Symptom narrative

I received the pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in November of 2022. I started to have symptoms in my feet and hands. Tingling and pins and needles feeling in both hands and feet. It progressively got worse. Then on 4/15/2023, I fell flat on my face and could not feel my legs at all. I had to be carried out of the building I was in and taken to an urgent care/Hospital where they told me to see a neurologist. I saw a neurologist on 5/9/2023. She looked at me, examined me, and sent me straight to the ER at the closest hospital. She knew something was not right. I had always taken Moderna COVID but this one time, I was given the Pfizer and that caused this disease to activate and come out so prominently. After every test possible, a spinal tap, multiple attempts at IVIG, I was diagnosed with CMT type 1A. The doctors at the hospital stated that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination brought the genetic disease out so prominently. Since I've had this disease for as long as I've lived, and it had stayed dormant, they had come to the conclusion that this vaccination, brought my disease to surface and now I am highly disabled. I can't feel my feet, have tingling in my hands and can barely walk or pick up every day objects. I'm currently in a clinical trial but there is no cure for my disease since it is genetic. I wish I would have never taken the pfizer vaccine. I probably would have still been living a normal life.
