about my experiences before after the Pfizer vaccine, but here it goes again.
I got the second shot about 4 months ago. 2 weeks later I started getting bad dizzy/light headed spells. They were frequent too, almost everyday, and would last for an hour or so. Im still getting those frequent dizzy spells 4 months later. I feel like the vaccine messed up my brain or something lol.
Also, I get frequent forearm pain on both arms. It hurts to move my forearm around most days.
This is why I understand if people dont want to get the vaccine. I regret taking it, and I had natural immunity already because I had covid previously.
Correct, 2-4 weeks after the shot. To be fair, Ive had covid long haul symptoms for 15 months and Ive had muscle pain in my legs and back. But the dizziness and arm pain didnt come until after the vaccine.GeographyAg said:ea1060 said:

You didn't start having dizziness and arm pain symptoms until two weeks AFTER the shot?
Interesting. Seems like a long time.
Anything else change during that time? Have you been to a doctor to see if there's anything else going on?
Forearm pain seems particularly strange.
Have you had your heart checked?
Be sure you mention the arm pain, and if she says it's nothing go to a cardiologist for a check. The long covid symptoms should be checked, imho.ea1060 said:Correct, 2-4 weeks after the shot.

Im seeing a doctor tomorrow about the dizziness. My best guess is she will tell me she doesn't know whats wrong and doesnt know how to treat it lol.
Have not had my heart checked.
Ive already seen my doctor for my long haul covid symptoms including leg and back pain. There is nothing doctors can do to treat long covid unfortunately. Ive already taken all of the covid treatments and nothing has worked.GeographyAg said:Be sure you mention the arm pain, and if she says it's nothing go to a cardiologist for a check.

If you're having ongoing dizziness issues, you need to see a neuro-otologist. Houston, Dallas, etc.
The average doctor knows little to none about the vestibular system. Even the same can be said for the average ENT and neurologist. The best thing they can do for you is write a prescription for an evaluation by a good vestibular therapist.
It's a very complex area that we still don't know a lot about. Getting in front of the right people isn't easy but is very important.
