Vaccine Adverse Effects Register

Had my first shot last Tuesday. Almost passed out from the shot. Went home. The next day I awoke to a numb leg, arm, and huge chest pain. Also extremely tired. I called healthline who advised me to visit my GP. I couldn’t see him as he was too busy so visited a local GP. They admitted me to Middlemore Hospital. I had a covid test which made my noise bleed. I then sat in the waiting room with a blood nose and chest pain crying scared for my life for 2 hours. Once I was eventually called into the hospital there was no room. I had my ecg test sitting up in the area the nurses do there paper work. It came back fine I had a blood test and was told I could await the results in the car in the car park.. I had chest pain, a numb leg and arm and was scared.. I returned to the car. the blood test came back clear I was told to go home and rest. The next day I awoke and couldn’t put pressure on my left leg the numb one. Shooting pain in my upper leg was unbearable. I returned to the GP who told me to take ibuprofen and rest. I have rested for 6 days now. Not moving in bed. Scared, with chest pain, a numb leg and arm. My mental health is deteriorating, I’m scared my two young boys won’t have a dad. I called my GP today to see if he could help. He bought up my records and all he could see was that I had had a sore arm from the covid jab. That was it. I couldn’t believe it. I explained what happened to him. He just suggested another blood test. I asked to be tested for a blood clot. He just kept saying the vaccine was safe and that the blood test was the only thing we could do. I was a fit healthy 33 year old male 6 days ago going about my life raising my sons and loving my partner. Now I am reduced to my bed scared, crying, not knowing what the future holds. I had the vaccine to be safe to protect my family.. NO ONE IN THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY SEEMS TO CARE. I have being told so many similar stories. So So many.

Day 7 still in bed symptoms have not gotten any better.

Received covid vaccine dose #1 into left arm, 1 hour later had pins and needles down left arm. By that evening (3-4 hours later) had constant altered sensation in left arm.

Next day , same symptoms in right arm, could not type or write as my arms felt numb amd painful when I bent my arms.

Had to take 2 days off, symptoms slowly resolved over 2-3 weeks

Got the second dose (I’m a medical student and we were ‘encouraged’ to get vaccinated) same symptoms + fever + fatigue.

Symptoms slowly resolved over 2-3 weeks.

Made a report to CARM and saw 2 GP’s.

I got my 1st vaccination, being reluctant and feeling it was a forced due to being a student studying a Diploma in IT.

I had it on 14 September 2021 at 1.30pm at E Tu Pasifika Vaccination Centre.  During the injection entry I felt instant pain, and on exit of needle I bled.

My arm was very sore, I was told bleeding was normal and the pain is too and it would subside.

After first week my shoulder, arm and neck were all stiff and sore and limiting my ability to move and do things.  I spend the weekend in bed with severe headaches and my blood pressure was very high when I went to the Dr the following Tuesday 21st September, and I went back to see the nurse on Friday to track the blood pressure.  I was given an increased dosage of Candestarten from 8mg to 32mg.  I was also given Felodipine, I went back to Dr again the following week and Blood pressure was still high.  I can get all the recordings from the Dr notes this week when I go back.

Please forgive the bad english, possibly bad spelling and punctuation as my brain is still not right atm.

I was one completely against this vaccine but I also have bronchiectasis and my girls have asthma so I was hassled quite a bit so decided to just give up and take it.

1st jab was fine, just classic sore arm.

2nd Jab 3.30pm 7th October
‘Immediate’ reaction (literally as nurse was pulling needle out) of metallic taste in throat (a billion times worse than a saline flush in a lure in hospital). This led to burst of heat in my throat like I had swallowed concentrated acid. This in turned swelled my throat and made me feel like I couldn’t breathe. My head felt dizzy, spaced out and I don’t really recall what happened in a min or 2 because of it. (Nurse told me to get on floor but I don’t remember how I got there, nurse said she screamed and apologised to other nurses because of it but I don’t remember that or a few more things).
When I came round a bit more they sat me up and gave me water to drink as my throat felt like it had been burnt out. I couldn’t talk properly because of it. My head felt weird like I was away with the fairies. They gave me antihistamines and watched me for quite a while and did obs regularly.
When all this was happening, one thing I did say was don’t jab my kids (who were in the waiting room waiting for theirs). When I was put out to be watched and in no state to argue they still asked my kids to come in to be jabbed. My kids were frightened as they had been told what happened, but nurse then told them that I just had been weird and I was ok and it won’t happen to them. I guess adults really have no say?!

When they let me go home I wasn’t right still. My husband brought me gaviscon, strepsils and iceblocks (which I found I couldn’t eat anyway) because my throat was so swollen from that acid feeling.
That evening my head and neck swelled causing a lot of pressure. I rang healthline. They contacted the oncall doctor who said for me just to take another antihistamine and I will be fine. Then I started acting drunk.
About 7pm I got so exhausted I couldn’t stay awake. I slept the next 40 hours. When my husband would wake me I was still acting drunk.
When I did get up eventually I just fell asleep again after a short while. This kept happening. I just couldn’t stay awake.
My throat wouldn’t stop swelling. My brain would always feel like I was away with the fairies, I’d have headaches, I was slower than normal etc.

I went to the drs on Monday and explained everything and got told to ‘rest’ I said seriously?!
He did an ecg and bloods to make sure it hadn’t affected my heart which came back negative.
On wednesday my left side of my bodies lymph glands all swelled up, (along with pain in the left of my chest) I was prewarned this was a normal response to side that was jabbed. But today, Saturday (one week and 2 days after the jab) my right side is now also swollen.
Out of 24 hours a day I am probably spending at least 20 of them lying down now either sleeping or trying to stop myself feeling sick.
I either haven’t been able to eat due to sleeping, haven’t felt like eating or have felt like eating but start then feel sick. I’ve had lots of nausea (my bucket stays near me).

I feel like if I go back to the drs they are programmed to say just get rest because they aren’t allowed to say anything negative about the jab at all.

Still wondering how long this is all going to last….

My dad had a mini stroke the day after his vaccine. He is a very healthy man and physically he was not at high risk

Issue was reported to CARM but upon inquiry they informed us that there was no way to prove the stroke was from the vaccine as strokes happen every 45min in NZ.

After receiving the first dose (6/5/21) I felt weak and drowsy.

I had mouth discomfort and within a week I developed blisters in my mouth. The GP gave me a lidocaine mouth wash and it took me almost a week to recover; maybe more. In the same time I experienced chest discomfort and palpitations. The drowsiness effect was pretty strong too.

Im a Healthy female in my late 20s with no serious underlying health issues , some seasonal hayfever and asthma that’s it. After becoming aware I may not get to travel without being vaccinated and a lot of 50/50 thoughts I went and had it.

I had the 1st dose of pfizer a fortnight ago, Within the first week I was unable to exercise properly, as I would become light headed and need to stop. I had on and off heart palpitations over the week with some chest discomfort and a strange feeling left arm, like tingling and numbness at times, note this was not my jab arm that was the right side. I felt paranoid about my cardiovascular system.  Currently into the 2nd week the palpitations have subsided and I am feeling better however I am still going for a GP visit this week to get a health check and voice my concerns about this reaction as it had made me uncomfortable and I now don’t feel comfortable with a 2nd dose.

Thanks
