I am wondering if taking the covid vaccine could bring about these symptoms rather than covid itself. I am seeing many side effects from the shots or boosters.

The possibility exists that the vaccines could produce blood clots as it's noted in the possibilities of adverse reactions as posted by some of the pharma companies that produce the vaccines. The notes on it are statistically very low as they have reported them to date but for those of us that have a propensity to clot due to a variety of blood disorders & medical conditions, it's super important that people do their own research and have that conversation with their hematologist.

I did end up getting COVID since my last post and it was flu-like symptoms for me including chills/fever, very slight cough, watery diarrhea, slightly swollen nodes. I didn't develop any problems with shortness of breath or blood clots so following the guidance of my personal doctors kept in good stead. I increased vitamin C and D intake. My biggest problem was making sure that I stayed hydrated and fatigue.

I was very fortunate that it was relatively mild in my case as the symptoms were mostly over by the middle of the 4th day. I just had annoying little cough after eating for a few weeks after that, although I was noticeably improving each day that I had it.

I will say that if you think that you have signs of a blood clot - shortness of breath, sudden swelling in a leg or arm, (for the ladies, menstrual cycle that is more "clotty" than normal), it's important to get seen by a doctor immediately and get in to see a hematologist as soon as possible.

I'll look around and see if there is anything that I can find to post.
