I thought it was just me! I had two Pfizer shots in 2021 back to back. I had a bad reaction after the 2nd, I went to the doctors and reported it and I was dismissed. (she looked me in the eye and told me no other women have reported swelling underneath their armpits, extreme bleeding, etc. she was a damn liar!). Soon after I started having allergic reactions to food, on top of all the other long Covid symptoms. The allergy testing is what led to my Covid syndrome/long Covid diagnosis. They told me I was allergic to sunflower and sesame seeds and their oils and that I might have gluten intolerance. I cut those things out of my diet and still at least once a week, I’ll have an allergic reaction to something. I have eaten. Hives on my scalp, itchy, skin flushed, intestinal issues, etc.
I just kept searching for answers for why I felt so bad. Test after test, specialist after specialist. For years. Until I ended up back at the original immunologist I started at four years prior. After he looked through all my records and the testing done he said we’ve ruled everything else out, and with your symptoms, white blood cell counts, I believe you have Covid syndrome/ Long Covid.
