In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I’ve had health issues I’ve never had before in my life, and they started 3 weeks after my first Pfizer vaccine.
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
for the first time in my life it was actually hard for me to just go about my day since my legs would seem to get really tired. I’d have to sit down at regular intervals.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
I still have the twitching and my legs don’t seem as strong as they used to be, but they also don’t seem as prone to tiredness as they were maybe 3 months ago. And the tingling has gone away.

Summary
The Reddit user developed muscle twitching and weak, easily tired legs three weeks after a first Pfizer vaccination in mid-2021, and was still twitching seven months later. A neurologist did not conclude it was a serious nerve disease. By January 2022 leg tiredness had eased and tingling had stopped, but twitching and reduced leg strength remained. Second and booster doses had no noticeable effect.
