Question:
Background information; I am 64yrs white female living in Birmingham, Alabama, and have CVID treated with subcutaneous immune globulin and autoimmune D/O’s. -After each vaccine, I have had strange reactions such as Inflammation of internal organs, yet different each time. With each vaccine, the physical reactions have gotten unceasingly severe. The last shot I had was last Feb. 2022; Within 24 hours I first collapsed unconscious and wound up in Intensive Care for a week, disoriented for the first 2 days after the initial collapse into unconsciousness. The doctors did every test they could think of without finding a cause for this ‘problem’. I am now very afraid of continuing to get boosters and I need to know what you think.
