Q: What was your life like before you got the vaccine?
I play college softball, I am a pitcher. I loved working out and would lift weights 3 or more days a week.
Q: Would you like to share your reasons for getting vaccinated?
This is my last year playing softball, and in the fall they had us get tested for Covid 3 days a week. We were told it would be hard for us to play, if we didn’t get the vaccine. They had other rules in place for the unvaccinated as well. I was totally against the vaccine over the summer, but due to the difficulty of playing without the vaccine, I was talked into getting it.
Q: What was your reaction, symptoms, & timeline?
9/13- second dose of Pfizer
9/21- about a week later I was at practice and my leg gave out, severe migraine
9/23-24 9/27- I was at weights, and I kept falling. My leg began shaking uncontrollably, and I couldn’t stand up.
10/16-17- mild headache
10/18- head pain, lasted 7-8 hours
11/6- head throbbing on top left and then top middle of head
Every couple of days I would have random sharp head pain that was very severe.
Head pain would come with speech problems, and I was often confused more than usual.
10/7- went to the neurologist and got a nerve conduction study done, and my nerves in my left leg were inflamed.
Q: What is your life like now, after getting the vaccine?
I couldn’t play softball or even walk well without falling for months. I did heavy physical therapy for a few months, and in January I had my second nerve conduction study. My neurologist said that my nerves were pretty much back to normal, so I started getting back to softball towards the end of January. I was able to start playing again in the middle of February and my leg was doing great for about two/three months. Over the past couple of weeks, my leg has been giving out/shaking again, and now I am having trouble just doing physical therapy again.
Q: Share your experience with any medical care and any diagnoses you have received:
Tests:
blood flow test
MRI on neck and brain
3 different types of blood work
nerve conduction study, EEG
All came back normal besides my nerve conduction study which showed my nerves in my left leg were inflamed. I went to a natural doctor and was put on many supplements, and I received PEMF therapy. That along with physical therapy helped for a while, but now my leg is declining again.
Q: Was your reaction reported?
VAERS
Q: Is there anything that has helped, and have your symptoms improved?
God honestly has placed his healing hand on me!!! How my leg improved so fast is honestly a miracle. I’m not sure why it is shaking and giving out again after it was fine for a few months, but I am keeping a positive attitude!
Q: Have you had Covid before?
I’ve never had Covid.
Q: What do you wish others knew?
There is nothing good about the vaccine. People will talk, but share your story!!! Others won’t know how bad the vaccine is, unless we all are brave enough to share our stories. You’re not alone!!! There are so many people who though the vaccine was good for them and are now paying big time for it. Pray constantly and rely on your support system to get you through this. Talk to someone if you need to. And don’t give up. God has already won this battle for you!!!
