Vaccine Injury Testimonial

Vandana Whitney

Tagged with: Tinnitus, Clotting,

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

Healthy. I eat well and exercise regularly. I had no serious health issues.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

In the months immediately following my second Pfizer shot, I developed pulsatile tinnitus, neuropathy, and essential thrombocythemia. We now know that the spike protein from both the virus and the vaccine can stay in the body for an extended period and that can result in a very compromised immune system. 
In February of 2025 I was diagnosed with giant cell arteritis (GCA), an autoimmune disorder that causes serious inflammation of the temporal arteries. Failure to treat GCA in a timely manner can cause permanent loss of eyesight. A month later, I had a pulmonary embolism. With the four-year time lag, I can never be sure if these later disorders were connected to the shots or the spike protein, but for me the suspicion remains.
I have good medical care, and all of these conditions can be treated with well-known protocol and treatment. My doctors completely dismiss the possibility of any connection to the shots. 

Describe the solutions that helped your symptoms

Pulsatile Tinnitus is still present but has mostly resolved on its own and does not trouble me now. Neuropathy in toes has also improved to degree that doesn't trouble me. I took Lion's Mane medicinal mushroom powder which may have helped but don't know that for sure. Essential thrombocythemia is very much still a problem. I am under the care of a hematologist who has me on a low dose of a chemo drug, Hydrea, which he says I will have to be on for the rest of my life. I am also under the care of a naturopathic doctor. I take supplements; Vit. C, Vit. D, Vit. E, Vit. B-12, iron, lumbrokinase, magnesium, zinc, NAC and selenium, black cumin seed, phosphatidylcholine. The naturopathic doctor has many other treatments available and I will continue to try new treatments to counteract the toxicity of the chemo drug, and to hopefully replace it eventually.

Which solutions were not helpful?

I take monthly blood tests to see if my platelet count comes down to within normal range. It will probably be a long process to try and determine which naturopathic treatments help. If I can get my platelet count to within normal range for an extended period, I can gradually reduce the chemo drug and see if I can still keep the count within normal range.

What would you like others to know?

I am not looking for assistance from React Care. I want to join a community of people both for support and to add my story to bring awareness of vaccine injury. I know I can't prove that any or all of these conditions were a direct result of vaccine injury as all three are known medical problems and could happen to anyone in my age group. But all three are listed by Pfizer as possible side affects, and the coincidence of developing all three conditions within a short period after my last Pfizer shot convinces me that it is not just coincidence.
