Vaccine Injury of Grace Poole


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

I was physically active, very social and able to work full time at the best job I ever had.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

I was slowly deteriorating after the first vaccine but just thought it was my busy lifestyle. After the third vaccine, I got flu like symptoms which included headaches, tiredness, weakness, soreness, dizziness and insomnia. These symptoms seemed like they would disappear in a couple of days, however they have now lasted over 3 years. I had to quit my job as I could hardly get myself out of the house let alone work for a full 8 hours. Even 3 years later, my condition has worsened. I have finally had a diagnosis of POTS along with an un-finalised diagnosis of Post Acute COVID Vaccination Syndrome. Unfortunately even with these diagnoses there is little treatment available. I feel like I have lost my independance, my freedom and my sanity.

Describe the solutions that helped your symptoms

Managing my energy and accepting my new level of capability.

Which solutions were not helpful?

Pain killers
Sleeping pills
Rest - doesn't improve anything just doesn't worsen things

What would you like others to know?

I would like others to know that chronic fatigue like symptoms ARE a side effect of the vaccine. I don't want others to remain undiagnosed and not listened to. It is real and it is disabling and debilitating.
