“As some of you may know I’ve been dealing with a vaccine injury quite some time now. First I want to make it 100% clear I am in no way anti-vax: I got this vaccine because I was led to believe it was safe and effective but clearly that’s not the case for everybody. It’s been seven months now and my symptoms are still with me, they may be with me for the rest of my life although I remain hopeful that there is an other side to this.

Specifically the vaccine has caused peripheral nerve damage throughout my body. To explain what that means, I do not have long fiber damage which causes weakness and motor skill deterioration. I have small fiber neuropathy which is responsible for your sense of touch and pain. This injury has left me with burning sensations throughout my body. It feels like I have a constant sunburn, at other times it feels like I have broken glass underneath my skin. It causes temperature dysregulation, so I can’t tell as easily if the water is too hot or cold. The sensations are all over my body but tend to travel around and intensify or lessen in certain areas throughout the day. It’s left me in chronic pain. Currently I’m not taking any medications for the pain because I’m not a big fan of being medicated, but I might consider in time.

I’ve been to many doctors and the answers just are not easy to come by because even in the world of neurology not a lot is known about my condition. I cannot even get clear answers on whether I will heal or this will be with me forever. Some sources of information say I could spontaneously heal anywhere from a year to two years, other places say generally it doesn’t go away. Fortunately I have an appointment with a highly reputable neurologist who dealt with these injuries on Monday and I will go from there. One possibility is receiving a treatment like IVIg that will help if there is an autoimmune component at play.

Additionally I will not be able to continue getting vaccinated, which leads me at additional risk and further isolated. Thankfully I’m not entirely alone and I’m deeply appreciate of of those who have stuck with me through this. I also have several support groups with thousands just like me searching for answers.

I understand we’re in an emergency because of this pandemic, however more research definitely needed to be done in certain populations before declaring it safe and effective. Sadly, there is really no compensation for people who are injured, people who lose their jobs are the worst affected. For now I am able to keep working which I’m thankful for since I have a remote job. I deeply feel that there should be help for anybody who is injured, without exception.

Although I am not anti-vaccine otherwise I would not have gotten this; I don’t believe in vaccine mandates, there are people with underlying health conditions that just don’t want to play dice. If I did have an underlying condition, I had no clear evidence of it at the onset but had I known of one, the option to have a pass would be the right thing to do.

I’m not asking for anything but support only, I’m the wrong person to debate with, or say “it’s rare, you’re rare…” I’m real. I’m a human being, I got caught up in this thing because I was trying to protect others and myself and do the right thing. I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from making their own personal decisions. I would like however to raise awareness as to the very real injuries happening and the lack of support for those injured trying to do the right thing.”
