What you are describing is completely unrelated.
> Anyways. Omega 3 helped me.
Helped you on what?
> Our behavioral study showed that administration of SARS‑CoV‑2 spike protein S1 subunit (S1 protein) to mouse hippocampus induced cognitive deficit and anxiety‑like behavior in vivo.
About the BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA vaccine Wikipedia says:
> It is composed of nucleoside-modified mRNA (modRNA) encoding a mutated form of the full-length spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, which is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. [1]
So it seems it's at least the other way around. To me it doesn't sound too far fetched to consider that vaccines might have similar effects. But I am not a doctor either so this is just speculation.

I wouldn't be putting up this stink if I wasn't sure this applied to me somehow. The headaches were shit to put up with, the mental fog I was able to deal with and get rid of, but the anxiety just did not fucking quit.
Not till I started using omega 3. I really want this looked into if possible.
Forgive my mistake folks. I did say I'm not a doctor afterall...
I started having this three weeks after I tested positive for COVID this past January. During the first month after it started, I had several nights where I woke up from chest pain. One night started with my left arm being very numb, followed by my chest feeling tight, then my entire chest feeling probably the most adrenaline I've ever felt, and then the worst panic attack of my life.
I've been to the ER several times, had multiple ECGs done, multiple rounds of blood work, a sonogram, and a CT scan. Because no one can find anything wrong, it's just been diagnosed as anxiety. I've basically been unable to work for over two months now while I seek treatment and the right medication combination from a psychiatrist. Calming down and taking medication for anxiety does help, but I still wake up at night sometimes with what feels like rapid/irregular heart beating.
I'm twenty-four years old. I got my third shot of Moderna's vaccine in November, 2021.

According to the study referenced in this article, 19% of people who catch Omicron have chest pain as a symptom.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/health/covid-cardiovascular-c....
A Veteran's Affairs study of 153,000 veterans shows that people who got (Wild strain, which is pre-Alpha, pre-Delta, and pre-Omicron) COVID are 60% more likely to develop cardiac complications.
There is at least some evidence that spike protein may circulate in exosomes for up to four months after vaccination, although whether any of this would be likely to cross the blood-brain barrier, I don't know: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34654691/
So forgive me for being a little quick to take the jump on this one. Seems pretty apt quite frankly.
AT the end of the day, the symptoms they mention are what I felt. This is not hypochondria or illness anxiety disorder as referenced as now apparently.
I was actually concerned that it was possibly just my mind playing tricks on me. But taking things like omega 3 seem to have helped, and not taking them from time to time seemed to make it worse again. Among some other things I was testing out before that.
So color me surprised when an article that states the very two symptoms I was experiencing appears. Hmmm... perhaps maybe the toxic people out there could fuck off and accept that some of us are not having the same fucking ride that the rest of you are, or believe is happening?
Is that so fucking hard? Not to be rude to you or anything, just being blunt and frank at this point because I'm kind of tired of this sites more toxic motherfuckers.

Mastocytosis, an inflammatory disease that involves mast cell (a type of immune cell) dysfunction, nearly always presents with what looks like terrible anxiety.
Look into glial activation and things that help with that.
If omega-3 helped, you may find several other things beneficial, as other people reported: quercetin and/or rutin (intracts with meds, check out the interactions first hand, pharmacists will be useful, you are on your own), etifoxine, low dose naltrexone, even benzodiazepines help with inflammation as well (diazepam and clonazepam inhibit some overactive immune cells). Others report that weekly shots of B12 helped (italian bell palsy protocols are 500-1000mcg weekly for 8 weeks)
All the best and speedy recovery.
Some things I should note that I didn't consider or think to mention earlier.
1. I've changed from one type of Omega-3 concoction to another. The first stuff I was using from Jamieson was the Wild Salmon & Fish oil 1,000mg pills. It took taking 2,000mg to 3,000mg daily without fail to reduce the symptoms.
Meanwhile, the new bottle I got is just other fish oils. The difference here seems to be something to do with triglycerides and the EPA and DHA amounts in these pills vs the original bottle. The OG bottle has basically 2.5x less than the 2nd bottle. Also from Jamieson.
The new bottle? I only take one pill every other day now, maybe skipping til a 3rd day. Haven't tested further beyond that yet. From this very basic and rudimentary 'data', one could perhaps propose that the DHA and EPA amounts are part of what is helping here, since it falls in line with what I would have gotten with the larger dose of the original bottle of Omega-3 I got.
2. Also, The B vitamins are also in my system commonly anyways due to Centrum multivitamins. This obviously isn't as concentrated a dosage as taking a shot of it weekly; but daily consumption of the recommended dosage should keep things adequate I would think. That said, I really should get another bottle of B100 complex.
3. I don't take any other medications right now, beyond imbibing upon alcohol from time to time and enjoying some marijuana on a more common basis. That last one will increase anxiety for some people, but it's always been more of a relaxant for me. Barring of course the rare instances where I find myself in a bad spot from some strong stuff. Regardless of this however, I have been slowly reducing my usage of marijuana and swapping to more CBD based cartridges over high THC for just in case I am just sabotaging myself. To put this into perspective; none of this seems to have really changed anything much. Only the Omega-3 so far has had any noticeable effect. Even going without for a week did nothing. If anything, I was more irritable and anxious from being irritable. Which is why I started smoking weed to begin with long ago anyways, lmao. So even if this isn't helping, it's also not hurting anything? Sort of...
4. I've been trying to swap to more natural ways of dealing with my issues. I've known people on those benzo's and I just won't be going anywhere near those. The others though, I might look into. I'm not against using proper medication where it is appropriate. But I am definitely looking for ways to handle my issues on a more personal and natural basis. Why?
Because doctors/pharmacists aren't everywhere in Canada. Only in the cities and bigger towns really. And I don't intend on living in those forever, so I need to find ways to deal with my problems on my own to some degree, ya dig?
Anyways. Thanks for the help. Best of luck, and yes a high speed recovery is very much needed and hoped for.
It would seem strange if the vaccines are able to induce higher S protein antibody titers than a typical infection while producing an orders-of-magnitude lower level of S protein in the body (but perhaps I am wrong there -- the human immune system is full of counterintuitive and strange workings).

I have allergies. To dust, pollen, perfumes, etc. No foods, but the earth hates me essentially lol.
So that means my body goes into overdrive when it thinks it is being attacked. (As I understand in regards to the immune system and how its linked to my allergic attacks.)
I don't think I truly lost anything cognitively. I think I may have restored most of any loss that happened. But... I also forced my body to do a niacin flush and other things like that. Not recommending it. Just adding on what I was doing.
It's been in every autopsy report after report for TWO years. Time to maybe finally accept that viruses that infiltrate the brain can also cause neurological problems?
Personally, I thought Dark Ages were over, but then covid happened and it turns out people have really hard time accepting unpleasant truths. Post-viral syndromes are not well correlated to severity of illness. It can happen even after a relatively mild disease, and destroy your life.
Instead, people get questioned about their sanity. Witch trials next, I presume?
Why would I leave bait for people who I don't respect when it is clearly baiting them and I don't like them?
So... what am I supposed to say? Nothing? Fuck that.
