4th dose of Moderna has done damage. Will it go away ?

[Dechi]

Hello,

I don’t write as much as before but I still come to read sometimes. 10 days ago I had my 4th dose of the Moderna vaccine and since then, I’ve been having more PEM, more often. My symptoms in general have increased and I feel more ill.

I‘m starting to really regret doing it and I am scared this won’t get better. All three doses before were okay. The first time I recovered in 4-5 days, the other two doses I barely felt anything except soreness at the sight of injection.

Has anyone gone through this and did it get better ? Do you have any advice to help me get past this ?

Thank you !

Yeah I recovered from third dose relatively quickly but I still think they did some low level damage to my immune system.

To be honest I'd wait 2 months. That's how long it took me to return to baseline after each az vaccine.

It should settle down, in theory this is your body fighting the virus except that its a fake virus analogue.
Lets hope you did not catch the real virus in the last 15 days or so.

Good to see you BTW, been a while.

I had mixed reactions to the three jabs I received. First one was hard, second easy-peasy, third left me struggling for four months, though I am back to my baseline now. In other words, I worried, as you do @Dechi, that I had dropped a few levels permanently. POTS flared wildly. But slowly and surely, things got better.

I was reading a bunch of other people's (with ME and dysautonomia) experiences with the vaccines the other day and was surprised to learn that mine was not way out there. Many others have had long recoveries. Which I guess can be hopeful? I did not read of anyone who failed to bounce back, albeit slower than they would have wanted to.

Hope that will be the case for you too. Be as patient as you can.....

Oh yeah I forgot to say. Lots of people had viral reactivations from the vaccines. It will take time for your body to wrestle the reactivations into submission. This is a slow process for our already burdened immune systems. But it will get there eventually.

All the best.

I wish @Cort would do a poll on the 2nd booster.

Thanks, I’ll be patient then.

Good to see you too ! I’ll try to catch up.

That is very good news, thanks !

That would be very interesting to read, and probably reassure people too.

I feel more encouraged and optimistic after reading you all. Thank you so much !
