Hi Gen  Thankyou for you kind comments and your good wishes
All is just the same with no improvement it is as if I have turned my head upsidedown
with a similar pressure

Paul  Have not heard from you for a few days. I know youre having your MRI sometime

I am having tingling still allover inc my head with tinitus as well my left heel and foot still numb and lose my balance. I still feel nauseated and as if my stomach is heavy.

Cathy   Hope you are feeling better now

I have not seen anything either on the internet on H1N1 vaccine damage  by a doctor but my neurologist said at the start this was from the vaccine.How this will change now this auto-immune stuff has appeared I shudder to think

Cheers for now

I have had ear pressure and head tingling since the beginning.  It stopped for a while but has returned.  Like you all, it comes on suddenly and can last for a few minutes to a couple of hours.  It can be scary, I sometime feel like I might be going deaf, but then I try and calm myself down by saying it will pass like it always does.  I had a few exams with the ENT who found nothing.  What the heck is this ear pressure, it so nuts and nothing seems to help; I just have to wait for it to pass.  I find our symptoms to be just crazy, what the f*#*# already.  What the heck did this horrible vaccine do long term to our bodies that is causing us to have these lingering symptoms.  Sorry to be such a Debbie downer, but I’m so angry today, I had a busy day yesterday and now I’m really paying for it, lots of leg pain, head and ear pain/tingling and fullness, a definite grrrrrrr day.

Corie – I do a lot of research on the internet and found nothing said about vaccine reactions from doctors, in fact, my doctor still refuses to believe this was a direct reaction to the vaccine, what a jerk. I think they turn a blind eye towards it becasue they want everyone else to get vaccinated so they don't have to,

Cathy – hang in there, you have a lot going on with the new job, your body has to adjust to working again.  It will, just give it time and TLC.  Glad you are working, that’s a big positive.  

Have a good day everyone.  Jackie

Hi, Cathy
Yes, I haven't noticed a doctor's response either to ANY immunization questions. What does that tell you? There is another warning that should be inc. for vaccines: get a reaction, you're own your own because (a) we either deny it or (b) don't know what the h--- to do for you! Yes, I feel crabby about the whole thing from time to time! Sorry to hear that you're feeling yucky today. Likely it's the new job and all the stress/excitement that goes with it. I remember going back to work and it was the same for me, but it got better over time. Happy for you, though, that you have landed a new gig!

I haven't been on here much lately because of many things going on, but I'm glad to see many people still here trying to reach out and help others. Special thank you to noVAX for connecting to us and letting us know your experience. I wish you a more speedier recovery than last time!  

Take care & I will try and catch-up with you again for my 8 month hell-nniversary

Ladies - nice to hear from you!  Hope all is well in your worlds :)

Gen - your post was a sight for my sore eyes (literally:) Really enjoyed reading and learning your news. Come on down to PEI anytime! It is a wondrous place with so much gentle beauty. Mum leaves this Thurs - I have mixed emotions...it is wonderful to have the support and I am going to miss her and her company very much. I am still experiencing a moderate amount of anxiety/difficulty with physical symptoms, plus the symptoms themselves, which like everyone, I am doing my best to manage.

Corie - haven't seen any medical posts at anytime and I have read every post. No doctors here - however so many, like you, who have medical backgrounds.

ugh tonite not so good - having alot of nervy symptoms that have flared up - not pleasant - I have developed a new twitching in my sternum area (middle of my chest) which is weird, and tonite I am buzzy and numb feeling in my extremities. Lots of vertigo feelings too. Shakey and yucky. I am thankful to have a place to dump this all out - and thankful that you all understand where I am coming from. Maybe it's just been an overly intense first week of work and I am off for a few days now and it has caught up with me. I also speak mostly French at work, which is new, so I am acclimating as best I can. Also, high expectations and work load and future travel so maybe that is all playing a part. Had lots of sensory nerve 'stuff' tonite. It's hard when it all flares up - This is so isolating at times, huh?

*Side note: Ativan has been a life saver for me - in fact, I have taken low doses for years now.  During my divorce, for fibromyalgia, super demanding work hours for many years, insomnia - you name it. I have not had too many issues during times when I haven't taken it but I definitely have relied on it at times.

God I hate this people. Very fed up tonite. Jeeez, enough already -  I want this to go away! GRRRRRRRRRR!

Take care and continued improvement to everyone,

Cathy

Thank You for your message.  I can definitely perceive changes and that is a positive thing.  I'm happy to read that some pain can accompany this nerve regeneration.  Puts me in a better frame of mind to deal with it.  My therapist often reminded me that the pain can't do any more harm to you.  The major event is over.  It's just pain. - Yeah, right.  As for the hand tingling, when you consider the nerve distribution in your arms going into the hand,  it is logical that you can get symptoms there as well.  I've also experienced that recently.  In fact, last week I had a giant buzz in my left hand that at first took me by surprise but didn't last too long. .  I also get that pressure change in my ear just as you describe - momentary and painless - no popping or anything close.  Lindac mentioned lingering arm problems in her recent message as well as an ear issue.  So it seems to be a recurrent theme here. (Good to hear from you Linda.)  We have to stop thinking the worst.  And as noVAX put it, just get on with life and that will help the recovery.  I know with me, summer is finally here.  And although I'm doing a whole lot more than I was a few months ago, I can't go out and do the things I'd like to do with gusto.  It can be frustrating and gets harder to remain patient.  This is my big problem at the moment.  Regards to all.

Greetings,
Lori-I'm glad you mentioned the ear pressure. Recently, I've been getting a sudden pressure change in my right ear, it lasts momentarily, disappears quickly and is not painful. Similar to an ear pressure change when flying. It seems to happen every few days, with no other head symptoms, no apparent allergies. Any one else experiencing this? I've also been having slight hand tingling, which is new. Ugh, every symptom makes me think the worst!
Gen-I know, all symptoms are annoying! However, the present tingling has replaced the previous burning in my lower legs and since the doc said this would indicate nerve regeneration, I find the tingling positive. Perhaps it's psychosomatic, but I'm enjoying it. A nurse friend mentioned that nerve regeneration may also be painful, besides tingly.
Hang in there y'all!
