First Dose of Pfizer on 10/08/21
Murrieta, California
29 yrs old
Q: What was your life like before you got the vaccine?
Fast-paced. I've been an Air Traffic Controller for 7 years with the FAA. Now I cannot medically do my job. I cannot recall rules and thoughts fast enough to keep planes safe anymore. I got the shot to keep my job, and now it's costing me my job, my health, and the way I used to live my life.
Q: Would you like to share your reasons for getting vaccinated?
I'm a federal employee, and I got the vaccine to keep my job after the mandate.
Q: What was your reaction, symptoms, & timeline?
I immediately had chest pains, shortness of breath and dizziness. 3 days later I noticed memory problems and brain function issues. It's been 7 months, and I've shown little improvement.
Q: What is your life like now, after getting the vaccine?
Now I stay at home and do nothing most days.
Q: Share your experience with any medical care and any diagnoses you have received:
I've been diagnosed with Dysautonomia/POTS.
Before that, I was first misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, and MIS-C.
Q: Was your reaction reported, and what was the response?
VAERS, I got a 3 month follow-up paper.
Q: Is there anything that has helped, and have your symptoms improved?
Lots of salt and compression tights
Q: Have you had Covid before?
No
Q: What do you wish others knew?
The first doctor you go to isn't always going to be right. Keep trying doctors until your satisfied. I went to about 35 in 6 months.
