What was your life like before you received the COVID-19 vaccine?
musician/writer/farmer, normal life, active, kids, wife, selfemployed
T1D since 2002 on LCHP diet managed with insulin therapy average HbA1C <5
Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.
initial reaction was fever of 104F the night after vaccination, it gradually resolved in three days, eventually developed during following month Polyneuropathy, rapid heartbeat looking like strange palpitations - probably vagus nerve impairment
by August it was accompanied with, severe headache, POTS, MCAS, vision worsened too, lost sense of smell , sound sensitivity
totally bed or chair or porch bound until late December 2021
since January 2022 i can do one task a day, anything more will crash me again and recovery takes up to 5 days
walking more than a block or two is still a problem
unable to use left hand effectively since the vaccination = a bit of a disaster for a guitar player
Describe the solutions that helped your symptoms
ivm 12mg helped IMO with the initial problems - recovered sense of smell, it stopped progression to worse in August 2021
colchicine 1.5mg daily in split dose .5mg - 1mg took the edge of the pain and burning when i had relapse in January 2022 after extensive snow removal day
sitting in a tub of cold water , yes sounds crazy but it helps with pain
2x daily loratadine 10mg
D3 K2, A, E,, B complex, C for supportive care
doing nothing and meditation
MCAS diet with no beef, etc...steady diet of pork and romaine lettuce
all diary only from goat and use it sparsely
no egg yolks
not crossing legs ever helps with leg neuropathy
going down kneeling slowly, standing up in 3 or more steps
doubling reader glasses correction
ear plugs
Which solutions were not helpful?
visit to neurology
visit to cardiology
NAC, magnesium, NSAIDs - worsend the MCAS
calling FDA and CDC
reporting to VAERS - mysteriously the initial report was changed twice already without my or my GP involvement and my appendix to it was never included, now it states date of my vaccination incorrectly, place of my residence and age is incorrect, my symptoms have been changed etc. - dystopia all around
What would you like others to know?
when neurologist tries to shove vax reaction to the MS diagnosis and milk you for more cash tell them to shove it when cardiology wants to do stress test expect bad week afterwards
expect to pay for many things out of your pocket
expect hate from everybody including family
expect extreme censorship and dismissal from doctors
expect major hit to your finances
expect complete different life
