The injury/chronic illness occurred following my 3rd Pfizer Biotech mRNA Covid vaccine, the previous vaccines caused muscle stiffness and pain, but the symptoms were temporary. Following the 3rd shot these symptoms started in my hands and arms, but largely were most noticeable in my feet and ankles. It caused pain when walking or standing, never went away, making me disabled. I am unable to perform basic tasks without pain. The effect is cumulative, and rolls over into the next day. With rest I can abate them but I’m limited as a result. This makes most fields of work not possible for me. The more I fight against the symptoms the worse they get. I also had what felt like inflammation in my brain and recurrent chest pains. But the real issue I battle with daily is my limited mobility and lack of any support in that. My injury like most was never reported, and it took almost 3 years just to find a doctor willing to help me submit a claim which based on all indications is a hopeless pursuit. The trap that you find yourself in when vaccine injured is clear – these healthcare professionals see you as a political threat and not a patient. I decided to start paying for ozempic to get my weight under control (because as you can imagine I’m not able to work out as I once was or really at all without suffering). The disability has been overwhelming to my sense of self. I fight to take back control of some aspect of my body even if it means giving large amounts of money I don’t have to the same people who have generally treated me with contempt and will profit from rejecting my claim for compensation, when they finally decide to get around to that in who knows how many years. I want people to know that is there is no plan or even a desire to help the vaccine injured in the medical community. They just want you to go away, and emotionally that is the most devastating and alienating experience. Not only are you injured, but now suddenly doctors are your enemy, not your friend.
