Vaccine Injury Testimonial

Vaccine Injury of Kelly J


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

Life was great! I was healthy, happy, loved my dream job working with infants and toddlers and daycares across my county. I traveled across NY for work and conferences, I have four beautiful children and have been married for 24yrs to my high school sweetheart. I was dancing again, taking yoga classes, eating healthy, I had lost a lot of weight and was looking and feeling the best I ever have in life. I was 41.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

4/1/21 & 4/29/21 I received my 2 doses of the Moderna vaccine. I had to get it for work due to working with all the daycares in my county.
Uveitis in both eyes on 5/12/22 with numerous flare ups since then. I have a cataract starting in my left eye along with big black floaters in both eyes and decreased vision. I have to use steroid drops during flare ups.
Bells Palsy on 2/21/23 on the left side of my face resulting in a permanent eye and mouth droop. My eye consistently waters for no reason all day every day. I also drool unexpectedly while eating on the left side.
2022 at some point I started having what I called "episodes". I would have them all day, numerous days in a row, even in my sleep.
Fast forward to 11/7/24 I had my first tonic clonic/grand mal seizure at work. I fell face first onto the ground and had a 5min seizure. I woke up in the hospital.
Come to find out those "episodes" I was having all the time were focal seizures. Since the first seizure on 11/7 I have continued to have tonic clonic seizures every month as well as 100's of focal seizures that have increased in severity. I can't speak, I drool, my right arm goes up, I shake, make noises, and then slowly come out of them. I used to be able to drive and work while having the focal seizures, no longer. My license is suspended, I lost my dream job in January 2025, I have no income coming in because I can't work. I've been denied disability twice.
Fatigue, severe depression, SEVERE memory loss, are all things I've been dealing with since this happened. I can't get doctors to listen to me when I say it all started after the covid vax.
I have to have more holter monitors too, I now have Bradycardia too. My heart rate goes down to 24bpm at times but feels like it's racing and skipping beats.
I cry most days, I'm so tired I can barely take care of my kids, my house is falling apart, my por husband is about to have a breakdown because we can't keep up on the bills. I don't know many people who've been injured personally but I see a lot of stories online.
Right now I'm med resistant to seizure meds, none of them have worked and they just keep switching them.
I have medication denied by my husband's insurance all the time that could help me. The copays for rescue meds are $1000 so I can't get those either. If I have multiple seizures in a row and don't have rescue meds, I will probably die or have irreversible brain damage.
