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.

I think a lot of doctors just don’t know or want to know if there is a correlation, because in reality there are a relatively small percentage of us having these non-life threatening reactions. And, we definitely need people vaccinated. But, it doesn’t make it right that there are providers who do not take the symptoms seriously. My hope is that research can lead to a Covid vaccine that doesn’t cause such reactions. As a transplant recipient, there is little chance that I and many others are protected even though we’re fully vaccinated.
I have autoimmune disease caused neuropathy, which increased significantly after I was vaccinated. I saw my neurologist shortly after my second shot and he said he wasn’t surprised at my body’s reaction since the vaccine is designed to spark an immune response. So, at least in my case, it triggered Sjogren’s to go even more in hyperdrive and increased my neuropathy symptoms.

Sorry to hear your doctors are not supportive. My ortho and PCP were both accepting of the possibility that the vaccine caused my reaction. But both took the position that no matter what caused it, we needed to try to fix it and move on. It was reported to VAERS (as was the flu shot reaction before it.)
My daughters both had significant but temporary reactions as well, but found the need to be vaccinated to live their lives (both nurses) a compelling reason to get the second shot, and for one she now has the third (with minimal reaction.)
I hope you continue to improve.
