Clinical narrative: Please see Attachments (I went To Two Diffrent Hospitals 1st Hospital on 3/29/21 The other was Hospital were all Tests and X Rays were done - complete Reports are Attached There are a couple of reasons why I am making out these papers and reporting my COVID 19 vaccination experience. At first, I was reluctant to take the shot, despite the CDC recommendation to do so. As the vaccine was unproven, I, like many others didn't jump on the bandwagon and line up for the first vaccine available. Only later, when the Johnson and Johnson vaccine became available did I decide to take the COVID 19 vaccine. I trusted the Johnson and Johnson name and considered it a longstanding, reliable company.  My two daughters were both in the Service. My youngest daughter was in the job where she was taught to read, write and speak another language. After serving for 5 years, her goal was to go into Public Education, which she did and received her Masters and later, a PHD. My other daughter is working for the government. I also have a college degree.   The reason for telling you this, is to let you know that we are well-educated professional people who think for themselves and not just believe what is told to them. My daughters chose a different path and opted not to take the vaccine. As I mentioned earlier, I waited until the Johnson and Johnson vaccine became available and elected to trust the product of a reputable company that has been around for years.   I took the shot on March 24, 2021. Unfortunately, my body didn't react well to the vaccine and I ended up in the hospital with severe pain in my stomach. My daughters, hesitant to begin with about taking the COVID vaccine, heard about my bad experience and elected not to risk taking the vaccine.   Later, my youngest daughter, the one with the PHD, was hospitalized with COVID 19. Her health suddenly deteriorated even as the disease had seemed to have run its course and her life was soon in jeopardy. She was placed on a ventilator for over two weeks and had to undergo open-heart surgery twice! Her experience was extremely hard on me, as I am 3,000 miles away from her, and in no condition to be able to go see her and had to rely only on the news my other daughter gave me.  For me, the resulting assault on my body from the vaccine was like falling off a cliff! My health and mobility hadn't been good to begin with, as I had been involved in an automobile accident years before, but I was able to do for myself and was getting around just fine. Now it is all I can do to get out of bed and get anything done! I used to be able to drive, enjoy shopping and seeing friends, but now don't have the strength or endurance for any of that! Getting back on topic to my health before the COVID 19 vaccination, After the accident years ago, through determination and hard work, I had regained some of my mobility and endurance but still had weakness and nerve damage on my left side. It took me 2 years to learn how to get around and live along for 17 years with only God to rely upon. He was my saving grace! I can't say enough words to Praise Him for his Help and guidance.  The effects of this shot 1. shortness of breath while walking a short distance 2. lightheadness upon standing, feel nauseated standing 3. Extrem weakness on my left side of Body 4 Extremely tired all the time 5. I'm using a walker whitch I never used Before covid 6. I have a Bad cough that I've never had Befor Covid I hate cigrettes and never smoked or done drugs NEVER. 7. I can't entertaine and have dinner party's like I did for every Holidays 8. My lifestyle took a Big dive I don't even reconize myself  9. I have Barber license in two states. It takes me longer then it should to do my friends hair cut Because I can't stand - so I have to sit on my walker - very frustrating...
