Clinical narrative: After both vaccine injections in March, 2021, I had very few side effects.  The only effects were exhaustion, dizziness, rashes and bruises.  However, over the next few weeks my Hashimoto's Disease and Graves Disease both flared up rapidly!    After three years of treatment, I received my first good autoimmune disease blood tests of normalcy in June, 2019.  Then in July, 2019 I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Inflammatory Breast Cancer that was HER2 positive fed.  After a year of chemotherapy treatments from August, 2019 to August, 2020 both of the autoimmune conditions started showing improvements regarding my severe symptoms in approximately February, 2021. Additional information for Item 18:  I was loosing weight, having more energy, my dry mouth, skin, hair, eyes, nails, feet, hands, nose, ears, etc. were improving and I was not overheating as much as all the years prior to being diagnosed with Hashimoto's and Graves.    However, after the Pfizer vaccine injections, during the first week in April, 2021, I was miserable!  I had difficulty sleeping, staying awake at night and sweating, nervousness, pain in all of my joints and muscles.  Severe chronic crippling pain after sitting in a chair, driving a car, etc.  I suddenly had a heel spur on my left heel that created tremendous pain in walking and I had to use a cane and wear prosthetic supports in my shoes and wear only my support tennis shoes every day and around the house.  In efforts to walk, I had to lean more on my right leg which created pain in my right knee, ankle and foot.  I have had headaches, body aches, muscle and joint pain, extreme dryness, constant bouts of dizziness, sleeplessness, back pain & unbearable exhaustion.  None of my doctors or endocrinologist knew what to do.   I have been very worried that this extreme inflammatory pain was going to kick-start my cancer again!  Some of my doctors were worried as well.    I studied the Medical School advice regarding inflammation and auto immune diseases.  Although I had a very healthy diet, I started following their suggestions for a strictly anti-inflammatory diet and tweaked my diet to adding a few new things I had not purchased in awhile and throwing out of my diet a few things that weren't so good.  I also started taking an Organic Turmeric vitamin I received from my health food and vitamin store in the past month.  It is helping a little bit along with the anti-inflammatory diet, exercise & muscle relaxing massages with our home electric massage units.  I have not cured my chronic pain, but I am using the diet, turmeric, exercise and massage techniques to help keep me out of the hospital.    Please pass this information along to the pharmaceutical companies that are developing these vaccines and let them know that they are creating miserable amounts of inflammation with this vaccine that is detrimental to many of us especially those with autoimmune diseases.  I know many people who are suffering with the same ailments as myself.  Some have had the Pfizer vaccines and others have had the Moderna or the Johnson & Johnson vaccines.  All of us are miserable!
