This is year 5. I will soon be 41. In 2021, I made a personal medical decision under significant social pressure and fear. Fear of losing my children as a labelled anti-vax parent in the court of law was the decision maker – this was happening to parents here in Canada.

At the time, I did not feel I had full freedom in that choice. In the weeks and months that followed, my health began to change drastically.

Approximately six weeks after my first dose, I experienced a neurological episode involving an electrical sensation in my brain, body seizure activity, and fainting.

Bloodwork at the time was reported as normal and I was told it was stress-related.

Over time, I continued to notice changes in my body. My menstrual cycle altered in texture, tone, and colour. After my second dose, I experienced a severe reaction lasting approximately 72 hours where I was largely incoherent and required assistance with basic functioning.

In the weeks that followed, I developed facial and ocular skin rashes, including a diagnosis of rosacea affecting the eye area, along with additional inflammatory symptoms. I also experienced lymph node inflammation at the injection site.

By early 2022, my condition had escalated significantly. I experienced severe gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms, including difficulty eating, loss of smell and taste, instability while walking, profound fatigue, cognitive impairment, sleep disruption, loss of bladder control, and discolouration in extremities.

I also experienced significant and rapid weight loss over a short period of time, along with ongoing nerve-like sensations in my hands and feet.

I had developed over 50 signs and symptoms to my “perfect bill of health” body as quoted by my family physician during my initial doctor visit post injection.

At that stage, I began pursuing specialist assessment. My earlier bloodwork had been considered normal, but later testing identified positive result for Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and a Vitamin B12 deficiency. I have also undergone neurological testing, incuding MRI and EEG.

I eventually pursued additional support outside of conventional care, including naturopathic treatment aimed at supporting detoxification and systemic recovery. His main focus was resetting my Gylcocalyx. I also began using nutritional supplementation, parasite cleanse, laser and frequency therapy, as part of my recovery process.

I am still rebuilding my health. I have experienced significant periods of improvement however continue to have ongoing challenges.

My ability to work and function was significantly impacted during this period. I closed my practice and retired my Massage Therapy license. I have been gradually rebuilding my life.

I continue to work toward recovery – physically, neurologically, and metabolically. I am still healing and still navigating the long-term effects of what my body has been through.
