Vaccine Injury of Martin Gollan


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

In 2010 i experienced 6 pains in my left side exactly where i had shingles and under investigation it was deemed nerve end damage, also found my stomach was slow on emptying deemed gastroparesis. After medication, excercise and changes to my diet an 5 months later i went back to full time employment.
Same year i had another different pain after years of head butting with doctors now 2019 it turned out to be gallstones very painful, i still even with both still was employed full time. Pain was issue, vomiting just feeling tired and sick all time but fought on.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

In 2019 i was waiting on gallbladder removal operation due to covid cancelled until summer 2022.
On 12/01/21 i took first AstraZeneca covid injection next few days i did not feel right but coudnt put finger on what it was, i walked to work and back mainly for excercise but on 17/01/21 just 5 days after covid injection i was knocked totally off my feet could hardly stand or walk. I had no energy just exhausted and pain all over my boxy head to foot every part even my fingers and toes, what followed was nothing short of a tsunami of infections approx 60+ 25+ doses of anti biotics, ranged from sinus, heart, lungs, kidney, viral and chest. I had 6 suspected heart attacks and strokes a Doctor clarafying stroke nurse changed it to suspected (my right leg still feels numb 2025). For first 6 months doctors put it down to hayfever, immunologist said likely hayfever IGE levels up citeing infection but put it down hayfever. After 6 months changed to Chronic pain syndrome, pre 2021 i had 6 pains in left side stomach the painkillers i received from doctor masked this never complained again about gastroparesis i just managed. The symptoms of gsstroparesis or painkiller related nausea, dizziness, vertigo, vomiting and sickness were more challenging but received medication to deal with this effectively. Pain in my right side was eventually seen as gallblsdder issues after operation in 2022 i never complained of again. The pain after 2021 covid injection headaches, neck, back, arm, back, legs, knees feet hands, toes and fingers were something else. Doctors seemed to wrap it all together as a pain but as gastroparesis is a pain and gallstones is a much different pain as waiting at least 8 years to get operation would prove and vindicate myself with (no apology was ever given). So to think these pains were something completely unrelated was not a stretch in laymans terms in doctors however it took the name of CPS, CFS, ALLERGIC REACTION TO INJECTION/ASTRAZENECA (VIG) BACK TO CPS, THEN PULMANORY ISSUES, RECALACITRAINT DEPRESSION, IBS, COPD AND FYBROMYALGIA from 2021 to 2024. Along with pain, i have fatigue, brain fog, use to have total recall now not so much, breathing and speaking issues, mobility issues use a stick for right leg, i have tremors and jerking of body, arms and legs, neck and back problems. I have dry socket (eyes) nose has a constant inside scab (left side), i suffer tinnitus and noise sensitivity with scensory overload i went from having good hearing post 2021 to needing hearing aids 2024, slim in mouth green-white-brown coloured, dry mouth issues.

Describe the solutions that helped your symptoms

Stick been god send.
Keep cold wet cloth for dry socket and headaches (x10 daily or more)
Osteopath - exvercises.
Massage, reflexology, acupuncture can be a daily fix/help.
Back, neck, head and feet home massager.
Home sauna does help a bit.
Take vitamins, electrolytes and testo-mx (men).
Hand and feet excercises to help with stiffness (hand balls).

Which solutions were not helpful?

It's all in your head, misdiagnosis, everchanging diagnosis, go get on with it, isolation, freinds ignore or dodge you now. Tale more vitamins i was on 13 at one point. Nurses and doctors sceptisism, reversing what you the patient says "my gait is different" nurse "nothing wrong with his gait" never met her before i broke my leg and walked bandy legged ever since her opinion was totally off 100%. Doctors excusing symptoms or tying them altogether for easyness sake its just hayfever well you had pain before "yes doc but in a completely othrr part of my body.

What would you like others to know?

It is true we need to carry on coping and managing until rest catch up and hopefully a cure away of living becomes easier or better hopefully better for us all suffering this illness!
