What was your life like before you received the COVID-19 vaccine?
Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.
I received my first vaccine in March of 2021 and my second in April of 2021. Within 6 weeks of my second vaccine, I started to feel pins and needles throughout my body and in my face. I went to my PCP and was undergoing tests for MS and autoimmune disease and received my booster in December of 2021. Within days of the booster, I started to experience the pins and needles in my hands, feet, back, and internal tremors with muscle weakness in my arms and legs upon waking. That same month, I received a connective tissue disease diagnosis (which may be a misdiagnosis or may have been brought on by the vaccine, I'm not sure). About a month later I started experiencing a sensation of pressure in my head and vision changes. This increased in intensity, I began to have blurred vision, and the pressure and visible swelling eventually spread to both eyes. I was diagnosed with trochleitis, an eye condition commonly associated with lupus.
