@pfizerinjured yes many of us have had those issues too. My eyes feel dry when they are full of water. It doesn’t make any sense. These vaccines put off different symptoms for everyone. Hang in there. What other symptoms do you have?
Have no idea on the veracity of this article but here's a treatment approach mentioned for post vax tinnitus -
@ksharky13 My tinnitus came on after 4 weeks on the shot side and 5 weeks on the other side. I too experienced it getting better and almost disappearing but it has since gotten a little louder again. I hope that this means we are healing slowly and symptoms appear in waves. How loud is yours? I can barely hear mine in a quiet room most of the time but when I plug my ears I can hear it much louder.
Again, I can't completely blame the vaccine, I was taking omeprazole at the exact time that these symptoms came on and many people have reported ear pain/tinnitus/dizziness from that as well.
@heybro What symptoms is it helping with?
Please use the quote button. I do not remember what I said.
Probiotic
Garlic
Onions
Vitamin E
Selenium
Glutathione
Baking Soda
Xyzal
Strawberries
Oatmeal
are all helping me with my nerve problems across my stomach, at my side, and up my back as well as my digestive problems near the same areas.
@pfizerinjured Thanks. I've not heard of botox cosmetic poisoning. I have heard of rare side effects with very large volume injections into deeper tissue used for medical purposes (neck muscles, bladder, etc). Curious, what symptoms did you have during those years? Did they come on suddenly or evolve over time? As an aside, I've had cosmetic botox (forehead) in pretty high quantities for 22yrs now.
Botox itself only lasts for a few months so I'm presuming you identified some form of auto antibody (auto immune) reaction. Normally, when that happens it's auto antibodies to the the botox molecule and the result is a person becomes more resistant to the product working: body becomes relatively immune to it's effect.
Unfortunately, I'm not informed enough about this to make suggestions on meds or supplements and would not want to steer you wrong. Generally, for any autoimmune, things like gut health, plant based (no animal proteins) diets, and periodic 5 to 7 day fasting can help reset the immune system: proven effect in some cases of Lupus, RA, etc. Regular IVIG or Apheresis possibly with prolonged immunosuppression can help get some autoimmune disorders into more manageable state; but not a cure - remission at best usually.
Mike,
Thank you so much again. I think you're right about it being an autoimmune issue. I have Hashimoto's and thus this may be the reason why 1) I've reacted aversely to botox and 2) having a hyper-autoimmune reaction to the Pfizer vaccine, the the latter being the reason for my super elevated TPO level.
Botox never ever leaves your body. The majority does, yes. But it hides in the "biofilms" and there are certain things that can trigger it, ie. break open the biofilms and the Botox is once again allowed to spread into your body and wreak havoc. I am not doing a good job of explaining it. You might want to check out the Botox (Dysport) Side Effects FB page. I don't know why some people don't react it it. I suspect it may be an autoimmune condition (like mine) or a faulty gene (some people have MTHFR), that renders some people more susceptible to Botox's adverse conditions. There is a "black box" warning on Botox website. Also, there are some that have had it for many many years with seemingly side effects and BOOM, all of a sudden they were taken ill. This is basically what happened to me. I had it over the course of 5-6 years on a 6-monthly basis. I had an accelerated course in 2017, and that led to my downfall! It did get better with certain supplements to try and "neutralise" it (for lack of a medical term) and I had a remission for 3 years. In most of 2021, I was almost near normal, ie. healthy enough to have a regular life. Then I had the Pifzer vaccine and it was like I'd suddenly just jumped off a cliff!! All my previous symptoms came back plus I now have new ones. Most of mine are neurological.
I have a team of specialists helping me now. However, with this mRNA "thing" and the Covid being so new, it's trial and error we're doing it. Latest is that I need to calm down my TPO, Hashimoto's. Prayers that this will help.
@heybro Can you explain the baking soda and which probiotic are you using?
I'm using Culturelle. A gentleman named Kyle Warner who is a famous mountain biker, who mostly had heart issues recommends Align. I am not going to switch because Culturelle helps me and they take a few weeks to work.
A researcher in Australia recommended the baking soda. He recommends NAC and baking soda for three weeks. I tried doing all of that and it gave me headaches.
However, the baking soda works for me when I take it only when I need it.
I need it when I am sleeping and my digestive system and the nerves across my stomach start having intense pressure. If I take the baking soda, everything calms down and I can then sleep.
You take 1/8th teaspoon of baking soda. How do you measure this? You pinch baking soda between your thumb, index finger, and forefinger and that is going to be 1/8th. You put that in a glass of water and drink it.
Please note: do not take anything 2 hours before or 2 hours after baking soda.
It has worked really well for me.
@pfizerinjured yes many of us have had those issues too. My eyes feel dry when they are full of water. It doesn’t make any sense. These vaccines put off different symptoms for everyone. Hang in there. What other symptoms do you have?
Tons, ie. vertigo (room spinning, with or without vomitting), dizziness on a daily basis, tinnitus, nerve pain (paresthesia, muscle weakness/ muscle pain, internal tremors/anxiety, hands shaking or twitching, nausea, low body temperature, high blood pressure, sudden intolerance to histamines, MCAS etc).
@heybro Yeah Kyle Warner. He has gotten much better. I hope he keeps speaking out for the vax injured. He did a lot of HBOT. I tried contacting him. Do you know his protocol?
It seems, if I understand it correctly, a lot of our (or rather my) symptoms are an over-reaction of the immune system, ie. an over-reaction to the spike protein. Has anyone taken a SHORT course of steroids, like prednisolone, to suppress our immune system?
That will not work to heal/cure. May help quite a bit as bandaid for symptoms. Problem is you can't easily stay on steroids forever. Better to treat the cause(s) as much as possible directly. It's also a mix: some people are suffering as a result of too weak an immune system initially; later though most end up with hyper-immune systems. And yet, many people out there keep taking things to "broadly" boost their immune systems with supplements. Quite interesting.
I'm 4.5 months into this and except for blood pressure and insomnia, I'm now 95% healed: extensive skin rashes gone, burning skin sensations gone, random body muscle twitches gone, upper left chest deep pressure and burning pain (likely pericarditis) gone, all different types of headaches gone, right ear twitching 90% gone (generally about 12 - 15 times a day now vs. almost constant before). For BP and insomnia, now well controlled on meds for both for now and just time now.
And this coming out of 5th vaccine in Jan. So it's definitely possible to heal. And I'd say in my case less about time and more about aggressive treatment starting within 8wks of this all starting.

That's amazing, Mike. I am super happy for you, sincerely.
I didn't know what I had initially, struggled for months wondering. It was a real stumbling block. Drs couldn't help. A lot of what I've found out is from reading posts and advice by other people, from websites such as this. Posters, like yourself and others, have been tremendously helpful. It's been 6 months for me. I hope I've found solutions to my issues. Now Q is how to implement without making myself worse.
@nickpaul , thank you for responding. What vestibular rehabilitation exercises do you do? Could you possibly share please?
Excuse the slow reply. My vestibular physio gave me six core exercises. 1 & 2. Keep eyes in position and move head, first 180 degrees side to side, then up and down. 3 & 4. Keep head still and move eyeballs first side to side, then up and down. 5 & 6. Focus eyes on a target at about eye level (e.g. a cross stuck on a wall), keep the eyes focused on the target while moving head, first side to side, then up and down. I started the exercises lying down, then progressed through sitting, standing, standing with feet together, standing one foot in front of the other, standing on one leg, and walking. I also bought a book called The Vertigo Treatment, A Simple Step By Step Guide. Its author, Bobby Gibbs, posts about his experience of vestibular symptoms and the book somewhere else on this VeDA site. (I have no affiliation with him or the book). The exercises in the book are more or less the same exercises as I was given by my physio in principle, with some variations. I can see some SLOW progress as I've done the exercises, I'm about 3.5 months into doing them, and about 7.5 months since vaccine and onset of dizzy (and other) symptoms. It's going to take longer though. I am becoming slightly more functional but still not able to get back to work. I'm hoping for further progress with time.
Of course, I don't know if the vestibular exercises would be right for your situation, but I hope the info might help.
I was also investigated for POTS / Myocarditis / Cardio type vaccine reactions early on due to symptoms but Cardiologist ruled that out. And I finally got to see an Immunologist a week ago who is going to do some tests for immune overactivity / autoimmunity. At this stage though I think I'll probably end up with just the vestibular diagnosis I've already got.
