ORIGINAL INTERVIEW ON 01/02/22 and UPDATED ON 08/02/22:


Q: What was your life like before you got the vaccine?

I was relatively healthy. I worked out a lot at the gym. I enjoyed playing with my mini-aussies and taking them for walks. I did not miss much time from work due to illness.


Q: Would you like to share the reasons you got the vaccine?

I originally believed in the government's/media's narrative that the vaccine was totally safe and that it was my responsibility to get it.


Q: What was your reaction, symptoms, & timeline?

I started with brain fog and vertigo symptoms after the first vaccine. I did not think much about it as I thought they were the aftereffects of a cold and would go away. The symptoms did not go away and got worse with severe vertigo after the 2nd dose.


Q: What is your life like now, after getting the vaccine?

My life was miserable and at times unbearable. Along with the brain fog and vertigo symptoms came nausea. I missed several days of work. I was referred to hearing and balance physical therapy. I did this for 5 weeks and found no relief or benefit from this. I was then sent to an audiologist to do VNG and water caloric testing in my ears. The audiologist did not get the desired result she wanted from the first water test, so she had me come back the next day to do the water test again. They still did not get the reaction they wanted. Worse, I started to develop immediate migraines daily after this invasive

testing. It seemed like my life just became miserable and unbearable by two-fold in a matter of days.


Q: Share your experience with any medical care and any diagnoses you have received:

I was able to get referred to an ENT. My MRI came back clean. After reviewing everything, he diagnosed me with a vestibular migraine. He was one of the few medical providers that believed my symptoms were caused by the protein spike of the vaccine. However, The ENT would not officially document this. Because of my headaches, he deferred my medication regime to a neurologist that I was able to get into. The neurologist did not believe the vaccine was the cause and put me on nerve pain medications of Gabapentin and Topamax. I also saw an osteopath on a regular basis who had me on a protocol of Nurtec and Qulipta. I also did several electro-acupuncture sessions that only provided short term relief.


Q: Was your reaction reported, and what was the response?

None of the 6 different medical providers I went to reported my symptoms to VAERS. I did my own report on 8/12/21. I contacted and spoke to a VAERS representative in November. She stated that someone would get back to me via email. Almost a year later now, and I have had no response from them.


Q: Is there anything that has helped, and have your symptoms improved?

Ivermectin, naltrexone, and ozone IV therapy are the only therapeutics that seem to have decreased the protein spike in my system. 17 months after the vaccine, my brain fog has disappeared, and my daily vertigo/headache symptoms have significantly decreased. I feel approximately 60% better.


Q: What do you wish others knew?

I wish there would be more transparency from the FDA, CDC, vaccine manufacturers, and the overall health industry about the significant risks of the vaccine. It is not totally safe as the narrative portrays it to be. Unfortunately, those of us who have been injured by the vaccine are “collateral damage”. I understand the politics involved. Based on my personal experience and other patients' stories I have been following, traditional medical providers are practicing hypocrisy rather than abiding to their Hippocratic Oath. I am praying for those who are damaged and hope they get the necessary treatment and healing they deserve. My suggestion is to not rely on traditional medicine nor traditional physicians. They do not want to rock the boat against the false vaccine narrative. Look for alternative practitioners who genuinely want to help cure you, not just treat your symptoms.
