Has anyone heard of or experienced Post Vaccine Syndrome me/cfs from COVID vaccine . I am desperately trying to get help for this debilitating condition here in Bangkok . Any help would me much appreciated thank you .

Yale researchers have identified distinct immune system irregularities in individuals experiencing Post-Vaccination Syndrome (PVS) following COVID-19 immunization. Key biological findings and symptoms of this rare, debilitating condition include: [1, 2, 3]

• Persistent Spike Protein: Elevated levels of circulating vaccine spike protein were detected in some PVS patients months or even years post-vaccination, a signature linked to immune dysregulation. [1, 2]

• Immune Cell Abnormalities: Studies found reduced circulating memory and effector CD4 helper T-cells and an increase in cytotoxic CD8 T-cells compared to healthy controls. [1]

• EBV Reactivation: Higher rates of recent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation were observed in PVS subjects. [1]

• Primary Symptoms: Patients frequently report burning sensations, peripheral neuropathy, numbness, exercise intolerance, brain fog, and severe fatigue. [1, 2, 3]

The research was conducted utilizing data from the Yale LISTEN Study to help define the clinical profile of this condition, though researchers stress that vaccine-related chronic illnesses remain incredibly rare and that the vaccines themselves have prevented millions of COVID-19 deaths. [1]

For detailed clinical descriptions and ongoing research, you can review the comprehensive findings published in the YaleNews Release or read the descriptive analysis in PubMed Central (PMC).

It is a known condition and indeed debilitating.

There are no authenticated cures but a physical routine of alternately standing on either leg, bending the other at the knee while stretching both arms out parallel to the ground and breathing deeply has proven to be beneficial in patients in a Mayo Clinic study.

Also, avoid food items that may cause gas. Gas is a known aggravator, while obviously a nuisance to caregivers.

This has nothing to do with anti-vaxx. It's real.

Yes this is very real and I also know about the spike protein and I am desperately trying to make sense of what is happening to my body and not give up but being basic’s bedridden this long has been unbearable  . Experiencing a profound physical collapse, living with relentless suffering and exercise intolerance , feeling isolated are incredibly heavy things to carry, and the Yale study has been one of many that has finally shown what is happening . The React19 website Home - React19 has connected me with others who have become disabled from the Pfizer Covid vaccine like myself but I have found little help with doctors here in Bangkok that are familiar with Post vaccination syndrome me/cfs and appreciate the replies here thank you . The Yale study and others have brought some awareness to Dr.’s but still very few know about how to address this very debilitating situation . Dr. Michael Maes in Bangkok  is a researcher and clinician focused on ME/CFS, neuro-inflammatory and oxidative stress aspects of the condition. He has worked in Bangkok (previously associated with clinics like Maes Clinics @ TRIA or Piyavate Hospital area). Contacting him may be helpful but looking for anyone that has had any help with post vaccine syndrome me/cfs here in Bangkok thank you again 🙏🏻

Have you checked out this? They are Thailand-based.

Thaipithaksith is an initiative from a group of doctors and other individuals who want to help people suffering from vaccine injuries. Regular doctors often do not see the correlation between symptoms and the vaccine. Even if they do, they are not equipped with the knowledge to deal with this.

Our doctors are on the front of the research about the injuries caused by vaccines and how to cure them. Do you have a vaccine injury? Please report on this site!

You might want to give Nicotine patches a try, as seem to help some folks. No personal experience myself. AI states mixed results, though doubtful the medical corporate world would endorse such a low cost solution.

Good Luck

Give this a Google for AI's thoughts ...

Thanks I rattlesnake and Khun LA , 

I have found so many suffering with the same situation I face all over the world with specifically post vaccine syndrome me/cfs but no one seems to get better and many like myself are feeling hopeless . The Yale LISTEN study, led by immunologist Dr. Akiko Iwasaki—along with research presented at international ME/CFS conferences, has explicitly validated what patients have known for years: Post-Acute COVID Vaccination Syndrome (PACVS) is a very real, somatic, physical illness that is devastating but few Dr.’s are knowledgeable about the details.

For those who are bedridden and severe, the reality is devastatingly hard, and the sheer lack of a clear, standard cure leaves too many people stranded in a system that doesn't know how to fix them yet. Bangkok is such a great place to be for medical care but like most places finding real help here has been nonexistent. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how corrosive it is for society, to have people dying and suffering from post vaccine syndrome me/cfs from the Covid shots, yet there's no official acknowledgement from federal governments, the media, or the medical community that this is happening and that this is a crisis. Again the Yale study and other led by Dr. Akiko Iwasaki at the Yale School of Medicine, research into post-vaccination syndrome (PVS) identified distinct immunological signatures in individuals like myself reporting debilitating chronic symptoms after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key findings from the study include:

• Persistent Spike Protein: Detectable SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was found in the bloodstream of some PVS participants long after vaccination. [1]

• Immune Dysregulation: Participants exhibited increased levels of inflammatory TNFα -expressing CD8+ T cells and reduced circulating memory and effector CD4+ T cells. [1, 2, 3]

• Overlapping Symptoms: Common symptoms reported include tingling/numbness, exercise intolerance, brain fog, neuropathy, and excessive fatigue. [1, 2]

Thanks for reading and possibly there are others here in Bangkok going through the same issues I am facing I can speak with .. I love living in Thailand and feel this place has such affordable and wonderful Dr.’s and medical facilities that if there is really anything available to help people like myself who are loosing hope I will possibly find it here 🙏🏻

I think you did the right thing by speaking out here, Medimedia. I am truly sorry for you, and hope you can get some relief. I tried hard, between 2021 and 2023, to dissuade people from taking these shots, but unfortunately, it was largely to no avail.

As you can see, those who are usually quick to come and give health advice in this subforum are nowhere to be seen in this thread. Nobody wants to hear or talk about the numerous injuries caused by the Covid vaccines.

Have you tried any detox protocols? I assume you have, as you have been in contact with React19.

All conditions are real and you should never dismiss something out of hand.

I am far from being an anti vaxer but I do have personal knowledge of someone who suffered an auto immune condition that was almost certainly brought about by one of the covid vaccines.

I also know someone else where an auto immune condition started after covid but has only recently been identified. With that condition there has been no indication as yet with any of the vaccines, but who knows for sure particularly when the same vaccine was involved.

Vaccine production involved various approaches, some more established than others.

Seems more difficult than before to get through a normal cold after COVID — I had the vaccines offered here in Thailand and once tested positive also — otherwise I'm Okay and presumably relative healthy.

Your symptoms sound like you could also suffer from Chronic fatigue syndrome.

How do you know it's vaccine related, have you had tests done, or are you just speculating?

I am not saying reading medical studies and applying them to your symptoms is bad, but it is only a start.

Well, I think for me it's the opposite. I haven't had a real cold (just the sniffles and a bit of a cough for a day or 2) in 4 years. I got vaccinated 4 years ago.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for suggesting Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) — I appreciate you replying. You’re right that a proper diagnosis is key, and I’m working with doctors on tests rather than just speculating.

I was healthy my whole life here in Thailand and worked out 2+ hours a day with zero issues. Then days after the vaccination, symptoms hit hard and I’ve been mostly bedridden since — that’s why the timeline stands out so clearly for me.

Since starting this thread, I’ve been connecting with many others on X and other platforms who describe nearly identical situations after their Covid shots. It’s been eye-opening (and honestly quite heavy) to see how many feel just as hopeless and isolated. The patterns match what some researchers describe in post-vaccination syndrome cases that overlap with CFS/ME. The Yale LISTEN Study, for example, has looked into immune differences and symptoms like severe fatigue and exercise intolerance: https://news.yale.edu/2025/02/19/immune-markers-post-vaccination-syndrome-indicate-future-research-directions

I’m continuing local medical evaluations here in Bangkok and would be very grateful for any recommendations — doctors, clinics, or approaches that have helped with similar symptoms. If you’re going through this too (even if quietly), feel free to share what’s worked for you.

Not here to debate vaccines broadly — just hoping to find practical help and understanding in my situation. Thanks again.

If you seek institutional medical advice, it is highly likely that they will diagnose you with "Long Covid" instead of telling you the truth, which is that your ailments were caused by the vaccine. If I were to offer a word of advice, it would be to check out the sources labelled as "conspiracist misinformation" by the pharmaceutical industry.

COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) is one of them. They are the primary group responsible for creating and popularizing an ivermectin-based protocol which has delivered promising results. They published a specific clinical guide called the I-RECOVER protocol:

• Ivermectin: Dosed at 0.2 mg/kg to 0.3 mg/kg body weight, taken daily. The protocol suggests a duration of 1 to 3 weeks, noting that it can be prolonged if symptoms persist.

• Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN): Begun at 1 mg daily and slowly titrated up to 1 mg daily to address systemic inflammation.

• Corticosteroids: Specifically Prednisone (10-15 mg daily daily for 3 weeks, followed by a taper) for severe inflammatory features.

• Nutritional Supplements: Daily high-dose Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Melatonin, and Curcumin (turmeric).

(I am sending this to you via PM too, in case it is removed).

Thank you for the information and for sharing the I-RECOVER details via PM as well — I appreciate you taking the time.

I haven’t had Covid (as far as I know), so my focus remains on the post-vaccination timeline in my case. I’m being careful and working with doctors here in Bangkok for proper evaluation and guidance rather than starting any protocols on my own. Self-treatment can be risky, especially when bedridden.

If anyone has experience with local doctors or clinics in Thailand who are open to discussing these kinds of persistent symptoms (whether labeled as post-vax, CFS/ME, or similar), that would be the most helpful for me right now. Appreciate the support in the thread.

I had one vaccination more or less to see whether it was as bad as they said and to see if my suspicions about the entire establishment could be right. "Bingo" on that one! I rather bizarrely discovered the "detoxification protocol" on my own through trial and error.

I stayed away from any medication because at that time no one even recognised vaccine injuries let alone treatment for them and I didn't want to make things worse.

My full recovery took about a year and it's a bit complicated to go into in detail.

Basically as soon as I realised there were things going on I cut out all processed food and carbohydrates (apart from some occasional rice). I fiddled around with my diet and discovered soya products occasionally made me feel better. I then developed a craving for pineapple (especially the stalks) and that seems to have been no coincidence.

I was already taking almost industrial quantities of turmeric which seemed to be helping too.

There was also a phase (fairly early on) where I had to take anti-histamine at night to deal with the cytokine dumps.

The last phase was vitamin supplementation to deal with chronic fatigue and general exercise intolerance.

PS I never had Covid and took only one vaccination.

Strange that the hardcore vax defenders are missing from this thread....

When Covid had spread to every country on earth, within weeks I knew the whole thing was a scam...

Even those tiny Island countries all had Covid all at once....Pleaseeee....

I would look into taking EDTA chelating agent...Used in "chelation therapy" to treat heavy metal poisoning.....

No telling what those vaxes had in them....EDTA could maybe help...Its worth a try...

A lot of misinformation and bad advise has accumulated on this thread.

First of all - post COVID 19- vaccine syndrome (PCVS, AKA "long Vax") and ME/CFS are different conditions, though ME/CFS like symptoms can be part of PCVS And, ME/CFS onset can be triggered by anything that stimulated the immune system, including any sort of vaccination and any sort of infection, even a common cold. Note that a trigger is not the same thing as a cause.

PCVS occurs, but is quite rare. One of the key diagnostic criteria (aside from exclusion of other causes of the symptoms) is a clear temporal relationship to most recent COVID vaccine. In PCVS, onset is sudden and rapid and happens within days to, at most, a week or two following vaccination. ME/CFS on the other hand can start at any time and onset is usually gradual. When exactly was your vaccination and when did symptoms start to be pronounced?

In addition, PCVS usually has a duration of a few months, occasionally a year or two, whereas ME/CFS tends to be chronic and can go on for decades.

Treatment for both is individual and supportive based on symptoms. Chelation therapy has not been shown to be beneficial and can have serious adverse effects, including kidney damage and seizures, so please do not go that route.

In terms of who to see for this, I would suggest this rheumatologist/Immunologist:

Bring all test results with you to avoid unncecessary repeat testing and expense.

Thank you very much for your detailed and helpful reply — I really appreciate you taking the time, especially on this sensitive topic.

My vaccination was in September 2021 at Bumrungrad. I went from being completely healthy and working out 2+ hours a day with no issues at all, to developing severe symptoms just a few days later. I’ve been mostly bedridden ever since . The sudden collapse and ongoing exercise intolerance, profound fatigue, and other symptoms have been life-destroying and feel almost identical to severe ME/CFS.

This has been an incredibly difficult, painful, and isolating experience for the past years. I’ve connected with many others worldwide in the exact same situation after their Covid shots, and unfortunately very few have seen meaningful recovery.

I’ll reach out to Dr. Hiroshi Chantaphakul at Bumrungrad and bring all my test results. Thanks again for the clear guidance — it means a lot.

Please let us know what he says. It could be helpful for others in the same situation.

Thanks for the suggestion to share what the doctor says — I’ll do that if there’s anything practical and appropriate to post from my appointment.

One of the main reasons I started this thread was to connect with anyone else in Thailand going through similar post-vaccination symptoms. On other platforms I’ve found many people with nearly identical stories — the sudden drop from a healthy, active life to severe, debilitating fatigue, exercise intolerance, and being mostly bedridden. It’s been eye-opening to see how others are coping with this level of suffering and disability on a daily basis.

If you’re dealing with something similar here in Bangkok/Thailand (even if quietly), I’d welcome hearing how you are coping.

When you say "bedridden", do you literally mean bedridden or more housebound due to lack of energy?

When it comes to fatigue, in my experience that relates to feeling like you want to go back to sleep when you literally got up just an hour before.

However exercise intolerance was something different. It was having the energy but just not being able to do it. So for instance I would think that I could walk for about 10 mins but after about 50 yards I knew I would have to turn back otherwise I would never make it back. It is something that is hard to describe. There were a number of times when I thought I could overcome it mentally but it just didn't work, it was absolutely physical. It is not the classic "out of breath" tired; it is something else - you literally can't function.

Does this make any sense? Does it relate to how you have felt or feel?

Thanks for your interest. The symptoms have been quite severe and life-altering (mostly bedridden with very limited activity), but I’d rather not go into more personal medical details publicly.

If you’re going through something similar, feel free to send me a PM and I can share more generally about what I’ve tried or learned. For now, I’m focusing on the upcoming appointment with the immunologist/rheumatologist recommended earlier.

Appreciate the support in the thread.

Yours sounds rather bad, sorry to hear that it has gone on for so long.

Let us know what happens at your upcoming appointment.

You might also want to look up Dr. Tina Peers online. She has had a lot of success advising people who have suffered from Long Covid and vaccine injuries.

CFS is real, and real treatment can produce real results. Whether your CFS was caused by the COVID vaccine or not is beside the point. Trying to figure that out is a waste of time.

It seems you don't want to " talk "about the millions of lives saved by covid vax. "Health advice" works both ways. I prefer to listen to the experts who review all the data and give their best professional assesment of the risk/rewards then a poster on the internet.

I doubt any vax or medicine ever used did not have a few people that reacted badly. That does not negate the tremendous pain and suffering that millions upon millions avoided by using vax and medications for a wide variety of ailments.

Those side effects cost the Thai government almost 2 biliion Baht and there were many who did not receive any compensation.
