Symptom narrative

Shortly after my second vaccine-I developed high fever, body aches, generally feeling awful. After these symptoms went away, I developed joint problems-swelling and pain in my joints that never went away. I eventually went to my dr who did blood work and my CRP was so very high. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis from my covid vaccine.
