I have had the muscle twitching also.
Started about two weeks after injection.
About eleven months so far.
19 mnths after my first pfizer im still twitching
I developed twitching on my right elbow after first dose and the leg after second dose of Pfizer. Nearly two years and it is still there.
Hi,
I hope you’re still checking this page.
I had 2 pfizer shots with no problem. I had the third at the 6 month mark and two months later the muscle twitching began. It started like clockwork in my right leg- over and over in the same place without stopping- so frequent even my PCP saw it in office.
Three days later it spread over my entire body and hasn’t stopped for a single day. It has almost been a year of this with no relief.
I have had thousands in workups including:
Brain MRI
EMG-noted the twitching
Vascular ultrasound
CT scan
Thyroid biopsy to rule out a nodule
Rheumatology workup and genetic test
Endocrinology work up
Three sep. neurology consults
Repeated full panel of blood work
The only thing I know is I have a mildly elevated autoimmune titer with no diagnosis after extensive testing, including genetics, from a specialized lab in CA.
I was pro-vaccine and pro-science, but the more I read and the longer I live with this I believe I had an adverse reaction and there are starting to be medical journals exploring this symptom. The medical community, with one exception, has told me they’ve never heard of muscle twitching from the shot. Other than trying magnesium no one has any suggestions of how to treat this and it’s almost impossible to find others to talk to because anything that seems anti-vax gets shut down on social media.
I am not a conspiracy theorist. I need to find answers on how to treat this.
The only other remarkable thing was that my PCP noted significantly poor blood flow to my toes around the time this began. That triggered the vascular and rheumatology workups. That issue does seem better.
If there are any doctors or clinics studying adverse vaccine reactions I would so appreciate the information.
I got my 3rd and final jab 10/3/21. about 6 months ago I started to have this twitching thing start happening mostly in my arm but something in my should and neck area also. They would last about a minute and sometimes longer and ever couple of days. It started to increase a few months ago but it’s back to one or two a week. I just had one today so I decided to search it, that’s how I found this place. I never ever thought it could be the jab, but yes it very well could be.
24 months after my initial series of Pfizer and still twitching all over my body but predominantly bilateral calves. also aching low back pain . leg cramping lasted a year but did resolve. worst 2 years of my life mostly worried about ALS. Testing in the first year (2021) was negative wish i could ignore it but im a physician so its impossible not to think the worst but 2 years with daily twitching and still no weakness wish i could say it resolves and i sure hope it does but i take good days when they come wish i found this forum sooner
Hey there, just wondering how everyone is going on this thread?..Or is the thread still current. I’ve only just found it after googling my husband’s symptoms!
Thank goodness this is being shared! It’s been difficult finding info on this topic.
About 3 weeks after my second shot (May 2021) I started having an occasional small twitch in my right calf. By the fall it had become continual along with internal vibrations (like an electric toothbrush was inside me). I’ve had brain and upper cervical MRIs, nerve conduction test, seen a neurologist, and a doctor who specialized with Covid treatments. No one has been able to give me a clear answer, and I’m tired of spending money for tests and appointments and getting no relief. I’ve been trying to eat more of an anti inflammatory diet, take turmeric, B vitamins, Omegas. The twitching is now in both legs and occasionally in my upper arms. Fatigue hits from time to time, but is much better than it was. I walk daily and try to be active and that helps. I’ve wondered about hyperbaric therapy or cryotherapy. Its comforting to know I’m not alone. Please keep sharing anything that helps!
bro same, i had it straight after my second vaccine on my hand then it stopped and now its back and worse and the twitches are everywhere :\
Hi Kevon, I’ve been having twitches, burning sensations, prickling skin, aches all kinds of strange sensations all over my body. From my scalp down to my feet and everywhere in between. I get flare ups when it is bad and days when all symptoms go away. This started a few weeks after my first vaccine (AstraZeneca) and i had two shots of Moderna after that. My symptoms have gotten worse and the flare ups occur more regularly and persist for longer. The worst symptom is insomnia though. I had to drop out of university because of it. I just couldn’t focus from the lack of sleep. This has been going on since March 2021. I feel like I’m going out of my mind. Had blood tests and MRI on brain and spine but everything was normal. I saw a neurologist who has made an appointment for an EMG test which I will do in a couple of weeks.
I am so worried this will stay with me for the rest of my life or get worse. I was very fit and healthy before all of this.
I still go to the gym so my strength, balance and coordination haven’t been affected and I don’t think i am losing muscle mass.
do you still have your symptoms? Has anybody else here gotten an answer from their health professional? I would really appreciate any information/ advice. I hope everyone gets well soon. Harry
Hi Donna, I hope you are feeling better. please read the bellow message i sent in this thread. Do my symptoms sound like yours?
All the best,
Harry

It feels like thumps under my skin in random locations. I’ve only been able to capture it once on video. I received the injection in 2021 but this started in 2022z
I came here just researching to see if others were having this same issue.
I got mine in October of 2021 and I’m experiencing these all over. I’ve also been diagnosed with migraines since which i never had prior. All scans were normal not even the neurologist could explain the twitching.
What did the scalp sensations feel like? Mine felt like a chill over the top of my head. The neurologist explained that some people get that sensation before migraines began but that is something i never had issues with prior.
Yes! I received the Phizer late 2021 and the twitching didn’t start until late 2022 along with migraines. I’ve seen a neurologist and all labs and scans were normal. Another strange symptom for me are the magnetic arms. My family members have witnessed it and till this day refrigerator magnets and coins still stick on the exact spot of the jab.
hey guys, i had the first dose of pfizer 2 years ago and ive had muscle twitches all over my body ever since, starting an hour after the vaccine where the twitches started in my tongue. They were more intense in the beginning but im still getting them daily and they’re much more noticeable when im sitting down or in bed. ive seen a neurologist and he just said its common and that my immune system is very good, no scientific explanation as to why im getting them. ive had bloods and a ct scan which came back clear. ive had this for two years now and im really concerned this is permanent. has anyone else had it for this long? im not sure if im being paranoid but i feel like my speech has deteriorated over the last year as well, stuttering and messing up words all the time. i was never articulate but i feel like every sentence is a struggle. not sure if its related but has anyone had other symptoms along with the twitches? my biggest regret was taking this poison.
i have similar symptoms which started 2 days after my pfizer. twitching , weakness in legs, tingling pricking in finger tips and toes , vibration feelings , insomnia etc dry eyes now things seem to be getting worse.
I’ve seen 2 neurologists, had emg nerve tests , brain and spine mri , bloods and everything is normal. I’ve researched myself and I think I have dysautonomia and small fibre neuropathy. I’m struggling finding answers to all this and worried about what’s coming next.
had scalp twitching that spread to legs arms and eyes. I still get these
I had the one JJ. its been a about 2 years. I have been miserable ever since. My lymph nodes in my neck swelled so huge that my doctor didn’t know what to think and they are still there. I’ve had ultrasounds and I’ve had blood work. My bloodwork shows that my ANA levels are extremely low. Meaning, my immune system is basically gone, I was perfect before the shot. I have been twitching ever since and the twitching started in my right arm of the shot and now it has progressed all over my body. Mostly my calves. I take all kinds of supplements and I’m a 51-year-old healthy female. I can guarantee you the shot has destroyed me. My feet hurt all the time now to the point where I can’t take my walks and I used to walk an hour per day. My elbows ache. And I am constantly fearing I have taken this poison and am going to die. My best friend was diagnosed with rectal cancer of all things and she was 46 years old. She had two Pfizer‘s and the doctor said the tumor looked to be new but it was already stage two when she had it discovered she’s going to be fine because they caught it early. Thank God, but I fully blame the vaccine same thing with my aunt dying of a massive stroke for no reason at all at 72 and my best friends, mom having sudden onset stage four pancreatic cancer with no symptoms and dying three months later . My aunts best friend had the exact same thing happened out of nowhere. No symptoms just one day went into the ER with pain and they said she had stage four pancreatic cancer. I don’t know very many people that survive even a day without symptoms of pancreatic cancer it doesn’t come on in one day. She died three days later. My moms arm has twitch since the day of her vaccine as well. It shakes so hard that she can’t pick things up anymore with her right hand. The list goes on and on and on my son had his reaction too and I regret ever letting him get it. He was so sick and had two years of unexplained ear pain and exzema. He finally got do pics sent and we thought it was going to be the answer to his eczema and instead he ended up in the ER with a swollen tongue. There is a definite link between vaccines and Dupixent shots. They do not let you get vaccines while on the Dupixent- the vaccine is still probably in his body roaming around two years later and that is why he reacted to the Dupixent . And with my daughter. Her periods are so violent at the age of 15 that it’s incomprehensible. My period came back after it was disappearing and now it’s heavier than it’s ever been and my doctor said yes she does agree that it probably is the vaccine, but she is not willing to look at the twitching and says it’s probably just stress. It’s not stress for 2 years. I am so angry … I blame every last person that pushed this on us. I wish so badly I hadn’t fallen for it and that we hadn’t caved in. Our restaurants, schools, airplanes, college, work we were all forced. Its the saddest thing.
