Their Stories

Nasal inflammation, Lip pain and Hemoglobin decreased

6.5.2021 – I still have the fever blister sore on my top lip which developed the evening of my vaccination day. The nasal congestion and running nose that started yesterday has decreased along with the nose bleed. It seems as if the nose bleeding was coming from capillaries within the nasal cavity, which not not running but notice when I would wipe inside my nose. That has stopped today and no running nose although I continue to sneeze. Oh I forgot to mention yesterday that the sneezing started in the day of the vaccine. nose t

6.6.2021 – Minor pain occasionally from the fever blister and pain a d tenderness around entire the nose. Still some muscle twitching in the mouth area at night and early morning. Fever blister started forming scalp toda sti some pain and soarnrss around that but minor. Taking Nasacort now for nose sniffles and sneezing

6.7.2021 – Just soreness around the nose, the entire nasal cavity appears to be inflamed and sore. Other than that, Im doing fine. Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I did call my doctor on day 2 to get nasacort.

6.8.2021 – Nose still a bit inflamed and tender but no pain. Also fever blister still healing I know conventional wisdom days these are not resulting from the vaccine but the reality is, I was in my doctors office 1 hour prior to vaccine for routine exam, healthy with no symptoms nor indication of any of these 2. So perhaps CDC should be looking at correlations instead of just causality since its clear to me the vaccine triggered something in my body that led to the cold/flu like symptoms and the fever blister on mouth and nose bleeding. No history at all of nose bleeding that was new to me.

6.10.2021 – Just the nasty fever blister. Also I dont think the chills is from the vaccine though I have a mildly low hemoglobin rate and was periodically having chills in my bones before the vaccine.

7.7.2021 – I actually had no symptoms after my 2nd shot. Earlier I reported joint swelling but it was actually ankle swelling that was related to me doing over 13K steps that day on hard wooed floors that happened before apart from vaccination.
