Long Covid + getting more boosters- any reputable info out there?

Posted by ericy210 @ericy210, Sep 21, 2022

I had the two Moderna shots and one booster. Got Covid in May and have been suffering with neurological long Covid issues. Lots of neurological studies and appointments for me.
Now I wonder if I should get a new booster. Would it help? Is it safe? Will it help or worsen my condition?
Anybody seen any reputable studies or articles addressing this? I’ll be asking my own doctor too. Just don’t know what to do!

My long COVID symptoms didn’t start when I got COVID in June 2022; they started when I got the Pfizer booster on Sept 2021. I did fine with the first 2 Pfizer vaccines, but the booster gave me severe fatigue, brain fog, and muscle pain and weakness. All this just got worse when I did get COVID. But we’re all different; that’s just my experience.

When I was ready for my second Phizer booster shot I came down with covid for the first time. I have long covid symptons and asked the pharmacist what he thought about taking the second booster. . He said he would not take the second booster. My son, an MD researched the question and said I was 10% likely to have a side effect. Now I am looking for a third opinion from my internest. Will let you know what I decide.

I am being told that I am very lucky to have a certain form of long covid. Why is this lucky?

Why? What Covid vaccine did you get and what issues did you have?

My first vaccine was J&J and it brought on extreme pain that evening into the next day. The pain was exactly like the pain I had from PMR, an autoimmune disease. The insurance nurse and the PC told me to take ibuprofen and the pain subsided. If you remember, we were told by the government not to take ibuprofen. Not any trust left for the CDC or NIH.

Check w/your primary care provider. I’d be first in line for an approved booster. I had a month of being tired after I had Covid.
Glad I had all immunizations.
Best of luck to you.
