What was your life like before you received the COVID-19 vaccine?
I had a neurological condition which meant I was paralysed from the chest down with arm weakness. That aside I was healthy and never unwell. I was sporty and exercised 3 times a week as well as a weekly overnight stay for football training and weekends away competing. I was sociable and also studying for my maths exam at college which involved 3hrs of classes a week and work outside the classroom. I was very busy, not at home much and lived a normal life despite my disability.
Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.
Within a few days of the vaccine I had a headache and didn’t feel right. I still have that 24/7 headache ever since that day. I then started getting fortnightly infections that I’d never had before. I also put on 3st within a fortnight (which is swelling not fat as I hardly eat). I had chronic fatigue and chronic insomnia. I have developed a wide range of symptoms which now total 36 - they include mast cell issues, memory loss, loss of a lot of my speech and language, nausea, can hardly eat, aches and pains. I soldiered on until about December 2021 but started going really downhill despite my best efforts and have been bedbound most of the time since March 2022. My life is unrecognisable.
