First Dose of Pfizer on 08/27/21
New Zealand
Q: What was your life like before you got the vaccine?
I was active and life was full on. I worked a part time office job so I can could run my full time events organizing business. Involved in the community, Working from sun up to sun down, with energy and brain power.
Q: What was your reaction, symptoms, & timeline?
In the 15 mins post vax I experienced numbness and tingling in my leg. Two days later my vision started to swim and I started to suffer acute hyper sensitivity to low & high frequency sounds. 6 days post vax headaches became drilling RHS head pains, hallucinations, going in and out of consciousness, vomiting, extreme fatigue, brain fog, loss of mental clarity, pain & pressure behind R eye, RHS numbness to face, LHS pains and aches in arms, elbows, legs, knees, ankles, shoulder. Slowing lessened over the following weeks but a relapse 6 weeks later bought it all back, along with twitches, chest pains, back aches, body exhaustion, chest tightness. 15 weeks later I am slowly again making progress - still suffer from these things but in lesser amounts. Ongoing mental fog / haze and loss of mental clarity and physical exhaustion and fatigue kick in often. I wonder where it will all end.
Q: What is your life like now, after getting the vaccine?
Inactive, unable to work or focus on things for long periods of time. Needing to rest regularly to allow my body and brain to catch up. Unable to work the long hours. Forgetting the simplest things, tiring, exhausting, frustrating, alienating.
Q: Share your experience with any medical care and any diagnoses you have received:
My experience with the medical world have left a lot to be desired. 1st ED - CT scans, blood tests, said nothing unusual, yeah looks like it is reaction to vax Advised best NOT get second dose No prescription for pain or symptoms 1st Dr visit - Yeah probably vax, but you MUST get the 2nd one, it might make you sicker but you must get it 'because I don't want my kids to catch covid' No prescription for pain or symptoms Visit to Vax clinic - I went to my 2nd appointment - not intending to get it but to front up and eye ball them. Two nurses: "Do not get 2nd vax". And didn't administer it. Senior nurse gave me details to apply for exemption. We spoke to govt dept re details for exemption. Govt dept agreed - Do not get 2nd vax and seek exemption 2nd Dr visit (new dr) - Didn't know how to apply for exemption. Had to give them all the details I had. Didn't seem overly concerned for my health or symptoms. Advised probably best NOT to get 2nd vax No prescription for pain or symptoms 2nd ED visit - Refused to record known drug allergies 'Pfizer' on my records' Dr came out immediately with its MENOPAUSE. I fought back. They then came out with 'ANXIETY & STRESS'. Again, I fought back. He went away, came back, admitted it was due to vax, and said I likely have something akin to Chronic Fatigue or Fibro as a result. Advised not to get second vax. Prescribed 6mths of Paracetomol & Ibuprofen Recommended referral to immunologist or neurologist 3rd Dr visit - Made referral to neurologist Neurologist - looked at symptoms - decided it was Functional neurological disorder (FND). Recommended MRI. 4th Dr visit - Gave me a prescription for chronic fatigue - discovered from pharmacist it was antidepressant, which she said would knock me out for the next day if I took it too late in the evening. I was given this ON TOP of my existing antidepressants I was already on. MRI - supposedly clear Recent visit - Dr now says my symptoms are in my head - it's anxiety and stress and I need to see a psychologist and get counselling. This is the same thing other vax injured around me are now hearing.
Q: Was your reaction reported, and what was the response?
CARM - New Zealand official register My Doctor IMAC (Immunisation Advisory Centre) NZ Ministry of Health Pfizer - just now
Q: Is there anything that has helped, and have your symptoms improved?
In the end, I threw away ALL pharmaceutical drugs. I am taking natural supplements and remedies I am working on making sure I STOP and REST whenever I have pain coming on, to allow my brain and body space to heal.
Q: What do you wish others knew?
There is something dreadfully wrong when Governments forcible mandate you to have a particular medical procedure but then refuses to acknowledge your existence and refuses offers you help or compensation for that injury.
