Vaccine Injury of Darcy Rogers


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

I was healthy! I've always had hearing issues due to a ruptured eardrum when I was a little girl as well as TMJ also from a childhood injury. But, otherwise, I was very healthy!
I was able to get on the ground and play with my grandkids and now I cannot even FaceTime them because it gets my heartrate up too high.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

I took the vaccine so I could attend my Son's military graduation in August 2021.
In September 2023 I starting having severe hearing sensitivity as well as ringing in my ears. As I started the process of going from Dr. to Dr. to try and figure out what was wrong I started experiencing more and more symptoms:
Fever/sweats
Nausea
Excessive napping but trouble sleeping
Brain fog/ confusion
Joint pain
Chest pains
Extreme Fatigue
Shortness of breath
Neck/clavicle pain
Head pressure
Ear pressure and Pain
Hyperacusis and distorted hearing
Tinnitus
Sore jaw and teeth
Sinus pressure
Drainage from ear and nose
Pain in eye socket
Blurred, decreased, distorted vision
Dizziness/vertigo

I did my own research and found that I had a lot of symptoms of a CFS leak but could not get my GP to order a scan. I went through about 30 different Dr.'s and specialists before I found someone who didn't tell me I was crazy and that it was all in my head but actually looked at my scans instead of just reading the report on them. This Dr. found that I have a blocked jugular vein and at least two CFS leaks in my neck as well as trapped nuero waste fluid in my brain.
I also started seeing a immunologist for my fever a chill episodes which are every two hours and last about 20 min.
He is the first person to link my condition to the Covid vaccine. He found that my body is trying to fight of five different diseases that I don't have but it thinks I do because of trying to pin the covid vaccine on something. My body is always fighting these diseases because I don't have them and so cannot beat something I don't have.
I am waiting to see a cardiologist for my heart and finally had a MRI of my spine that found two more CFS leaks in my L2 and L4, for a total of four CFS leaks.
I was also diagnosed with EDS in July 2023.

My quality of life is reduced to laying in bed in excruciating pain most days, I am unable to say more than five words before I am in too much pain from the noises in my head that I need to recover for 20min. I have to wear noise canceling headphones to keep the outside noises at bay. I have trouble reading and writing/typing due to neurological damage. I have tried taking up signing so I can communicate with some of my family.

Describe the solutions that helped your symptoms

I am hoping to get accepted into Mayo Clinic so I can get everything I need all at once. One of the hardest parts of this is how long it takes for me to get an appointment for whatever my Dr.'s prescribe next.
I need to see a cardiologist before I can have any other procedure done like having my CFS leaks patched and cannot get in.

Which solutions were not helpful?

Dr.'s that don't take the time to listen or understand or just don't take you seriously. For over 9 months, I was dealing with severe depression because they had convinced me that I was crazy and it was all in my head.

What would you like others to know?

Through all of this, my relationship with God has gotten so strong. I would not be here today without HIM!
