Thank you for this information! You're a star!

So sad that I have to do this research to find possible solutions on my own

I'm sorry to admit that both my PCP and Podiatrist are reluctant to admit this could be from the vaccine. They simply shrug, look at me like I may be a conspiracy theorist, and say we just don't know much about the ramifications at this time.

Or maybe I'm projecting because I feel like a conspiracy theorist. It just seems too coincidental.

I talked to a neighbor yesterday. His father, who had recently had a stroke, but was recovering well four at home therapists, his health plummet after his first vaccine. So much so that they bought a new house with a mother-in-law suite, moved. Because of the at home visits with the multiple therapists, his doctor recommended he still get the second dose. His condition worsened and about a month to the day of purchasing the new house, his father passed. No doctor would say that the vaccine was responsible for his decline and/or death.

It's like the medical establishment has signed some secret pact letter to not bad mouth the vaccine. The standard being risk vs reward is tremendous, collateral damage be damned.

Ugh! I do sound like a conspiracy theorist... just not an extreme one that thinks I've been injected with a monitoring device of some sort.

It is preferable to get your doctor to run the tests if you can. Out of caution, fear of malpractice or for other reasons, most docs will order the same test again, even if you bring a result from an outside lab (except another doc, clinic or hospital.) It can also save time, not waiting on the mail to send sample and get results before seeing the doc.
