What are the side effects of the Pfizer vaccine?

I had my jab 19/02/21 the phizer bionica. And can report yes the injection site was tender for about 48hrs also around 4hrs after the jab started to feel a bit achy as though i was coming down with something but didn’t get any worse. By the following day it had gone. Within 2-3 days felt perfectly fine and fully back to normal

I had my second dose 2/21/2021 and was tired but next day very very nauseous bad headache and my underarm is still sore and has a red mark like a sunburn. Plus having crazy dreams … I am not sick anymore, but arm still sore.

Had
my pfyzir vaccine felt like I had a cold coming on and a headache for about 24hrs but was fine after that.
I wish people wouldn’t scare monger . it’s such a difficult time to make decisions about vaccines and don’t need to hear stories without proof.

Got my second jab a month ago felt annoyed for a day, Also experienced weird vivid dreams every time I closed my eyes.

Woke up at 4am today shivering uncontrollably with a bad headache and brain ‘zaps’ radiating down both arms. Eyes jerking left and right on their own. Arm injection site very sore. Very weak, struggle to get out of recliner. My first injection had no side effects.
BP 95/65 pulse 101. Temp 100.

Had my 1st jab on the 19th of feb , all fine till Tuesday, ached on that day on Wednesday had a rash Thursday spoke to a doctor got shingles, pharmacy told they have heard it’s from the vaccine.

Had my first jab on Tuesday morning, felt absolutely fine for 2 days no side effects just tired.
Thursday evening got really hot and had chills for like an hour. Then I got full body little pins and needle feeling and full body itch, still continuing into day 4.

Advised to take paracetamol and antihistamines- I’m hoping that this will ease. Has anybody else felt this / know how long this may last.

Thanks for the advice. First AZ today and sat in bed with uncontrollable shaking and slight temperature. Can hardly get out of bed. Glad it’s not just me. Cheers.

I have had first dose off Pfizer-Biontech jab.
Injection site is a bit sore and I feel a bit tired
But other than that I am fine

Had phizer vaccine began to feel a sore arm later and then spread to all limbs. Went to bed woke feeling freezing cold, later felt so hot temperature of 39. As others have said vivid weird dreams. Really weak for next two days. Nausea, fatigue and slight cough. I have been told 2nd will be worse, but it hasn’t put me off at all. Just bad luck. I had Covid last April for about 12 weeks but not in hospital. Could be a connection?

I got my second vaccine yesterday. Woke up around am today with nausea and vomiting. Fever, chills, body aches. Still 24 hours feel like I have the flu, nauseous, weak.

Hi Sam I’ve had the same pins and needles feeling in whole body, I’m on day 4 now too, it’s so irritating!

Received my first Pfiza Injection yesterday.. so far, so good no side affects.
See what happens over the next 48 hours.

Had my first vaccine nothing but tiredness until a week later pins and needles, really hot, nausea. Had it for three days so far. Phoning Doctor tomorrow

Have tingling of left arm and left leg Had shot in left arm. Still have tingling 24 hours later otherwise ok.

my mother who is 83 is having a terrible reaction to the second vaccination . she had them 3 weeks apart in the first phase . the second vaccination has made her ache all over. feel cold. cant sleep . the strong painkillers from the doctor made her seize up. the vitamin c and d also from the doctor made her nauseous so she stopped . On a morning it talks her 10 minutes to get our of bed. her upper arms are so weak she cannot get herself up easily. she suffers from arthritis and this seems to have made every muscle in her body and every bone ache. only her head is ok as she jokes. from an active 83 year old she has not been out to get her shopping or do anything like sweep the garden path SINCE TEH 5TH JANUARUY . she just sits and keeps warm and complains of aches and pains. had an x ray. nothing internally wrong. so definitely side effect of the vaccine. the first one was ok. just a pain in her arm the last week before her second vaccination was due.

Had my first vac on 19 Feb 21 the next day felt like I was lethargic and feeling annoyed and achy all over my body like having a flu without all the symptoms. Within in 6 hours of the vac my lymph nodes on my left armpit start to swell and sore lasted for about good 5 days. Since Thursday until now I am having a severe rash like reaction all over my body.

i hadmy second shot on3/2/21 after about 10 hours i woke up shaking all over and could not stop my body was not cold but could not stop shaking and had a very bad head ache some nausea the nausea went away the next day. i went to work left before lunch because i could not quit shaking then the headache came back the shaking lasted about 2hours this time then it and the headache went away. then about 10 pm i woke up with another shaking spell which lasted about 30 min i got up and came to work this morning no more symptoms yet i hope they are over .it is a strange feeling to shake like that and not be cold

Had the jab on the 11th Feb and was ok until the 18th when I was wakened in the middle of the night by fairly severe pins and needles in the same (right)arm. It is fading now (after another week) but if it was a reaction to the jab it was not expected.

Had vaccine on 15 Feb, after more or less shaking off “Brain Fog”, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, lost appetite and extreme fatigue after 2 weeks or so I am left with what appears to be permanent severe tinnitus which started 12 hours after jab. Perfectly fit before hand, having the vaccine was the worse thing I ever did. Of course it is impossible to actually see a doctor or get any treatment.

I had my first pyzser (Soz about spelling) about 3 weeks ago felt ok till 24 hours after then began severely shaking all over through the night twice lasted about 30 mins. Weird feeling in head mentally!!!!
Lymph nodes are swollen and anxiety been up slightly and brain fogginess, words getting jumbled up a lot anyone else experienced this? Was fine beforehand not sure whether to get the second one now? Don’t fancy going through side effects again!

I had 2 Pfizer vaccinations and my wife had 2 from Medrona. We both had the same reaction after the second shot namely itching all over the body. We apply Benadryl topically every night and it gives temporary relief. The itching and red spots on the skin have been going on over a month for both of us. How much longer will this go on? She is 85 and I am 95. Noone else seems t have this problem. Thank you. Patrick Zilliacus

This is the 4th week of having Oxford vaccine I can hardly lift my left arm now it keeps me awake the pain going down arm most of night I have been putting hot water bottle on left shoulder to help with the ache in going down my arm this side effects come on 4 weeks after having vaccine shall I consult my dr or will it go I am worried about having 2nd injection now .

Until I found this thread I thought I was the only person having weird vivid dreams after Pfizer jab. Seems like a really crazy side effect but easier to handle than others.

I took Pfizer vaccine on March 1, 2021. Next day arm was sore at injection area. Also, I have large dark not red circle on injection area. Informed Methodist Hospital on March 2. Arm is no longer sore, but dark circle remains and today is Sat. March 6.

I took my second Pfizer vaccine on Monday 3/1/21. I felt a little nausea immediately after injection with a weired taste. Arm was very sore at site on second day but went away. On 3rd day(3/4/21) from injection, I had this severe deep, deep inner ear inching, running nose , sneezing and nose also itch. The worse is the inner ear itching. I took some Benadryl (25mg) antihistamine on3/5/21, it has help a little but here I am on day 3 of this episode of inner ear itch, running nose and sneezing. Have anyone had this problem and what did you do? I am 70 yrs old and in good health not on any medication.

I have had my first vaccine with Pfizer. It brought on my asthma within 12mins of having the jab and lasted about 5days. I’m still having vivid weird dreams

I had my 1st vaccine Thursday. I have felt unwell ever since. I’ve had acid reflux which I needed medication, I now can’t keep warm n got the runs, nausea stomach cramps n a little shaken. Hope it settles down soon.

I had my first dose on Thursday. My arm was urging. Body aches and fatigue. Slept almost all day Friday. Have crazy dreams it disturbed my dog. She woke me up. Also have a cough and some pimples on my face.

Has anyone experienced abdomen pain, uti-like symptoms, frequent urination, overactive bladder and pressure in the pelvic are? I only got these symptoms the day after I got my first dose.

I had the Pfizer jab on 19 Feb. No probs at first, but a week or so later I started to feel flu-like symptoms, felt extremely tired & sleepy, plus arm hurt at jab site, but I get that with the ordinary flu jab too. Slight temperature recorded as well. I do, however, have underlying health conditions which may or may not have contributed to these symptoms. I would like to stress that I am so very happy to have had this jab, & would urge everyone to go ahead and get it. The side effects are definitely worth it!!!

Yes, my arm was very sore. My husband said I had very crazy dreams. He said I was running in my sleep. I flung one of the cats off the bed. He had to wake me up like 6 times. I have no idea what I was dream about. I already have very violent dreams and wear a CPAP. My acting out in my sleep was the most violent I have ever been. I am glad to see other people had dreams too.

I got my 2nd Pfizer shot on 2/10 and on 2/19 I spiked a fever every night for 11 nights. Good for 4 nights then fever back. I’ve gotten a ton of bloodwork and all is normal. I’m hoping that it’s a reaction to vaccine and nothing more. Anyone else know of someone with a delayed onset?

I have chills and diffuse body aches 2 weeks after the 1st dose of pfizer. What should I do?

I had my 2nd Pfizer vaccine 5hrs later came down with shivers headache chest and jaw pains and body aches.next day continue with low grade fever body aches and headaches.how long will this last.

I had my 2nd Pfizer shot yesterday 3/10/2021 at 315pm. Head started hurting about 30 mins after getting it and I was super nauseated by the time I got home. I am laying in bed been awake off and on all night it is 150am now. Woke up soaked and head hurts. Have had the most crazy dreams. Starting to get nauseated again. Every time I shut my eyes I wake up soaking wet hair and all. I do feel like I have a fever.

I had my jab on Monday 8th March fine for a few days until yesterday when I have pain in opposite shoulder effecting my arm like a trapped nerve, can not raise arm without severe pain, difficult to dress, shower and am so extremely uncomfortable, had bad shakes on Wednesday evening due to the amount of pain I was in, had the Astrazeneca covid jab

I had Covid last July, I was perfectly fine before I took my shot on Monday by Tuesday evening terrible terrible headache chills both arms hurting, by next day I was in the bed sleeping the entire day sweating chilling sweating chilling, today I feel a little better now both lymph nodes are swollen both arms hurtAnd head still hurts with fever 100. I hope tomorrow is better.

I received my second shot an March 4. A few days later I began having sharp pains in my right leg. Also, my food began to have a metallic taste. This morning, March 11, the metallic taste was very strong. I’m wondering if this is a side affect of the Pfizer vaccine.

I had the Oxford 8hours after I had a headache, temperature, nausia, aching, legs hurting, could not focus properly, ears blocked felt like I was under water, lasted 3 days then I was freezing cold, could not get warm, tried hot bath, elec blanket that lasted 48hrs still feel really tired

I had the Pfizer jab on jan 27th It’s now March 12th and yesterday I woke up with what can only be described as a hollow dimple in my arm where the needle went in, it’s painful too!

I just had my first dose this morning March 12th. I immediately had a metallic taste that went away, and I also felt a bit wobbly. I feel better now (4 hours later), hope it stays that way.

Had my 2nd Pfyser dose yesterday morning felt fine until last night kept sneezing and felt flu like still sneezing this morning and still aching .any one else with the sneezing side effect?

After my second shot about two weeks later I am now suffering from extreme fatigue. I don’t seem to come to life until late afternoon. I have an auto immune disease, Addison’s disease and don’t know if this is a contributing factor. Any comments would be appreciated. Syd

had a metallic taste in my mouth, went home that night nausea. headache WOW, dizzy, it has been a week and still not feeling well, crazy, maybe cause I am older woman. all we can do is pray that on 29th when I get the other I am not sick, miss one week of work already.

Had the Oxford vaccine on the 14th March, usual soreness at the vaccine site, light headed, and a night of vivid crazy dreams.

Received Pfizer vaccine in left arm on March 10, felt like I had been punched in the arm for 36 hours then all was well until last night when I developed a pins and needles sensation in my left hand, no change today. Hoping will go away and not nerve damage.

I just had my 1st shot of Pfzire vaccine last March 7, 2021. after 4 days . I feel cold, joint pain , bad head ache.. this 12 March until 14 March. 2021. And aslo on and off fever. its is normal ?

I had my first Pfizer shot on March 12. Tired the next day and soreness around shot area.

Day 2, last night vivid nightmares of snakes and animals trying to kill me. My husband woke me up, I couldn’t wake myself up.

I had the Pfizer jab on Thursday and have felt absolutely awful since and won’t continues.
I have lung disease and wondering whether my body can cope.
Chest tight… Waking in the night screaming in agony, In hospital with pneumonia last Christmas and where the pain is feels like it has returned. How long do you put up with it before consulting a medical professional.

I had my first dose on Friday 12th March my arm sore, crazy dreams and heart palpitations… had the AstraZeneca…still feel awful

I had the Pfizer 1st dose 3 days ago and have been having weird dreams every night since. I feel fine otherwise- no other side effects, just the dreams, and wanting to go to bed a little earlier than usual but feeling fine during the day

Had first vaccine on Saturday, few hours later could hardly walk, feeling worse muscle pains then temperature, sweats overnight. Same three days on. I do have CFS and Fibromyalgia, perhaps symptoms have been heightened with the vaccine!

i had my covid shot on wed march 10th.. I felt great.. I was in the gym lifting LOL… felt great till Sunday…man down!!! cold chills… terrible headache..weak and nausea… When I dont finish a meal I know something is wrong… glad to come here and see this is normal… I’m hoping the 2nd shot is not as bad since the first did me in.. Today I’m feeling much better just still weak and a little nauseous

First dose on 3/15/21. During the 15 minutes of observation, my arm grew sore like I just worked out and began to have a metallic taste in my mouth. A little nausea but nothing too bad.

Had first Pfizer jab last Thursday ( 4 days ago) . Felt ok Friday but since then just really tired keep going to bed , flu type symptoms, slight headache, but no temperature. Blood pressure normal. Strange dreams . Im 55.

I had the first Pfizer vaccine March 4, a Thursday, Sunday night I had fever, chills, and strange dreams, I slept with 2 sherpa blankets and a heater. I slept most of the next day. Fevers and chills came and went. My joints ached, I could barely walk. I was drenched in sweat in the middle of the night. By the 3rd afternoon I felt better..but it has been a week and a half and I am still having bad dreams and a pins and needles feeling in my lower legs and chills. I never had Covid as far as I know. I am dreading the second shot, none of my friends had this happen.

Hi day of shot Pfizer was fine. second day so tired and dizzy. third day tired and little dizzy hope this ends soon its scary.

I had my second dose of Pfizer vaccine on 3/4. Minimal reaction that day – slightly sore arm, a little tired. Next day felt fine, but 2 days later began experiencing pins and needles sensations in both arms, hands, legs and feet. Comes and goes, but still occurring every day. Taking antihistamine per doctor recommendation, not sure it’s helping. Doc says it could last 4 weeks. Has anyone had this reaction that’s been resolved?

I had my my second dose on March 4. Had a minimal reaction that day – slightly sore arm and a little fatigued. Felt fine the next day, but 2 days after the shot, I began feeling pins and needles sensations in both arms, hands, legs and feet. Comes and goes, but still experiencing those symptoms daily, 12 days after the shot. Have been taking antihistamine, per my doctor’s recommendation, but not sure it’s helping. She said it could last 4 weeks. Has anyone else experienced persistent pins and needles that resolved?

I had a first Does of Phizer vaccine about two weeks ago and still have slight Achiness in my legs anyone else have this ?

I’m wondering if we can have side effects almost 2 weeks after receiving the second vaccine. I am experiencing fatigue, headache, muscle aches but also the symptom that’s bothering me the most is gastrointestinal symptoms, such as heartburn indigestion and just being very uncomfortable. I just feel lousy but not sure if it’s related to the vaccine or possibly another illness.

I received the first Pfizer vaccine on March 10th and also took Tylenol prior to getting the vaccine which helped . The first day after the vaccine and the Tylenol wore off, I experienced being really tired, headache, sore arm and really weird unexplainable feelings. The next day, I tried to ride my bike and do my normal 40 mins aerobics routine and I was not able to either one because my knees are swollen and sore. Today is March 16th, five days later after receiving the first vaccine and my knees are still swollen and sore. In November 2019, I was told by my doctor that my x-ray showed a little arthritis in my needs so I think the vaccine has agitated them because it is so uncomfortable to walk up and down the stairs. not to mention I miss exercising.

Healthy 39 year old got 1st pfizer shot Sunday evening. Two hours later hands turned ghost pale white and hands and feet started tingling like pins and needles. I felt exhausted, cold and very fatigued. I’ve been anxious ever since. Heart rate went up. Joints sore. I’ve felt these symptoms for two days and today is day 3 and so far I think I feel better but has anyone else experienced this??

Had my first Pfizer vaccine and didn’t even feel it..no sore arm at all. However after 8 hrs I started losing my balance and started feeling dizzy and nautious. Out of curiosity I checked my blood pressure as I heard this may change… I have never suffered from high blood pressure but it rocketed up to 167/107. My neighbour is a doctor and we called him in to check i was ok.. he monitored me and my blood pressure for the following 24 hrs and it was chaotic. It settled down after 48hrs but after 3 weeks I still have dizzy spells. I am concerted about the 2nd dose but hopefully it won’t be as bad.. I do have allergies and a poor immune system.

I had my second Pfizer shot on March 16th. I just felt very cold not shivering just as though my body temperature dropped all night. I was fine the next day however I am now on my 2 day and woke up with such pain in my jaw on the side where I got my shot. Could be swollen nodes, watching it and wondering if anyone else had a side effect like this.

I had my 2nd Covid-19 vaccination on March 8th, 2021 (Pfizer) and had very little reaction, other than a sore arm for about 4 days. It’s been 8 days since that 2nd vaccine and I’ve noticed that I have a mild headache almost constantly with no explanation. I’m not sure if it’s related the Covid-19 vaccine, but I sure hope it goes away because I rarely get headaches so it’s a little worrying. Not sure if this a very rare side-effect, given that it’s been 8 days since that 2nd vaccination?

Had my first Pfizer vaccine On 10 of March 2021
As today 18 of March still I feeling some time cold my body
What I do now ? Before I am very strong now feeling very week

I had the Pfizer vaccine four days ago. I have a real bad head cold. Nothing in chest or anywhere else but this is awful

I had my first shot on March 11th and had pain in the injection sight for 3 days, feel very tired for 3 days. But after 2 days, I started feeling pins and needle in both feet and hands. It is started as come and go but now it stays all day. It is not getting any worse also not getting better either. Anyone experienced pins needle, please let me know how long did it take to stop feeling the sensation. It’s not too painful but is super annoying. Thanks.

I too had weird, vivid, unpleasant dreams for days after my first dose of Pfizer vaccine. Didn’t think it was anything to do with the vaccine until reading others experienced the same.

Hi,
Had my AZ/Oxford jab yesterday, today I haver a horrible headache and brain zaps, I have had brain zaps before but not quite as bad as this. Seems to be every time I move I get one after another.

Other than that I have a slight fever which is to be expected…

I’ll try to update people when this resolves as there seems to be a lot of worried people out there.

100% of comments here have painful experience after having the PFizer vaccine. I am scheduled mine on the 31 of March. I hope some people that have mild or no side effects comes out and share to see other other side of the coin. I am now lost if I still go for this vaccine or wait a little more.

There was absolutely no information on not to take Tylenol before you got the Pfizer shot. I take Tylenol daily for pain. I am disabled. I have mitral valve regurgitation a very high heart rate, high bp, brain injury from dying 4 times.
I’m very upset. We know for a fact we contracted this around Christmas. Our grandchildren were there. I had a persistent dry cough unproductive. So much so that I could hardly catch my breath. I couldn’t eat for days. And I am 5’” and weighed 145. I now am down to 130 q15 lbs underweight.
I had a malpractice lawsuit where the surgeon ripped out my uterus and left ovary. I died 4 times from bleeding to death and them not getting a general surgeon in. Finally after firing my doctor a general surgeon came in and saved my life.
I didn’t have crazy dreams because of that traumatic event being on a respirator for 10 given my last rights and remember thing that were said in surgery. Coming to after being resuscitated heading to the or. I went through 4 surgeries which also caused me ptsd.
I take medications to sleep because of the severity of nightmare and if I fall asleep will I wake up?
Last night on ABC world news they said not to take Tylenol before the Pfizer shot. It was never mention by Pfizer, cdc. It wasn’t on the paperwork when we went to get our shot. So THERE WAS NO INFORMATION!!!!
It said that if I took Tylenol before getting the Pfizer shot it could lessen my immunity.
I have mitral valve regurgitation, an extremely high heart rate, scarring in my lungs from the respirator and I was born with asthma. Not to mention right frontal love brain damage caused by no oxygen when I died 4 times
so it said it could weaken your immunity. I have 2 young grandchildren that lost their father( my son) to intentional suicide.
Our side of the family , let’s say a re way lees dramatic, we don’t argue and have never been physical with each other. So they enjoy this atmosphere. So now do I have to keep them away now?? We are the only peace they get.
The other side, the paternal side is so way dysfunctional!
Do I need a little bit more than the normal dosage next time to replace me talking Tylenol?
I have to take it everyday for pain. I was also at a stop with a car in front of me and was rear ended at 70-80 mph down into a 70 ft steep revine and was luck and blessed enough to get the car turned around so my son side didn’t go into the trees. I have thoracic outlet compression in both arms , cervical fusion and just starting to come out of a deep depression. I have maybe been out of my house 10 times in the last 4 years.
I also have to be fully protected around my husband who has diabetes, severe sleep apnea and fused back and copd and peripheral neuropathy?
What’s the CORRECT ANSWER HERE ??????

First Pfizer shot: I had minor ach in my arm (no different than any other shot) a few days of loss of appetite (no complaint there, lol) BUT I am losing my hair, whether I comb it or not… If I run my hand through it I get 10 to 20 hairs – every morning, not broken ones either, these are full length! So help me if I go bald – I will be fit to be tied!!!!

It’s been 9 days since I got my first Pfizer shot. At first not many adverse reactions,,, sure arm, a little body ache. In the last couple of days started getting pins and needles in my arms, legs, hands and feet. Fast heartbeat, Brain zaps at night and weak legs. I’m also tired. This is so weird. Called my Drs, they don’t know if it’s from the vaccine, but it all started after getting it, so I’m convinced it’s from that. I’m also seeing similar stories here, so that just helps confirm I’m not the only one. I wonder how long this will last. So irritating and worrisome.

I have had my first injection on 17th of March. First it was only an ache on the arm, 2 days later I started coughing and I had flu like symptoms, runny nose, sore throat etc. Now, paperwork they have me states that with the exception of pain in the arm, none of this are vaccine side effects, but I am one of those people who doesn’t get flu or gets it once in every few years. I firmly believe I don’t have flu and all these are caused by vaccine. Having said that most of my mates who got it had no side effects, so it’s not that bad for everyone.

Hi I’ve had my first injection in Feb I now keep getting sharp pricks in my arm where I had my needle

I received the first dose today and beyond a little tingling in my fingers, I feel ok. A little tired. It’s been four hours since I was vaccinated. I’ll update after after 24 hrs.

I had my 1st Pfizer jab on March 12, didn’t really feel much side effects for two to three days but the fourth day I felt the flu like symptoms like chills , rib hurting, and mostly fatigue but no fever . Today is my 10th day after the jab, The rib pain and chills are almost gone but fatigue is on and off still it’s annoying, and legs are a little sore specially the calf muscles, it feels like you just finished running or something! I still have my 2nd dose coming soon , I’m hoping for the best!

Had my first Oxford jab ,24 hours later I got the shakes lost the ability to walk or talk for a couple of hours,it felt like I was having a stroke.

I had the vaccine, went cross country skiing the next day, felt great, celebrated with a few alcoholic beverages, the next day was dehydrated and headache, oh thats right, i must’ve been hungover….

Hi, I had my first Pfizer jab on 25 Feb. I then had a very sore arm, joint pain and and nausea for about 2 days after. I thought I had got away with any nasty side effects but then on day 6, I started to experience what I can only describe as a sunburnt burning feeling all across my back, chest area and down my arms. Since then it has been getting more intense and at night it really burns. On day 6, my armpits also started feeling really swollen and my neck felt really sore. My joint pain is also getting worse, particularly over the last week or so in my ankles, feet and lower back. My main concern at the moment though is the constant burning across my back. Has anyone else experienced that? And how long did it last? I’m feeling worried about having my second jab as they say side effects can be worse after that. Hoping someone else has had these effects as I can’t find any mention of them when I try to find out. My GP says it’s unlikely to be connected but I was completely fine before I had the jab! It was 4 weeks ago that I had the first one.

Has anybody had a terrible metallic taste in their mouth and a stinging sensation across their chest and arms after the first jab of AZ?

I got the Pfizer vaccine on Thursday March 18 in my left arm. On Friday I remember noticing that my right breast and top of my right arm (opposite arm) were tender. On Saturday my breast pain had subsided but my arm hurt from the wrist to the shoulder. By “hurt” I mean that if felt like every muscle was crying from weakness when I lifted my arm. I started wondering if I was having a stroke of something because the pain was so unusual and something I had never experienced before. Of course I researched all my symptoms and managed to find two entries on this site that describe the same thing I was feeling – pain in the opposite arm. I felt so much better knowing I wasn’t going crazy and that others shared my side effect. (ps: I also had very vivid dreams but I enjoyed them immensely. By Monday my pain was essentially gone and I’m good. I appreciate this website, thank you all for posting your experience.

Had vaccine on 25 Feb, felt like coming down with something on 2 and 3 March, felt bit better then was ill for five days on 7 March and 9 to 12 March with shaking, muscle aches, exhaustion and vivid dreams. Only fully recovered on 16 March. This after one dose of Pfizer. Thought it was actual virus but still not sure one way or the other.

Within several hours of the 1st. Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine my hands started tingling and are sensitive to heat, the sun, and feel cool. Day 2 seems to be getting worse and my hands feel like they have an sunburned on top of the other symptoms.

I received the first dose of Pfizer vaccine yesterday about 3:30 PM. I sat there for observation for 30 minutes because I do have unidentified allergies. I felt fine afterwards, I even remember thinking that’s weird the pain I usually feel in my lower back seems to have gone away. It wasn’t until after I ate dinner this overwhelming feeling of tiredness came over me then diarrhea and also simultaneously felt like I might throw up. I crawled into bed at 6:00 PM and didn’t wake up until 9:00 PM. The diarrhea and nausea had gone, but felt very heavy and tired. Slept from 11:00 PM until 11:00 AM and still had to talk myself into getting up. Body temperature has swung a little from hot to cold. A little bit of sore throat, but that’s what finally got me out of bed this morning, my eyes and throat were extremely dry. Lack of energy.

I had the Pfizer vaccine on 20 Jan 21. I started noticing pins and needles in my right middle finger on 15 March. By 19th it had spread to both hands and now 24th March it is in both hands and both feet. It isnt constant but comes and goes
I now think the pins and needles in my hands and feet are a side effect of the vaccine. GP/blood test has ruled out diabetes. Cant be carpal tunnel because it affects my feet too. Hope it goes away soon.

Just had my first dose of phizer today March 24 after 10 mins of shot I felt dizziness and it went away; about 5 hours later headache and fatigue like I’m coming down with flu with no symptoms and my opposite arm hurts, heart racing. I hope I feel better tomorrow will let you know. I’m 55 yrs old.

I had my first shot 3/24 and I just feel very hot. But no temperature. I have always run on the low side but am just a tad bit lower than usual and yet feel like I can spontaneously combust! It started about 4 hours after I received the Pfizer vaccine,

THANK YOU! I am on day three of 1st shot and the dreams are unbelievably vivid. Its like theater. With the many other side effects, the dreams are CRAZY!!!

I had my first shot 3/4/21 and only had a sore arm which was cured with Tylenol. About 2 weeks later I started feeling extremely fatigue, and had a runny nose and some sneezing, allergy symptoms. I kept dozing off and was super lethargic. I took allergy medicine, and EmergC. About 5 days later I begin to feel better, more like my normal self. I had Covid back in July not sure if that changes your reaction to the vaccine. Today I took my second shot. Its been 5 hours and just have a sore arm so far.

I had my first shot 3/4/21 and only had a sore arm which was cured with Tylenol. About 2 weeks later I started feeling extremely fatigue, and had a runny nose and some sneezing, allergy symptoms, and hot flashes, clamy feeling. I kept dozing off and was super lethargic. I took allergy medicine, and EmergC. About 5 days later I begin to feel better, more like my normal self. I had Covid back in July not sure if that changes your reaction to the vaccine. Today I took my second shot. Its been 5 hours and just have a sore arm so far. I am 29, female, with no underlying health issues.

First, I sure hope everyone is reporting their symptoms.

Second, I got my first dose of Pfizer yesterday, felt fine immediately after, then three hours later, developed tinnitus, could hear my heartbeat in my ears, and developed mild pain in my temples. My doctor plans an MRI if tinnitus does not subside by day four.

I wish everyone the best with these unusual symptoms.

Anyone have their tinnitus subside? Curious also about the nature of others’ tinnitus…mine is the whine of and old electronic device, like an old tube television set.

Your reference to tinnitus is interesting. I received my first Pfizer vaccination in January and a week or so later was aware of mild tinnitus in my left ear. Sometimes a high-pitched whining, at other times a whooshing noise like breaking waves. Howver, I did not associate this with the vaccine because my late mother suffered from tinnitus at the age I am now, The tinnitus has now now largely disappeared but I have my second dose next week and will see if it returned. I am a medical writer and journalist, now semi-retired.

Got my 1st Pfizer yesterday…. the dreams I had last pm were so REAL. Couldn’t wake myself up from them, which I can easily do normally. I knew they were dreams. Once I was able to come out of sleep, I’d go right back said dream. Very VERY scarily vivid and trippy. I’m thinking this was a side effect. Although(thank God) the dreams were all enjoyable, for the most part… could’ve turned into nightmares. I’m hoping I get some regular sleep this evening.

Glad to have found this site. I had my first Pfizer shot on Feb.24; had arm soreness for a day or two, as well as a “pins and needles” feeling all over my body, which then went away. After having my second shot on March 17 (felt the needle go in this time unlike the first one which was pretty smooth!), I had the pins and needles feel again for a couple of days along with a momentary feeling of numbness on my cheek, which then went away. My concern, however, is the arm soreness that still persists 9 days after the shot, along with a numbing sensation and an occasional pinching in the arm throughout the day. I have been taking Tylenol, Ibuprofen, as well as applying ice to the area, but to no avail! The needle’s spot is still dark-red/purplish (turning green and yellow for the most part these days) – but the pain does not feel normal at this point, especially compared to my first shot. I also feel a throbbing heartbeat kind of feeling in both of my ears. Since I already have a history of “bursitis” and “tendonitis” on the same shoulder/arm, I am wondering if the lingering arm pain may also have to do with any of these symptoms?

Pfizer vac 1st dose on March 11. Typical sore arm, headache…but the wild dreams are horrible! The worst, so far, is a bear trying to eat me with my only defense being an old galvanized garbage can and a baseball bat! Shoved the can over its head and pounded on the can with the bat. Well, at least his headache was prolly worse than mine…

I am a 66 yo female. I had insomnia start (middle of the night) after first Pfizer vaccine, as well as leg pain (thighs and calves), which was sometimes contributing to the insomnia; also increase in tinnitus (already had mild tinnitus). All of this got worse with the second vaccine, and after a month, it is starting to become more moderate to mild, with some nights better than others. The leg pain is variable during the day and night, being most bothersome at night. The worst symptoms (fever, chills, shaking, terrible insomnia, body aches, exhaustion) lasted about 48 hours after second vaccine.

However, if this is even a fraction of what one would experience with covid, I am REALLY glad I got the vaccine and would do it again. I must say I’m not looking forward to the boosters, but again, I really don’t want covid, so will take the boosters.

I have autoimmune Hashimoto’s thyroid disease. Anyone else with this experience?

I am on a heart monitor for an irregular heartbeat. Did not notice this before taking the Pfizer second shot. Has anyone else noticed this problem. Do not know if it is connected.

I had my first Pfitzer shot on 3/22. Had pretty sore arm the next day and was extremely fatigued for the next 3 days. They suggested to drink plenty of fluids such as water or gatorade and keep hydrated. I started to eat an extremely heavy fruits and vegetable diet leading up to the vaccine to prime my body with nutrients so not sure if that helped with some of the other side effects. I was aware of the information to not take any acetaminophen/Tylenol or ibuprofen/Motrin before getting the vaccination only because I take a daily pill and read on the cdc website what not to do in preparation to receiving your shot. My husband received the shot at the same time. He is having other side effects. He started with a headache two days later and now he has a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. He said it feels similar to when he had strep throat last March although a trip to the emergency room yesterday and rapid testing said negative on covid and strep. During some research and postings here I have read that maybe the vaccine is resurfacing some dormant viral infections in your bodies so maybe it’s reactivating something he had prior? Or maybe his body is just responding to the vaccine with a sore throat and enlarged lymph nodes. He is not interested in getting the second shot at this point so I hope this passes soon. His doctor has prescribed an antibiotic.

Feeling of nausea for two weeks. Inside of nose very sore. But the more worrying symptom was bad swelling in feet – which went bright red or blotchy red and white for most of the time for about two weeks. Might be related to my having MS. Problem finally wore off but it does make me a bit apprehensive about the second dose.

I got my first Pfizer shot last Saturday. My arm was sore and swollen for about 3 days. On Wednesday I got this awful metallic taste in my mouth and I still have it. Everything I eat tastes weird now. I hope this goes away real soon.

Had second Pfizer dose a week ago and have experienced crazy, vivid, scary dreams where I could hear myself calling for help. Once my husband heard me and wakened me and second time (just now) I wakened myself. Still happy to have had the vaccine though.

I had my first Pfizer jab on March 23rd, and had some weird side effects. [TL;DR towards the bottom.]

First some background: I’m a 61 year old female living in Los Angeles, and even though most everyone here understands science, wears masks, keeps distant, and the COVIDIOTS are rare, it’s hit here very hard. We’ve got 10 million people here in LA Co, which is 25% of the population of the entire state. We’ve also mostly all been on voluntary lockdown/working from home if possible for over a year, and I haven’t even a had case of the sniffles in all that time because we wear masks even to go to the mailbox in our apartment complex. My man is 50, and has cardiomyopathy while I’ve inherited my family’s high cholesterol, and am fighting against ASCVD as hard as possible. I’m also a broken ballerina who grew up riding horses and should have The Bionic Woman theme as my ringtone, (TWO titanium hips because SCIENCE and because I’m an elf and spent most of the time doing the leaping about etc.)

We both eat healthy, exercise, and try to fight to stay as in shape as possible. I’ve also got type A blood which is 50% higher chance of ending up on a ventilator if I were to contract COVID. We’ve stuck with protocol, and spend a lot of time on zoom. (If I lose the internet I may lose my mind. Anyone need some good streaming binge recommendations? I’m happy to share.)

When I arrived at the vaccination site, myself and everyone there were all very excited and relieved to finally be getting vaccinated. The staff were all super nice, and in great moods. It was almost a party vibe so I’m certain my adrenaline levels were high getting this vaccination.

Thinnest needle ever, and barely felt it. Easy! Sat in my physically-distant chair and chatted with the others waiting our 15min to make sure no one had any severe reactions.

I’ve never been allergic to anything. Not bees, shellfish, pet dander, nothing. (Well, okay, I’m allergic to stupid people. But working at Disneyland for nearly a decade was close to an mRNA vaccine in that it taught me to identify and learn to deal with them. “It may be The Happiest Place on Earth, but a moving Pirate boat can still kill you. “

TL;DR:
On the 5min drive home I started to get tingling/pins & needles beginning at the injection site (left arm), that spread down to my fingers. By the time I arrived home it had also gone up my neck, and jaw, then eventually filled the entire left side of my body down to my feet. Nothing was completely numb, it just felt like Novocain wearing off. My BP was 113/70, HR 65, BO 100. This lasted for the rest of the day, with BP coming up to 123/77. At one point I felt it also from my right elbow to my hand, but that only lasted 20-30min. I still feel it slightly on the left side of my neck. Also had fatigue that lasted 3 days. Woke up Wednesday and Thursday with a skull-wrap muscle headache, and for the last 4 nights my chronic insomnia has really ramped up. The tingling has by far been the most disconcerting as I’ve only found it listed under “severe” side effects. I’ve contacted Pfizer to see if they recommend I switch to the J&J as a second jab. I’m also calling my GP’s office tomorrow, but while they’re great, they’re not Epidemiology and Virology specialists.

I’m going to do my best to report back with any updates. And thanks to everyone posting here!

I have my first Pfizer Jab getting on a month ago, no issues except a sore arm with swelling and redness for around 4-5 days. However now I have a massive dip in my muscle where the jab site was and the area is sore again. It sounds crazy but it’s like the muscle has been eaten away. I will be reporting this as it’s not right. But I would love to know if anyone else has or is experiencing the same?
Thanks

Two people I know who recieved the Pfizer somehow got shingles a few days later.
I had a abscess tooth the day of the Pfizer shot. Worked a nightshift the night before the shot. Felt like heck for a couple of days. Funny thing the abscess tooth was gone after three days. Went to dentist and he said “figuring that out is above my pay grade”!

Have now had both pfizer jabs. Sore arm but that was it. Nothing else.

Got my first dose of Pfizer on the 24 th. Couldn’t sleep that night and now been having vivid crazy dreams. Glad I’m not the only one. Been real tired too.

Did anyone who had the brain zaps and mental side effects after the first shot get the second shot and if so, how was it? The brain side effects from Pfizer first dose is making me really nervous to get second dose.

Had my 2nd dose of Pfizer about two weeks ago. Was ill that evening with freezing cold feeling, uncontrollable shivers, headache, nausea, then hot and sweating. Felt better 48 hours after.

However 10 days after, my left arm started to burn like it was sunburnt. Now my upper chest sound my neck, my upper back, down both arms and my hands really burn particularly in the evenings, almost like sunburn and my skin gets red like it’s really irritated. It’s very uncomfortable.

Somewhat concerning to see others on here with the same problem. Would be interested to hear of anyone had this and more it’s resolved as I’m concerned the vaccine has caused a problem with nerves…

I got J and J this morning and by 5 pm I had all the symptoms: nausea, fever of 101.5, headache, body ache, dizziness like I’ve never had before, fatigue, even brain zaps which feel similar to when I miss a dose of Prozac. I’m thinking it might be smart to report the zaps to the CDC so they know. When I got zaps, I was very very alarmed bc I didn’t expect it.

It is 9 pm now and the zaps have subsided. I took Tylenol for the fever. I’ve read mixed advice on whether to take Tylenol, but I felt I needed to get the fever down. praying I feel better tomorrow.

I had the first Pfizer vaccine 31.01.21 and had what I classed as normal side effects for the first 24 hours: shivering, fever, brain fog and sore arm.

48 hours in and I felt awful, started experiencing a loud high pitch ringing in both ears, left ear worse. Started having high anxiety and the panic attacks.

I haven’t slept properly since the vaccine and have tried everything from yoga to Zopiclone and everything in between but I just can’t stay asleep. I can go to sleep but I wake up every 1.5-2 hours and normally drenched in sweat.

I’m 2 weeks away from my second shot but I doubt I’ll have it!

Has anyone else had Tinnitus that resolved (this would be highly unlikely as once you get it it’s normally permanent) or sleep maintenance issues?

I had my first jab on 08/01/2021 which was a Friday, on the following Wednesday i was taken by ambulance to St Thomas hospital suffering from a virtual infection in my inner ear (coincidence?) which totally disabled me, constant sickness and and unable to stand up. the doctor said i had an inner ear infection. i spent 8 weeks not being at all well.
I had my 2nd vaccination last Wednesday. since then i have had a constant headache and feel woozy.
A small price to pay for a life saving drug.
I am 62 and fit but you just don’t know how covid-19 will effect you if you catch it.

I had swelling of the face 1.5 hrs after injection. Benadryl was ok at curbing the symptoms. I also had tingling and numbness throughout body for 2 days. Starting 3rd day I feel normal.

The comments just saved me. I have leg and hands are tingling, can’t stop sleeping, my body aches, have a fever, and the dreams are out of control. It’s day 4 after getting the second shot. When will I feel better from this.

After reading the comments, you made me feel less alone. I had to take off work again and I think they think I’m lying. Tingling in my hands and legs, exhaustion, my body aches and feels “weird”. I have a head ache and a fever and lastly, the craziest dreams. I woke up feeling completely delusional. Today is the 4th day after my second Pfizer vaccine.

did any of you consumed any thc or cbd product after getting the mrna vaccine?

I am a 65 year old man and I got my second Phizer vaccine on Saturday the 27th. I had a horrible frightening dream last night where I was in danger, I was aware that I was in my bedroom, I think someone was coming for me. I was unable to call out and then finally I felt like I screamed and woke up. It was so scary and the fear that I experience was unreal. I also just generally feel mentally unwell. I am very worried and anxious. It has been one week since the second dose. I hope this gets better.

I got tingling in my fingers a few days after my first pzifer shot. I went ahead to get my second shot a few days ago even though I still had tingling in the fingers. I feel it sometimes or maybe when I’m doing something else I don’t feel it, I’m not sure. My hands seem to be cold a lot and I feel the tingling especially when I’m cold. I’ve been wearing gloves around the house every now and then. I’ve been trying to get a hold of my doctor but in the meantime but it seems like there’s nothing I can do about it except hope it goes away. It’s been almost 4 weeks now. I’m glad that there are other people with this side effect because I originally thought it was carpal tunnel. I am very surprised that it’s not listed as a common side effect for pzifer as it seems a lot of people are having this problem. I’m just trying to find out if anyone who’s had this… did I go away after a few weeks? Months? It’s not horrible but just very annoying.

Just had my second Pfizer shot yesterday, as expected, a bit sore on the upper arm, nothing unusual about that, but for the last 2 -3 weeks after the first shot, I’ve had tingling in my arm and I put it down to my arthritis in my spine , but the more I read these posts here, I’m wondering if this tingling in the opposite arm ( right) to the one where I had the vaccine, is at all related to the vaccine. If it is, I’m actually relieved, as I thought it might be more serious problems with my loss of cartilage and the vertibrae beginning to press on my nerves. So that’s good news for me, hopefully it will fade away in a couple of weeks! Tingling is a lot better than dying of suffocation with covid in a hospital bed!

Hi wondering if anyone maybe able to help me .. I had the Pfizer on the 2nd feb all I had was ache arm for 2 day … but now I keep getting pains in my arm that shoot down to my hand pulsating pain is this something to be worried about ?

First injection of Pfizer I only had a sore arm and some unusual spaced out euphoria in the night, and 2 days of fatigue. The night of the second injection my arm was more sore than previous injection. Got the same spaced out euphoria, almost giddy feeling . In the middle of the night I felt suddenly freezing, and shaking with cold even though I was in the desert and our weather was hot. After wrapping up in hat and extra blankets I got comfortable and it lasted about 3 hours before feeling warm again. Also got the flulike symptom of feeling ‘run over by a truck’. It was unpleasant, but by mid-morning most aches and pains were gone. Continued to have periods of fatigue for a few days after that.

Anyone experiencing a UTI or pressure in there bladder? My daughter and I are after having the Pfizer first dose .

I had the Pfizer vaccine in Feb. After had a numb tongue but felt ok. One week later woke up with vertigo and headache. Since then have woken with these symptoms for a week. They lessened for a while and the vertigo is improved but the strange headaches and brain fag are leaving me tired frequently. I’ve also felt numbness in my head and in some limbs. I don’t know whether to get the second jab.

I had the pfizer first vaccination almost 5 weeks ago and still have the following symptoms:
– rash which has turned into chronic ezcema all over body
– weird bruises still appearing
– non stop headache
I’m really anxious about having the second vaccination. Surely it’s not normal to have side effects 5 weeks later? I was perfectly healthy before this vaccination. I have spoken to the Dr who said they still don’t know about side effects and just to monitor them. I feel like I’m alone in this

Maybe someone have night sweats and hot flashes after 2nr Pfizer dose?

In my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine I had a fever which lasted only a day. After my second vaccine later in the day I had stomach cramps and heartburn indigestion which faded away 2 days later however 2 weeks on I still feel bloated and sometimes get those stomach cramps. And now since 5 days ago I have this really bad migraine with tingling sensations on my feet and head. Just hope all this fades away soon.

6 weeks after the vaccine I’m still experiencing extreme pins and needles around my left face head and eye. With A month long prednisone pack and anti-convulsants the severity has waned in intensity and is now only somewhat debilitating. Really wish there was more public research on this.

I had the second pfizer shot two weeks ago. Starting about a week ago had stomach pains, diarrhea, dizziness, etc. Today , dizziness, weakness in legs, weakness in abdominal muscles. Started shaking violently, couldn’t control or stop it. Lasted about 15 minutes, after it stopped,
totally fatigued. Not good.

First shot just sore arm. second shot pain on lower right stomach. all day intermittent. Anyone else experience this pain?

I had my first Pfizer dose on March 21 and about 3 days later started feeling pins and needles (more like a burning feeling) in my feet, but it wasn’t constant. I didn’t associate it with the vaccine unfortunately and got my second does on April 3.. A few days after the second dose, the pins and needles got much worse and spread to my hands and wrists. Saw my doctor yesterday, and she did blood work to rule out anything else, but she thinks it’s an immune system reaction to the vaccine. If you’ve experienced this, did your symptoms eventually go away, and how long did it take? Thanks!

Been reading peoples side effects and praying they resolve soon, heart goes out to you all. Let us know when they resolve so we can celebrate w you! Had some extreme muscles pains and chills at night of my own after first shot and lymph node swelling under both arms and knots in chest muscles ( which partly had a fall on a trail race a few days before shot so sore muscles got sorer) which spasm at night w the chills on and off. Getting better. It’s been 11 days since first shot, so saw my doc about it yesterday. Voltaren and muscle relaxants at night help. Still have some shaking chills on and off, a few minutes at a time, which delays sleep though but getting less.

Had my first dose of Pfizer yesterday evening. The injection site got sore overnight, and I’ve had mild muscle ache. I’ve also had some coughing and intermittent sneezing, which I thought was weird. I have no underlying conditions, in fairly good health.

My husband has rheumatoid arthritis and has had some pretty bad muscle aches, even after taking extra OTC painkiller. (He got the Pfizer shot when I did)

Second shot of Pfizer 7 days ago. Nerve pain/pins and needles left lower arm and hand. Was in both hands, arms and feet a few days ago overnight. Hoping this subsides and if it doesn’t it might be time to see my doctor.

First shot of Pfizer a week ago. Mild soreness in arm from shot. Day after, the neuropathy in face, hands, arms, legs and feet started. Random tingling and what felt like coldness in bones. Extreme fatigue came out of nowhere for several days. So much so that I literally fell asleep on the spot twice a day for a couple of days. Those things have gone away a bit but the side effects that I dislike the most have not and those are the mental ones. Constant brain fog, difficulty concentrating and what seems like depression. Just very “spaced out” with lack of interest in anything. This was absolutely not present prior to the vaccination. I am extremely fit without any underlying health problems and take zero prescriptions. There are clearly many things that have not been disclosed officially about potential side effects. “Goes away in a few days” is complete BS in my opinion and they need to stop saying things like that.

It was a bit of a relief when I came across these comments and saw I’m not the only one having some weird side effects. I think I should also preface that despite the side effects, I’d still get the vaccine, and will get my second dose when I’m able to (although personally I’ll be planning to do it Friday afternoon with zero weekend plans).

I had COVID in July, and had my Pfizer vaccination 5 days ago. That evening I started to have a constant urge that I needed to urinate, which got worse in the following days. I assumed I likely had a UTI (which I’ve never had before), but after coming across some people with similar symptoms, it sounds like it being from the vaccine may be a possibility. I wasn’t able to get in to see a doctor during the work week, so I drank a ton of fluids and cranberry juice. Five days later and it’s definitely subsided for the most part, but still going to get checked out by a doctor for a UTI just in case. The first day after getting the vaccine I had a very sore arm, body aches, chills, and a headache. Advil, a hot bath and early bed time did wonders. Felt a lot better the following day, and on the 3rd day had no body chills or aches. I’m still having headaches that come and go, and fluctuate in severity. Battling a rough one this morning. My arm where I got vaccinated is still a little bit sore when I reach up, but this is pretty typical for me with any type of shot.

Had my first Pfizer dose yesterday morning and started having pelvic pain last night like I’m ovulating which is impossible since I’m menopaused. Anyone else experienced this?

Yvonne –
Hi I had my first Pfizer jab on the 19 th February . Experienced sore painful arm at injection site only. Then 4 days later burning feet, itchy all over body and very itchy scalp . Then red skin blotches on my face and any dry skin patches on my face hands erupted red and sore – along with this excruciating pain in the top of left arm where I had my injection) but only when I raised my arm eg: when washing/pinning my hair up or reached up my back. I also had numbness in my arm, tingling and pins and needles right down to two middle fingers. I want GP because I was worried he absolutely does not believe it’s the jab! Told to do Shoulder exercises and sent for X-ray on my shoulder- there’s nothing wrong with my shoulder!!!! I told him this???? Feel frustrated and not believed.

I had my second Pfizer Biontech jab in the last 24 hours and have developed very painful aching around the jaw teeth and face on the side i had the jab.

I had typical flu like symptoms for a couple of days after the first AstraZeneca vaccination. I have since been experiencing the following:
•36 hours after vaccination, I woke up and my blood pressure dropped and I almost fainted. This is extremely rare for me.
•Night sweats for 4 or 5 nights post vaccination.
•Headaches on and off for 10 days.
•Sore arm – still tender to touch after 10 days.
•Pins and needles in hands (particularly fingers), arms, calves and feet. On and off for the last 10 days. Improving but still there and mainly on non-injection side of body.
•Strange light headed/dizziness moments. Hard to focus. Still ongoing after 10 days.
•Fatigue and definitely sleeping more than usual.

I am so pleased that I discovered this thread as I have been extremely anxious and I have felt alone in my symptoms. I know my body well and I just know I haven’t felt normal since the first vaccination. I have no underlying health conditions and I am pretty fit.
I feel as though my symptoms are not well documented and many are not on the AstraZeneca documentation. You have to search hard to find similar experiences and there is some scary stuff out there relating to Guillain-Barré syndrome etc.
I am hoping these conditions improve and I am very worried about a second shot.

I had my second vaccine on Thursday 4/8. I woke up that night with intense level 10 jaw pain. I have been experiencing pain every day on my jaw now at about level 6. My teeth no longer touch when I bite down.

I had my first Astra Zeneca jab on 19th March, i had the usual aches & feeling rubbish the next day & arm pain for a few days but other than that i was ok.
However my worry is since, I’ve had on/off tingling/pins& needles in the arm i had my jab in, from the elbow down to my fingers. It happens a few times a day, usually doesn’t last long but is quite unpleasant! I just worry how long this is going to go for? Has this resolved in anyone that has had the same symptoms?

I had the 2nd pfizer shot 30 hours ago. I had no unusual symptoms until about an hour ago when I woke up remembering the shockingly vivid, unpleasant dreams I just had. I rarely remember my dreams. My arm also has become a little sore but tolerable.

GOOD MORNING!- My hubby and I are getting out 1st vaccine today (very happy) and prepared- As a retired R.N. , I know that to help ease some discomfort in the inj site- RELAX your arm as much as possible, and if you do start having “Pain, warmth, swelling) apply cool compresses intermittently, but, try not to baby your arm, USE IT!, if you can ,without mod-severe pain. Use your judgement, you know your body. Hubby and I both have serious issues ( COPD, Scarred lungs ALREADY so that getting Covid could kill us, so we have been as careful as millions of others, and made it this far but, I am so grateful for this site, we are ALL different, and we all have to keep info flowing so the scientists can continue to combat these viruses. I learned a lot from just this site- I knew about the headaches, body aches, (all that) but, Just reading this PRIOR to my 1st Pfizer vaccine today makes me feel more informed, So I Thank You all! I had no idea about the possibility of dreams, nor being a Chronic Pain Patient did I hear anything about people who have had pain issues in the past or currently, having symptoms POSSIBLY exacerbated would be a better choice of words! , is important info to know. So Thank you all, I’ll let you know how things go….” Oh Happy Day~!” I would like to take a moment to remember all of the souls we lost, over 500,000 in the U.S alone and their families today…it seems to be the right thing to do, I wish they were here with their families, We are human and we all have different reactions to the vaccines as some had to the Covid 19, so, we must work together, support each other, inform each other to beat this, there will be more to come and we have brilliant people ALL OVER THE WORLD who have done everything they can to stop this nightmare, as Americans, we will. That fact, I have FAITH IN! We on on our way to get ready, and I’ll update as I can. Thank you to all for your sharing, it truly has helped. Have a wonderful day! Things WILL get better! Thanks, Be well!

I received the first shot on 4/8 and had ZERO issues until 4/11 4/12 when i began breaking out in cold sweats became tired with some chills! Is this normal 6 days later ?

I had a completely different reaction. Injection site was slight pain – hardly noticeable. But for 5 hours after the first pfizer shot 4-12-21, I had super high energy. So much energy, I had to run in place for a bit to help to alleviate the energy. Afterward, I was slightly tired, but then I resumed normal activity. I’ve had no symptoms since then and the slight pain in the arm was gone in 24 hours.

I hope everyone who has commented here has reported these symptoms to VAERS. My husband just got second shot of Pfizer and 15 minutes after shot he has tingling and numbness in scalp, lips, and sinuses. I googled it and really can’t find anything except stuff on anaphylaxis which he doesn’t seem to be having. So many here experiencing the tingling and there is nothing out there about that! His tingling/numbness has not moved to arms and legs which seems very common on this thread- but I feel like if it does, now I will have seen how many other folks have had that as well. Prayers for all of you to feel better soon! I’m almost a month out from second Moderna and feel great.

I am so grateful for the comments on this page. I feel less alone and less scared now that I see my experience hasn’t been completely unique! I am a healthy 38 year old woman with no preexisting conditions other than anxiety disorder. I had my first Pfizer shot on the 6th and was so excited!

When I got home, within maybe an hour of the shot, my body felt “electric”. It may have been adrenalin, I’m still unsure. Felt okay otherwise, until I had a full blown panic attack a few hours later. Calmed myself down, went about the day, no other issues other than that kind of weird buzzing feeling throughout my body. Slight waves of dizziness, but nothing bad.

The next night (36 hours post shot), my anxiety was through the roof. I also noticed a prickling sensation on both arms and legs. No rash. This continued for a few days.

On day 4, the prickling turned into intermittent pins and needles all over my legs and arms. One leg also felt very weak, with a trembling muscle.

Today is day 8 and im still experiencing light pins and needles and a slightly weaker leg. The weaker leg also is experiencing some aching in my knee and ankle, which is odd. Anxiety is finally calming down, but it still feels abnormally heightened.

Oh! Also, my arms feel sunburned?! Definitely not burned. Not even red. Its just a feeling similar to a sunburn.

Anyone have a similar reaction to shot one go on to get shot two?! I so badly want it, but I dont know if I can put myself through this stress again. Also, anyone have insight as to what causes these weird sensations? I cannot find any medical information that explains it!

Take care of yourselves!

Hi I had vaccine on 22 Feb, I’m still having side effects I have ms, is there anyone with MS suffering like this, not enough information about people who have Ms I’m very concerned if these symptoms don’t improve soon doctors said they would ,have to take pain killers very day I’m not getting second vaccine.

I suffered from severe insomnia for seven years due to the menopause. It had thankfully stopped for two and a half years until the 5th of April when I had my first dose of the vaccine and now it’s back with a vengeance. It is very distressing and if I had known this was going to happen I wouldn’t have gone. I will not be going for the second until they sort this out.

Carole so glad I found thi site glad I’m not the only one suffering thisthankyou to everyone who posted hope you all improve soon

Just got my second Pfizer about a couple hours ago. After the first one, I had the usual arm soreness. Two days after, I was nauseous for one day, with pain in my belly. Since then, I’ve had weird movements in different areas of my belly off and on, and I’ve been more prone to have muscle cramps in weird places that you don’t normally think would cramp, like around the hip bone area. Not pregnant! A week ago, one spot on my belly began tingling now and then, kinda numb to the touch, and seems to move, flex on its own occasionally. Not painfully, just in a weird, collapsing in on itself, what’s taking over my body kind of way. Since taking the second dose, 2+ hours ago, the tingling, numbness and flexing have definitely increased.

Wow, 95% of your words are mine! My symptoms were more mild after my first shot; went ahead and got my second and now am having much more obvious side effects…very similar to how you are feeling. I regret my decision to get the second dose.

I got my second Pfizer shot yesterday morning. Within 6hrs my arm felt sore and by the time I went to bed around 9 I felt like I was coming down with something. I woke up many times during the night due to freezing. I was so cold and could not get warm. I finally gave up at 6:30 and got up. I was so light headed and extremely dizzy. I didn’t know what to do. My hands were both tingling and I also felt nauseous. Extreme cold sweats and scared. I called my husband to come home. I did not know what to do. I sipped some water and it seemed to help and back to bed I went and I’ve been there all day. No appetite and had to ask my 12 yr old to open a water bottle. Feeling weak as well.

Just curius ask to if anyone had a slight nose bleed that stopped a few moments late after covid shot

I’m a 42 Yr old Male from the UK, and had my 1st Pfizer Vaccine on 24th Feb – just over 7 weeks ago.
Approximately 14 minutes after the jab (I was just about to walk out), I had a scary bunch of reactions. Initially I felt a chemical type sensation up from my chest up to my throat. Immediately felt faint / sweaty, my tongue started tingling, my scalp was very painful and I was getting sharp intermittent pain in the nerves/muscles around my throat and under my mouth. Also realised my face was numb just under my right eye down to my jawline and my ears were popping like on a flight.
The Dr made me lie down, and told me he was certain it wasn’t an anaphylactic reaction (my tongue and throat had not swollen and I could breathe normally) – but he could not explain why this was happening.
7 weeks later, it is not as bad – but my tongue is still tingling, and I am still getting the sharp nerve/pain in my throat. Sometimes when I inhale, it feels like a cold nerve sensation in my windpipe/throat.
I still have intermittent facial numbing – although now it is on my left hand side. (The jab was given in my right arm and it was numb on the RHS at the vaccination centre).
I have also developed extreme pain in the tissue between my ribs just under my left pectoral next to my heart. It fluctuates in severity – when it’s bad I can only get semi comfortable lying on my back, and hurts when I inhale. The Dr has told me I have Costochondritis. I also have intermittent numbing of my fingers/hand.
I am convinced this nerve pain in my chest is caused by the same reaction which is causing my tingling tongue/facial numbing/Throat nerve pain sensations.
I should mention I have been treating Lyme Disease + Coinfections for years – and I suspect my overactive/suppressed immune system, has produced an exaggerated response to the vaccine. I wish I had not had it.
I got my blood tested for post-vaccination antibodies last week and still very high, and will re-test again in 6 Months.
In my opinion, the Pfizer jab should not be given to anyone who has a chronic condition like Lyme Disease or ME for example, as our immune response is different to that of a healthy person.
Misery likes company, so I am oddly reassured that others are having side effects. From what I read – there haven’t been many studies of the duration the immune system responds with 1 vaccine jab only. I’m hoping after another 3 – 6 Months it will reduce, and my side effects will improve.

Runny nose, Tired, sore arm and a bit of almost a headache. But the dreams which I cannot remember were the strangest ever.

Infected with covid back in Dec. Then vaccinated after a month.
1st vaccine only arm sore where the injected. Injected 2nd vaccine sore in arm. Then evening the next day thighs and feet/toe burning and tingling sensation. Couldnt sleep as duvet was like hurting me.
Im 28 year old diabetic but blood sugar not too high. Blood sugar was up few months but now under control even before covid vaccine. Doctor in A&E and 2 doctors in GP ruled out diabetes and one of them said it could late reaction to the vaccine. more than 3weeks now. Burning is not as bad as the first episode but still feeling tingling and burning sensation to some part of my thighs and tingling on feet. Still no diagnosis to this but recent blood result showed i was high in ferritin was told its marker for inflammation or infection.. Hoping tingling and burning goes away its really worrying .

oh and yes forgot got diazepam to relax the muscles so I could get some sleep..

I had my first Pfizer shot on Apr 6. The same night, my half face on the opposite side of the arm that got the shot felt numb. And the next few days, the numbness/stiffness seemed to be traveling around my face, sometimes on my forehead, lip, cheek, nose, eyelid, eyebrow. I was extremely worried and went to a doctor. The doctor was not sure about it and referred me to a neurologist. I also contacted the vaccination distributor and one doctor got back to me saying it’s a ‘common side effect’ and is usually resolved within a week.
And it did! After a week of extreme worries, it went away on Apr 13. What a relief, but I am so worried about how worse it would go when I get my second shot.

Extremely anxious since I got my first shot and the next 4-5 days later. Now going much better but it was absolutely scary

I’m so thankful I found this page. I had a lot of symptoms and couldn’t find anything on any of it. I do suffer from fibromyalgia and migraines
I will note that some of these symptoms didn’t get until like 7 or 8 days after the 1st shot. When I got tye 1st Pfizer shot. I just got a migraine wave and feeling tired but then days later..The brain zaps were terrible. I also had the feeling of burning sunburn but I don’t have a sunburn. This was all across my chest and back and for days .It also seemed like any pain I had before it made it stronger. Honestly I dont know about the 2nd shot .

I have had intense emotional dreams since shot #1 2 1/2 weeks ago – they are so intense I wake up exhausted. I normally dream here and there but never like this before. And I mean ALL KINDS of dreams (some I don’t want to wake up from!!). But this is really weird. I’m on Cymbalta and Wellbutrin and have been for over 5 years, wondering if there’s a reaction with antidepressants.

More than 3 now i still have burning and tingling. Tingling/burning in toes both feet. Both feet also sweaty and cold than normal.
Burning some parts of thighs.

How long did yours last?

1st Pfizer full week of headaches, exhaustion and stabbing pain behind eye socket. Arm fine.
2nd Pfizer no headaches this time but super sore arm, exhausted and two days after developed an eye twitch in left eye. 2 weeks later eye twitch is still here – has anyone else experienced this? Truly hoping it goes away.

Thank goodness I’ve found this site. Thought it was just me. I’ve never felt so ill. Had the Pfizer vaccine 1st dose end of January. Not too bad at first. Then gradually over the weeks I’ve been having weird symptoms of lower back pain with itching and burning feeling (Parasthesia ), tired and weak legs, lots of strong muscle and joint pains. Calf’s knees, foot bones, Needing to sleep all the time. Then on 5th April had 2nd jab. Ok for couple of days then it hit like a train. All the above mentioned side effects x 10. Worst two weeks of my life. Slightly better today but don’t know yet if I’m properly on the mend. Came across this site by chance and I’m glad I did. I’m relieved to see I’m not alone in this nightmare.

Hey everyone who has pins and needles in hands or legs or twitching in legs after Pfizer vaccine, hows it going. I am day 9 after shot #2 and have had a little pins and needles in the hands and some twitching in the lower legs with a little pins and needles as well. It started 4 or 5 days after the shot and comes and goes. Other than that, I had just a day of sleepiness from both shots. I don’t seem to have the weakness as have been able to run 10 miles on Friday, lift weights on Saturday, and run 6 miles this morning, hoping things only improve and don’t get worse. I am on no medications. Let’s hope we get back to normal soon folks!

I didn’t have Pfizer vaccine. Had the J&J and had the same pins and needles and numbness as many of you describe. Considering it’s a different type of vaccine, I’d like to think it’s just another type of immune response that will pass. I’ve had weird pins and needles all over my entire body since the 2nd day. By the 3rd day my bad knee flared up and my leg below the knee flared up. Day 8, my left hand and arm and left face joined in with my left leg and left foot in the numbing sensation and pins and needles sensation. Blood work and brain MRI came back normal and was diagnosed with an unknown bakers cyst behind left knee. Everything was getting back to normal by day 9 other than the Bakers cyst. Still getting mild numbing sensation…right fingers as I type this on day 9.

i got my 1st s Phizer vaccine on March 31st. 30 min later my lips and teeth felt numb, like getting shot from dentist. numbness disappered within 1-2 hours. in the evening i noticed big lump ( size of egg) on my arm at injection site. it disapered next day replaced by huge bruise, which is still there . i have not get my second shot yet, wondwring if people may have similar experience and what happens after 2nd shot?

hundreds of people post here saying that they had the pin and needle feeling after about 3rd day when they got the vaccine. I am in my 9th day now after got the Pfizer vaccine, and still suffering this pin and needle feeling. And I am now really concerned on whether I will get my second. Almost no one has post that whether their pin and needle feeling eventually goes away? And there is very few public document on this side effect, I think they really need to looked into this side effect and let us know whether this pin and needle feeling will go away. I think there is certain amount of people are suffering from this pin and needle feeling side effect, because it seems last a long time period and we even does not know whether it will go away.

Received my first Pfizer vaccine on Sunday. Sunday night I slept with the windows open (45 degrees outside) and still sweat through the night, waking up from lucid dreams and then my hand went numb…pins and needles like when your limb “falls asleep”. It’s now Monday night and I was awakened with my whole arm (opposite arm from last night) numb or “asleep”. I moved it around thinking I need to get the blood circulating which seems to help the severe numbness/tingling a bit. My hands are also super sweaty/clamy and I have a few bumps or hives on the palm of my hands. I also have ringing in my left ear. This is so NOT COOL but I keep telling myself it could be worse and this is the lesser of the two evils—-the greater evil being actually having COVID. Hope this goes away soon! My second shot is scheduled for 5/9.

On April 17 I got my first Pfizer vaccine in my left arm, the next day i had carpal tunnel pain in my right wrist and fingers, I can’t catch anything. Did anyone have the same?

I got my 2nd Pfizer dose on March 12th. I began noticing the full-body pins and needles sensation a couple of days later. I thought it was my body’s reaction to eating too many salty pretzels so I cut back on salt. I continued to experience the full-body tingling but after a few weeks it started to taper off and as of the date of this post it is only slight and lasts for about 2-3 seconds.

Had 2nd Pfizer in Feb in right arm. Hands seem to tingle, especially the left. Arms seem to fall asleep too easy. Knees and below feel like they have been asleep a little. I assume this is what people are describing as pins and needles. I’m healthy and I’m a little worried. I thought this may just disappear but IDK.

I received my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday in my left arm, it wasn’t bad the site was tender which is expected. Now it’s been about 36 hours and the pain has subsided a bit it’s only sore to touch and some movement but barely noticeable, so I unintentionally laid on my side while in bed for a few minutes and my entire upper arm went completely numb ! I couldn’t sit up or move it for a couple seconds… then when I felt the area I had no feeling in my upper left arm up at all. I couldn’t feel myself touching my arm. The feeling didn’t last long but it concerned me because that has never happened before the shot. Is numbness/ completely lost of feeling a side effect?

I had my 1st Pfeizer shot on April 10. My heart started racing about 15 minutes after the shot. My tongue and mouth got tingly and numb. My lips got swollen a little. It has been 10 days already, and my tongue is still constantly tingling, numb, burning and very painful at times. It is getting worse very day. I also had a red rash and swelling above my lips. It is still red, get swollen from time to time. Initially I was told that I had n allergic reaction, but now I am told that it is an adverse reaction. No one knows what exactly in the vaccine cased this, how long it is going to last, and whether it is ever going to go away. I am getting desperate here. My quality if life decreased significantly these past 10 days. Anyone else have these or similar issues with their tongue?

I have had the most severe pain in my jaw radiating to my ears, neck, throat and teeth. I’m now 4 weeks since my second vaccine and the pain is so debilitating despite being on high dosage of painkillers. I’ve been in a&e and been to my doctors 5 times and feel like no one is listening the pain is that excruciating. Asked to get referred to neurology and for bloods/mri to get done to be told they would consider this for two months! I’ve went from being young, fit and healthy to not being able to exercise, sleep and can barely function working from home and in wondering if this pain will ever leave me!! Has anyone had similar symptoms? I’m probably about 10 weeks since initial pain started

Burning sensation pretty much gone in thighs and legs about 4-5 weeks.

Whats left is tingling in toes and part of soles near the toes. When feet touches something stay in touch it feels like its hurting like soreness?

Like when you have been standing for long time.

Hi everyone 🙂 I posted up above after I had my first shot of Pfizer- 45 mins post shot had pins and needles feeling/extreme itchiness on both arms. Wanted to do a follow up after my second shot.

Full experience so far:
3/27- first shot of Pfizer in my left arm. 45 mins post shot I had sharp pin pricks in my ring finger of my right hand. Over the next 4 hours, both arms, shoulders to fingers had that pins and needles/tingling sensation as well as extreme itchiness. Arms were sensitive to heat and heat intensified the feeling. I went to the ER but they said I didn’t present the pattern for neurological diseases like guillain barre or transverse myelitis. They sent me home. The intensity lasted about a week and then became much less. Some days I barely noticed it, other days were worse. I agonized over getting the second shot. After a lot of back and forth, I decided to get the shot.

4/18- had the second shot and took ibuprofen and a Zyrtec right after. Note: I am not a doctor, nor am I advocating for people to use the same medication I am/did. This is merely to tell you about my experience. Consult your doctor about any medication you’d like to take. About 6 hours after the second shot, I had a little bit of sensation changes – The majority of the tingling went to my thumb and index fingers, as well as on the top of my hand. It was also more of an mild ache like when you slightly bump your funny bone than the surface tingling/prickling before. That subsided after 24 hours. Now it’s a very mild tingling. 36 hours post second shot I did develop a lot of sinus pressure and pressure in my ears (it felt like I was in an air plane) and very very slight tinnitus. It’s allergy season here so it could be that and completely unrelated to the shot. I took/have been talking what I usually take for bad allergies- ibuprofen, Sudafed, Flonase, and Zyrtec. That has helped the pressure and the ringing. Again, not recommending you take this. Talk to your doctor about any medications you want to take- especially combinations.

I would say my reaction to the first shot was worse than the second shot. Overall, I’m happy I went ahead with the second shot. I will update if anything changes 🙂

I am having the same side effects, and so happy to finally learn of others experiencing this. I received my first dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine on April 8th. Within a few hours my arm became sore. Then about 24 hours later, I broke out with hives on my chest, and then starting experiencing the weird pins and needle sensation. I have never experienced this before in my life. It is now April 22nd and I am still experiencing this pricking sensation in my extremities. It may go away for a few days, then it come right back. I am due to get the second dose on May 6th and am extremely afraid to do so. Any ideas if this goes away, or how to stop it?

I had the Pfizer jab last Friday 16 April, after 11 minutes of feeling normal came over dizzy/lightheaded and developed left sided dull headache and for a couple of minutes my tongue felt weird and spongey, like when you eat chillies but without the burning. I drank water, tried to breathe through nose to calm but dizziness and headache persisted so eventually alerted staff 40 mins after the jab . I was sent by ambulance to hospital. Dizziness improved but at hospital my hands went pink like bad sunburn and then were quickly normal again, dull headache persisted a few hrs but was discharged after obs. That night woke up dizzy and my left hand dead and next day had no energy and foggy brain but otherwise am since ok. I am 39, have Hashimotos. I am now very scared to get 2nd jab but need to travel a lot for my work. Will see an allergist next week. Has anyone else experienced similar? Want to believe its just syncope or anxiety as want to be vaccinated fully but scared to have a worse reaction next time. I have minor allergies history otherwise to codeine, pineapple, hair dye once, some cleaning products causing eczema. The worst I have experienced is skin rashes, flushing for hair dye or swelling of uvula in throat. If anyone had similar experience first time, pls comment if you went for second jab.

I had the Pfizer dose jan4/21 within 24 hours I had inflammation on my spine and knee pain which ultimately led to a baker cyst in my right knee, one of the side affects listed is a complete joint breakdown which I think would classify as. Second shot on jan25/21 and same, within 24 hours I got left knee pain thru ultrasound I was diagnosed with a left baker cyst. It is now April and I can finally find my knee cap. I just found this site now, and that you can call telehealth and tell them your symptoms. But for the first two months I suffered in silence doctors told me it wasn’t the vaccine but how did I wake up one morning with only what I can explain as sever arthritis like pain

I had my first jab of Pfizer vaccine on April 12th. After few hours I felt a bit tired and had mild sweating and frequent urination. After two days I started having muscle weakness and generally not feeling well. It was like that for next seven days, it got better but the muscle weakness and some tingling in my body still persist even two weeks (as of today) after the first vaccine. It is mostly the worst in the mornings and it last for 5-6 hours a day. It is usually better at night after 7-8pm when I feel ok. That tingling and kind of weakness is still there and I will contact my doctor in Monday. Hopefully this will not last too long but what I see from other people it could last for months. I have scheduled my second vaccine on April 30th and not sure if I should get it. Will post updates every few days. I am hoping everyone here will finally get completely better.

What are brain zaps??????

I too am experiencing very bad Jaw pain at the joint of my jaw and the muscles and ligaments that connect the jaw. One week and one day from my first Pfizer vaccine dose, I took a nap and then woke up with severe jaw pain. I haven’t been able to eat solid food for two days now as I cannot touch my molars together; it causes extreme pan to try it. I can touch my incisor teeth a little but that’s it. Did Zoom Dr. appointment and was prescribed muscle relaxers, amitriptyline, and a steroid tapper pack. I was not able to sleep well the first 24 hours of the onset but the steroids and amitriptyline helped me sleep last night. I still can’t touch my molars together and it hurts really bad when I try but at least the severe ache is gone. Hope this helps. I have not received my second shot yet but I don’t think this will deter me from it unless it doesn’t go away before my next shot is due.

Had the first shot over three weeks ago. Had second one 48 hours ago in the afternoon. Here’s what happened:

0-24 hours – no sides effects.
32 hours – heavy chills in bed.
40 hours – very bad headache on top of my head.
48 hours – feel “wrung out” but no more chills or headache. Feel ok. Not sick at all. Hope the worst is over. I think it is.

I received first pfizer dose and have been experiencing pins and needles in both hands and one foot. So far this has been going on for 30 days. Doctor believes my pins and needles are a a side effect from the vaccine, he says it’s a waiting game and there is no treatment for me at this time. Posting for everyone who have asked if and when pins and needles go away. I assume it will be different for everyone, however in regards to my experience over time episodes do seem to be less frequent with shorter duration. Unfortunately after 30 days they are still with me. The doctor says at this point he doesn’t have enough information on the vaccine and referred me to public health.

Has anyone gone to get their 2nd vaccine after all these side effects and was it a better experience than the 1st one . I have my 2nd one coming up and I just don’t know .

I received the J & J vaccine 3 weeks ago. Overall I was relatively fine after it except a light headache and a weird cold vein sensation almost immediately after the shot. 2-3 days after I started noticing at my feet/toes & hands a new sensation “pins & needles”. Three weeks after the localized pins & needles are less intense and the feeling is more of an overall more spreaded type of numbness (but not really numb), as if the pins and needles are spread out more but it is much less intense. I have shared the info with my primary care doctor, a cardiologist and a neurologist with no real input so far. I really hope this sensation goes away and no further side effect. If anyone has more info about it, please let me know. Thanks & wish you all to be back yourselves soon!

I got the 2nd BioNTech jab and started having a tingling sensation the night after in my left thigh (same side of the injection). My GP doctor said that is not a thing reported as common side effect symptoms and referred mt to a neurologist. Will see what the neurologist find out next week. Will keep you all posted.

I had my second Pfizer shot on April 25th. 3 days later the right side of head, jaw, ear and throat hurts as it would if I have an ear infection. Has anyone else experienced this as a side effect?

I had the Ist Pfizer vaccine with no issues, but after the second vaccine that I received on 4/29/21, was concerning with in 10m in I experienced a dull headache and half hour later, then started experiencing tingling sensation of my lips, that lasted for about an hour and went away, I have been okay since, thank God.

Tingling for me as well. It started 2 weeks after the vaccine. It feels like drops of water falling randomly on my skin everywhere. seems to come in waves. Some days are better than others. I have an existing neurological illness so i thought it was that, and went to the ER. Passed all of my neurological tests just fine. Having an MRI Thursday anyway to check for any damage. After reading this thread i’m almost certain the vaccine triggered something.

I got my first Pfizer shot on 3/27/21, and my second on 4/17/21 (date of this post 5/4/21). I had some symptoms after the first shot. I mostly felt fatigue, jitteriness, muscle pain, and lethargy. After the second dose, I had a low grade fever which subsided after a few days, but the fatigue, lethargy, muscle pain, and “brain fog” have intensified. I have also been experiencing frequent chills/sweats, insomnia, heart pounding, and EXTREME anxiety. Both injection sites, while not red or raised, have not yet healed which I thought was odd. I am severely immunocompromised and medication sensitive. I usually experience some side effects with vaccines/medications, but not to this degree. I don’t know if going to a doctor would yield any result other than being told that “Not all side effects are known yet.” I am hoping these effects will subside with time, as they are quite disruptive to my daily life.

Received one dose of Pfizer on March 11th. Experienced brain zaps, headaches, tingling in arms and feet. Inflammation in chest, doctor said costochondritis, inflammation in the esophagus shortness of breath. Got treated for heartburn. Palpitation first few days after the shot. Costochondritis still present, 8 weeks later. Changed my diet to healthier anti-inflammatory foods. Still experience pain in middle of chest. Still some tingling and numbness in arms. One doctor said not vaccine related, the other said it is, but says symptoms subside over time. I opted out of the 2nd.

Anyone else experience costochondritis chest after the shot?

Has anyone experiencing “brain zaps” after 1 Pfizer dose gotten the 2nd? Did they go away?

Started very light pin and needles on the non vaccinated arm about 4h after 1st Moderna shot. At night, the feeling was also on my head and cheeks. It then moved to my feets and back. Brainfog and migraine on day 2. Day 7, started a rash on vaccinated arm. Day 10, still pin and needles, mostly top of feet and on the back. It s very slight like the skin is burning. My GP advises taking vit B as it helps nerves tissues. Drink lots of water and try not too stress too much. Which is very hard. I am concerned taking jab 2 as I don’t want for these symptomes to get worst. I hope they subside soon.

I’ve just had my second does of the Pfizer vaccine. First day my arm was a little tender. Had a headache and took paracetamol. A little fatigued and tired. Last night I had the worst nightmares. So vivid! Woke my partner up. When I went back to sleep I had another vivid nightmare. I can remember them both in so much detail!
Otherwise I feel fine.

I’m a 37 year old Black British African. Please do get the vaccine if you can. The danger of getting covid and dying outweighs the side effects.

I’ve been lucky .I had a headache after the first jab apart from that bern fine ,my mum my husband ,husband mum, my friends nothing at all. What I would say anyone reading this site to see if they want it your only going to find people who have had reactions posting, people who didn’t won’t feel the need. So ask people you know you will get more varied opinions . I know 5 people who have died from covid do if I got reactions it would still be worth it. I am severely epileptic seizure daily and am always shaky so I understand people’s frustrations, it will improve for you and you will be safer

shot #2 on Friday. Sore arm. Couldn’t sleep due to over-active imagination, finally dozed off after 3 AM Saturday morning. Woke up @ 8 am with constant tingling in both sets of fingers. Continued about my weekend, thinking it would just pass. Woke up this morning, left hand is now tingling and painful, right hand has the tingling, but not as intense. Contacted Family Doc and they did a quick blood clot question list and then said they had not heard of this as a side effect, but if not better in morning, call them and they want me to come in. Pain relievers do nothing. I keep smiling on the outside, but, the thought of this lasting more than a few days is frightening.
I still would get the vaccine to protect others from me.

Got 1st Pfizer dose yesterday, May 12, 2021. 5 min after, developed numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. That is still with me today. I hope it goes away … very annoying. I’m 41, female, in excellent health.

I got my Pfizer vaccine on May 11, 2021 at 2:00 PM. I only experienced a sore and tight left arm in the area I got the needle. However, at approximately 5 or 6 PM on May 12, 2021, my left arm felt like it is asleep. It is not as severe of a feeling like sleeping on my arm, but it does feel a bit weaker, numb, tingly (pins and needles), and a mild static-like feeling . I am only 18 and being a hard overthinker I like to make situations much worse by thinking I am having a stroke or a heart attack.

3 months after 2nd pfizer vaccine suddenly I had left side body mild numbness including my left face.. I went to ER CT,MRI and blood work came normal.. They diagnosed me as TIA. After that the numbness become migratory avery where on and off upper,lower.Rt and left mild tingling sensation.
I still have these symptoms for 6 weeks on and off!?
Any body feel the same things?

Started experiencing tingling on right thigh (opposite to vaccine side) about 3 days after 1st dose. Sometimes it feels like a crawling sensation and sometimes its like water dripping. Has been going on for almost 3 weeks now. Some days it’s better and some days it’s back. Also, have some occasional muscle twitches mostly in thighs. Has anyone with this seen it resolve?

Had my 2d Pfizer dose on 4/22. in the left arm. My left neck lymphnode got tender and swollen for few days. Few days later had a headache and felt congested. Then I was fine for several weeks. Then on 5/9 I woke up with a headache and felt my lymphnodes in my neck and jaw somewhat swollen. I started feeling lots of pins and needles in my left hand and weakness in my legs. Felt some los sof balance when walking. The hand numbness and tingling lasted for 4-5 days. I slept 4 hrs last night. This morning I had rapid hearbeat 90 bpm while not doing anything. My blood pressure fluctuated from 132/82 to 109/78. Today the left hand tingling is greatly reduced, maybe a little in my pinkie. But I still feel weakness in my legs and somewhat off balance. Anybody else had such a delayed response ?

Has anyone had ongoing issues with the tingling/numbness in their hands??? I’ve been having weakness and some numbness in them since I got the vaccine 2 days ago, especially on the opposite hand/arm to the one I had the vaccine in. It’s particularly bad at night where I wake up with a dead arm and unable to even type on my phone.

Noticed a lot of people have posted similar but there haven’t been any updates on whether it’s stuck around or resolved

May 7 – Pfizer first shot in left arm
May 11 – tingling / pins and needle started in right hand and leg
May 12 – tingling extended to left side and face
May 13 – visited family doctor, blood work conducted

Will keep you all posted…good luck!

2nd Pfizer vaccine on April 6 had side effects.

Day 2 sore arm
Day 3-30 – Elbow and Shoulder Joints sore, stiff, pins and needle effect
Day 7-35 – Lost feelings in same arm fingers and thumb, numbness effect loss of nerve response.

Reported to GP and CDC website, no response. Very scary side effects with numbing

Exactly same symptoms….
This is my email if there any updates regarding these symptoms

I had my 2nd Pfizer shot on May 12 at 5pm and then biked 40 miles the next day. Felt unusually fatigued at 2hrs but just sucked it up and cranked the next 1/2 hr to finish, as I had no choice.

Yesterday I had my 2nd dose of the Pfizer covid jab and today I don’t feel too cracking.

Just had a nap a woke feeling yuk!

I’ve just read some symptoms other people have had after having the Pfizer jab and they’re the same/similar as what I’m having so thats reassuring in a way…

Ive a red went at the injection site which feels slightly hot.

I’ve got a headache, and my eyes feel swollen and they hurt and so do my cheeks. They feel like they’re tingling, and ache like when you’ve been smiling too much.

I feel a bit itchy, but that’s normal for me…allergies!

I feel a little nauseous but haven’t actually been sick and I’m a little dizzy and it feels like my body is shaking on the inside.

My arms feel sore and like dead weights and my elbows, wrists, hands and fingers joints have a painful ache which sometimes zaps down my whole arm right to my fingertips. It’s a bit like the pain you feel when you have carpel tunnel pain, which o know all too well having had surgery for it a few years ago.

Other than that I’m okay, hoping the side effects wear off over the weekend. I’d cross my fingers if they didn’t feel so sore!

I’m not complaining, super grateful to been able to have the vaccine. I’m just sharing in case anyone out there feels the same.

Thanks for sharing everyone. Please remember to post your reactions on the government’s vaccine reaction website–it helps with research! https://vaers.hhs.gov

I’m very fortunate. I got my 2nd pfizer vaccine Friday 5/14, and 3 days later the only side effect was arm pain (same as the 1st for me). I prepared for flu-like symptoms, but it appears that’s only an issue for 11% of vaccine recipients.

For context, I’m a generally healthy, though out-of-shape 43-year-old woman (5’6, 160 lbs), no covid risk factors, vegetarian, & don’t really drink. I made sure I was hydrated, and had lots of fruits and veggies to ensure I had lots of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. I also took iron even though it really only supports red blood cell production. Who knows if any of that helped or it was just good fortune?

Had my first pfizer on 11th of may in right arm and within seconds felt intense pins and needles in sole of left foot which spread after one minute to my left lower leg and then sever burning sensation in dorsum of left foot. It then spread to my left thigh. It has been constant since 1st dode of the vaccine and worse at night, i also felt slight numbness in the left side of my face twice 3 days ago, i am freaking out and this pins and needles is annoying especially knowing it could be nerve related, i will get bloods done and take it from there, i dont think i will go for a 2nd shot

Pfizer vaccine – I am 6 weeks out and continue to be winded and heart racing and fatigue easily just doing work around the house.
1st day after 2nd shot- woke with excrutiating headache that got worse over time, by 10 am I was passed out till about 5 pm.- when I woke up momentarily several times during day, head in excruciating pain, itchy, pins and needles in hands and arms, nauseous. Took a tylenol and drank 4 oz of water which stayed down. 7:30 pm took two bites of food and super nauseous again. Slept till next day. I was very weak , heart pounding inside chest, nausea, fatigue. Hives on head and upper legs, loss of breath quickly. my eyes got slow, they had to catch up to my wanting to look somewhere. brain slow. nauseous all the time. Slowly getting better and better 6 weeks later….

I don’t know why my comment was deleted which i left 6 hours ago, so i had first dose of pfizer vaccine on 11th of may in my right arm and immediately had pins and needles in my left leg worsening over few minutes and felt left leg was heavy, unfortunately the pins and needles have persisted which is almost a week now, also twice i had tingling in left side of my face. Now my right leg has started with pins and needles. Today a red painful lump just appeared in my left thigh, i dont fancy getting a 2nd shop. I will check my bloods soon and take it from there

Hey is anyone able to provide an update on whether the pins and needles have got better?

I am 8 weeks out after my first dose, and posted earlier about pins and needles. Over the past couple weeks, pins and needles have reduced but have developed muscle twitch in random parts of the body. Heart rate seems to be 95-100 all the time and always feeling tired/fatigued. Anybody with similar symptoms ever tested D-Dimer? this is the only thing that is slightly elevated but not severe for blood clot, not sure if others are seeing the same. Other blood work all is normal. But for people asking about pins and needles, it does seem to lower its intensity over time.

I just received my first Moderna shot yesterday. Immediately my arm felt like it was burning and hot Immediately to the touch. Within 15 mins I was having brain Zaps and I still am 24hrs later. And feel like crap

I have had my 1st Phizer dose a week ago. It started with face and leg numbness..Then pins and needles , crawling sensations and a stinging sensation all over my body and veins, along with severe body aches that make me feel exhausted as I have been running a marathon. My body feels heavy. I am terrified and this has caused my anxiety to flare up. Everyone who has had their first dose is fully okay and happy. I am crying all day because I do not know what to expect and if I will ever go back to normal again. I am seeing a neurologist tomorrow. My pathologist said that I am just unlucky and my body reacted bad to the vaccine. Please someone tell me that this gets better. I am scared.

Hey Nina, its hard to say, it seems to be up and down, but i will definitely let everyone know if it stops, any one got bruising, i seem to be getting it bit by bit which is more reason i need that blood check, also the back of my legs feel rock hard, funny

yes, I didnt have any today… but last night they kept me up starting at 2 AM.. I hope they dont come back tonite.. need some deep sleep

The 3rd & 4th day after getting my 2nd dose of Pfizer, I started sneezing- A LOT. I have seasonal allergies & the type of sneeze is similar to that. It doesn’t feel like the normal “cold virus sneeze” which for myself, is always accompanied by a sore throat & is a painful kind of sneeze-but more like an “allergy sneeze” followed by runny nose usually due to some irritant causing my nasal passages to itch.

I had lower back aches which were moderate on the 1st day & are gradually subsiding (today is the 5th day since my 2nd dose).

Ibuprofen, Organic MSM sulfur crystals (a supplement I take daily), a foam roller (for post-exercise muscle tension), & staying hydrated have been key to helping alleviate some of these side effects for myself.

I had my first Pfizer dose on Mar 29 and second on April 19th. Sore arm for a few days with the first does, second dose was so much worse! Couldn’t even touch my arm or move it without pain. And Sooooo very tired after the second dose….about 5 hours later it hit me. Took about 4 or 5 days to feel right again….just felt weird, spacey, not focused, very frustrated and angry a lot because my brain was going so slow! But I didn’t connect the nightmare’s to the vaccine until I started reading the comments. Oh so awful, someone trying to kill me, screaming so bad I woke my husband…scared the heck out of him when he couldn’t wake me at first…I just kept getting more agitated. Never had such nightmares before, hope they don’t come back . But, I guess it’s all better than actually getting Covid. Thankful I only had the two nightmares, none since then. But still feeling some fatigue most days, like I don’t have the same energy, and I’ve always been a “get up early and get going” type.

I had the Pfizer shot May 13th,10:30am and by May 14th, 6pm I had developed a severe UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). I was put on sulfer antibiotics and it sort off cleared up. The pain is gone but it still feels like a burning sensation. My husband checked the internet and there are women & men having this problem. I was told it’s a less common side effect but a side effect none the less. My arm wasn’t too bad. I exercised it with circular movements right after the shot and through most of the day.

Healthy, woman, 27yo, pfizer 1dose on may 15: my arm was barely hurting and I got no symptoms at all.

Same for most of my friends.

Keep calm and go on with the vaccination.

I’m a 51 year old female. Healthy weight. I had my 1st Pfizer vaccine on April 12th. Exactly one week after the shot I experienced a random without any warning excruciating electrical shock on my outer left ankle followed by 2 more that left me nauseated and on the floor. I consider myself to have a pretty high pain tolerance and these shocks were at a level 10! I’ve never injured my ankle nor sprained it. A whole week passed and I never had another episode until I did and continued to have on a daily basis. I couldn’t explain what was happening and everyone told me it was not vaccine related until I received my 2nd shot on May 3rd. That evening I ended up in the ER due to multiple severe electrical shocks deep inside my ankle. Xray of my foot showed nothing. Was told to take NSAIDS. I started a heavy daily does of Advil with no relief then Aleve for a few days, also no relief. I continued to experience all over body twitching, nerves in all of my limbs on fire with burning electrical shocks in my shins, arms and feet. I ended up going to a neurologist who ran blood work and performed an EMG. Other than a couple of markers in my bloodwork showing mild inflammation in my body everything showed relatively normal. No signs of neuropathy, RA, MS or blocked nerves. I am nearly 3 weeks out from my 2nd Pfizer vaccine and I’m still experiencing lower limb shocks and random body zaps which can be very debilitating at times especially because they happen without warning. I was prescribed Gabapentin which is an anti seizure medication to help me sleep at night when the flare ups are at their worst. I lived a pain free life before I had my vaccines, I’m regretful of having had the 2nd one since I clearly showed signs of a reaction after my 1st shot. I am praying that my symptoms go away, my quality of life has changed dramatically in the last month and a half.

I received my first shot of Pfizer on 4/27 a couple days after I had some coughing and sneezing. 3 days after my shot is when the numbing pins and needs began on the side where my shot was injected. It lasted for a full week. After the pins and needles subsided I began to have a clogged ear on the side where my shot was administered. This feeling felt like sinus pressure. I treated it with sweet oil and ear drops. Because of these side effects I did not continue on with my second shot on 5/18. Its is now almost 30 days later and the tingling in my left foot has returned. My blood sugar and b12 was tested and came back fine. I think it’s just an abnormal side effect…. I hope it goes a way completely. Its not too bad… just annoying really.

I received my first shot on 3/19/21 and my second 4/9/21 mild issues same as flu shot no fever though. However as of today may 22, 2021 I have all day random pin pricks and random skin burning just for seconds in my upper back nothing on the skin but it sure is uncomfortable specially the needle pricks all over my lower body.. anyone else having.

TL;DR: experienced severe numbness, pins and needles feeling, and anxiety 9 days after my 1st jab. 39 days later most symptoms have subsided! Please read my full experience below.

Hi everyone, wanted to take some time to post about my experience with the Pfizer vaccine in hopes that it helps calm some worries.

I received my 1st dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Thurs (4/15) and within 10 minutes started experiencing a rapid heartbeat, sweating, and dizziness/lightheadedness. Fortunately I recognized I was about to lose consciousness (vasovagal syncope) and was able to notify one of the site helpers before blacking out. I was awoken about 7 seconds later by a nurse on site and had my vitals taken – everything normal. I was given some water and cookies and was asked to lie down for additional 30 minutes to monitor my symptoms. After 30 minutes my vitals were taken again and everything was fine so I was allowed to go home.

Within the hour I had already started to feel super tired and had a headache (which I never get) so I decided to lie down to rest. After a couple of hours I started sweating and experiencing shooting muscle pain on my legs, which made it hard to sleep that night. For the next two days I just felt tired and a general un-wellness feeling, which I just slept off for the majority of the weekend. By Sunday (day 3), I was pretty much back to normal.

6 days later (9 days after the jab), I was woken up to completely numb arms and legs. I immediately started to panic because it takes a lot to wake me up and to be woken up by numbness and a tingling sensation/pain was quite alarming. My anxiety was also skyrocketing at this point, which only made the symptoms feel worse. After I was able to calm myself, I had a video chat with a nurse practitioner and explained my symptoms and what I was experiencing. Thankfully the NP didn’t seem too concerned and said the symptoms didn’t match a blood clot, which is what I was most concerned about. She advised I continue to monitor the symptoms and visit the ER if I started to experience a drastic temperature change or severe weakness or pain in my arms or legs.

To explain the symptoms more, my arms and legs would go completely numb when lying down and I would just feel pins and needles all over with mild pain. As you could expect, this made it extremely hard to sleep and had me severely anxious. These symptoms persisted throughout the week until I finally decided to see my PCP the Monday (5/3) before my 2nd jab and 9 days after I first started experiencing the symptoms. This was also 18 days after my first jab. I told my PCP my concerns and asked if I should skip the 2nd dose, which I was scheduled to receive on 5/6. He advised me not to skip it but ordered blood work in the meantime. After much back and forth with myself, I decide to go through with the 2nd jab.

First night I only experienced a mild headache and whole-body pain, which felt more like general soreness from after a gym workout than actual pain. No symptoms of numbness or the pins and needles feeling I had been feeling up until then. This lasted for about 4 days and by Monday I felt way better than I had in so long! My anxiety was also gone. Unfortunately on Wednesday the pins and needles feeling returned but was more mild than the first time. I also received my lab results later that day, which came back normal. I explained to my PCP that I had been feeling completely back to normal for the past two days until that day when the symptoms returned. He then prescribed me two vitamin B12 shots and to start taking a daily B12 supplement of 1000 mcg. While my vitamin B12 levels weren’t super low (306), he said the level could have something to do with why my nervous system was acting up. For reference, the vitamin B12 range is between 230 and 1050 pg/mL.

As of today (5/24), the numbness and tingling has almost completely subsided. Some days I don’t experience it all and other days I will feel it very mildly while lying down. It’s not widespread (usually only my feet or random part of my leg or arm) and generally doesn’t bother me too much or cause me to worry. For the timeline, it’s been 39 days since my first jab, 30 days since I first started experiencing the symptoms, and 18 days since my 2nd jab. I’ve also received two B12 shots, a week apart, and have been taking a daily a B12 supplement for 13 days now.

I know this is a lot to read but I wanted to share my full experience in detail to ensure others that the symptoms will subside! I went through a rough month with a lot of anxiety and finding this thread definitely helped ease my mind to know others were experiencing the same thing. While I’m not yet 100%, I’m almost there and hope everyone feels better reading this and makes a full recovery soon!

Hi Paul, thank you for sharing your story. I actually had started taking vitamin B complex as I found out my symptoms, esp. pins and needles are pretty much like ones from alcoholic neuropathy, which can be caused by lack of Bs (and E as well). However, this wasn’t advised or prescribed by my doctor, but only from own judgement, while I saw a neurologist twice in the past month, who was still in a wait-and-see mode. Which specialist prescribed B12 for you? Neurologist or other specialists? Thanks

Wow Paul. THANK you so much for taking the time to explain to us. It is a great positive experience and giving us hope. For sure. Thank you 🙂

When I took the 1st Pfizer dose in January, I developed tongue and lip tingling which immediately resolved. A few days later, one leg bacame completely numb. I also had toe and finger tingling sensations. The leg numbness went away the next day and the tingling resolved 2 weeks later. After that, I felt intermittent numbness inside of my head. The head numbness finally resolved a few weeks ago. My PCP and allergist both advised me not to take the 2nd dose for now since there is so much that is still unknown about the vaccine. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one having vaccine related neurological symptoms.

Had my first Pfizer yesterday (in 40-49 group), and I have had the craziest dreams I have ever had (that is saying a lot as I recall many dreams a night normally). Glad to know I am not the only one and is related to vaccine and how it works. I also have chills – like I thought it was freezing and I was shaking and then all of sudden I am hot and sweaty. Still much better than getting Covid or the AZ

First off… thank you all so much for sharing your experiences, it is truly appreciated and helpful!

I received my first Pfizer shot on April 17 and I have elected not to get second. This was not an easy decision considering I have issues that could make me a higher risk for covid. That being said, I’ve had a hard time since the first vaccine.

It all started about an hour after I received it… nauseous, headaches, chest pains, racing heartbeat, and the pins and needles in my limbs many are describing. Few days later more symptoms came on… dizziness, a weird internal shaky feeling like tremors, and GERD. It is now 5 weeks to the day and not much has changed, and to be honest it’s quite frightening. The pins and needles (which I believe may be a form of neuropathy since it includes pains and faint itchiness) was subsiding slightly a week or two ago, has actually gotten worse lately migrating to other areas including my face and I just feel really unwell.

I did contact my doctor, but unfortunately they have no answers and tell me to either wait it out or go to the ER. I will try alpha-lipoic acid supplements like someone else mentioned to see if that helps. I truly hope all of our side effects get reported because this needs to be known.

I wish everyone well, and hopefully we all come out of this happy and healthy. I am grateful for the support.

I received my first shot 30th April in my upper left arm and for the next two weeks experienced slight numbness/heat/pressure in the sides of my head at the temples.
During the first two weeks infrequent sharp pangs of pain like a simultaneous area of needles were felt in my left armpit and at times in my left arm and at one point in my lower left back. For the initial days after the shot I had tightness around my left armpit.

This is now a month later and everything is fine apart from the slight numbness at my right temple.
Still waiting for second dose.

So glad to hear I am not the only one with strong side effects. I (female, 55) had my 1st dose (Moderna) on May 8. 4 days later I started to develop strong numbness along with sensation of pins and needles on the entire left side of my body, leg, arm (still hurts, can’t type well at all), face. On day 10 developed dizziness, fog head, anxiety. Symptoms persist, one day better, then worse again. Never had any reactions to vaccinations so far. This is really weird and somehow scares me. Will not have 2nd dose at this point. My neurologist thinks my immune response is good enough after 1st jab. Thank you for posting your stories here, it helps a lot.

Got my 1st Pfizer shot 5 days ago. Pins/needles/crawling feeling in feet, legs, hands, face since. I notice most when resting. Please…could people who have had this and it has resolved tell us about it. It will be very reassuring for many of us, especially those with anxiety. Also, everyone needs to report this here: https://vaers.hhs.gov/ because it is not known as a side effect but from reading this comment section it is common. It needs to be recognized so it can be investigated.

Hi Kim.
I had the same. It took 3 weeks to get better. I am now on week 5 and still feel tiny bit.
It s a very scary effect. I had panic attacks for 3 weeks.
I have 2 neurologists following me as I am a Belgian living in London.
I had Guillain Barre Sybdrome 5 years ago and my feelings after Moderna were similar but not as bad. GBS usually gives you issues to walk. If any issue to walk arise, go straight to ER. Otherwise, try to relax.
My UK neurologist told me to get 2nd dose and my Belgian neurologist told me not to.
I will get a third opinion and make some research as so many things are unclear. This side effect should definitively be reported as it would be less stressing to know about it. However, I fear governments are unlikely to because it is a scary side effect… Good luck. PS: vit 12 can help but be careful not to drink any alcohol and no vit B6 as these can be bad for nerves.

Hi there

I’d like to share my experience as well hoping to help ease the worry for ppl going through the worst time of these side effects. I had my first shot of Pfizer on 25th Apr and felt burning sensation in my feet hours after. Next day found it difficult to move my left side of the body, struggling to bend my fingers. Third day i could my feet and fingers can move more easily but extremely tired. A week after I developed pin and needle sensations in fingers and feet. Prickly in random parts of the body. Nightmares started to overwhelm me all night and sometimes it was simply insomnia and awake whole night even though I was physically exhausted. During day time I felt very depressed, extremely fatigued and couldn’t Focus on anything. Third week I went to hospital to get various blood tests and CT scan- all fine. Started monitoring heart beats and they fluctuated quite a bit. Nightmares and pin/needle feelings continued into the 5th week and then eased a bit. I tried to do a little bit of exercise then the numbness in feet and fingers intensified. It is now the 6th week and I can say sleep quality has improved with less weird dreams. Pin and needle feeling got reduced.I feel my life is gradually coming back to normal. Occasional muscle weakness. Not taken second shot yet . Plan to see neurologist later this week.

I am not new to this pins and needles issue. Some 15 years back i had this horrible pins and needles sensation then it was found my body was not absorbing B12. Caffene seemed to worsen it. SO i thought i would have to give up coffee for life. But with consistent high intensity interval training i managed to beat that. Some 7 years back i had a headache again. Severe headache. I noticed pins and needles. I started developing migraine. Over a period exercise put me back on track. I probably had mini strokes as well. I was all fine until i received Pfizer shot. After first shot it triggered my dormant migraine. Dizziness, headache all came back. After second shot i did not have much symptom. But after 2nd or 3rd week damn ‘pins and needles’ struck again. Having attacked by pins and needles i can make some suggestions to manage. Advil can help some what. But hydrotherapy is something you can try. Basically you have to wash (feet or hands) alternatively with hot water and cold water. It will provide relief. Water is another thing. Movement is essential. Don’t sit idle. Keep moving around. Most important thing is DIET. Some foods can trigger this sensation very badly. So no deep fried item, no processed food, no excessive salt. You can gradually return to normal.

Hi there I want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences, because this has helped me a ton. I want to report that I had my Pfizer vaccine 8 days ago:

Day 1: 6 hours after vaccine- arm was SORE! could not flap my “wings” or make big movements. Feet felt extremely cold from the inside, but on the outside if I were to touch them, they were close to a normal temperature to the touch.
Day 2: woke up to numb legs from knee to the feet.
Day 3: Numb legs, perpetual tingling in my legs now from upper thigh to feet.
Day 4: Perpetual tingling remains, very uncomfortable, but not painful. I just do not like it because I’ve never had legs that have felt like they were “asleep” 24/7! It remains the exact same tingling sensation all day. Not better, not worse. Just the awful, non-normal feeling of legs that have fallen asleep. Took a Tylenol today- did not help the tingling.
Day 5: Numb legs, and perpetual tingling not subsided. Took a baby aspirin today- did not help the tingling.
Day 6: SAME PERPETUAL numbness and tingling. Will this ever go away? I’m reading the blogs on openaccessgovernment.org and it seems like folks have this for FIVE months or longer…. oh my gosh…!! This is only day 6 for me, is this something that I will have to get used to for life? Maybe TMI but my breast is also feeling numb now.
Day 7: Numbness and tingling (pins and needles feeling) has not gone away. It has not subsided one bit. Took 2 benedryl before bed.
Day 8: Today I share my plight on the blog. My numbness has not gone away from the Benedryl and it’s now been a good 9 hours of sleep. Not sure what is happening but I have perpetual tingling in my legs still from upper thigh to the feet. I walked up and down the hill in front of my house today, and it takes me double the time now because of how uncomfortable it is. I hope this goes away soon.

If anyone here has had their numbness and pins and needles feeling go away, please let us know how long it has taken! I will be okay as long as I know there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Thank you SO much everybody for writing , seriously this comments section has made me feel like I am not alone, hence I share my story. Thank you.

I mainly felt tired and had a sore arm all day, so was ready for bed, BUT THE DREAMS. One just felt mundane but very real, but the second was awful. I slipped into water and got pulled into machinery and knew I couldn’t swim away, so had to make the decision to give up and I felt my own death happen. I was so relieved to wake up!

Update: it’s been 11 days since Pfizer jab #1. After much research, I may have mast cell activation syndrome. Those with paresthesia may want to look into this. I started on a low histamine plan 2 days ago and my paresthesia has decreased a lot. Unfortunately, I have woken up the last 3 mornings with an adrenal surge that takes several hours to calm down from. Not sure if it’s POTS which others have developed along with possible MCAS after vax. Muscles are weak and I still have muscle pain and mild chest pain. Very fatigued. I’ve found others with the same symptoms who have seen NIH docs that believe the vaccine may have caused nerve damage but that they expect healing to occur in 6-12 months. It may be MCAS with or without POTS and/or nerve damage. I’m posting this to give hope to those who are worried about their paresthesia and to give you at least a pathway to look down. Hope we all heal soon!

I had my first Pfizer shot on May 4th. within 5 mins after receiving the vaccine my tongue went numb and my heart started racing. I was very scared. I just sat there and tried to stay calm and prayed for the lady to come out and check on me but she never did. It lasted about ten minutes, I tried to put out of my mind and left. I got ahold of my doctor and asked about getting the 2nd shot which I was told not to. I never had a problem with the injection site. My only allergies are to yellow flies and some preservative that is in most brand cranberry juice and some fruit wines. I was sick the second day but it was expected and it passed so it tells me the vaccine worked so I feel somewhat protected.

It has been 5 weeks since I had my 2nd Pfizer vaccine. I have been experiencing severe nerve issues in both my lower legs and feet but primarily my left. I’ve had severe muscle spams and twitches along with an electrical shock sensation in my left ankle. The shock comes out of nowhere with a pain level at 10. I am a 51 yr old healthy female with no prior health issues. I’ve been to the ER and also a neurologist for an EMG and blood work. They can’t figure out what’s wrong with me. Other than a mild elevated CRP protein in my heart (which they say could be due to the vaccine) all other labs & test results were fine. They put me on Gabapentin which I only took for a week. I hear it’s addictive. I take chelated magnesium at night which helps a little. I can barely walk 20 feet without leg, ankle and foot pain & muscle weakness. I have been inactive for well over a month. Nights are the worst, leg twitches, muscle spasms and burning shooting sensations mostly in lower limbs and feet but also twitches in the rest of my body. I’m convinced it is vaccine related. I have had no prior injuries or ailments to have caused these reactions. I experienced my first symptoms a week after the 1st vaccine and worse after my 2nd vaccine. I regret the decision. I’ve reported to VAERS. Not sure what else to do. My symptoms have not improved, in fact they have only evolved into other symptoms that I now live with on a daily basis. I pray that this is not permanent, this is no way to live.

Along with the tingling in left hand and foot I also had redness on my face, more intense on the left and the feeling of sunburn. I went to dermatologist and he recommneded Claritin or Allegra. I took Allegra/Fexofenadine generic at night because the tingling was more intense at night. My tingling and face redness have greatly subsided. I still have occasional tingling but it’s much better.
However I did experience eposidoes of dizziness and poor coordination. I am stillbaffled by the myriad of symptoms. Anybodyelse found a solution to the dizziness?

Hi everyone.
After 6 weeks, I still feel a bit of pin abd needles in feet and hands. It was doing better but came back. Feeling it everyday.
Wonder when it will go away. Some people on Mayo clinic also started a chat about Covid vaccines and neuropathies.
Getting a EMG to check nerves damages in 2 weeks.
Certainly not taking 2nd dose until a few months. Too scared.

Hi everyone, thank you for sharing your experiences.

I got the 1st shot (left arm) on April the 27th and 10 minutes after it I felt something on my chest, left side right under the nipple, very mild. I ignored it and went home.
A couple of days after that, that mild something turned into pressure. 5 Days after the shot I started having upper back pain, again in the left side. This time the pain got stronger with the days until I started feeling cramps like 10 times stronger than regular foot cramps. I took some muscle relaxants and went better, no cramps but still very strong pain.
3 Weeks after the shot I started also having pain in my arm, in the armpit and triceps area. I went to the doctor and they checked my heart, it was fine.
4 Weeks after the shot the back pains were still there and the arm pains moved to the elbow area and the extensor muscle. The pain in that area got even stronger than in the back, but luckily no cramps.
5 Weeks after the shot, back and arm pain are still there and on top I got wrist pain but also tingling in the index and thumb.
6 Weeks after I got the second shot.
Yesterday I also started getting fingernail pain on those same fingers.
At this point I thought it was not related to the vaccine but to several months doing home office and bad posture. I had some neck problems in the past.  Since the tingling was still there and I was getting scared I decided to google it and saw here that many of you are having similar symptoms.
I went again to the doctor and he sent me an MRI from the cervical spine. I will have the results next week.

In case this might be important – genetic wise – I have spanish (Europe) background. 

Hi Nancy
Could you please post a link to the Mayo Clinic chat you were talking about. I am having a hard time finding it on their site.
Thank you

I had Pfizer ink on Monday it’s now Saturday and woke up with a hot to touch swollen red ear and a lump below my ear (gland swollen I guess) this is only on the left hand side .. same arm I had jab in..
is this is side effect?

I got my first Pfizer shot on 5/29. Within 3 days I starting Feeling tingling in my lips which then proceeded to my left side of my face on and off throughout the day. 2 weeks in and still feeling it. Next stop the neurologist since the primary doesn’t know of tingling as a side affect.

Has anyone else developed nerve pain in forehead. It only happens in forehead and daily – like a brief 2-3 second electric shock?

Pat

I had my 1st vaccine yesterday, didn’t sleep at all during the night. Felt hungover all day today and have the usual headaches. I suffer chronic TMD so already live in pain around head, neck & jaw area so everything has been exasperated.

Unusually though, I do have increased urination – like I go for a pee and less than an hour later, I need to go again. This has only occured since the vaccine – has anyone else had this as I can’t see it on the symptom list?

Does anyone still have headaches 5 months after vaccine?

Does anyone still have headaches 5 months after vaccine? This has not been posted previously.

My first Pfizer was okay, but the second was horrible. I experienced a lot of side effects. The one that worries me the most is numbness in right leg and foot. The numbness has lasted for 9 days after the 2nd shot and is still not gone. I have a high deductible healthcare plan, so I don’t really want to see a doctor. Does anyone know why the numbness happened? What is the science behind it? When will it go away? Thank you all!

First Pfizer vaccine…..It seems like it activated latent viruses in my body. Starting with an immediate UTI and ongoing cystitis (a week so far), followed by fever, vertigo, migraines, now coldsore. Also worsened insomnia but that’s likely because of the UTI pain & pressure.

The burning/tingling pain in my thumb and index fingers of my left hand have not gone away — it’s been 16 weeks now, but not as bad as when it started. The “shocking” pain radiating from elbow to wrist went away in 14 weeks so that’s a relief. Supposedly it has something to do with the vaccine affecting motor and sensory nerves which causes arm/hand peripheral neuropathy. My doctor ruled out cervical spine nerve damage, instead she said it’s possibly a side effect of the vaccine that could take up to 6 months to go away. Over the last 3 weeks, I’m also experiencing occasional weakness in my left leg and ongoing fatigue in the afternoon. I just hope this goes away and is not a long-term side effect as it is for some who have recovered from covid.

Pfizer 1st Vaccine June 11th, 2021
11Day 1: normal
12Day 2: mild pain on inject site
13Day 3: tired
14Day 4: tired/weird dreams/night sweats
15Day 5:fatigue/ dizzy/ nausea
16Day 6:fatigue/ nausea/ warm/headache/night sweats (feeling dehydrated)
17Day 7: fatigue/ sensitive stomach but feeling much better now that I don’t have any of the past symptoms

Normal systems I always endure after receiving a shot. I still plan to get my second shot. This is a way my body tells me to strengthen up. Walks at the park or even sitting outside under the shade helped me feel better without needing to take medicine. For I am a person with a delinquent immune system. I have fibromyalgia & I am asthmatic to name the least.

I had my vaccine yesterday. Was perfectly fine afterwards but in the evening I started to have arm pain and today I have a stomachache and sore throat. Anyone experienced those symptoms?

Obviously the arm pain continues

What an amazing (and encouraging?) thread. Why doesn’t the CDC or pharmaceutical companies list these widely-attested, possible side-effects on their websites? Because they’re profiteering off this “vaccine” and this vastly over-hyped, manufactured “crisis” (the virus is real, but not the crisis). Sorry, don’t mean to get off into politics here…

I’m 36 years old and only began feeling side-effects after my second Moderna jab. The nurse seemed to hit a nerve or something—my body “jumped” or “startled” when she injected me with the experimental drug. I felt a strong tingling, pins-and-needles in my right arm where I received the injection. That feeling subsided, and I felt totally fine for about 3 days. On day 4, I felt modern fatigue and cold-like symptoms (sore throat, congestion). On day 5, I felt nauseous and I vomited once. The pins-and-needles began to return—this time to all of my extremities. Day 6, started feeling less nauseous and less fatigue, except the tingling sensation remained, which I also began to feel in my chest. Day 7-8 or so, nausea and fatigue gone, but I began to feel some pressure in my chest that woke me up during the night a few times. Day 9, that pressure sensation subsided, but continuing tingling and pins-and-needles throughout body. Day 10-30 the pins-and-needles seemed randomly to come and go; one day I didn’t feel it, another did I did. Started taking vitamin B12, which possibly helped? Day 30, I went to see a physician. Blood work, chest x-ray, and EKG returned completely normal. Now, around Day 40, I still feel pins and needles occasionally and seemingly randomly. This sensation can also be described as a brief “electrical shock” or “zap” that usually lasts only 2-3 seconds, and usually I only feel it on the left-side of my body, legs, feet, arm, or hand. I have the notion that it’s somehow connected to my heart/heart-beat, but I may just be imagining that.

Hoping these sensations disappear for all of us expeditiously. God forbid these are long-lasting side effects.

l have arrhythmia and insomnia for about two weeks. l’m very worried. Has anybody got arrhythmia and palpitations ?

Hi can someone please give me advice I had my 2 Pfizer injection yesterday 19th June
I’m in absolute agony I suffer from fybromyalga and muti level cervical degenerative disease with narrowing of the spinal cord disc deterioration c3,c4,c5,6,c7 I’ve got a temperature and so much pain in my back thighs with shooting pains in my shoulder neck the bottom of my back. I feel so ill a slight cough which I didn’t have before my jab I feel drunk head feels so heavy and I’ve had a lot of blood in my wee first thing this morning I don’t have periods I haven’t since 2007 since my sub historectomy any advice ASAP please

I hope you are all over the side effects. My 1st Pfizer no arm pain or side effect except covid arm (tenderness/swelling/rash 8 days later, lasted 5 days. 2nd shot on the 9th of June, a Wed., , that night terrible aches, next day aches, fever that reached 103.4, heart rate 164. Heart rate eventually went down to normal, had no appetite for a day or so. Sat morning, fever gone. Morning BM normal, had my usual decaf coffee, 5 hrs later, urgent loose stools that went on every morning till this past Wed.. Two days of constipation. This morning, watery diarrhea and loose stool. Other than Twitter, I haven’t read anything on here with people having the latter issues. My dr. said it could take up to 2 weeks to go away. All my like I can count on 1 hand the # of times I dealt with this. This seems to happen at the time I would have my normal bm. Has anyone else dealt with this and if so, how long did it last. I am really wishing I didn’t get the 2nd shot.

I started getting tinnitus ringing in my ears 3 weeks after the Pfizer vaccine. I had the vaccine in my left arm. I also then started receiving tingling in my right hand which then started radiating up my right arm. A few days later I started getting tingling and pins and needles in my right foot. All these symptoms (tinnitus, tingling in arms and tingling in feet) have now continued for 18 days and show no signs of abating.

I have seen a neurologist who is sending me for an MRI and some electrical node tests (not yet sure what that entails). Have reported to both yellow card and Pfizer. The neurologist did say he’s seen quite a few people with odd symptoms recently.

Glad to hear it has abated for some people, but just hoping mine goes sooner rather than later and still not sure whether I should have second dose or whether I can push to have an alternate vaccine seeing as double dosing is needed to even leave the UK it would seem!

I am 41 and had my first Pfizer almost 6 weeks ago. Symptoms are just about gone but still lingering.
After the jab my left arm was so heavy but I was ok. 2 hours later I was getting pins and needles in my foot and lower leg and my left leg especially was very tight. The pins and needles spread to my hand intermittently and after about 30 hours I went down hill. Brain fog, severe anxiety, wobbly, weak, and what seemed like a blocked nostril or ear on the left side. Awful dreams waking in a sudden panic. I went to the doctors as I felt unbalanced and my left side still didn’t feel quite mine. Over the week I was still and achy and felt rotten. At night when relaxing my muscles would spasm and fingers would twitch. I took a lot of ibruprofen and after a few weeks, what was inflammation especially around my left leg, chest and neck went down and I could feel how swollen my glands were hence why my neck had been so stiff. I took antihistamines which brought the glands down quite a bit. I also had a bout of diarrhoea thrown in for good measure. Needles to say I was not a happy bunny. So almost 6 weeks on I feel bubbly again but I am left with waking in the night suddenly and still have a small tremble in my arms / fingers. I will give it another couple of weeks then head back to the doctors.
Needless to say I am reluctant to have the 2nd one unless I can be given answers.

DB.
If you had a neuropathy, your GP can mention it. You can still leave the UK just by taking PCR tests. People cannot force you getting a 2nd dose if it hurt you. Neuropathy is serious and need time to heal.

hello, i had my 1st dose of Pfizer last June 18th. Felt a little numb on my left hand after it was injected (i have the jab on my left arm). i think it lastee til day 3.
day 3 felt something was on my chest the whole day. then on day 4 – got dizzy in the morning. had to sleep a little and got fine after that. then observed again something was on my chest mostly in the afternoon. has anyone experienced something like this?

I got Covid in February but decided to take the shot since, frequently, do I travel. Unfortunately, after the 4th day of my 1st Pfizer vaccine shot on June 11th, my tongue started tingling and sometimes burning. Occasionally, I feel a slight burn in the back of my throat. I called my Primary Care and she said it will go away which I am uncertain that she knows the true answer. I am worried about getting my 2nd dose. Can anyone advise or tell me their experience?

Glad, I found this website.

Had 1st vaccine, dead arm for 24 hours.

All good, then 12 days later I’ve got cold feeling in arms, 19 days later and there’s a bit of an ache where I had vaccination and slight pins and needles in my left foot.

Doctor has said it’s my nerves but a lot of people on here seem to be having similar issues.

Hopefully it’ll sort itself out soon

Just got my Pfizer jab and my ADHD is going absolutely crazy… anyone else feeling this?
Other than bursts of energy no other side effects.

Ok my 5 cents:

33 yo female, sport-ish, no health issues.

5-7 hrs after 1st BioNtech shot: mild headache, fatigue. Took paracetamol and it went away after a couple of hrs.

28-30 hrs after 1st shot: chills, mild aching in legs (like when going down with a flu), cold feet (not on touch, just the feeling, super weird), heart palpitations, frequent urination (every 15-20 min, no other UTI symptoms).
No fever, very slightly elevated blood pressure (might be just an anxiety).
These side effects got much better after a couple of hrs except for frequent urination.

Will post an update in a few days if I don’t forget, mb will help someone.

Oh, and the muscle where the shot was administered hurts on touch, but nothing extreme. Same as any vaccine pretty much.

36 y.o. and active and not overweight. Got my 1st Pfizer 3 weeks ago, and just a super sore arm for 3 days. Got 2nd yesterday morning, and by bedtime had chills so badly that my teeth chattered and whole body shook the bed. Got a fever of 101.5 during the night, headache, and need to urinate frequently (the only time I’ve had a UTI was during pregnancy over a decade ago). Woke up during the night with my legs rigid from muscle spasms—never had that before. This morning (day 2), also have tachycardia, every joint hurts, muscle pain especially in my back, severe fatigue, and need to urinate every 5 min if I’m not lying down. Temp is down to 100.5 without Tylenol.

I got my first shot 6.9.2021 and 9 days later I suddenly felt need to urinate every 5min. Lying down seems to help a little and I can sleep well but days are really difficult.
First few days I had bad abdominal pain but that is much better now. Went to doctor, urine tests are negative and no infection.
How long you have had these symptoms, have you got rid of them? Has any medication helped? I’m starting to feel really anxious whether this doesn’t stop at all..

Anyone is peeing like crazy after getting the vaccine? I feel like I been peeing every 2 hours at night.

I got mine Thursday and I feel tired, I woke up after a nap not remembering my password to my phone.

Hi there everyone ,
It’s been nearly 4 months since I had my first dose of Pfizer vaccine , i had swollen face in right side , numbness in legs , as well as breathing problems . Swelling is gone but numbness in my legs and Shortness of breath is still going on .can’t walk more then few yards , Iam 35 years old and was healthy before this covid episode
Iam suffering with long covid too as I had minor stroke and vertigo when I had covid in last year October ,
Now Iam unable to make decision about 2nd dose of vaccine, GP is not helping at all
As delta variant is spreading fast Iam so terrified ,
Just want to check if any of you had 2nd shot , and what was the reaction ?

Was it reported as an Adverse Event?

We are told that the vaccines are safe. The alarming concern for me that very few of these adverse events are being reported. An adverse event is anything that is different from baseline and it’s not up to your doctor to decide whether or not it’s related to the vaccine. This is a normal process of drug development. If prior to your vaccine you didn’t have for example, tinnitus, pins and needles in your extremities, but did following the vaccine, this is an adverse reaction! This is how we determine safety of a drug.

İ had my first vaccine on 16 th june. After i get the vaccine i directly feeled the tingling on my left pinky and then my whole left hand started tingling especially at night. After a week my right hand started tingling as well. Now as of today the tingling on my feet knees and my forehead started. Nevertheless the tingling on my left hand decreased. I started using alcohol 5 days after the vaccine and constantly drank for the next 5 days. İ have stopped using alcohol yesterday and check how it goes.

l have a lot of palpitations please tell me what do you use for your palpitations? l’ m desperate

I’m 51 years old and received my first dose of Pfizer Sun 27th June. The next couple of days suffered body, muscle joint aches and nausea. On the 3rd day after the jab I started to experience a tingling sensation sort of pins and needles but also a numbness dead leg feeling in my lower right leg from the knee down, anyone else had the same please?

I had my 2nd dose end of April. It is now the beginning of July. I have been having the craziest, most vivid dreams. Still. No, it did not end in a few days. This started after second dosage. I have a coworker that is experiencing the same thing. Phizer also. I should write them down when I wake up. Some are incredible.

A lot of you people need to sort your diet, exercise and sleep patterns out. Seeing grown men blame nightmares on a vaccine, wow! That is hilarious.
They give you a leaflet explaining the side affects, maybe you guys should read it.

As for the comment above, I think you might have an alcohol problem, nothing to do with a vaccine ffs

hi i had my pfizer second dose and i feel so much numbness in my left side of my body including my eye and head . I had my MRI which shows lesions in the parietal lobes. Its been two weeks now but its not going. i actualy dont feel my left side is a pat of my body . its a strange feeling and i want to get rid of this . please dont take this vaccine.

I am on day 3 of 2nd Pfizer dose. Experiencing pins and needles occasionally. Nothing major yet.

Anyone’s pins and needles subside? How long did it take? Did anyone go see their doctor and find out if this is normal? Pls help! Thanks.

I’m still having pins and needles / tingling. It started with both legs now it affecting my hands. It been a 5 weeks since I took my 2nd dose of Pfizer.

Hi
Thank you guys for sharing your experience
I’m also facing the same problem 2 weeks after taking Covishield Vaccine. Numbness and tingling in left leg whenever I walk hardly I could walk 50 yards. Now its more than 90 days. still no sign of relief. If any one recovers/gets relief after taking medicine kindly share/suggest to me
regards
satish

Can t believe it.
Many of my comments get deleted when I try to share other serious links about adverse side effects and the comment from Aaron on July 3rd get posted?
Someone accusing us these side effects are not real?
Disgraceful. In some months, our adverse eggects will be recognized. My Doctors already recognize a link.
Please hear us! I am a strong vaccine enthusiast but also an advocate for all people suffering adverse symptoms to be heard, in respect and dignity!

2 days ago I took my first dose of Pfizer vaccine. Sore arm and Muscle aches were common and bearable.

But it’s the acid reflux which has got worst. I was on 40mg Nexium before the vaccine. Now I am forced to have 2 x 40 mg to control the reflux.
