Covid is not dependent on vaccine symptoms verses Covid symptoms. I have not felt vaccination symptoms but I am currently having covid as despite two vaccines and a booster
I’m having symptoms as I currently have moderate Covid but not because I’m getting vaccine symptoms as I believe the only true vaccine symptom is where they vaccinated a person. A pin prick.
I don’t believe vaccines have any symptoms. I never got vaccine symptoms but I do have Covid at this time and vaccinated or not, I feel awful .
But I figured the chances of being hospitalized with Covid without a vaccine my research shows that 88% of non vaccinated people are likely to get hospitalized while 16% of vaccinated people who get covid are not. I chose the 16% bet.
So far I have not been hospitalized but only been bedridden. I feel awful but not on the brink of being hospitalized. Given the fact that we now have 8 out of 10 Americans vaccinated I figure I’m in good company.
I got sick after my fourth Covid vaccine, after having no reaction at all with the first three. I got a bad cold and a cough that lasted four months. No GI symptoms, though. My doctor gave me an antibiotic for the cough, and then I developed severe pain pretty much all over. I saw a functional medicine doctor who prescribed several supplements and also an anti-inflammatory diet. I got better slowly, but now I can't eat gluten, refined sugar, or dairy (except Greek yoghurt). I got Covid in December, even though I wear a mask everywhere, and thankfully, it was a mild case, like getting a cold. I was actually sicker after the last vaccine than I was with Covid. I took the CVS brand of Maalox last winter and was sick for over a month with terrible upper body pain. I now avoid ALL drugs, both OTC and prescription, and ALL vaccines (I also got bursitis from my last flu shot, so those are out, too). I didn't develop food sensitivities from having Covid; they developed after the fourth vaccine. I'm now getting IV infusions of Vitamin C, magnesium, B complex, and calcium, which I'm hoping will boost my immune system and help me avoid any further flare ups. These infusions are very expensive and not covered by insurance, and neither are any of the supplements I'm taking. Nothing from a functional medicine doctor is covered. BTW, my IV doc is totally against the vaccines.
I would like to understand this also. My daughter developed many long Covid symptoms after having her vaccine. I am desperate to find support and help. It’s a long list of symptoms.
