It started with a soreness in my left shoulder where I received the injection, that soreness moved up my neck, and I slowly lost the use of my left arm. My upper arm and neck swelled until I looked like the "Incredible Hulk".
It tool about six weeks before I had normal function back to my left arm, and the VA doctor flagged my chart warning that I should not receive vaccinations at anytime again.
I pray your reaction will not be as extreme mine, but if your symptoms progress, then please err on the side of caution, and get it checked out before it gets too bad.
Good luck.
But what can they actually do to help once it gets to that point? Steroids?
I'm really sorry you went through that. The only silver lining may be that it might help spare you if they decide to make it mandatory. If anyone should be able to get an exemption, you should be able to do so with that documented experience.
Yesterday was a super drag. Had to tell three separate healthcare providers that I wasn't getting the vaccine. Mentioning the Post Transplant letter pretty much shut them up, but had to close one down with, "There is no way on earth I am getting an experimental vaccine." I really, really hope I don't have to put up with this every time I see a provider, but I fear that may be the case. Super stressful. I don't like conflict. I expected to have to deal with physicians but man. The nurses and techs too?
I suppose getting this t-shirt would alienate too many people right off the bat?
