5 days after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, I was diagnosed with Guillan Barre syndrome. I was having numbness and tingling in my toes and hands. 5 days later I was paralyzed from the shoulders down and classified as a quadriplegic. I was told that I had a severe case of GBS and the doctors said they didn’t know if I would completely recover. I spent 3 months in the hospital and rehab. Currently, I have regained the use and feeling everywhere except for my ankles, feet and toes. I can walk with a walker. Activities like cooking and showering are exhausting. I can’t drive and are unable to work due to being a fall risk and the fatigue.
