Symptom narrative

I was required by my employer to have the vaccine, or be fired. Within 4-6 hours of the first injection, I broke out into shingles on the back of my neck, right side. As I was already on Gabapentin, Dr. (now deceased) called in a rx of Valtrex to help alleviate the issue with shingles. As time went on, I began developing issues with balance, frequent falls that landed me in the ER, passing out, and multiple specialty visits. I was officially diagnosed with POTS in April 2025; it is a general consensus this is likely d/t the COVID vaccines I was required to take in order to maintain my job. My PCP did not permit me to have a COVID vaccine in 2024 as a result of the +2 years of testing / follow-ups I had been going through to find a diagnosis.
