Symptom narrative

Cervical dystonia concentrated on left side. It presented with severe muscles spasms on left side, notably trapezius and SCM, which resulted in chronic torticollis and inability to control my head/neck. Extremely painful. Saw at least 4 neurologists and received many rounds of neurotoxin injections with no relief, before finding a doctor who could treat me effectively. Currently receiving 400 units of Botox or Daxxify every three months, however symptoms seem to be slowly improving over time, which makes me even more confident that this was an acute reaction to the booster shot. FYI I had already been fully vaccinated with Moderna and never had a reaction, but I did the Pfizer booster and my symptoms started shortly after.
