Moderna neurological problems

8 replies

Did anyone have neurological problems after Moderna?
I got my second one last week Friday and after developing a strong overall headache at first, the headache moved to my right temple and my right eye became light sensitive and felt swollen behind it. This is a bit better since Monday but last night I suddenly started to experience a weird kind of hearing loss / tinnitus type sensation in my right ear.
So worried where this will go :-(

I'll contact the GP later. Not sure what I do if sent to A&E. I don't have child care today and fear of delta makes it uncomfortable for me to sit in A&E for several hours :-(

I had a bad headache (it woke me up at 3am) the day after my first shot and it lasted for about 12 hours. Not after the second one though.
A friend of mine had the right side of her face go numb for several hours; she reported it to her doctor and he said it was a panic attack Hmm

Any covid cases at school.
I think i get pulsative tinnitus when covid goes around.
Or tinnitus can be low iron which can be further reduced with vaccines as i think it uses it to make antibodies

Tinnitus after covid and the vaccines is relatively common. I’ve had hearing loss and tinnitus since my vaccine. You should probably go to a and e in case hearing loss needs steroids as they can reverse ssnhl . It might just be a blocked ear causing the hearing loss though in which case it will recover.

Thanks. I've submitted an econsult (without mentioning the vaccine) and see what my GP says when they get in touch.
It's so annoying :-(

Can the GP not prescribe steroids?

I don't really want to go to A&E.

I've had hearing loss and tinnitus since my vaccine. Pfizer. Thought it might be hay fever but it's constant and unchanging.

Hearing came back this morning.
Still went to my GP appointment just in case. Nothing obvious going on, he thinks it's either stress or from the vaccine (even though he hasn't heard this as a side effect).

I had a bad headache after Moderna, which lasted a week. Was told by HCP that "we don't know much about Moderna, so it can't be side effects. Have you tried a mindfulness app?" ConfusedHmm
