I had my Pfizer vaccine one month before I was diagnosed with Shingles. Every doctor I have says that there cannot be any connection. I am in such pain from the Shingles. The only relief that I got was when my primary doctor gave me antivirals for one week, but since I have been off the antivirals the pain is increasing.
Doctor says I cannot take anymore antivirals.
I am overwhelmed with trying to find relief. I have a reaction to prednisone that causes my blood pressure to elevate over 200/140 and it takes days to return to any normal reading even with taking three blood pressure medications. It is exhausting to have this pain. I also have COPD and have not been able to find an inhaler that I do not react negatively. ie. itching etc. I sure could use some help and have one doctor to deal with all of my conditions.
Thank you
@kimmur yes I got it after 2 Pfizer vaccines. I was perfectly healthy & after I ended up getting RA & PMR 2 autoimmune diseases. My doctor gas lit me every time I told her it caused it. I finally fired her because I didn’t want to take the vaccines but work wouldn’t allow me to go back until I took two & the doctor refused to give me an exemption. I will never trust another doctor ever again & I will never take another vaccine & neither will my family. I have figured out other injuries since this happened to me for other family members with other vaccines & I never would have realized it had this not happened to me. There is documented research papers on all of this. Vitamin K shot they push on babies injured my grandson & the flu shot my mother inlaw took & got ill & never recovered. The doctors that push these pills & vaccines are nothing but quacks & they need to be held accountable. There is also new research on this & my videos about my vaccine injury are on Canadian Citizens Journal & all my other social media accounts videos of me not being able to move etc. I have never had so much anger inside me & I demand accountability!
@kimmur good to hear you are pain free! Did you take ibuprofen from 2021 till 2023? I am taking it since 2 months but the pain is still severe, still waiting to take prednison (although I would rather not) after diagnosis of a PET scan..
