I wonder if there are more people like me out in COVID-land.
On April 19, I received my first COVID shot, Moderna, at SEAPARC in Sooke. I warned the nurse to make sure he hit the right spot, given my skinny upper arm. Shortly after my shot, I felt shooting, burning pain but was told that was normal.
Fast forward roughly six weeks. My left arm remained sore, so I called Island Health for advice, and after being on the phone for an hour, answering multiple questions, I got a response about two months later. It was likely that a nerve was hit by mistake, and my arm would improve soon.
When I got my second Moderna shot in July, I had the nurse administer it in my right arm, and all was fine.
ItB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s been over six months since my first Guinea pig experience, and my left arm has not healed. ItB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s getting worse, limiting the use of my arm, generating constant pain and ruining my sleep. I saw my family doctor on Oct. 22, and because of the lack of muscle or fat, itB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s likely the nurse hit the wrong spot, my doctor said. Tests have been ordered.
There must be others out there who have been ill-affected by poorly administered, novel vaccines. Here I was, following bully dictates and am now suffering. Booster shots? Definitely not.
