How long did it take everyone to get over the vaccine?
I'm 3 weeks post my 2nd shot. About 18 days after my first shot, i got a flurry of eye floaters - went to the eye doctor who said my eyes were fine. Just had acupuncture and he said the vaccine destroyed my immune and blood systems (actually have confirmation that my iron and RBC are extremely low post vaccine). I felt great after acupuncture this past Friday, but now I'm starting to have fatigue and blurry vision/more eye floaters again. So much inflammation that it's causing pretty bad depression too. I just want to be back to normal.
@michellepazicni Your acupuncturist is irresponsible. I can't comment on the post vaccine blood test without knowing a lot more, like a full work up a day before the vaccine and a week after and a hematologist's analysis. But what that practitioner said was tantamount to injecting emotional toxicity into your system. We are all quite sensitive to suggestion. It's been forty years now that the medical profession has learned that patients get sick when they are given a serious diagnosis and people can die fro the diagnosis. Doctors these days are careful about causing illness with faulty statements. But apparently that acupuncturist didn't get the memo.
@michellepazicni After the second dose of Moderna it took me three weeks to feel fully restored: a couple of days of the ache and chills and then a period of fuzzy thinking and fatigue and a bad cold. I see a clinical herbalist, she prepared a combination of tinctures that brought me around back to normal. Am waiting for the FDA ok for the third dose of Moderna!
@michellepazicni, it took me a few weeks to feel completely back to normal. I already have chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, so those symptoms became worse after both shots. I also had a rheumatoid arthritis flare after shot #2. Not surprising since that's an inflammatory condition. I just made sure that I really watched my diet -- no sugar or high-glycemic carbs that might spike my blood sugar, which causes even more inflammation for me.
I can't speak to your blood test results, and I assume your doctor is following up on that, if necessary. About the acupuncture: sometimes when I've had acupuncture or any kind of body work, I might feel good immediately afterwards, and then a day or so later, have strange symptoms or feel like a truck ran over me. I don't know if you can relate to that experience, but just something to consider.
I agree with @jeanne-mayell about the power of suggestion, especially when it comes to our health. Our health care practitioners need to be responsible and mindful of what they say to us, and how they say it.
Make sure to give yourself lots of TLC. And know that this will eventually pass.
It took me and my extended family (about 10 people total) only one or two days to feel normal.
@michellepazicni I just had my Pfizer booster about five days ago and had fatigue and a sore arm for two days. Then I was back to normal. And today I saw my retina specialist and my eyes are good. I’m stunned that an acupuncturist would tell you something like that. Is your acupuncturist a medical doctor? Just curious. Namaste. May you have peace of mind again.
I got the J&J in April. My arm felt like I got punched really hard for about 40 minutes. After that, nothing.
@michellepazicni I'm so glad you made that post about your concerns and gave us a chance to respond. Your question got me to dig deeper inside of myself to think about it.
It took me several weeks to get back to normal after the second shot. I got those flu symptoms most people got but those symptoms spooked me, because, well, it's the dreaded Covid.And I've had chronic health issues so I was worried that I was now going to be facing something else.
As time wore on, I kept thinking I was still having symptoms but I'm not so sure if these were vaccine symptoms because I've had chronic illness symptoms ever since I got lyme in 2015. I have good days and I have weird days and the weather now affects me and so I've got health issues. Stress and anxiety especially affect my symptoms.
And whenever I start focusing on symptoms, any symptoms, I start thinking I'm getting sick.
These stress symptoms disappear when I'm giving someone a reading (I feel great!) or leading a meditation or class (also feel great). So that's interesting, right? During those times I feel spirit working through me and I feel like a million bucks. Symptoms also disappear when I'm gardening, swimming, or hanging out with certain beloved people.
But I have learned over time that my emotional state affects my physical state which is why I appreciate how medical doctors I've seen over the years have been gentle about relaying any health news. I tend to go for alternative health care first. But when I've needed allopathic medicine, I have been fortunate to have the kindest and gentlest of doctors.
I spoke to a relative who is usually upbeat, and, laughing, she said she too had flu symptoms after the second shot, but she decided to just go out after a week and start playing a lot of tennis until she forgot about the symptoms. I tried her plan and I just went out and started doing heavy lifting in the garden, which is my happy place, for a few weeks. I was hauling wheel barrow's full of mulch and compost up hill and digging a rabbit trench, and making raised beds and working up a sweat and drinking a lot of fluids.
The vaccine symptoms went away. I got a third shot in August, and felt aches in the arm and stiff in the body. I pushed through with gardening and swimming and they too disappeared after a couple of weeks.
And after that third booster, I feel safe now.
If it helps, I threw some cards on you, and got really good cards on your health future. The Star card is as good as it gets and you got that. It means hope, renewal, rebirth.
