Day 15 after Second Moderna: Still not myself, but better

Hey all, see post history for my previous struggles with Moderna. Had absolutely no symptoms save a sore arm for dose one. Dose two kicked my ass for three days, had a fever up to 103, and took almost a week for my fever to go back to normal.

Iā€™m on day 15, and I still donā€™t feel my full self. I still have brain fog, everything still feels hazy but itā€™s a little bit clearer, and Iā€™m better at ignoring it. At one point the fog was so bad it was triggering panic attacks. I also quit thc unintentionally after the second dose because I was so sick, and havenā€™t felt much of an urge to get high because my brain already feels out of it. I also find that hydrating and resting makes me feel a bit more clear.

Anyone else have the brain fog issue last a really long while? I donā€™t feel sick, I just donā€™t feel ā€œmyselfā€. Maybe if I had time to just sleep in and eat for more than a weekend I would be okay, but alas, Iā€™ve been working a really physical job at like 40 hours a week since I got the vaccine...

Half of me is wondering if itā€™s just withdrawal, or if it really was just the vaccine. Iā€™ve never had a problem with derealization, and I donā€™t think thatā€™s the problem...Everything feels real and Iā€™m grounded, itā€™s just...washed out. Not clear. Then again, I havenā€™t been sober for this long in over a year so what do I know. I just want to feel normal again so badly :/ Itā€™s scary not having control of your own mind, and not knowing what caused the problem.

Additionally, I have a chronic UTI problem, as well as a piercing that is healing, so Iā€™m wondering if those two problems in combination with the vaccine gave me such an aggressive response? Let me know what you guys think and your experience.

Yeah. Kinda tired of people acting like itā€™s innocent and great when a lot of people are suffering. I mean of course itā€™s better than covid, but people should know the facts: there is a chance you will feel like REAL shit, and you should prepare for that. All you can do is make the best decision for you, or maybe communicate with your employers that you had a severe reaction to the last vaccine and you might have to start later. Sorry youā€™re going through this :(

I just tell myself that if I had gotten covid, the brain fog definitely wouldā€™ve affected me 10x worse and maybe not have gone away. It does really suck though when you have to work 40 hours a week, people need to more clearly understand that it CAN mess you up for a while, even if itā€™s just so they can prepare to take off work if needed. Itā€™s been rough ngl

Yeah thatā€™s what Iā€™ve heard for some other people as well. My partners dad had brain fog for seven days and then suddenly woke up feeling completely clear. I canā€™t wait till it happens to me lol

Iā€™ve been taking some of that and I already notice a bit of a difference. I just gotta keep on it. Thanks so much for the tip!!!
