I'm so so sorry this has happened to you. I had flu-like symptoms after my first vaccine (moderna) and 5 days after the second vaccine it was as if someone broke every bone in my arms and hands. Or maybe took all the bones out and put them back in the wrong place. I had jaw pain, tooth pain, lock jaw, and shooting pains down my arms and legs, muscle spasms, muscles that would seize and not let go, burning and numbing/tingling. I'm a clarinetist and teacher.....and according to 2 Universities where I teach, I am "unvaccinated" because I have refused the booster. My symptoms have dissipated over the past 10 months but have not gone away by any means. I've been seeing my chiropractor because my Doctor of 25 years has been of NO help....however, my chiro team has been amazing! The only thing that has helped is extra rest, vitamins and homeopathic medicines and epsom salt baths. My main take-away (thank goodness for this group) is that I'm NOT alone! I too am a 55 year old female and my regular doctor and team told me I'm getting old and denied that this sudden onset of extreme symptoms could be linked to the vaccine. I was ridiculously healthy before this - a runner and yogi. I'm so upset that they dismiss women - especially older women....and folks need to talk about these side effects because I think they are more common than we realize. The vaccine needs to be tweaked - but it will only improve if enough people tell their stories. Thank you for sharing yours!
