Yale study reports chronic symptoms after Covid vaccine.

No suturing anal fissures. That would be a last resort. Many heal on their own. Talk to your doctor.

I have had long covid for 2 years now. Both my heart doctor and regular doctor said no more vaccine or boosters for me...avoiding large groups of people too now.

Not sure if this will help...

The Yale LISTEN Study Town Hall: October 2023
I found this enlightening -

PVS -
Loss of hearing, Suicidal thoughts, Feelings of impending doom, Palpitations, Tinnitus, Numbness, Internal vibration, Neuropathy, Burning sensations
(Note: other studies have similar and additional symptoms)

8/25/2025 - Immunologist: Hope for ME/CFS and post-Covid, research needed
https://science-apa-at.translate.goog/power-search/17729239753393598891
“At the International Congress of Immunology (IUIS) in Vienna, immunologist Akiko Iwasaki of Yale University (USA) expressed hope that treatment options can be found for at least some of those affected by conditions such as ME/CFS and long/post-COVID. In an APA interview, she emphasized that the causes must be addressed. She sharply rejected views that ME/CFS or post-COVID might not be somatic illnesses. “

I have been following Dr. Akiko Iwasaki ( Yale - Medicine - Immunology ) to see what else she finds - google her name for more information.

12/11/2024 - Persistence of spike protein at the skull-meninges-brain axis may contribute to the neurological sequelae of COVID-19

Highlights
“ SARS-CoV-2 spike protein persists in the skull-meninges-brain axis in COVID-19 patients
Spike protein is sufficient to induce brain pathological and behavioral changes in mice
Spike protein enhances brain vulnerability and exacerbates neurological damage in mice
mRNA vaccines reduce, but do not eliminate, the spike burden. “

The booster thread was removed - its important to have discussions related to the vaccines since there are studies related to them and LC. Everything should be on the table for discussion/research until LC is eradicated.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been living with persistent, 24/7 dizziness for the past four years. It started subtly after a work trip to the USA in June 2022, and escalated dramatically during a second, longer stay from November 2022 to March 2023. About eight months before the first trip, I received two Pfizer COVID vaccine doses (no boosters). I’m not claiming causation—just sharing the timeline in case it resonates with others.

The dizziness is constant but becomes significantly more noticeable when I’m at home. While working—especially in high-focus environments like my studio—I don’t perceive it at all. It’s as if my brain overrides the sensation during deep engagement, but the moment I decompress, it returns.

I’ve tried various medications:

• Cindrid 25mg (Cinnarizine) helped initially, then lost effectiveness.
• Atenolol 100mg buffers my cardiovascular system well.
• Montelukast (Maclutek 10mg) helps with allergic symptoms.
• Magnesium glycinate supports vagal tone and calms things slightly.

I’ve also tracked my BP/HR arcs and noticed strong parasympathetic tone, occasional vagal surges, and mild nausea episodes. No clear vestibular damage, no hypotension, no bradycardia—just this persistent, destabilizing dizziness.

I miss my life before this. I’ve stayed functional, creative, and emotionally present, but I’d love to hear from anyone who’s experienced something similar. Whether it’s post-vaccine, post-travel, autonomic, vestibular, or something else entirely—any insights, protocols, or shared patterns would mean a lot.

Thanks for reading,
Werner

@wbeukes hi there. I have written my story of vaccine injury on here. I was healthy up until 4 days after getting the first Pfizer shot I became dizzy/vertigo with blurred vision and a headache. Lost vision in my left eye for a short time. I was so dizzy I had to hold onto my husband to walk. I also immediately developed rash, extreme fatigue, difficulty talking, concentrating, I couldn’t work. Daily crashes with internal tremors and tinnitus. I have never been able to go for walks for long because the dizziness sets in immediately. I used to have a terrible time in grocery stores. I was dx with vestibular migraine and PPPD…but the physio for this did nothing for me. I knew they were missing the mark. Knew the doctors had no clue what was happening to me. I have been searching for answers and knew this sudden illness and dizziness was going to cause me harm long term. I was eventually dx with chronic fatigue syndrome with MCAS and POTS. I kept pushing for answers as new symptoms would develop and as of January I’ve been dx with Lupus SLE and possibly Sjogren’s. I know the vaccines triggered my illness and I know that COVID itself has caused Long Covid in others which I believe is the same Illness/same pathophysiology. I believe in your case the vaccine triggered this. Although I warned my parents to stop getting the Covid vaccine they continued getting the boosters despite seeing me become so obviously sick from them. They believe the doctors (which I did too) and now my 83 year old mom has the same dizziness and she’s struggling with it constantly. I would say I. The last year my dizziness has improved but I still struggle going for a walk which I avoid. Which is sad as I always enjoyed walking. I would avoid the vaccine and try not to get Covid. Also, maybe try a ganglion block injection in the neck. I have an internal tremor and it’s supposed to help with that too. My friend who had the same issue has had a few treatments of ganglion block and she said the internal tremors are basically gone. I am going to try it too. It might help with the dizziness. Good luck and trust me….your not alone in this 👌

@wbeukes same here after the 2nd Covid vaccine from Pfizer.
Immediately had issues walking especially on left side. Constantly worse after 4’years. No doctor has an answer as to what happened or why. Lots of guesses. Quality of life after vaccine has dropped dramatically. Maybe safe for others but not here. After 2nd shot no boosters or anything. Taken and won’t take any covid shots.

What’s interesting is today I squeezed fresh lemon in 500ML water, drank it, and the dizziness subsided.

Here’s what I found using Copilot everyday.

Why Lemon Water Might Have Helped

1. Hydration + Electrolyte Shift• 500ml of water alone can restore blood volume, improving cerebral perfusion and baroreflex stability.
• Lemon adds potassium and citrate, which may buffer mild acidosis or support vascular tone.

2. pH and Histamine Modulation• Lemon is acidic in taste but alkalinizing in the body, which may reduce histamine sensitivity or mast cell activation.
• If your dizziness has a histaminergic or inflammatory component, this could explain the relief.

3. Gastric and Glycemic Reset• Lemon water can stimulate digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and modulate vagal tone—especially after a glycemic dip or emotional load.

4. Parasympathetic Rebalancing• The act of drinking slowly, paired with lemon’s sensory profile, may have reset your autonomic loop—especially if you were in a vagal-sympathetic mismatch.
