Vaccine Injury of Stacey Hensen


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

I could do practically anything before the vaccine(s). I worked out regularly without any problems. Was rarely fatigued. Could help my husband lift heavy items without issue.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

Received both vaccines in April and May of 2021. Started having low back issues in July of 2021. Went to several doctors, ran all sorts of tests, was diagnosed with fibromyalgia initially, which we all know is a trashcan diagnosis. Took another two years and seemingly endless testing to finally arrive at a psoriatic arthritis diagnosis. We are still trying to determine what, if any, medications are helpful.

Describe the solutions that helped your symptoms

Diet, exercise, staying hydrated, and adequate sleep.

Which solutions were not helpful?

The medications I've tried thus far have only helped minimally, if at all. I just trialed Humira, which seemed to make things worse. I also tried Cimzia, which helped initially, but lost it's effectiveness within months.
