Vaccine Injury of Amy Lutz


What was your life like before you received the COVID-19 vaccine?

I was fine except for being diagnosed bipolar. On high blood pressure med ever since pre eclampsia with 5th pregnancy in 2008. Smoker for 30 years with surprisingly minimal damage from that.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

Once I got the initial vaccine 5/5/21, I was very surprised at about the 24 hour mark that I didn’t feel a little sick as everyone explained would happen after the first dose. Getting the dose went against everything I believed in and info I had learned. I had a huge fear of it but thought I would take one for the team, for the sake of my elderly aunt whom I was taking care of at the time and my elderly customers, who’s houses I cleaned because my fear of catching covid and giving it to one of them and killing them was even greater than my fear of it killing or harming me. So the next day I was surprised I was feeling fine and started mowing my grass on a beautiful spring day. Then it hit me. I could not believe how right everyone was in how they said you would get sick from the first shot. Not to worry about the second though. So my sickness did not subside. It was within a few days later I developed many sudden symptoms, the one being this EXCRUCIATING PAIN in my feet. Pain that never stopped until fast forward to 2025 after being diagnosed with RA factor and high inflammation and having an RA flare up that moved to my knee and lower back. My feet mysteriously stopped hurting as bad after all those years. So the in between? Not only did I have this excruciating pain that I could never again bend my feet while walking but rather propelled each foot in front of the other just to be mobile. I would cry some nights it got so bad. My boyfriend would massage my feet sometimes trying to pop the plates on the top of my feet back into place that would be all piled up and disfigured, that I would have to scream and cry into a pillow. In 2023 I believe it was, my podiatrist told me he had never seen anything like it when he x-rayed my feet. I had no cartilage in them at all like a person in their 90’s. Some of my other first symptoms were brain fog that I did not know other people Experienced I was diagnosed with ADHD after that. I really believed I was developing early onset Alzheimer’s or dementia which Neurologist in 2024 said I was not. I considered how poor my quality of life was not being able to remember things and my ability to function correct. I had finally empathized with people who decided to have their end of life plan from poor quality of life. There is just such a long list of symptoms that occurred. I cannot finish my story this late at night but back in October 2023 I got a cold that developed into me ending up in the hospital almost dying they had to do a bronchoscopy in hopes to get a decent amount of oxygen for my lungs ti begin absorbing again, that did thankfully work. I was on the highest dose of oxygen that they could give before putting me on a ventilator thank God that procedure did work. The big main doctor said that I have the RA factor and that is what caused it. She explained that RA can attack organs in your body and shut them down. She was surprised that there was minimum damage from all the years of smoking. I’m not sure how she could determine that through the rest of the mess in my lungs and biopsies, but that is what she said. Also, when I woke up with this cold, I was suddenly very blurry vision out of my right eye. now I had beyond perfect vision and I mean like bionic vision before this happened. I go to an ophthalmologist after getting out of the hospital along with a long list of other doctors. that Opthamologist told me that I had 2 and especially in my right eye, a cataract that they don’t ever see in anyone in their 40s unless they are diabetic or long-term steroid use, which I was neither. They only see this in patients in their 90s. She did not believe me that I developed this cataract overnight. Well after doing other test over a couple months to schedule surgery to replace my lenses in my eyes, she witnessed it developing rapidly worse. I was unable to get the surgery last June 2024. I finally recently went back and they don’t even understand how I can see anything at all. My cataracts have gotten so much worse in both eyes, they said not having surgery is not an option and it has to be done if I want my eyesight. That is now scheduled for April 7 and 17th 2025. I struggle horribly with brain fog and memory problems. I struggle with severe anxiety/panic disorder I’m guessing because I don’t know how to handle it. I struggle with debilitating pain and try to muscle through everything I try to fight. I feel like such a crybaby because I know there are people out there so much worse off. there are people who died from this. that I have absolutely no doubt. One of my biggest regrets in life is getting the jab. I had no idea that there was any support system out there where our voices could be heard until tonight either. I know if I waited until tomorrow to write my story that I would have forgot to do it so here I am three in the morning writing this.
