I had tinnitus too after mine. I’m sorry.

Hi Kat Bro. I'm sorry to hear that you also had tinnitus after the vaccine. If you don't mind me asking, how bad was yours and how long did it last? I know four other people who also developed new or worsening tinnitus after getting the vaccine, though thankfully not as bad as what I went through. Theirs all came from the mRNA vaccines, mine was from Janssen.

For what it's worth, I wish that people would spend more time assessing neurological side effects of the vaccines. There is so much emphasis on myocarditis and things like that, but tinnitus and other neurological symptoms can be just as devastating if not more so.

I had it for about two weeks after first shot of Pfizer. It’s been a year and I still get bouts of dizziness. My body has not been the same since. Have you tried taking an antiviral daily?

I'm sorry that you're still feeling the effects of the vaccine. Doesn't it make you so mad that the medical authorities refuse to acknowledge that people like you and I (and so many others) exist.

What do you mean by a daily antiviral?

I got zero useful help from Western doctors. I finally started acupuncture last summer and getting advice from TCM and a chiropractor who is pretty good with supplements. Supplements that reduce inflammation or that have an effect on the brain have helped me the most.

I wanted to be put on prednisone after the vaccine because I was 100% certain that I was suffering from a severe inflammatory response, but all the doctors I asked refused to prescribe it "because there was no protocol." My suspicion is that they were more fearful for their jobs than anything else because they was incredible pressure on doctors to repeat the mantra "the vaccines are safe and effective." I saw a study this spring that looked at covid vaccine-induced tinnitus. Guess what they recommended to treat the tinnitus -- prednisone. But what do I know? It made me dislike and distrust Western doctors all the more after that.

They sure are dragging their feet on “helping” the injured and yes! It’s infuriating! My story is different as I have a flare up of Epstein Barr (after getting c19 infected late June) so antivirals have been helping. Got some IVM from India as per NP recommendation. Just never know how I’m going to feel day to day… not fun. I’m glad your getting relief.

Ah yes, good old Epstein-Barr. The virus that keeps on giving. I'm glad that the antivirals have been helping get the flare up under control. I hope that things will settle down again so that you can get back to your prior baseline.

For what it's worth, I got covid for the first time in July this year. It was a brutal illness for me. It is the sickest that I have ever been. I had so many neurological symptoms to go along with various more traditional cold and flu like symptoms. I took over two weeks of sick leave and was very sick for a month (I can work from home, which helped me get back to work sooner). I have never been tested for Epstein-Barr (or the other viruses that typically lurk quietly within us), but have wondered if it was one cause for my bad experience with the actual covid virus.

I too had many neuro symptoms after my latest infection. It’s bio warfare so probably intended. But our bodies are amazing machines and very capable of healing all sorts of crap that gets thrown at it! Let’s hope it continues.
