Illinois
Q: What was your life like before you got the vaccine?
I was an active mother of two boys. I worked 40 hrs a week hard labor. Always took care of my family and home and always on the go.
Q: Would you like to share your reasons for getting vaccinated?
I got the vaccine because I wanted to protect the people around me, and I didn't want to live in fear anymore.
Q: What was your reaction, symptoms, & timeline?
Starting after my second dose, I noticed that I was dizzy everyday. I went to the ER and they diagnosed me with vertigo. At the time I didn't correlate it with the vaccine, but looking back now I realize it was probably related.
One day I was working and all of a sudden I felt something shift hard in my head. It sent me into a fight or flight response with this impending doom over my mind and body. I began to sweat and my heart raced along with sharp pains. I went to the ER and was told it was anxiety. I was still experiencing chest pains off and on for the next two months.
In October I had a 1 week bout of racing heart, palpitations and pain. Several more trips to the ER, EKGs, bloodwork, XRays, CT scans, echo and monitor, Dr visits.... All of them just told me it was anxiety and no one believed it to be vaccine related, or just told me they don't know and I'd be the first.
November took me out with racing heart, palpitations, irregular beats, hard beating, chest pains that range from aches to electric surges, electric shocks randomly all over, twitching, spasms, insomnia, flight or fight responses out of nowhere, brain fog, tingling hands and feet, icy burning inside my head, chest, stomach and legs, jolts out of my sleep, dystopia, leg weakness, tinnitus, fullness in my headaches in my lymph nodes, extreme thirst, weight loss. I'm sure i could be missing something.
Q: What is your life like now, after getting the vaccine?
Because of all of this, I have become unfunctional. It has taken a major toll on me mentally, emotionally and physically. A lot of nights I have been terrified to go to sleep. I'm extremely fearful because whats happening to me makes me feel like I'm dying.
Q: Share your experience with any medical care and any diagnoses you have received:
The regular doctors have been little to no help. I've been gaslighted, brushed off, not acknowledged, shrugged at, not validated and ridiculed. I have found a good holistic dr and put on a supplement and diet plan to detox and improve cellular health. I have been doing infrared therapy and vitamin/nad infusions. Soon I will be seeing a functional dr in hopes for some more answers or treatment. I will be seeking a 2nd opinion from a cardiologist soon since the 1st one said I was fine.
Q: Was your reaction reported, and what was the response?
I've tried to report to VAERS but it keeps kicking me off the website.
Q: Is there anything that has helped, and have your symptoms improved?
I think some of the supplements have helped especially for my heart and rest.
Q: Have you had Covid before? What was your experience if so?
I never caught covid. I confirmed that by checking my antibodies, and I only have antibodies related to the vaccine.
Q: What do you wish others knew?
I wish people wouldn't be so closed minded and dismissive to the fact that vaccine injury is real and prevalent. It's frustrating to be silenced, like we or I do not matter. I matter. I wish others would realize that the vaccine is not a one size fits all. I thought I made an informed decision, but realize now that it was based on what the media wanted me to believe.
