Yes, at the end of last year I had the Pfizer booster. I began having shooting pains in my left ear. A few weeks later I had pain spreading from my lleft ear to my eye, nose, and gums. It lasted all year. I saw several doctors, some said I had TN, others said they were baffled. I was worried about having a second booster but earlier this month I went ahead with the Moderna booster. A week later I have excruciating pain on the right side of my face. It began with a sharp, shooting, unbearable pain in my jaw. Now it is a steady ache from my right temple to my gums and jaw. I have been diagnosed with TN and put on Gabapentin a few days ago. Last night I finally slept through the night after another evening of severe pain.
Has anyone read the NIH article on this? This site won't allow me to include the link but you can google: ncbi nlm nih trigeminal neuralgia after covid booster
I am thinking of asking my doctor for this steroid treatment.

Hello,
After I had the first Pfizer booster in Dec 2021, by Jan 2022 they discovered that I had Pachymeningitis. By March of 2022, they discovered that I had a severe bilateral Subdural Hematoma. I had paralysis on my right side, from my shoulder down to my foot, cognitive issues, which I still have some of. Blinding headaches etc etc. I can finally walk without a walker now. The subdural hematoma is almost gone. I’m still recovering from both. After the 2nd Pfizer booster on June 1st. 2022, I ended up in the hospital with non-stop palpitations, high fever, vomiting and diarrhea, and trembling.
Than in July I started getting water retention in my ankles, and lower legs. They did a right cardio Cath in Sept 2022 and discovered that I the pressures in my heart were high, and fluid. Now I’m on a water pill, to get the excess water out of my body. Also since I had the hematoma, Pachymeningitis, and the boosters, I rapidly gained 25 pounds. Which will now be a struggle to get off of. I am starting IVIG treatments due to the Sjogren’s Syndrome that I now have. Ugh 😩 I’m exhausted
