I do not have RSD (that I know of). I do have a lot of nerve pain though. I once injured the nerve in my right arm by having a blood pressure cuff get too tight. 5 years later it still hurts, and I rarely have anything medical done on my right arm. Blood draws and innoculations always get done on the left, as well as blood pressure.

I had 3 Pfizer vaccines at the recommended intervals, starting March 2021 and ending 3 weeks ago. The first 2 shots caused arm pain that never actually went away. I was treated with Toradol shots both times. They helped in the short term. When I got my booster 3 weeks ago I got the same arm pain and more. Now I have chest pain too as well as mild nausea and muscle weakness. We tried the toradol again, twice. Only short term relief. So far the diagnosis is pleurisy. I am too weak to even go grocery shopping. I was off work for a solid week and I have been to the ER once. I have a followup with a cardiologist next week. Pleurisy was not reported as an adverse reaction by the CDC so I reported it via VAERS. Nobody has followed up.

I am not an anti-vaxxer, but I do have deep moral concerns about the morality of Pfizer and the CDC.

I also work for a company that has federal contracts. This means that I am subject to vaccine mandates, whether or not I bill time to a federal project. This is not why I got vaccinated. I did it out of fear of dying from COVID. But after the suffering I have had for the past 3 weeks, I am pretty sure I would never try mRNA vaccine again.

Oh boy, a member on another group is a sub contractor for a huge military company and even thou she works from home, they are push push her to get the jabs and she will not, and so she involved with attorneys and lawsuits, this is in New Mexico. I'ts all so wrong the mandates. I've posted that I hear from people using NAC to work to detox their bodies of the jabs. So many are going thru so much damage.

I just got my booster shot last Monday the 3rd, with Moderna, both my shots were Pfizer.

And I have to say, I feel fine. Except for a sore arm and this time one killer of a headache (no migraine, so thank goodness), I really have nothing to complain about.

How are you guys all faring with the shots and your RSD?

Hi from the MS forum--

To answer your question, CRPSbe, I just had my COVID booster shot yesterday. It was Pfizer. The first shot was J&J in June, and so I was overdue for this because they're saying that J&J needed boosting after only 2 months.

It's been nearly 24 hours since the shot and I've had only a moderately sore arm. It helps a person's peace of mind to know that we've done what we can. There have now been 7 reported COVID cases in the building I live in, which has 58 units.

It's so scary these days isn't it?

Here in Belgium they were shortening the time between the shots & booster to 4 months. But I had to wait 6 months, and my mom is now waiting 4+ months already and she is well over 65 (76 in fact). And so my dad went a month later, for him it's still 3+ months but they are so boasting here they will have everyone "boostered" by February! I mean, if that's the case, they had better get on with it, hadn't they?

I have been vaccinated twice against COVID-19.

There is some variation depending on where you live (I am a resident of Australia) so the details are worth checking depending on where you live.

My mom, who is 76 finally got invited for her booster shot. They had been talking of shortening the time between vaccination 2 & booster from 6 months to 4 months. I just went January 3, and (after 6 months was supposed to even go December 26 but they had shut the centers down for the Holidays!) my mom now thankfully can go 4+ months in. My dad went a month later than mom, so he's probably still going to have to wait. But they were boasting of having everyone boostered by February! And we went by our vaccination center last Wednesday, we happened to pass the building, it was so calm there!
