“The toll on my body eventually led to major surgery.”

Sarah Greenwood

Five seconds after my one dose of Pfizer, the tingling and numbness started.

Genetic testing revealed three gene mutations, triggering Familial Mediterranean Fever and YAO Syndrome – autoinflammatory conditions that keep my immune system in a constant state of attack on my own body. I was also diagnosed with Post Vaccination Syndrome, severe dysautonomia, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

I faint multiple times a day, my heart rate spikes to 200 BPM, my skin turns purple, the entire left side of my body remains numb, and I suffer from daily fevers.

My brother took one dose of the same vaccine and developed transverse myelitis.

Every day is another hospital appointment, another specialist, another trial – still trying to figure out how to treat this, as it continues to progress.
