I got COVID vaccine Jam 3rd and started having body wide twitches on Jan 17th. This has given me a ton of anxiety. Anyone have this experience?
Hey im going through the same thing. my whole body has weird nerve twiches and tingles. Idk when this will go away but im so uncomfortable
The same thing has been happening to me since I got my first dose on Jan 21. I didn’t get my 2nd dose because I was scared it would make it worse but the twitching has got worse anyway. Has the twitching subsided or gotten better for either of you? I am close to going to a neurologist because I am very concerned
I don’t know how accurate this is but i heard from one of my acquaintances that the side effects are less severe if you have been taking care of your health, ie clean eating, frequent exercise (at least thrice per week) and decent sleep hygiene (no less than 6-7 hours everyday). I myself haven’t been keeping up on all of the fronts so i’m not risking it and taking the vaccine yet until I’ve taken care of myself for at least half a year. If any of you are concerned you should very well visit a specialist. All the best and thank you for being brave!
oh my life yes!! ive just started a new thread about this. pfizer 5 weeks ago and twitching from day 4 now a tremor from 2 weeks in both hands and jaw. im a 38 year old healthy female! whats happened now? has it resolved? have you had the second dose? im worried to have mine again. ive been referred to neuro
same thing happening to me and it’s very annoying. 1st pfizer in May twitches including my head…I’m not getting my 2nd.
I’ve had bloods and even a ct and all normal. I have even seen immunologist who is also trying to say it’s not the pfizer ! I’m over this
Hi Kevon, I’m also experiencing similar symptoms. Do you still have the muscle twitches? Do you remember how long they took to go away?
Yes I have had the same issues! first shot at end of november
Yes, I’ve been having the same muscle twitching symptoms for 10 months now (since my 2nd COVID vaccination), mostly in my legs, sometimes forearms. Saw a neurologist. Nothing abnormal found on blood tests. Symptoms have toned down a bit since I’ve taken good B vitamins, esp. B-12. Not going away completely, but better. Also helpful is taking a Calcium supplement before bed and sometimes a homeopathic Leg Cramps tablet if needed. I’m a 66 year-old female.
Oh my gosh I am having the same thing a few days after my second booster. I feel a little better knowing others are having a similar experience. But it is driving me crazy. Has it gotten better for anyone yet?
Thanks Rebecca! I am going to be more diligent about taking my supplements and hope my symptoms tone down too.
Has anyone had muscle twitches start a few months after vaccines? It sounds like most of yours were immediate?
I did not get the vaccine, but i did have an anomaly event when having covid. IT started w muscle spasms after the 5th day and they became so severe I ended up in the ER (looked like I had Epilepsy). THey ran 38 tests MRi, ekg,eeg.. you name it they ran it.THey found nothing. In the end they gave me high doses of liquid Valium to arrest the spasms and they have never returned. First dose was so big, I passed out for 15 minutes. IT was like a nervous system reset. NO issues since. I know how horrible the spasms can be. Hopefully this info might help someone going thru this.
I have the same situation.
Yes, to the twitching. I had my last booster in November 2021 and currently have leg twitching all during the day. It is so bad that sometimes it feels like something is crawling on my legs. I also have very painful cramps in my legs at night, as well as during the day.
I suffer from osteo arthritis and for the past 4-5 months I have developed extreme pain in the upper part of my left leg, which sometimes makes it very painful to walk. My doctor took x-rays and an ultrasound to check for a Baker’s cyst or a possible blood clot. Both tests came out negative. He couldn’t find anything wrong! I’m convinced that these new and worsened symptoms are caused by the vaccine.

How many people on this site are still having symptoms months later?
100% happened to me about 3 weeks or so after getting the Moderna booster shot. It was awful. Started with eye twitch then went full body, arms, legs even my feet. Went to the hospital and was told to get rest and hydrate. I took it upon myself to go to the gym and exercise with light weights and some cardio. That absolutely helped. The entire experience lasted a few weeks before subsiding and then eventually going away. Seriously doubt I’d get another shot after that. It was a horrible experience.
my wife temporarily had pretty severe tremors on the left side of her body maybe 2 weeks after her 2nd Moderna shot.
she thought someone had slipped something into her drink or something at 1st. disoriented continued to appear more and more intoxicated even though she had not had a drink since hours earlier. eventually came the tremors and shaking. took her to ER. every single person at the hospital when they saw her symptoms asked if she had been vaccinated recently. I’m no conspiracy theorist but, I found it very odd. blood work came back fine. scans clear. they eventually got them under control with Valium and something else. I wish I remembered. possible that taking care of yourself does help prevent this, she is very health conscious, drinking may then aggravate it possibly.
the next day she was doing much better. they’ve not returned since luckily.
I don’t know if it is covid 19 or the vaccine that is causing my muscle twitching.
I have always played sports all my life, so I’m no stranger to muscle spasm/cramps.
I’m currently 50 years old, and I only do mild exercises.
In March 2020, early in the pandemic, I got really ill. However, I did not have the classic covid 19 symptoms. I experienced severe headache and pink eye.
A year later, I got the Moderna two dose shots with no apparent side effect.
A few months later, I had sever itching which the allergist attributed to timothy hay. At the same, I felt like small flies were touching my legs. That went away about a month later.
In late December 2021, I received the Moderna Booster shot. A week later, I was diagnosed with covid.
By late spring, I was experiencing muscle twitching all over my body, including my face and head. So my primary care referred me to a neurologist.
I had MRI of the brain and the cervical spine. The brain was normal, but there was a mild bulge in the cervical spine.
The neurologist determined that the bulge disk was not the issue, so he did and EMG. That also did not reveal any abnormalities.
He said it was benign, and I we may never find out what is causing it.
My muscle twitching continues. However, it is much milder.
