For those who have severe LC, would you want the new vaccine?

Yes. Definitely. I was more than 90% recovered from LC after about 8 months, got Covid again, and have been sick for three more years now.

My Cardiologist said no to vaccines. His nurse just recently died from Covid vaccine. He said he didn’t suggest it with my LC and other issues. I go with that for now.

I took the original Moderna 2 doses. I had the first booster. I had LC in august 2023. KICKED My BUTT. Took over 6 months to feel like I could start trying to normal activities but a year before I really felt good again. Then in August 2024, one year from the first one, I had Covid a second time. It was just as severe at onset but lasted much shorter. After two months with all of the same symptoms, but Much shorter in duration, I feel pretty much back to normal. I am very lucky this time. The only lasting symptom is that the first time around, for about 3 days, I had pretty severe double vision. I still have it but much less severe, with good vision straight ahead, but anything off to the sides, without moving my head, it is still double. I have become accustomed to that but when driving, when I stop at an intersection and have to "look both ways", I have to close one eye to see the oncoming cross traffic clearly. My eye Dr., at a great clinic in my town, says they cannot fix it. If it was constant across my whole field of vision, they could use lenses to correct it, but... By the way, I am DONE with the "vaccine", which is not a vaccine. I still take my annual flu shots. I am 80 yrs old and otherwise very healthy.

No, not tonight. Who will I have to stalk me?? 😬🥴
I get to feeling like crap and want to though. Really. I sit here with my mountains of pills I take daily and think, am I playing a form of Russian Roulette? No gun but the Dr did say that there are like 47 potential bad reactions that can happen by mixing these. He sent basically a book on printed stuff. The funny thing was, (all well intentions I’m sure), is that the copier cut off 1/2 of the interactions on each. So, I really know no more than I did. Uhh. Funny, right? So no bad thoughts today my friend!!!

Awesome for you at 80. 🥂🎂 nice to hear you overcome this mess. Please please be careful driving with that vision. I get this weird thing where they go side to side really quick and stop. Lasts like 5 seconds.

Hey….hey you… melee, you awake 😳. Just checking in on you. Psssstttt. You hear me don’t you. 🥴

Oops mlee, stupid autocorrect

It bothered me a lot at first, but I got used to it. I just automatically close one eye now, anytime I need to look to the side farther than I can turn my head. Otherwise I just turn my head where I used to not turn it that much. At street corners, I cannot turn my head that far without turning my whole body and with a seat belt on, it is difficult to do. But, that's OK. It is just another learned habit. It is very interesting what the brain does, both the good things and the not so good. The whole body is amazing. We don't realize it until things start not working like they used to.

I have continued to get the vaccine because each strand is different and vaccines are not intended to make you immune to the illness, just lessen the risk of serious infection. So, for me, I would rather my body be able to have a less severe reaction than the initial ones that I had in 2020 and in 2022. I imagine that if I hadn't been vaccinated, it could have been a lot worse for me.

I was a nurse and worked through C so i got my vaccines. i never got C until last September. lingering cough but ok. i did get my vaccine after, then bam, LC. Ugh. I read the literature but after LC then worse again after C this September, i am on the fence about my booster. See cardiology in a couple of weeks and will see what he says, then do my own thing anyway. LOL
