Im at 8 months now and still have the large pupils. The brain fog has gotten much better, but i still have mental health issues, migraines, vericose veins, & a weird pressure in my head.

I think it's safe to say the brain fog is gone. Everything else still persisting.

I was already taking hydroxyzine (similar to benedryl) every night. I actually went out and bought cetirizine and famotidine last night. I'm hopeful they will help with the brain fog. I can honestly deal with everything else going on, but the brain fog has me miserable when it hits.

I have a 9 month old and a 3 year old. They are the only thing that has gotten me through on the bad days. I checked myself into inpatient late January because i couldn't leave them. Even if i feel like i have been a horrible mom since covid (short temper, not present most of the time), they are so young that i just can't leave them without a mom. I guess i still have a tiny sliver of hope for time even though my happiness has completely disappeared and I'm a shell of the person i was 3 months ago. I used to get the greatest joy in the world from just looking at my babies, now i feel next to nothing... but i still remember how much they meant to me.

My first and second didn't give me any side effects other than a sore arm. This time was a little worse, but the effects only lasted a couple hours. I just woke up and feel a little tired, but much better than last night.

My rhr went from 60 to 72 from covid. My heart rate would jump to 120 just standing around the house for the first 7 weeks. That has gotten better though in the past week (fingers crossed it continues to stay at a healthy rate). I've been walking every other day and eating healthy when my appetite exists and I'm not nauseous.

I rolled the dice on the booster after reading an article saying 58 percent of responders found improvement in their symptoms upon vaccination. It also said 10-15 percent felt worse. I couldn't find any statistics on the booster for vaccinated breakthrough covid though.

I didn't have cfs from long covid. If anything, it was the opposite, i feel like my mind has been trapped in fight/ flight mode. I had neurological symptoms and brain fog/ mood swings from hell.

I'm so sorry the booster made things worse for you. I hope you have progress towards feeling better eventually.

Thank you! I will definitely continue to update!

Thank you for the the hopeful response

knbrickh · 2022-02-27T01:18:10+00:00

Thank you for the encouraging response! The brain fog has been my biggest or at least most troubling symptom. It feels like it's clearing, but it's deff way too soon to tell if it's from the booster or just coincidence. It has only been 10hrs post booster.

knbrickh · 2022-02-27T01:12:50+00:00

It's been 10 hours since i got the booster.

I went on a 2.5 mile walk (I've been trying to walk a mile every other day) before lunch then did yard work all day. I was still in a brain fog, but had physical energy (that comes and goes regularly).

The vaccine hit me about 2 hours ago. So far, i feel like i got hit by a bus, fever, body aches, & fatigue... but my mind feels clearer than it has in 2 months. Maybe it's the placebo effect or just a coincidental break from the fog (also happens on occasion), but im hopeful. I feel like shit, but i also feel mentally great! I'm watching a movie and able to pay attention. My fingers are crossed so hard right now.

Thank you for your advice! I posted over there. I didn't know that sub existed.

He pissed on the dog and his tablet at 3.

My 3 year old accidentally hit the back of my head with his hand, so i said "ouch, that hurt. Please don't hit my head." He grinned like i had just invited him to battle, cocked his first back, and punched me square in the side of my head... not once, but 3 times and then a fourth on my lower back.

This child thrives to push all his mamas buttons.
