Q: What was your life like before you got the vaccine?
Happy and full of life. I enjoyed being out with friends, enjoyed shopping and going to eat out. I loved my job.
Q: Would you like to share your reasons for getting vaccinated?
In January, Covid was really bad here. One friend of mine ended up in the ICU and is still in a nursing home. They were not vaccinated. Work gave us notice to get the vaccine or get tested weekly, so I gave in and got the vaccine. I'm sorry I did it. The day after the 2nd shot, the court made the decision that we did not have to do that.
Q: What was your reaction, symptoms, & timeline?
After the 1st shot, I was fine. After the 2nd shot, Feb 1, 2022, it started with a metallic taste that came and went, then it would change to bittersweet, a dirt taste, then a chemical taste most of the time. I had a dry mouth. Then by Feb 28th, 2022, the chemical taste is constant. Food and water taste awful. I have an on and off ache in my left ear. Now it's starting to get worse at the end of March, 2022.
Q: What is your life like now, after getting the vaccine?
I'm depressed. I don't go out, don't cook food. It is awful. There is no enjoyment. No one understands this.
Q: Share your experience with any medical care and any diagnoses you have received:
Been to my PCP, gastrointestinal specialist, neurologist, ENT, endocrinologist, and holistic doctor. They can't help and they do believe it can be from vaccine.
Q: Was your reaction reported, and what was the response?
VAERS, Pfizer and the CDC. VAERS, after 6 weeks of calling me weekly to check, said at this point there is permanent damage.
Q: Is there anything that has helped, and have your symptoms improved?
No, they are getting worse. I'm afraid of what else will pop up from this shot. I try to find others this has happened to from the vaccine and have found around five so far, from all over.
Q: Have you had Covid before?
No, never tested positive or had any symptoms.
Q: What do you wish others knew?
This should be a reported side effect, even if very rare. If I knew this, I would never have gotten this vaccine. It changed my life and not for the better. It has caused me depression and sadness.
