Translation: My name is Rafaela, I'm 26 years old. On 06/08/2021, I took the first dose of the covid vaccine AstraZeneca, and 72 hours later, spots started to appear on my legs. I even thought it was an allergy from the soap or something like that. Then the pain in the legs and swelling began. On 08/31/2021, 72 hours after, I couldn't stand due to the burning, and my legs were completely purple and red. I couldn't walk, and I went to the emergency room. The doctor there asked what I ate, and then I realized that the only thing I did was get the vaccine. At that time in my city, they only attended to people with covid, and I couldn't get an appointment until December. I got it at the health center, but I needed a Hematologist. Because of SUS, I didn't have it, so I posted it on social networks and a doctor helped me by getting me an appointment with a Hematologist at the public hospital. That's when my fight began. He had seen my photo and already said that I had Henoch-Schönlein Purpura secondary to the vaccine. In addition, I acquired hypertension, autoimmune anemia and vaginal bleeding. Today I use an IUD. My kidneys were affected, but I never drank or smoked. Today I take medicine for pain, to keep my kidneys working, corticoids and others.
