Possible Side effect from Pfizer Vaccine

I had my first dose of Pfizer vaccine on June 2 this year.On August 1 I had a violent seizure which put me in the Hospital for 4 days plus I had to be restrained by 8 people in the ER.I have NEVER had a seizure like this before and also I have never had an injection of this vaccine before so I am understandably concerned about this vaccine having something to do with this.I have an appointment with a Neurologist on Nov 18 & until that time & I am convinced unequivocally that this had nothing to do with the shot I will not be taking a second dose

Hi there. I’m sorry to hear that you had such a huge seizure and I hope that hasn’t recurred for you. I think it is highly unlikely that your Covid vaccination caused your seizure 8 weeks after the injection. The risks to you from catching Covid are much higher though and more likely to cause another seizure. Hopefully talking to your consultant about your worries will put your mind at rest. It is really important that you have your second vaccination, and a flu jab, to keep other vulnerable people in society safe as well as yourself.

I just recently saw my family doctor and he told me my seizure may have a result of a blood clot(a known side effect of these vaccines)That being said until I see the Neurologist I won't be taking a second shot

Hi. How are you doing now? My son got a first ever seizure a week after his booster. All the tests came back normal. two and half weeks later I am still "going crazy". Cannot think about anything else.

I hope you're feeling much better now. Please let me know how you are now and I would also like to hear what your neurologist says about this... With best wishes 🙂

I feel there isn't any research being done much, or perhaps we're not hearing it, on reactions people have had after the vaccine. I have a family member who had something like a stroke after having both jabs, but no one could tell her why it happened. There have been a couple of people that have developed bowel problems. No one would take responsibility for those things happening and disregard that it was the jab. But perhaps it does trigger things in people. I don't think we will ever find out the truth. I do hope you don't have any other problems. Good luck to you and thanks for informing us.

How are you doing? The second shot gave my husband a seizure. He had never had one before.

Hi. Did he have more seizurs after that? My son got a first time ever a seizure within 1 week of getting a booster.

Not that I know of/ but his seizure was silent/stiff- if he hadn’t been right in front of me I wouldn’t have known! I thought he was dead. He had no memory of it.
