What's this?

I feel for you.

Sadly you'll get told repeatedly here and elsewhere that it's impossible for the vaccine to have caused your symptoms. I've already hashed this out multiple times here and don't really want to spark another debate. I will just say that there are some medical professionals out there who will take you seriously, but it will probably take some digging and persistence. There are lots of reports of people with similar struggles all over the internet. Sadly, people who had no vaccine reaction seem to use their personal experience as evidence that it's impossible for anyone else to have reacted negatively.

I'm no doctor, but you might ask your doctor about a D-dimer test if he/she hasn't already explored that with you. That could indicate blood clotting issues. Other folks seem to have developed ME/CFS post-vaccine. I'm not saying it's definitely related, but at the same time, there are far too many cases like yours for the medical community to simply cast you aside and tell you it's in your head. That is the definition of evil, in my opinion.

Hang in there, and good luck. I will keep you in my prayers.
