I give full permission for my injury and name to be used if it means it will help others, here is my story...
I had surgery coming up in December last year for a nerve wrap in my arm (second one) being pretty extensive if I don't have it, give it a few months my arm would be horrendously sore and painful to use.
Of course if I wasn't fully jabbed by then the hospital said my surgeon would not operate.
With no other options I could've taken I then had my first jab on October the 29th; within hours I had manageable left sided chest pain that lasted a day, fatigue, a rash on the right side of my body ( I have Coeliac disease, but I hadn't touched any gluten) and a horrible migraine.
I got the second jab on the 20th of November 2021; after just 3 hours I had horrible chest pain, a migraine and an itchy rash all over my entire body, then within 24 hours I couldn't breath and had intense left sided chest pain, ended up in the ambo and the hospital told me it was my asthma or could be anxiety... it felt as though my throat was the size of a straw and someone was ripping my chest open.
I went home early hours the next morning with some pain meds after them putting me on nebulisers that didn't work and giving me high dose painkillers that weren't doing much.
They also did blood tests for clots and myocarditis, they came back just in the zone.
That night I was in the hospital again, pain absolutely insane along with breathing as it hurt. There were at least 5 other people we saw in the ED dealing with the same thing. The doc realised we knew about side affects and finally gave up hiding it, he said I have an inflammation of my chest wall which is now spreading all over both sides. He said it IS an adverse side affect and it IS from the jab.. may be days, may be weeks.
My left arm then felt dead/heavy and my hand cramped quite often to the point I couldn't move it, the pain spread and nothing seemed to get rid of it.
My chest pain had then travelled across to my right side, my left arm was very weak, crampy and painful. My right arm had started to do the same.
I had constant stabbing pain in the left side of my chest and my entire chest right down to just below my rib cage was swollen, I am normally in size 10-12 sports bra and after 3 days I was in a 16 and even that was getting tight just from the swelling around my rib cage.
I then had a doctors appointment on the Friday following to do more bloods and x-rays as the first x-rays on Monday showed I had a globular heart but they did not follow up Tuesday.
I ended up in hospital again the following Wednesday and the big bosses wanted me to go on nerve blockers/anti depressants!! They told us that they couldn't find anything and basically wanted me to think I was making it up. My lungs felt like they were burning and my left side of my chest and arm was still awfully painful.
I then ended up in hospital again on the Saturday morning with Tachycardia for the 6th time. They then prescribed me anxiety pills and told me counselling and meditation would be good...!!??
As of today I've currently been sitting in a wheelchair for the past 3 months because I can't feel my left leg whatsoever. I have talked to a few docs and my main one has said that it is attacking my nervous system. Everything else has been going okay now except the heart palpitations and high resting heart rate and also the chest pain every now and then. I have absolutely no energy at all to do anything.
I have been waiting for a heart monitor for the last 4 months and I've also been referred to Neurology and Cardiology.
All for a surgery I couldn't delay but now I have no other choice as I can't go under anaesthetic because my heart won't be able to handle it.. it's not worth it, at all!
