Well, I have been told by different doctors that I should call you and report it and also then I want to know if there are any other cases and what I can do to get better." "I see a doctor and I went to a year of steroid infusion (Name could not be clarified hence, suspect captured as Unspecified steroid Infusion) but it turns out when they tested me after the year there was no change from the prior year when I started them and So, I tested 'that after' infusions where I could walk but it turns out that it must have been this medication (COVID Vaccine). It took away my spasm and but I still, I know it's, I have been off the infusion since Jul, last Jul was my last infusion. So, I know it is the medication (COVID Vaccine) that has made it where I can stand up and walk for a good and I cannot stand very long but my legs and my hands are numb."
