Personal Account of Vaccine Injury and Medical Challenges
As a result of my vaccine injury,
I was forced into medical retirement at just 46 years old.
A career that I loved ended
abruptly with no opportunity to choose when or how it would end.
These conditions are dynamic, they're evolving and they're not well understood.
This journey ultimately led me to the United States in 2023
and again in 2024 in search of private medical care.
Specialized diagnostics, selling my dental practice, crowdfunding
and eventually brain surgery with a biopsy to relieve brain compression.
$148,000 for the brain surgery alone.
No one in Canada would help me.
They would see the onset of my injury and reject the referrals.
Since then, I've been diagnosed with numerous neurological and immune-mediated conditions.
and it would take years of self-advocacy to be seen.
These conditions continue to progress rapidly, as they do for many Canadians across this country,
and without early recognition in medical care, the
prognosis is poor.
We are still living with the consequences of the past six years.
The exhaustion, the division, the distress, the
damage that never truly healed.
There has been no acknowledgment, no meaningful support,
no medical care where promised, no
accountability.
A society that refuses to learn from its past eventually relives what
it failed to confront.
I live with vision loss,
nerve damage, loss of feelings throughout my face and my limbs, and
ongoing white matter brain lesions.
I experience difficulty maintaining upright position, balance impairment,
and relentless neurological pain.
Sharp electric shocks, burning sensations, zapping
pain, numbness occur every single minute of every single day.
for five years.
Brain inflammation, all due to an immune response
that has never resolved.
Ongoing cystic masses in multiple organs, including my brain.
I spend 90% of my life homebound.
Bedbound.
