Vaccine Injury of Victor Medina


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

100% healthy

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

I used to be a pretty healthy individual. I rarely got sick with a cold or any normal sickness that affects most people. Meaning that my immune system was usually pretty strong. Some people affected by this condition may be able to live normally without suffering a hindrance to everyday living. In my case, it affects my arms and legs preventing me from walking. So, I can't work like I used to and I'm bedridden.
Why do I suspect the vaccine? All the symptoms started after I got vaccinated. I got the first two doses (Moderna) and gradually started to have difficulty walking and doing normal everyday things. I have to say that I've always exercised regularly (at least three times per week) and always have been active and cherished being auto sufficient.
First, I went to a physiatrist because it was getting difficult to do everyday things. Then he referred me to a neurologist who was really irresponsible and kept cancelling my appointments over and over. After changing to another neurologist and having done MRI's of my brain and spinal cord I was diagnosed with the MS, without doing any other tests to confirm, like a lumbar puncture.
So, I cannot work and can't apply for SSDI because it doesn't apply here to Puerto Rico residents and I don't have enough credits accrued to apply for Social Security.
