Q: What was your life like before you got the vaccine?
I was a vibrant, healthy, 32 year old with loads of energy to get me through my very physically demanding job. I enjoyed hiking, traveling, dining out, spending time with loved ones.
Q: What was your reaction, symptoms, & timeline?
I began having blurry vision and heart palpitations shortly after. Then 2 months post vax, came debilitating fatigue, heavy limbs, joint pain, balance issues, and numbness. I wasn’t able to work for 3 weeks. I returned but never got back to baseline. All of my symptoms came back in August plus some… vibrations, increased eye issues, ear issues, feeling like I’m on a moving boat, increased resting heart rate, weight loss, muscle weakness/loss and the list goes on.
Q: What was your life like after you got the vaccine?
I’m consumed by my health struggles. I’m constantly going to doctors appointments. My relationships aren’t the same as I am a shell of myself and can’t do the things I used to do. I had to resign from my job to focus on recovering. It’s been turned upside down.
Q: Share your experience with any medical care and any diagnoses you have received:
I haven’t gotten any official diagnoses, just talk of CFS/Fibro. Mainstream medicine hasn’t helped much but I found an integrative doc that has been wonderful and understanding.
Q: Was your reaction reported, and what was the response?
I reported to VAERS and got an acknowledgment of claim email.
Q: Is there anything that has helped, and have your symptoms improved?
I’m on a ton of supplements, diet changes.. not sure what’s helping. I’ve definitely improved but still unable to walk too long before I feel dizzy and with this constant tension in my legs that is so uncomfortable. Fatigue still there but not as debilitating.
Q: What do you wish others knew?
That you can be pro-vax and still be suffering with bad reactions. I’m not sure why everyone is so close minded. Healthy people don’t just all of a sudden have all similar symptoms affecting their lives. We know what the common denominator is.
Yes it's very sad that people are so closed minded especially the medical profession.
