\u00a0I am a mother to four children and prior to my vaccination, I worked full time in customer service.\u00a0 I can\u2019t tell you how much I loved my job!\u00a0 I was a fairly active person.\u00a0 I loved walking my dog and swimming and my social life was important to me too.\u00a0 I always had something or other planned.\u00a0 My health had always been good.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t against getting the vaccine and they told us that if the adults got it, the children wouldn\u2019t have to.\u00a0 I wanted to protect the wee ones, not just my own children.\u00a0 I took my first Astra Zeneca on 18th<\/sup> March 2021 and had moderate side effects for about 5 days.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t feel too worried as we had been given a leaflet saying this was normal.\u00a0 That night though, I had one of the most uncomfortable nights sleep of my life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u00a0I had a fever and was unable to regulate my body temperature and ached all over, despite taking ibuprofen and paracetamol.\u00a0 A cough developed and I had a strange pain behind my eyes, but carried on as usual.\u00a0 I got my 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0Astra Zeneca on 15th<\/sup>\u00a0June 2021.\u00a0 After two weeks I started to display a huge list of symptoms that intensified over the next few months.\u00a0 I was experiencing bad headaches, nausea, migratory chronic pain over the majority of my body, dizziness and disorientation, like my brain didn\u2019t know what it was doing anymore.\u00a0 I\u2019d get major brain fog and have problems remembering things.\u00a0 I had notable weakness down the right side of my body with the sensation of pins and needles. My legs began to jerk, jump and shake out of the blue and I would often lose my balance. I borrowed a friend\u2019s set of crutches in order to move around.\u00a0 One day I noticed my face was drooping on one side, my facial muscles were just not working and I couldn\u2019t control them.\u00a0 I have no energy, I feel sick a lot of the time, have toothache, earache and even my vision is deteriorating.\u00a0 The list of my symptoms seems endless.\u00a0 I was diagnosed eventually with Functional Neurological Disorder and the doctors say they can\u2019t rule out mini strokes.\u00a0\u00a0 A referral was put in for me to see the pain clinic as they believe I may have central chronic pain disorder too.\u00a0 I am on several pain medications but nothing seems to help.\u00a0 The only way to describe it is like a toothache from my hair down to my toes.\u00a0 Some days I can\u2019t even leave my bed and I have trouble sleeping because my body jerks.\u00a0 I am worried I am scaring my own children.\u00a0 This has had a massive impact on my mental health and sometimes I feel suicidal.\u00a0 I also have bad asthma, that any scent can set off and can\u2019t stand strong smells. I can\u2019t take part in any of the activities I used to, and my mother has to do the school run for me.\u00a0 Life is extremely hard for me at the moment but I will keep fighting and won\u2019t give up!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
