Increase in symptoms post vaccine

So I’m like 60 hours post vaccine and my neuro symptoms are flaring.

Has anyone else had this but it went away? Was sort of my worst nightmare. My sleep has been terrible again since, I woke up drenched in sweat and had to dry off three times last night.

I was finally feeling like I was making some major progress over the past month or so. I knew the vaccine could be a risk but I also was acutely sick in January for 3 weeks with what I thought was Covid (tested negative once). My neuro symptoms flared then so I figured I also run the risk of regressing if I catch Covid and maybe the vaccine won’t be so bad?

Maybe me being 25 has something to do with a strong immune response but I’m questioning if I’ll get the second dose of pfizer.

Loading up on the curcumin and glutathione. I even took a Tylenol last night.

Perhaps this is largely stress/anxiety induced but I’m not having a good time.

Dcd2103- Thanks for the reassurance. I also had a similar suspicion but it’s hard to remain calm in the thick of it even though we know stressing doesn’t help either..

Was the second dose easier, worse or the same?

I had my first vaccine in January and did well. The second was mid February and have had a flare up ever since. It started to get real bad a few weeks after the second with intense symptoms lasting a month. I’m still up and down but not as bad. I had the Pfizer shot. I’ve talked and read many with lyme that received the vaccine. It seems some people the symptoms hang on and some they go away fast. It also messed with my mensural cycle. I totally regret getting the vaccine. I’m wondering if I would have been better off getting covid at this point.

So I know generally people say the second vaccine shot is worst than the first. But for people who had covid the first vaccine shot acts like the second vaccine shot. My brother and sister in law got covid and I think they confirmed this. Their actual second shot was not as bad as first. Neither of them have Lyme though.

Thanks for the responses everyone.
Quick update - Today was overall a bit better than yesterday. Yesterday I barely left the couch but today I was able to get over to a friend’s place. Still a little nervous but trying to relax and hope things go back into place. Waiting until then to decide if I’ll get a second dose. I believe in vaccines and that Covid is generally a worse risk to the community but this experience was unexpected. I’m also considering the possibility of over activating my limbic system due to stress/anxiety around it.

Perhaps I’ll start back up some DNRS rounds tonight before bed.

Update #2 - I'm probably 90% to pre shot baseline now. Some lingering headaches and this dizzy feeling that comes and goes. I expect it to slowly go away.

I'll probably get the second shot in hopes I was one of the people who react worse to the first one.
My advice to anyone planning to get theirs - be ok with symptom increases for at least a week after. Stress compounds the issue.
