I have GCA from Covid-19 vac. no health issues before the jab. I am legally blind in left eye & partial in right eye. Makes driving an daily chores challenging. I am no longer driving to many near misses due to poor depth perseption for one eye. I got 1st shot at pharmacy on Tues 4/7/21. Two (days) later on Thursday I started a (horrible) neck, head pain. Got worse where I couldn't lay me head on side of pillow. Doctor at time dismissed it as nerves & stress. Told to relax and wait. It kept getting worse, now my jaws were painful. Few weeks later I started losing my vision in upper left of left eye. Next day upper right portion, then lower left and lower right portion. Called eye doc. said to see optomologist ASAP. That was Thursday of same week. Did test and blood work. Sedrate over 100 ASAP get 80mg. prednesone started. On Monday did biopsy of left temple, yes I have GCA. Stayed on 80mg of pred so right eye wont go. for many, many months. That worked, eye doc said I had stoke in eye and dead opticle nerves, sight will never come back. Went on Acterma Acti pen 1xwk, now on tyene inject. Was on methotraxte & folic now 4yr. later no longer on that. To keep treating me doc said to get 2nd shot. No!! but I did. Said no more 'live' vaccines After many months of being on high dose of pred. 80mg. so right eye won't go, it caused my spine to become pithy. Within that 2nd year I had total of 11 comp. fractures which were Kpoplastied, cemented. Last yr. 24 I developed spinal stenosis with facet fractures L4 & L5. Have had 3 epidurals and now '25 waiting for another process to releive pain & sciatic nerves. I hope the worst is over, I have great doctors here locally, as I did in another city. I looked into compensation but because I am retired & insurance takes care of my bills so far, I am denied. I also get state aid. I don't agree because my life is severely reduced, And no independence. But I am thankful, I could have been blind if not for my opthmologist. There are a few other people with same devestation after Covid-19 vac. I hope my problem will help research and study. I guess at early onset of Covid-19 vacc. not much was known abt. side effects. I happened to be one of a few who didn't recover.
