Welcome, @blackchapstick. I can imagine that you're at the end of your rope with no answers yet. I agree with @teacher502 that you might consider going to a large medical center of excellence or teaching hospital, like Mayo Clinic.

May I ask, have you had COVID? Did these symptoms start gradually or suddenly? How old are you?

Hello, I have considered going to a medical center but I am afraid I am incapable of executing that notion, even before this incident, I've been struggling with mental health for many years and I don't have a supportive circle to help and fight for me. I do not think that I have had covid because I have not experienced any symptoms similar to what the vaccine causes. I believe that some symptoms possibly started some years ago but then they went away (for example ankle pain, burning sensations under skin and black spots appearing in vision) and now have had a sudden and more intense onset. The past months, the symptoms however have been gradual and often changing. An example would be that I have noticed elbow pain developing this week and knee pain last week. Very light. Now after 3 days, I woke up and my left elbow feels like it is burning and as if I had hit it against something. The sensation in the knees however has not picked up yet. My fever seems to have calmed down, and yesterday at night it was difficult to breathe all of the sudden but not anymore. In general, it is very unpredictable other than the visual disturbances, headaches and throat ache. I am 21 years old.
