@fmeronoff I should provide a bit more detail. I contracted Long COVID from my booster in November '21. That's the reason why I have been told not to get another booster.

@pkh3381, that's an interesting and very valid query. I believe the questionnaire is referring to active "cold-like" symptoms not long-Covid symptoms. Is this what you are referring to?

Some people to get better after getting the booster. However, it has made other people’s much much worse.
Because my Long Covid symptoms are pretty bad, I will not risk getting the booster.
My doctors recommendation is to not get the booster.

I’ll have to admit after I got this new booster my LC symptoms got worse. Kind of like they were increased. I wish I had some documentation on this. Wonder if I’ll get one every year. I was just feeling like I had my energy back ……..

Hi dawniepoo,
How long ago did you get the new booster? Any gradual improvement over time?
Thank you for sharing your experience

Shoot...not the answer I was hoping for.
Any chance you caught something else, not the vax?

Here's hoping we all feel better sometime...soon!
