Symptom narrative

I got a sharp pain in my throat and reported it to the CDC. I discovered 3 other people had the same reaction. There may be more now. The pain stayed around a few days, so I felt like it was a reaction from the vaccine. After getting the second dose, my throat would develop phlegm, and I had to spit a lot. I had a couple of incidents of vertigo. About 6 months ago, I noticed my throat felt strange and then a couple of weeks ago, I started spitting up and started having electrical shocks when I blow my nose. I still have phlegm and have to spit a lot and still have the electrical shocks when blowing my nose. My throat feels swollen when I touch it. It feels fleshy. I saw an ENT but they did not touch or feel my throat. I had an MRI but have had no instructions after having this procedure. I will have to wait about another year before I can see an ENT doctor again.
