Covid Vaccine Reaction

Posted by Chris Gautier OR Santosha @santosha, Mar 29, 2022

Some 10 days ago I had my third Covid vaccine, this time from J&J (my first two were from AstraZeneca), having many reactions, including seizures. I am now having several auras during my day, something I have never experienced before in my life.
Did anyone have such a reaction when taking the J&J Covid vaccine? How long did it last?
Thank you!

Hi Everybody
Just to let you know that those reactions that I had with the J&J vaccine have disappeared after 2 weeks I have taken it. Free of seizures and auras for a few days already. Thank God :-)!
My doctor has said that some other few patients had also similar reactions. I am a very sensitive person to any medication. So this does not mean that other people with epilepsy will have the same reactions as I had.
Wish you all a nice Sunday!

I had horrible crackles in my head, and could not remember items in my house .... thought I was having a stroke. This was ruled out at ER, but physicians said they were seeing several people with Covid vaccine reactions this past booster. comment: October 15, 2023

Before I start, let me tell you that before being vaccinated, I hadn't been sick since 2013--nothing other than occasional headache.
I had two Moderna shots. My reaction to the second was extreme. First, like many, I had flu symptoms--pretty intense including a fever of 101°F . This lasted for 3 days. A week later, I had chest pains and couldn't breathe. Ended up in the ER with pleurisy. A week after that, out of no where, I got a pain in the back of my thigh that just kept getting worse and worse. I was in pain no matter what I did, no matter what position I was in. Touching it sent me through the roof with pain. The doctor said he had absolutely no idea what was causing it. He prescribed Norco for the pain. I took one pill, slept for 3 hours. An hour after I got up, I lost consciousness. It felt just like the start of a tonic clonic. Being medicated, I didn't actually seize. I don't think it was just the Norco that nearly caused the seizure, because after I broke a bone 6 months prior, I was prescribed Norco. I had no reaction to it other than being in LaLa land.
There is no question in my mind that all of these things were a result of the vaccine. I will never get a booster.

@santosha As for me, thankfully, I haven't had any other issues.
@patricianolson How long did the "crackles" last? It must have been a frightening experience.

Crackles decreased over 4-5 days. The delirium frightened me more than anything.
