Symptom narrative

Our daughter was well prior to the shot. she had had a minor sniffle cold few weeks prior. She had a nearly immediate reaction to the booster. The site of where the shot was administered became highly inflamed and over a couple days turned into a base ball shaped mass under her skin. Then an onslaught of symptoms followed within a week of the shot, and continued since. First dark circles under her eyes, a sore throat and became very lethargic and almost depressed. Then her hair started shedding in small clumps and strands. We had blood tests done, which showed low vitamin D and iron and more were ordered, showing a rapid onset of an autoimmune response with high levels of antibodies present and Hashimoto's Disease.
