The media informing of the deaths and showing the subsequent grief and sorrow is done for effect? Hmm ā¦not so sure about that. Also, I donāt think the people are my friends but I do feel empathy for them.
Iām happy for the people when success stories are shown as well.
Unfortunately Iām still not wellā¦the doctor has said its likely I have labyrinthitus and it will go away eventually but its horrible just sat up in bed here now is uncomfortable and Iāve had to take anti nausea medicationā¦terrible ringing in my ears too this all happened just hours after the vaccinationā¦doing some research myself Iāve discovered lots of people with my exact symptoms not just with the Astra Zeneca but Pfizer and Moderna vaccines tooā¦Iām hoping I have no long term damageā¦every morning I wake up hoping the room will not be spinningā¦only time will tell.
I hope everyone else is feeling better and coping OK.
I have been having bouts of labyrinthitus for many years. Sometimes it lasts for 2 or3 weeks sometimes less. My doctor told me to do the the Brandt-Daroff exercise and it has helped me. I have tried the Epley exercise but it was too drastic for me and made me sick. It is not a pleasant feeling.
I had my 2nd Pfizer yesterday - my group was a week earlier than scheduled, in line with the general emphasis being placed on 2nd vaccinations, currently averaging 350,000 a day as opposed to 100,000 a day for 1st vaccinations.
No noticeable reaction or ill-effects so far, although I fell asleep in the afternoon but that could have been due to fatigue caused by the rare early morning walk to the Civic Centre ā¦
Iām so glad you told me about the Yellow Card scheme, Mups, because I passed that information onto someone who developed a chronic inner ear infection, causing dizziness, vertigo etc after getting the vaccine. She didnāt like to link the two things, but I mentioned she could report it to the YC site, and she had no idea there was such a thing.
That sounds like an awful illness Summer, I looked it up in the NHS internet. Listen to advice from your doctor & please let us know when you are feeling better. The site suggested that if things donāt improve within 3 weeks you should seek further help from your GP.
Good luck & I hope you feel much better soon!
