New York
18 yrs old
Q: What was your life like before you got the vaccine?
Life before the vaccine was great. I was a full time college student and part time pharmacy technician. I exercised daily, and enjoyed free time with my boyfriend.
Q: Would you like to share your reasons for getting vaccinated?
I got the vaccine, because my primary urged me to after having 5 patients die in 1 week from Covid.
Q: What was your reaction, symptoms, & timeline?
Within one week of my 2nd dose, I developed pelvic pain which escalated. I spent 4 days inpatient for pain management. Then 4 days after being discharged, I developed severe tremors before going to bed. I woke up the next morning unable to move anything from the waist down. My parents drove me to a large University hospital 2 hours away in hopes of better care. My heart rate was 135, my upper body was twitching uncontrollably, and I had severe head pain. I couldn’t move my legs or feet, but they also were in excruciating pain. I spent over 2 weeks inpatient as they ran all types of tests. I slowly started to regain some movement but still cannot walk more than 100 ft without feeling like I ran a marathon and collapsing.
Q: What is your life like now, after getting the vaccine?
My life now is pretty non-existent other than doctor appointments. Luckily my family and boyfriend have stuck by me, but I feel very secluded. I never feel well enough to do anything.
Q: Share your experience with any medical care and any diagnoses you have received:
The Neurologist who originally treated me told me she thought it was conversion disorder. Then the Infectious Disease doctor told me he had a patient in their Pfizer trial who had very similar reactions, however offered no treatment to get me better.
Q: Was your reaction reported, and what was the response?
I have reported to VAERS and gotten no response. I also reported to Pfizer. They have sent me 2 different questionnaires, but that’s it.
Q: Is there anything that has helped, and have your symptoms improved?
My symptoms don’t seem to be improving significantly. I receive IV Glutathione and Infuvite infusions that perk me up a little short term, but within 24 hours I’m back to being in bed.
Q: Have you had Covid before? What was your experience if so?
I had Covid in December 2020. It felt like the flu for 2 days, and I was fine after. No lasting effects.
Q: What do you wish others knew?
I just wish people knew the real risks. Being told the benefits outweigh the risks is far from accurate.
