Symptoms: Difficulty in walking, Hypotonia, Pyrexia
Clinical narrative: it is now almost a year since the health department offered influenza and pneumonia shots. I received mine on 11/08/01. I was a healthy person who walked 2 miles a day, strong back, strong bones and muscles. Since the shots, I've been crippled with sciatica up to mid-September of this year, and left with a weakened back forever. The shots were particularly painful. For two nights, I ran a fever, and for a week, could not turn in bed for the pain of rolling onto either shoulder. Within two to three weeks, my feet felt peculiar, as if with a circulation problem. A daily two-mile walk did not clear the sensation. Then something was starting to happen in my lower back. There started to be a twinge in the lumbar region with every step. I attributed it to the vaccine shots, and trusted it to wear off. But it got worse. As luck would have it, in March this year I was treated to a massage by a licensed physical therapist. She believed I had sciatica. By then, I was having trouble getting out of bed and trying to walk, and could only do so by bending over and limping onto my good right leg. For seven months I could sleep only on my right side in the fetal position. Frequency became a problem, not only as if an internal pressure or swelling were the cause, but the sheer pain of trying to get to the bathroom, sometimes crawling, three or four times a night was a nightmare. By May, and the next several months, I was crippled with pain in a very limited life. A neighborhood doctor prescribed Darvocet and rest. I did not open the bottle. A friend insisted that I have chelation. Another doctor was assigning me to get an epidural cortisone shot. Instead, I went to a health food store to ask if there was a product able to remove toxins from the body. A jar of Liverclean and another of ecchinacea was suggested. I asked my doctor to assign me to a physical therapy clinic where the first two weeks in September consisted of electrical stimulation and heat. These did nothing. I managed to walk in, but departed, limping. I asked to use the machines, especially the stationary bicycles. Miraculously, the sciatica in my left leg was gone in two weeks after doing these work outs and dosing with the detox formula. As an uneducated guess, I suspect the vicious neurotoxin, mercury, in the two vaccine shots as having gone directly to the nerve center and attacking the soft tissue of the L4-L5 vertebrae (shown in MRI) in my spine. The best response from three doctors, when asked about mercury, was that I must be allergic to mercury. Even though I'm free of sciatica, there is permanent damage done to my spine. I now must move cautiously, carefully load and unload groceries, get in or out of the car, avoiding twisting while bending, or pushing a sweeper, mop , or vacuuming. Walking at my old pace is no longer possible, and standing for any length of time begins to hurt. I am grateful, however, for finally being able to sleep on either my left or right sides.
