Speaking with a daughter who is calling on behalf of her mother in regards to the Pfizer shot. Her mother had a bad reaction to the Pfizer shot. Clarified that caller was referring to the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. Mother had the adverse reaction a week after receiving the second vaccine. Caller's dad thought the change in her mother was just general fatigue from the side effects. On the seventh day after the second vaccine, mother couldn't talk or walk. Thought she had a stroke. Neuro cognitive specialist saw her and said it was definitely an adverse reaction to the vaccine. Doing physical therapy with her, paying someone to help bath and care for her. Mother has now fallen twice and has continually declined since the vaccine. Thought she had Parkinson or Gullian Barre, had her tested twice for stroke, but all that was ruled out. One of the neurologists were saying it was dementia, but that not what the neuroscientist says. Caller has never seen anything like this. Its like her mother had a stoke, she was not like that until the shot. Mother is still continent and can feed herself. Mother can't walk or talk without getting the vaccine. Taking her back and forth and rehab because mother can't do in patient rehab without being admitted to hospital. First vaccine was great, there were no problems with the first one. She has lost a lot of weight which is probably good since she can't hardly walk. Wants to rehab her and get her better. but nothing is working. In the report that the neurocognitive specialists did, the doctor put the vaccine as the Moderna covid-19 vaccine, but that was a mistake. Neurologist office had it documented right, so she didn't bother them to have it changed. Mother had a neuropsychological evaluation. Found out from the nurse practitioner) NP) at the neurologist that they were doing steroids and Gama globulins like crazy. Her mother slightly got better, but then fell again. And, she keeps falling because she doesn't have the same muscle tone so she used. Caller has had her checked for everything. No previous reaction to any vaccines. no other vaccines. Mother was on a thyroid medication and insulin. Since all this has happened, mother is now on an antidepressant, memory medication, changed insulin medications and addressed everything that could be affecting her. Had her mother's thyroid assessed, insulin assessed, put her on a blood sugar pump, switched her insulin. Caller is doing her part. She had been on her insulin, thyroid medication, and metformin for years prior to all this. Now is on Ozempic, Tresiba, thyroid medication, antidepressant, and Aricept for memory.
