Symptom narrative

Shortly after 2nd shot experienced increased fatigue and joint pain. Continually got worse until I seemed medical help. After a few months and a couple trips to the urgent care, I suggested I may have hereditary hemochromatosis like my father. Typically does not affect patients until middle age, but I suspect the COVID vaccine caused it to set on early. My sister (not military affiliated) experienced the same symptoms shortly after her vaccinations.
