    Hi,

    I developed tinnitus in my right ear 2 hrs after my first Pfizer shot.

    It was not very loud but detectable at night or in quiet situations.

    I thought it was a coincidence but when I received my second dose, after approximately 2 hrs I had tinnitus in my left ear as well and the volume had increased by around 3 times.

    I rang my Doctor who told me it was impossible for the vaccine to cause this. She referred me to a specialist who also said it was impossible and encouraged me to get my booster.

    Even Medsafe has tinnitus listed as a side effect, as do the FDA. It seems permanent and is very annoying but others have suffered far worse so I'm grateful in many ways.

    Thanks for listening

    Honestly don't know if this is related, but I believe it is...

    I had a resurgence of genital herpes, AND my eye condition (Uveitis) after having the first and second vaccination.

    After the first vaccine I wasn't too bad.

    Just a sore arm and very swollen glands along my clavicle on the same side as the vaccine was administered.

    I purposely left a gap of about seven weeks until the second vaccine.

    I had the same very swollen glands but I also started getting shortness of breath.

    I went from being able to mow the lawn one week and the next time I was gasping for air.

    My doctor (over a phone appointment) prescribed me steroids which did nothing and told me it wouldn't have been from the vaccine.

    I have Fibromyalgia and my symptoms have worsened 10-fold.

    My 20 year old son also got shingles after his second vaccine.

    Neither of us have gotten the booster shot and I don't want us to get it. It makes me very anxious even thinking about it.

    I am fully vaxxed and only had 1 booster but ever since I had my first vaccine.

    I have had tummy problems quite bad. The pain comes and goes all the time right under my ribs and right into my back and aches for hours and won't go away.

    I had never had any health problems before all these vaccines.

    I have been to the doctors and all they have done is give me antacid pills for my stomach and sent me for bloods that come back normal. It might not be anything to do with the vaccines but I have never had anything wrong with my health before, and now I get it all the time. Also my periods have always been regular and since having the booster last month this month it has been very irregular. I had my period the start of the month as normal then had a whole nother period a week later, and then again at the end of the month.

    Also my 9yo son chose to be vaccinated. I allowed him to make that decision himself as it's his body his choice; and since having his vaccine he was having bad head aches for about a week and also a sore tummy that has gone away. Also his ankles have been really sore. He could barely walk. He is still walking around limping on one leg - been doing this for about 2-3 weeks now. Again it might not have anything to do with the vaccine but he is a completely healthy boy and all of a sudden this and once again doctors sent him for bloods and that's it.

    I received my Covid-19 booster shot on 24th February and by the middle of March I started getting watery eyes and it felt like something was in my eyes or on my eyelashes. This was uncomfortable and I would find myself trying to get it off.

    On March 24th after breakfast the left side of my mouth felt funny like it was a bit droopy, I also felt my left eye was a bit droopy.

    When I got to work about 8.30 I asked another teacher if she had noticed it. She had, but didn't want to say anything as I hadn't worked there long.

    By 11.15 when I was eating lunch my whole mouth was funny and it was hard to chew so I rang my doctor. I was advised to call the ambulance or be taken to A&E in Hawera.

    After being assessed I was taken to the Taranaki Base hospital for a CT scan. I was admitted and monitored for a stroke and after further tests I was diagnosed with having Bell's palsy. I have never had anything like this before and it has been very stressful.

    It is my belief that I may have reacted to the physer vacation.
