S.R. – Oregon
Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.
"I am 58 years old, married, mother of two adult daughters and I have 3 grandchildren. Currently in a graduate program studying clinical mental health.
I WAS HEALTHY BEFORE THE VACCINE.
I had 1st dose of Moderna on 1/14/21 - right deltoid. Lot # 029L24A
On 1/19/21 presented at Emergency Room with stroke symptoms to include bilateral facial paraesthesia, left leg/left arm weaknesses and numbness. No indication of Bell’s Palsy. Normal brain MRI w/o contrast. Normal CBC. Normal EKG.
1/21/21. Neurologist #1 wanted to test me for everything MS and refused to correlate my symptoms with the vaccine. She told me to take the 2nd dose “and see what happens.”
On 1/28/21 Neurologist #2 took my symptoms seriously. He diagnosed me with Autoimmune Neuropathy (suspected vaccine reaction). PCP suggested molecular mimicry phenomena.
My symptoms today:
bilateral facial paraesthesia and nerve pain around eyes and around mouth.
Left arm weakness & numbness from bicep to fingertips
Left leg weakness and feels shaky at times. Neuropathy both feet.
intermittent body chills (no temperature)
Occasional vibration or buzzing in upper and/or lower extremities.
tingling & burning lips 24/7
fingertip burning sensation
left & right calves muscle twitching and nerves firing.
There are times I feel like I will lose all control of my left arm & legs
muscle twitching around mouth and random facial nerves fire.
Global scalp pressure with nerves firing on the side of my head.
Brain fog.
Autonomic dysfunction.
My greatest fear is I will develop an autoimmune disease or a degenerative neurological disease.
Without a long term vaccine control group I will be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life."
