Symptom narrative

1st dose was oct 2021 and 2nd dose was Nov 2021. After 3rd dose I started getting congestion, achy body and overall feeling that I was getting sick. Arm was swollen, red and painful. I contacted pharmacy to let them know that I was having these symptoms. Was told to take over the counter medicine but I just let the symptoms ride out without taking any medications. About a month later I was working and then I felt a pain in my left shoulder. At 2 in morning my arm was getting more painful. By the time I woke up I was in severe pain, and my arm was swollen. I went to work, and they gave me an x-ray and I did PT on my own. It got some better but a week later this happened again in my right shoulder and arm. I went to the ER 7/11/2023 I was given a Toradol shot and prednisone. After going back to work I tripped and fell that caused me to have the same symptoms in my legs that I had in my shoulders. The pain started progressing to where I couldn't walk, sit, turn my head, hold a fork or spoon or use the bathroom. My shoulders and hands became swollen, and I couldn't go back to work. I was almost paralyzed for 6 months. AMD doctor thinks she developed rheumatoid arthritis. My rheumatologist Dr at the arthritis medical clinic confirmed this dx. I seem to have had GBS after having the Covid vaccinations. I have nerve and ligament damage. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and ganglion cyst. I am no longer being treated for these symptoms as there is not anything I can do. I just have to live with it for the rest of my life and forcing myself to work after being on disability.
