I am severely depressed. I am so sorry, i feel like my life has been nothing but an accumulation of mistakes.
I got my J and j shots April 6th. Symptoms litteraly started the next day with muscle aches then headaches and slight numbness. ( left cheeks, leg and forearm), eye pain.
I have been suffering from all of the above since that day. I am devastated. I know so many people who got the shots. Their symptoms disappeared after a few days.
Doctors are so useless and i quickly realize that they have NO clue. Too busy covering their butts with test knowing the outcome. I didn’t see a doctor until week 6 ; hoping the symptoms would eventually fade. NOTHING
Doctor Orders Generic blood work and MRI ( totally expected that 🙄. Clear.
So no what ? . I seem to be an inconvenience . She is now referring me to a neurologist ....
Aren’t there meds to help with inflammation ?
I cry do much. Seems i’ll never recover after so long.
I spent hours online. Bought Magnesium, vitamins.... I drink so much also.
I could use some advice or words of hope from someone who experienced symptoms for so long.
Thank you 😞

I have an autoimmune disorder so I know what it’s like to live with horrible symptoms and deal with doctors who suck.
My main advice would be to rest when you need and be your own advocate.
It’s hard accepting it, but if your body needs a ton of extra rest, let it rest so you can heal. Don’t feel bad about it. Your body needs it and it makes you feel better in the long run.
And keep working on your doctors!! Don’t stop until they listen, or keep looking for new ones until you find one that does listen. It took me three years to find a doctor that understood my symptoms, but finding him has changed my life. You’re the only one who can speak up for yourself, don’t be shy and don’t give up hope. Good doctors exist.
Thank you.I don’t understand what’s happening to me. I hate doctors so much. As soon as the GP walks in the room and I explain my symptoms : « Have you seen a neurologist ? »
F ..... SERIOUSLY ???
Then if you call a neurologist to make an appointment « who is your general practitioner ? You need to see your GP first »
She ordered test just to cover her butt.
What Is an MRI going to show 8 weeks after the vaccine ??
Blood work was a general panel. Didn’t even seem gears toward my inflammatory issues.
All she cared about is rule out a blood clot to cover her butt.
I can tell my body is « inflammed »
Eyes are red in the morning, headaches, pain in muscles........ like there is NOTHING she could prescribe ??
Called a few neurologists yesterday . NO appointment until September as I am a new patient.
That all makes me so mad!! It’s so discouraging how so many doctors don’t seem to care.
As for the neurologist- that actually was the most helpful doctor for me! The only bummer is that it always takes foreverrrrr to get appointments with any neurologist for some reason 😭😭
But because a lot of neuro problems stem from inflammation, they actually know a lot about it. Mine gave me neurontin and a monthly shot for nerve pain and migraines but it actually fixed my inflammation so well. So there is hope!!
Also, oncologists are good too. They are more open to trying a billion blood tests so it’s easier to find the issue.
But it sucks, my heart goes out to you! If you ever wanna chat, feel free to message me!
They are awfull and it is getting worse. With all the side effects vaccines they make easy money too and don’t want to be bothered.I did my homework, now it’s her turn.
- Go get blood, go get an an MRI !? 🙄
Now where is my treatment ??!
I will physically walk into the office monday
and make a scene. I called the office twice yesterday : Answering machine.
But of course the scheduling department picks up right away. They also tried to transfer me to the office ......... no luck.
You are supersensitive it seems but you will get better eventually , live yoghurt is very good for your all round health , have you heard of natural progesterone cream it may benefit you it is anti inflammatory and much more you can buy it online - natural progesterone cream make sure it contains progesterone usp Biovea is a brand I have tried and can recommend but any well known brand will do , it is becoming popular so best to stick to a brand you know as , Are you on any hrt ?
Maybe you have estrogen dominance or rather low progesterone and this is contributing to your heightened response to the vaccine , progesterone is anti inflammatory and calming I think it will help you you put the cream on and your body absorbs it , you absorb more of it this way than orally
Progesterone helps with pain as well - women with fibromyalgia find the pain is less in pregnancy and this is most likely due to progesterone
She or you should report it to the CDC. Medical people are actually required to report any symptoms after a vaccine regardless of their opinion. If you are US I suggest signing up at vsafe.cdc.gov. You report weekly. They will contact you if you report symptoms.
I would be careful with self treatment with hormones. I didn’t need it and it sent my heart through the roof for a tiny tiny amount. That is something that should be tested first.
Reported my symptoms to J an J. Such a joke. Woman could not answer any question. She sounded a bit distance, like she was reading off a prompter. They sent me an email with a form to fill out.
Right… J&J did what they are supposed to do because they aren’t doctors. they are required to submit that form to the CDC database and the CDC compiles and investigates. The database is online in its raw form. There is a lot of junk but that is because the are capturing everything.
CDC’s job is to investigate. They pulled J&J when some women had blood clots. They also pressured them to shut down a processing plant.
It doesn’t hurt to report through the link I sent you. They may contact you and if there are more cases they can share with doctors.
I can’t promise they will contact you. I think you need to continue to push your doctor. But at least you are sure the information is reported.
Could it be psychosomatic symptoms? My best friend was super anxious about getting her vaccine to the point that she started feeling all the symptoms she had read about immediately after her shot and they wouldn't go away. She so happened to also be going to twice weekly therapy for depression and relationship issues, but they started talking through her health and anxiety about the vaccine and her symptoms started disappearing pretty quickly. I'm not trying to project on you or saying that your symptoms are all in your head at all. Just reading your post made me think of my friend. I hope you feel better soon.
I know what you mean. I wish it was the case. But the headaches catches me off guard at work. It’s this sharp pain every now and then. Plus mild pressure all over. My eyes also. In comparison, my numbness and mucles aches feel like nothing. I’d be happy with just those.
I'm sorry you're going through that. Headaches are so debilitating anyway. I hope you can find some answers or at the very least start feeling better soon.
My friend felt awful after the vaccine and it ended up being lymes disease and anaplasmosis from tick bites. The shot seemed to make everything come to surface he had felt awful
