I was in excellent health. I’m a gym rat . Fit. Retired from the NYPD. NO Previous major illnesses.

I was extremely lethargic for three or four days. Long story short. I was admitted to the hospital on 4/23/22 and diagnosed with pneumonia,severe sepsis;atrial fibrillation, delirium at some point while I was hospitalized. Within a day or two I couldn’t walk or talk(balance) I remained in the hospital for two weeks. Rehab for six weeks. I regained my ability to walk, but my speech is slurred. Subsequently I was diagnosed with a devastating neurological illness. Primary lateral sclerosis. It is progressive. Prior to hospitalization, I had no symptoms of a neuromuscular nature. I, virtually contracted the aforementioned disease overnight. It doesn’t make sense. Within a Week I went from not feeling well to a diagnosis that is devastating I attribute the above to that vaccine

Presently, I’m stable as this is a slowly progressing disease.in

Although this was devastating emotionally etc. I haven’t given up. I’m looking for answers ,treatment and drs that may be able to help me. Surprisingly I haven’t lost strength be it weight lifting cycling etc. as jimmy Valvano famously said”NEVER GIVE UP”
