Vaccine Injury Testimonial

Vaccine Injury of Jay Alberino

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

I have always been an avid exercise and health enthusiast. Eat what I consider to be healthy, run 10-20 miles a week, lift weights, and play men's softball.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

After the 2nd dose of the vaccine I could barely go upstairs without becoming winded. It lasted at least a month and then subsided. I went back to normal life, but eventually noticed some random palpitations I never thought anything of and more concerningly, I developed fat lips at random times.

Fast forward to March 2025 and palpitations became concerning and fat lips continued. I went to the ER with what was considered panic attacks 3 different times thinking I was having a stroke or PE due to facial numbness and lightheadedness. No doctors could figure out what was happening with me until I went to MedHelp clinic in Alabama for their long covid program. I learned that I am suffering from MCAS and some form of venous insufficiency in my legs. I am also awaiting tests for microclots.

Describe the solutions that helped your symptoms

Currently taking famotidine and quercetin which have helped a lot with my histamine-led panic attacks and fat lips.

Which solutions were not helpful?

Everything else. Circulation in the legs appears to be getting worse.
