Describe Your Vaccine Injury Description of Symptoms
(This description was given to Dr. Jalandhara r
Rheumatologist on my 1st visit on Dec. 5, 2023)
On March 9, 2021 I took my first dose of the Covid Vaccine and immediately had reactions to the shot. These reactions were within the first 24 hours after the shot. ( I took the second dose two weeks later and then the required booster shots.)
My lymph nodes did swell and when I would sit down to eat I had difficulty chewing because it would seem to swell them further. It would cause anxiety every time I ate. Also, I developed at the same time an unexplained rash on my left leg and then later my right leg that would cause a lot of itching. I have continued to have these problems and my doctors and dermatologists could not seem to help. The inflammation comes and goes on my rash with each episode leaving permanent scarring on my skin. Every time it flares up it spreads wider and has even spread to my other leg.
I just recently was seen by Epiphany Dermatologists (Sept. 11, 2023) and they did a biopsy of which I have the report results. They gave me a cortisone shot and it seemed to help temporarily. I need to find out what is causing this reaction.
According to the biopsy report, I was advised to check further since it showed some kind of auto immune response. My next appointment was at Aspire Allergy where I was sent to Quest Diagnostics for an intense blood work on all possible allergies and then later came back for a thorough airborne allergy skin testing. The blood work seemed to confirm an auto immune response.
I have been experiencing unexplained fatigue whereby my whole body just aches and nothing seems to help except laying down and sleeping it off. I can experience aches concentrated on the certain areas marked on your questionnaire (rheumatologist list) to all over achiness . I don’t know if all this is related to my rashes and lymph node swellings .
Last week and through today it is concentrated on my right knee. 2 weeks ago was my right shoulder which felt like I was being stabbed sharply. The week before that (3 weeks ago) it was concentrated on my left shoulder and it felt very painful to touch right at the joint.
Since this above description I was referred to by Dr. Jalandhara MD for a second opinion which led me to my current Rheumatologist Dr. Padmapriya Sivaraman, MD. The previous doctor had given me a diagnosis of RA but my current doctor has diagnosed my condition as Polymyalgia Rheumatica. Hydroxychloroquine and Prednisone have been prescribed for my condition.
Before the Covid shots I rarely experienced any sickness such as flu or colds. I would describe myself as very healthy. Soon after the 1st shot within hours I experienced auto immune symptoms. I believe strongly the Covid shots attacked my immune system and I am still suffering it's ramifications.
Did you get any of these vaccinations in the 45 days before or after the COVID-19 shot? Flu, Tetanus, Pneumonia, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, MMR, Chickenpox/Varicella, Diptheria, Pertussis, DtaP, Rotavirus, Hepatitis A or B, Meningitis, HPV. No
I have continued to have a lot of issues with my immune system. While over the years the gel injections I would take for my knee injury (bone on bone condition) gave me great relief, after the Covid shots, I cannot take them because my system rejects them and I am allergic to them and my orthopedic changed my gel injections to a hypoallergenic brand and it still caused an even greater reaction. I had to be put on Prednisone for over a month to overcome the inflammation they caused. I am afraid to try anything for relief to help with the knee pain.
Describe the solutions that helped your symptoms
I have tried natural protocols to combat my injured immune system but I still struggle quite a bit. I try to eat healthy and am always trying to find ways to help my condition. I believe I would be in a worse state without my efforts. I still suffer alot of inflammation in all my joints and my energy capacity is affected dramatically to the negative.
