Clinical narrative: I received the first dose of Moderna in March 2021. After that shot, I had difficulty walking for two weeks. When I tried to move forward, the center of my back and my sides felt very strained as if I was pulling a bus behind me. The symptoms completely went away after those two weeks. I decided not to get the second vaccine. However, around August 20, 2021, it was mandated the vaccine for teachers. My doctor refused to give me an exemption, so in order to save my carreer, I got the second dose. That was 17 weeks ago, and I have been unable to work since then. Within a day or two of the second vaccine, I had a much more severe reaction.  The vaccine devastated my nervos system.  It was 3 months before I could begin to walk beyond 20-30 steps. Something was wrong deep inside my spinal cord. It wasn't an injury because I could stretch without any muscle pain. During that time, I had concussion-like symptoms that kept me sitting in a dark room with sunglasses on.  I could not handle any screentime or flashing lights of any kind. I could not ride in a car because the movement and stimulation was intolerable. My eyes couldn't focus from one thing to another. I had continuous mild eye headaches. When I tried to walk, I had intense pressue on the back of my head and neck. It was terrible strain on my spinal cord to walk. After a handful of slow steps, I felt as if my brain wouldn't communicate with my legs to tell them to move forward. I was unable to strain my body in any way. I could not cut vegetables, couldn't carry objects without cradling them to my chest. I could not push/pull a vaccuum cleaner. I was extremely sick and weak for those first 3 months. I was unable to work, to drive, to exercise, or to take care of my household. After exerting myself or using my eyes, I had to sleep in order to relieve the discomfort and ease the cognitive stress that I felt from using my eyes. In the fourth month, my symptoms began to subside. I have slowly increased the distance that I can walk and the light sensitivity has eased. I am just beginning to handle the stimulation of being in a car and in public places. I can drive short distances, but my eyes are very strained. I am a fourt grade teacher and I have not even met my class this year.    09/03/2021 - all tests came back normal  Complete Blood Count, with Differential -     Comprehensive Metabolic Panel; Future -     TSH Reflex Free T4; Future -     Comprehensive Metabolic Panel -     TSH Reflex Free T4 -     Ganglioside Gm-1 Antibody, IgG, IgM  09/23/2021 - Brain MRI with Contrast - results were normal  10/01/2021 - Emergency Room Visit Blood Tests - all came back negative or in normal ranges Miscellaneious Test, ARUP Sedimentation Rate C3 Complement C$ Complement C-Reative Protein JO-1 Antibody Aldolase, Seru ANA, IGG by ELISA w REflex to HEP-2 Lyme Disease Giemsa Stain   10/19/2021 - Neurological exam with Dr. - results were normal; adverse neurological effects from vaccine should diminish over time I was given a 5-day steroid pack.
