Symptom narrative

After the second vaccine in 2021 about a week or 2 later i started to get pain in both hips and im not feeling well and i was feeling very ran down, i lost my appitete. It was July and I was working from home and trying to walk this off and it kinda worked but my legs started given out and i started getting muscle weakness in both legs and then i started getting bad nerve pain in both my legs. After that I started going to doctors and i saw someone in pain management and they gave me some pain med and steriod injections in the spine, and i did tell them that this started after the vaccines and they did do some spine MRIS. I saw a rumetologist and they said i needed to see a nuerologist. Bu they did not see anything on the MRI. but did see there was weakness in the lower area but did know why. I then started bouncing around do differe nuerologist but i did find one that liked. Over time it did start to get worse and my back gave out around January. It became clear that i have some type of spinal issues. I am now bed ritten from August 2022 until today. I did have treatment in 08/2022 - 08/2023 i did have treatment with IVIG and there was some imporved in 2023 but the doses were way to high. I did consult with nuero sugreys in summer of 2022 and ortho. I was hospitalized last year in April into May of 2024 and they ran some test and i dont know how I got relasead in my condition with 2 cans. I was referred to their own infection dieases speciallist. I did get increase level of muscles weakness. 4 weeks after the vaccine i did have to start using a single cane. I progressed to 2 cans sometime in 2023. The pain is not manageable. The more i try to walk to the muscles weakness gets worse. I also started to get muscle weakness in the arms. I do have a letter for Sept 09, 2025 that i did develop Severe post acute covid syndrome. Letter states all findings from acute covid syndrome. Neuro is stating that my spinal cord is disfunctional. I having a systemic spinal dysfunction. When i eat larger meals that causes the symptoms to worsen.
