Symptom narrative

About fifteen minutes after, as I was outside waiting for my ride I experienced a series of alarming side effects: first it was a vision problem, then severe dizziness and confusion that lasted for several hours. I had trouble seeing the ramp to access the bus and finding the seat belt. Thanks to the caring driver I could safely return home. Next morning I woke up to severe pain in my left arm, that extended to all the left side of my body. I had trouble standing as my left hip and left knee seem very wobbly and unable to sustain my weight. This condition as remained like that to this day, and seems to be permanent. No pain reliever was able to allow me recover the complete use of my left leg and hip. What worries me is that it has affected my ability to walk already somehow a little diminish due to my age. I am eighty seven and experience the normal decline in the agility that I had before. I had the Moderna vaccine before twice without any side effects. I feel that I have the duty to report my reaction to warn other elderly person about possible severe side effects of the new vaccine.
