MY STORY AFTER COVID-19 PFIZER VACCINE

At 60 years of age, I was a vibrant and high-functioning woman whose life was filled with daily gratitude to God/Universe, indoor cycling and weightlifting, hiking, walking, teaching and taking yoga and meditation classes, working as a court reporter for 39 years, a wife of 36 years and mother of two adults.  I loved to read, travel, hike, practice yoga and meditation, work out, study nutrition and world religions, be with friends, and just had a great sense of self and well-being.  [Genetically my father’s side of the family lived healthy, very long lives.  My thought was I would live like my grandmother who died at 106 years and was functioning well until about 103.  The only health issues I had was a thyroidectomy at 52 years of age (my 106-year-old grandmother had had one, too), meniscus surgery at 56 years of age, and a hip replacement at 60 years of age.]

April  7, 2021, one week after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine (March 31, 2021), my life changed for the worse.  I awoke with tinnitus, a feeling of overstimulation of nerves, and total insomnia, meaning I never felt tired and could not fall asleep at all.  I had always been a good sleeper and loved my sleep.  It was over.

During the next few months, I visited primary care physicians, and was diagnosed with anxiety and given different medications for sleep and anxiety.  I lost 20 pounds in two months.  My TSH levels (thyroid) and blood pressure levels greatly fluctuated.  My heart would pound very fast just walking ten steps and wouldn’t recover for a long period of time.  I visited the ER twice because I felt as if I were having a heart attack.  In the back of my head I thought it could be due to the vaccine, but did not want to believe that my government and pharmaceutical companies would do anything to harm anyone.  I had total trust in the medical industry.  I started becoming depressed and had feelings of suicide, so I decided to go into an outpatient treatment center thinking that if it is anxiety and depression, I would treat it through counseling and medications.  It did not help as my brain could not process thoughts and feelings.  My symptoms would change from one hour to the next every day.

As time went on, I ceased teaching yoga because I could not organize the poses.  I lost the ability to meditate.  I could not work out as usual and eventually all working out ceased.  I worked on Zoom doing depositions but eventually had to stop as I could not retain words.  My whole being became so sensitive that I couldn’t read, watch TV, be in sunlight, or listen to music or conversation.  I became isolated because going out there was too much commotion, and I could follow simple tasks.  I lost my cognitive abilities, my ability to organize, and, most frightening of all, my connection with the world as I knew it. I lost connection with people, birds, animals, God/Universe, nature, and life.  There were months at a time that I would cry all the time.

I kept looking for a doctor who would know what to do including an OBGYN and psychiatrist.  My PCP was kind, but was dumbfounded.  Because of the fluctuating thyroid levels, which he said he had never seen anything like it, I went to the head endocrinologist at the local medical center.  The endocrinologist told me he had had about ten patients with similar thyroid issues after having the vaccine.  That made me realize it was due to the vaccine.  I went to a naturopath in Pasadena and spent several thousand dollars for the many treatments of Ozone IVs and supplements which helped for a few days but not permanently.

My husband and I had planned on moving to Florida to be near our daughter and son-in-law, so we sold our home.  My husband took care of all the duties of selling our home except when I just signed my name where he pointed.  In June, we went to Florida for a week to find a place to move.  During this time I visited a doctor in our town who treated patients with Covid, long Covid, and vaccine injury.

She ran many blood tests and then diagnosed me with vaccine injury.  We also found out about AVIV Clinics in our town, and visited with the doctor at the facility.  After speaking with the doctor and researching the treatment of hyperbaric and stem cell growth, I felt that would be my best option to recover.

When we got home, my health kept deteriorating.  I had tremors and convulsions.  I was crying a lot during this time.  We had sold our home in California, and my husband did all of the legwork for the sale as I was not able to do much except sign papers where he guided me to sign.  He also packed most of our items to move as I did not have the mental capacity to pack or organize.  Our pregnant daughter flew out from Hawaii and packed my items.  My husband drove the car with our cat across the country while our daughter flew me to Florida, and stayed with us to help me with daily functioning.

I went to AVIV Clinics and was given many tests including blood tests, chest x-ray, MRI, and SPECT scans.  When the results came back, I had the pre-assessment with the medical staff.  The doctor went over all my tests, and when it came to the SPECT scan, he was able to definitely diagnose what was happening with me.  I had brain damage in a particular way to my frontal lobes and basal ganglia which, from AVIV’s research out of Israel, was evidence that the damage was from the Covid virus, whether from the virus or the vaccine.

Five days a week for three months, I spent my time at AVIV Clinic in Florida following their protocol of the scientifically researched hyperbaric treatment, physical therapy, cognitive therapy, nutrition and psychological counseling.  It was an up-and-down experience, but I was feeling better as time went on.

About 2 ½ weeks after the treatment, my world opened up and I was finally able to feel in touch with life.  I still have tinnitus and overactive nerves but they are much milder.  Blood tests do show that I now have lupus virus after the vaccine, which I will have to live with for the rest of my life.  I am stringent about a low-histamine diet, juicing, and have neuroacupuncture treatments to help.  I finally feel strong again within, can organize and do tasks such as paying bills and cook, am now able to cycle again, and will soon be teaching yoga again.  Socially, life is good.  I do things with new friends like play golf, do yoga, have dinner, socialize, and love spending time with our grandson.
