I am a physician and now feel strongly that we are going to see this blow up. I have had a similar reaction to Pfizer. Huge workup, all neg. Very healthy prior. I've had it for 5 months now. Look up Senator Johnson's press release on YouTube about it. Thankfully I've been able to get into 2 different neurologists since in the medical profession here in Dallas and seeing one more next Tuesday at UT Southwestern. My few tips: heat and over exertion makes the following day worse. I have not discovered anything that helps but time, but many are starting to see some relief who had the vaccine back in Dec/Jan so hope is there!! I believe heavy prednisone dosing when symptoms first appear will help but will see what the research and experience shows over the next year. Keep calling for a cancellation. Maybe send cookies to the neurologist with a request to get the first cancellation opening?? Food goes a long way for staff..... Many of us have an internal trembling type sensation along with weakness, fatigue. My legs shake and give out at times though finally seems to not be getting worse. Are you having any of these symptoms? The hand movement is very bizarre and I think is going to be a signature side effect to this vaccine for some. The file size limit isn't letting me upload my videos of this.

@bowerstx Our stories & symptoms sound remarkably similar. I also experience mild twitching in the arch of my right foot frequently, which is probably my most troubling symptom as it frequently makes me concerned about ALS (3 neuros have told me to stop worrying about ALS). I do know that twitching can be part of neuropathy though. What is the hand movement that you mentioned?
