Sadly, this is the reaction by, not only those who have not experienced an adverse reaction to the Covid specific vaccines, but the medical community, governments and the media. Those of us who had never had any adverse reactions to any other vaccines, who were healthy and well prior to the Covid vaccine, and who experienced devastating and long-term injury immediately after the vaccine, know full well the cause. Many of us have spent months or years trying to find 1. Doctors who will believe us. 2. Testing that shows something. SFN seems to be one of the few definitive diagnosis’ amidst the cascade of other ‘typical’ symptoms following Covid vaccination (for those unlucky enough to have an adverse reaction) which also mimics long-covid. Future study (should it take place) may find that those of us so affected are particularly sensitive to the spike protein itself, as opposed to any other ingredient in the vaccine. But until those of us vaccine-injured are taken seriously, there will never be an answer. My personal cascade of symptoms happened within 15 minutes and progressed over the next few days - tremors, facial numbness, brain-fog, cranial pressure, heart pain, lung pain, paresthesia, tinnitus, insomnia, and ultimately neuropathy. 17months on I still suffer from tinnitus, paresthesia and neuropathy. I am still trying to get medical assistance. I am still met with skepticism. Those of us who rolled up our sleeves to do the right thing are, by that very act, demonstrably not anti-vax. We played our part to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and strangers on the street. Yes, adverse reactions are rare, but all we wanted is for those entities who encouraged us to get jabbed to say, “if you’ve had a problem, we’ve got your back.”
Well said. Thank you.I am not anti vax either. In fact, I personally have vaccinated thousands of people in my community with the covid vaccines as an RN with the public health department. But I do know my symptoms started a few hours after my 4th vaccination. And neurological events, while uncommon, can happen after any vaccination. I am lucky my doctor is a clinician and a scientist and she believes that it is the spike protein that is causing the issues, both in the vaccinated and the infected.
