Clinical narrative: I got the 1st Pfizer Injection on April 12th. I was feeling very bad after the vaccine. Dizziness and lethargic but I just pressed on thinking this was normal.  Friday night I was feeling particularly bad and went to bed early. I woke up Saturday morning with partial vision loss to my left eye and was diagnosed with ocular stroke. I still have vision loss although a small amount of my vision returned.  Or maybe did not return but light filters through, but still lower inner peripheral vision loss remains.  I went to on call eye doctor over the weekend and received the dx of ocular stroke.  It was devastating.  Then on the next Wedndesday my neurological issues had gotten so much worse I was in the hospital for 5 days. They started working me up for auto-immune issues that could cause vision loss but nothing was checking out.  I went home from the hospital feeling slightly better but I believe I felt better from the high-dose steroids they had started me on.  I then later got worse and my face swelled.  I had horrible pain moving around my body and at one point into my spine.  I thought I was dying.   The only thing I can say is I had been having undiagnosed symptoms over the last 5 years (not related to vision) but my doctor kept telling me things checked out.  I voiced the symptoms to other physicians.  All told me I was fine.  When I kept getting sicker after the vaccine my PCP finally realized he had never checked my B12 level although I had low vitamin D persistent despite treatment.  We checked my B12 and it was under 200.  I have since started B12 injections and some of my neuro symptoms have improved but not all of them.  I am still having tremors and dizziness at times so debilitating I have to lay down.  None of the doctors believe the ocular stroke is related to the B12 deficiency.   I saw a functional doctor later and he did not feel ocular stroke was from low B12 either, but he did say the COVID vaccine might have been the thing that pushed my immune system over the edge when I had already been symptomatic for years from the low B12 and chronic issues.  My functional doctor is not anti-vaccine but told me I should not unnecessarily stress my immune system while we work to get me better.   My functional doctor said he could not entirely rule out the vaccine causing some of my neuro symptoms though along with the ocular stroke and that it could be a combination of both causing the issues.  I am now on quality supplements and B12 injections weekly until my neuro symptoms stop improving.  I have improved on the numbness and burning in my feet, improved numbness in my hands.  My heart palpitations are almost gone.  My Shortness of breath I had been suffering from is greatly improved.  I have not had a migraine since starting the B12 injections.  I am still suffering from debilitating dizziness and tremors.  I still have the blind spot in my eye.  Since none of the doctors feel the ocular stoke can be explained by B12 deficiency I am reporting the ocular stroke as a potential adverse reaction post COVID vaccine since I have read that others had blood clots related to the vaccine.
