User Reviews for Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (PF)(EUA) intramuscular

Dat after I couldn't step down as I experienced what felt like a needle in the bottom of my foot, my toe was blue and feet were swollen. In the next two weeks my blood pressure began dropping to 66/44, and my fingertips and face went numb. Ive been diagnosed with immunodeficiency, orthostatic hypotension and small fiber neuropathy.

I had covid19 early March 2020 (before masks were mandated) and again Dec 2020. Diagnosed with long covid that still affects me now May 2023. After 1st Pfizer vaccine May 2021 and 2nd June 2021, I had mild side effects for a few days, mostly fatigue and a "floating" feeling. Long covid began improving a little. By August 2021 I was walking 2 miles per day and thankful for the stamina, although this was the extent of my daily energy. Because of compromised immunity, I received the booster Sept 2021. I developed myocarditis/pericarditis, began spot bleeding (9 years post menopausal), developed horrible digestive issues exacerbating my gastroparesis, began having headaches, POTS became worse (developed POTS during covid19 illness), and fibromyalgia flared up intensely - lasting still May 2023. I had to give up walking after the booster. Also gained 20+ lbs since first Pfizer vaccine 2021. I needed to gain a little as I lost weight during covid19 illness, but the last 10 - 15 lb weight gain came quickly after the booster in 2021. Eating well. Shouldn't have gained this much based on my nutritional intake. I was in favor of continuing boosters (until my horrible response to the first booster) and my cardiologist and primary doctors both advised against further boosters for me because of my immediate and long term effects from the vaccine booster. Disappointed because my health and my family's health have higher risk factors. With no updated boosters, still masking and taking precautions around others. Many have had no issues with the vaccines. That was me for the first 2 doses. Definitely NOT my experience with the 3rd dose (booster). I have often wondered how I would be feeling these past 1 3/4 years had I not taken the booster... Read More Read Less

Had two Astra Zeneca shots Jan 2021, after the required time received a phizer booster shot, felt normal at the time. That night when in bed, got wakened up with both my bicep muscles aching, had to try sleeping without lying on them, by the time morning came and I went to get out of bed i could tell things weren't right, i struggled to get up and found that i could barely stand or walk due to extreme pain over 50 percent of my body especially from my lower back down including joints and muscles and tendons including thighs and calves, took ibuprofen with little effect, went to the doctors, suggested i continue with ibuprofen and see how it goes, it has progressively gotten worse and now affecting my groin and hips, even steroidal anti inflammatories have very limited benefits but better than nothing, had occasional pain in knees prior to booster shot, now the pains are 24/7 and get noticeably worse when doing even moderate activity, even with the painkillers, to the point where it's too painful to continue, still waiting for an appointment to see a specialist, gps here not very knowledgeable on the matter or so it seems, now over a year since the phizer booster and been in pain since with associated restricted mobility, biggest regret ever getting that shot, won't be having any more, it has definitely eroded my quality of life immeasurably.Read More Read Less

2 days after getting the first shot I gained 30 30 pounds in 30 days. Then no weight gain. Few days after getting these second shot I again gained 30 lb in 30 days. I have always been fit with a high metabolism. I went from 105 and with no change in diet or activity level gained a total of 60 lb. This is caused extreme depression, I have no appetite whatsoever and the psychological impact.. I would have preferred to have died from covid than to be alive as I am now. Complete inability to move around without getting winded, exhausted and at times dizzy. This could be the depression, however even in times of depression in the past never resulted in these physical symptoms. I could going to detail about how there's no other cause or change in my life that could be an alternative explanation for the weight gain, I will simply say that I've looked at all other possibilities for it and the only one that is glaring is getting the shots. It has ruined my life because it is ruined the How of Who I am.Read More Read Less

had booster shot near end of January 2021 - February 2021 put on 18 pounds in less than a month. ZERO change in lifestyle or eating habits and weight had been exactly the same for over 10 years prior. No matter what I do, cannot lose this weight. No doubt rapid, unloseable weight gain was caused by vaccine.

That vaccine is really make my life miserable. I have lots of pain last 1yr.Plus I got pppd problem. I guess this vaccine has lots of long term side effects.

I got the first 2 Pfizer doses in March 2021 & April 2021, and 1 booster in Nov 2021. Since getting the shots, I’ve had rapid weight gain, which I’ve never experienced before. I’m an active 5’6” female & I went from being 135lbs on Aug 2021 to 150lbs a year later. I have never experienced this kind of weight gain in my life, I’m seeing numbers on the scale that I’ve never seen before! I’m convinced the vaccine did something to decrease my metabolism, or increase fat retention, or something like that. I’ve started going to Orange Theory 1 hour classes (mix of strength training and cardio) 4x/week since Sept 2022 & I still can’t drop the weight. I took blood/hormone tests in Oct 2022 & the dr says all of my levels are normal, nothing with my thyroid, but this weight gain makes no sense. I’m more active than I’ve ever been in my life, I don’t have an unhealthy diet, and yet I can’t drop the weight. Something isn’t right. I will say though that I got covid for my first (and so far only) time in Sept 2022 & it was very mild, so the vaccines did help there. I just had a high fever for a day or so, and light cold symptoms for a few days, but nothing that I even needed to take cold meds for.Read More Read Less

My muscles all felt very sore when doing anything after getting the first shot. I was told it would stop but hasn’t. Any time I do anything I feel like I’ve been working out for hours. My muscles all over my body burn when I do anything leading to me gaining weight because everything hurts.

Extremely painful and no guarantee that you are not contracting the vaccine. Moderna is probably best and yet no guarantee for anything. Very disappointing and yes probably better than dying, however multiple measures at the same time are required for a vaccination to be successful. The SARS in 2009 seemed to be better controlled. at least on Canadian soil.

Massive hair loss 2,5 months after 2nd Pfizer vaccine. Massive hair loss 2,5 months after Pfizer booster. I'm almost bald now. Well done Pfizer ??

Always had regular periods. Since having the second jab I am no longer ovulating or having periods. I know a few of my friends have also stopped their periods since having the second jab.

Got my vaccinations. No covid. Very minimal side effects.

The 73-year-old male blood type A positive had the shots October and November 2021. It is now September 2022. I feel miserable workout everyday for an hour plus 10 minutes lifting weights. Sorry I took the shot. In that time frame I've gained 15 lb after working out I feel like I have done nothing prior to that I felt refreshed after working out and now it just doesn't work

I haven’t caught covid either the regular 2 shots but ever since i’ve got it i’ve been feeling pains in my left arm randomly

My feet/ankles began to swell right after getting the 1st Covid vaccine. It has been getting worse over the past 9 months. I did not have any problem with my feet before getting the vaccine. I am currently working with my doctor.

Have had weight gain and inability to Lose it since getting fully vaccinated. I also got Covid twice since getting vaccinated.

Gained over 15 pounds since the covid vaccine! No changes in diet or food intake! I work in healthcare and still got covid after receiving 2 Pfizer vaccines and a booster.

I felt depression on and off Fatigue Weight gain

I had no other side effects other than it caused me to gain extreme weight, very quickly. this has resulted in other side effects due to the weight gain, such as depression, lack of sleep, loss of appetite. i gained double my weight in the last 4 months after my vaccine.
