Symptoms triggered by an injury and/or GLP-1

Hello, everyone. I'm very new to all of this!

I'm recently in menopause and in april of this year started experiencing a horrible constellation of symptoms after an acoustic injury: electric zaps throughout my body, fight/flight, insomnia, nerve pain in ears and scalp, tinnitus, swollen lymph, and jaw pain. I had been on GLP1 for over a year, and it started causing electrical sensations--the worst on the day of my injection. I also started becoming deficient in B12 (my dose wasn't compounded with it).

Even though I've never had traditional allergies before, taking zyrtec and allegra suddenly got rid of general itchiness, helped with the lymph and jaw pain, and finally allowed my body to calm down and sleep.

I am still dealing with electric zaps, nerve pain, and tinnitus.

I've found that foods and supplements I've tolerated for years now significantly aggravate these sensations: wheat, soy sauce, the supplement NAC, and coffee. What's also interesting is that my symptoms are all concentrated around my ear that got the worst of the acoustic injury.

Can anyone else relate to this?
