Hi there! @kuromi I’m so glad that my posts can serve as a source of positivity for someone on here. I always make sure to post when things are going particularly well just to give hope to others and give insight on my healing process. I currently haven’t gotten vaccinated yet. (1/3)
At first I was terrified because so many people were experiencing spikes in their tinnitus after getting vaccinated but I’ve done some research and seems like more people have experienced spikes from Moderna then Pfizer. I plan to get vaccinated soon though and will definitely get Pfizer. (2/3)
I’ll make sure to take some turmeric supplements a couple days prior to help me with any inflammation that may occur. Vaccine induced tinnitus seems like its also temp and can take 3-6 months to subside (at worst). I think its worth the risk and there’s no telling what the new COVID strains may cause! (3/3)
Quick update: Got my first dose of the vaccine two days ago! Went with Moderna and have not experienced any changes to my tinnitus thus far! Was feeling super nervous but realized that my chances of having my tinnitus worsen were much higher from COVID then from the actual vaccine. Also there are different variants of the virus now and I didn't want to take the risk. Hope this helps! @kuromi
@starrynights Thank you so much for the update! I'm relieved you didn't have any bad side effects. My shot's coming up this Tuesday and I feel the same way - COVID is much more of a risk in my opinion so I feel like I need to go ahead with the vaccine. :) Best of luck with your second shot.
