Paula Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hello. My husband went through a painful one-month cycle on the right side. Three months ago. After +20 days pain free, he got the first dose of the Moderna vaccine and a new cycle started same day, on the left side this time. we do not know if it is related to the vaccine or just a coincidence. Has anyone had a cycle triggered by the Covid vaccine? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHfather Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 This has been discussed in other threads. I don't think there's a definitive answer, but I think for most people the vaccine wasn't a major trigger. Since there are several threads, you can see them by typing the word vaccine into the search bar at the top right of the page. Not sure you'll learn much, except that reactions vary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I had fever and was very tired after the second jab. No hits for either one fortunately. I did wait until I was well past my 'normal' cycle for a few months. I don't know for sure, but most of what I have read said 'no problem'. Did he begin another 'cycle' or experience 2-3 hits after the shot and then it quit? As in, he had a rogue hit or three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 He got his first vaccine dose less than a month after his cycle ended... and this dose triggered (or not, but was the same day!) another cycle — on the other side — and has been in a brutal cycle for the last 4 weeks (had second dose today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat_92 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hey Paula, I can’t speak for the vaccine because I haven’t received mine yet. But I did get diagnosed with covid last week, and my CH have been unrelenting. I am chronic, and may-sept are particularly bad for me. So it might just be a coincidence? Hope your hubby feels better soon! kat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because often a doctor who writes a prescription will have a preferred O2 supplier. Or are you without a prescription and looking for welding O2?

mit12 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I got my second Moderna shot the 27th of April. Did not get any hits at all. It definitely effected my arthritis for about 20 hours. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat_92 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 @Paula i got lucky and my primary care doc prescribed an O2 tank. He has since retired and I’m hoping to get my neuro to prescribe it in June when I go for my visit but I’m really keeping my fingers crossed. I am not sure about welding o2. I know there is someone else on the forum based in FL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBoss Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I was getting hit just before the shot. Now I'm stuck in an unbustable state for the first time but the odds were against me. Probably not tied together but you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunTimes Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I had both shots done and no change in my clusters at all. Pfizer is the one I had if that makes any difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebblesthecorgi Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I don’t think the vaccine itself will worsen a cycle. I do believe other states of inflammation will mitigate how bad a cycle can be. The injections do incite an immune response which is variable between individuals. The second shot seems to bring on more symptoms in people who have reactions. It’s even worse in folks who had the virus and chose to get the vaccine. I do think its worth considering the vaccine because COVID itself releases such an aggressive immune/inflammatory response it’s bound to exacerbate a cycle or make a chronic more miserable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braveheart Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Interesting, I've never had a migraine in my life and about 1.5 weeks after the Pfizer vaccine I've had headaches everyday for 2 months. I guess it just could be a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
