Symptom narrative

I don't know which Moderna vaccine (Mnexspike or Spikevax) I got but it was the mRNA Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. I have my vaccine card if you need it. I got the first shot on 4/20/21 and the second shot on 5/18/21, and a booster shot on 1/2/22. The ringing in my right ear started in the late fall of 2022 and I still have it. It comes and goes but lasts all day when I have it. I also get dizzy sometimes. This has reduced the quality of my life. Also, I felt like I was going to die right after the 2nd shot. For about 24 hours I had constant vomiting, fever, sweating, and heaving, We were warned there could be a bad reaction but that it was normal so we didn't call 911. Looking back at it though I probably almost died. It was that bad. I've also had persistent coughing since the COVID vaccine. It comes out of the blue and lasts for about 5 minutes at a time.

Lab data
