Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences.
However, the Pfizer vaccine did a number on my system and 3 months later, I am still not well…currently I’m awaiting test results from a Spinal Tap. I had a very moderate case of Covid in Jan ‘21 and after waiting 3 months, along with doctor discussions, my Pulmonologist suggested I would be ok to receive it. 69 hours later, I spent an entire weekend in the hospital with stroke-like symptoms. They finally diagnosed it as Vestibular Neuritis with severe vertigo. While the vertigo seemed to subside, 4 weeks later I was back in the hospital because of severe neurological symptoms. I was losing fine motor skills in my left hand, my left arm and leg can go numb from time to time, I have several migraines and headaches are almost daily, my speech has become impaired, I can’t sleep, along with a host of other daily symptoms. Since the first hospital stay, I have kept a daily record of my symptoms. My brain is mush (when I could remember things pretty well). My cognitive skills have declined drastically in the last 6 months. 4 doctors later, 3 CT scans, 3 MRIs, 2 weekend stays in the hospital and now a spinal tap, no one seems to know what is wrong other than to “suggest” Post Covid Syndrome. My neurologist has seen me twice now and is referring me to Duke because my MRIs have come back clear.

I’m a 37 year old wife and mom of 2 teens who I could keep up with. I was a grad student and now, it’s hard to get out of bed some days. Though, I push myself out everyday and make sure to give it my all as much as I can. I am very scared to even think about getting the 2nd dose and one of my doctors even suggested I may not need to. I do plan to report to VAERS, it’s just a matter of getting the energy long enough to do so.
