VAERS reporting of symptoms after COVID-19 vaccine

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.

This is a great write up. Would like permission to copy and share. I've said some of the same things only not as well as you have put it. Thank you.

You can get financial help from the government. you need to file VAERS before 1 year after the vaccine and also go to the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program website. You need to do this well before the year deadline.

Thank you for the information. What all do you know about this?

Lisa & @mermaid77 I believe this act covers those who manufacture, test or administer the vaccines, not those who receive it. See https://www.phe.gov/emergency/events/COVID19/Documents/covid19-vaccination-wrkfrc-factsheet-508.pdf.
@mermaid77 If you have different information, can you please share it with us?

What I read (and watched the video clip) on the website is it’s for anyone who received and was injured by the vaccine.

I havent recieved the vaccines yet but I have had covid and I am still experiencing symptoms new and old. Im confused. Can't breathe, I have a cough, and can't get rid of it. I'm swelling up in the legs and feet and in the face. this has been going on for a year. All hospitals are completely overloaded here in springfield Missouri. I no longer have a doctor. I'm severely depressed. My youngest son is 27. Hes always been healthy up till 2019.He has cogestive heart failure. His heart is worn out. No one can tell me why. I don't really have much to look forward to actually. Im a christian and wont hurt myself but has crossed my mind. I wouldnt wish this on anyone. I pray alot. I really feel horrible for anyone who's had a more tragic life.
