COVID vaccine booster

Posted by mel62 @mel62, 1 day ago

I was diagnosed with LC in June. I was planning on getting a fall Covid booster and flu shot. However I’m seeing reports that LC symptoms worsen after a booster. Does anyone have more information about?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

There are very different opinions about the vaccine. Some of us get every single vaccine as it becomes available - I'm not one of them, but I believe the thinking is that getting Covid again would likely make their symptoms much worse than the vaccine.

In my case, I developed chronic heart issues from the vaccine, and Long Covid after having Covid for the fourth time. I will never take another Covid vaccine, because it might worsen my heart problems. It's a discussion I've had with my doctors, and no one questions my decision because I'm the one who has to live with the consequences either way.

If you have doctors you trust, I recommend you talk the issue through with them. I've gotten a lot of support and encouragement from both my primary care and my cardiologist.
