First and foremost, the following is just me giving some thoughts and opinions about C0VlD and vaccines, and cannot be construed or followed as medical advice for any person or situation, nor should it be taken as advice for any diagnosis or treatment. Any diagnosis or treatment plan must be between you and your doctor, and you really can’t rely, trust, or act on any information you find in this post or online because anyone (including myself) have very incomplete information and insight into your own personal medical situation. In other word’s this is not to be construed as medical advice for anyone under any circumstances. <br />
<br />
First, I want to point out that our understanding and diagnosis of disease is based on past experience. It is certainly possible that there is some completely unknown medical condition linked to the VAXClNE that we do not have specific diagnostic tests or experience treating. Right now we are seeing different patterns of symptoms after an actual C0VlD infection => People are referring to these symptoms as Long Haul C0VlD Syndrome (LHCS). <br />
<br />
What the underlying cause of LHCS, how physiology is effected, what medications can treat this, and what long there effects and permanently disability might be are largely unknown. It can take many many years to sort out the specifics, treatment, and prognosis of a disease. <br />
<br />
There are also reports out there of some similar constellation of symptoms after the VAXClNE that seem to mimic Long Haul C0VlD. I have searched, but not been able to find an proven answer to what causes long haul C0VlD, but if long haul C0VlD symptoms are related to the spike protein, it would be conceivable that some people who got the VAXClNE could develop symptoms from the VAXClNE due to the spike protein produced by the VAXClNE. <br />
<br />
Usually with any disease there is a root cause, and then the down stream effects. I usually think of this from a systems based approach. For instance, if with shortness of breath, there are many system problems that can cause this, you have:<br />
<br />
1) The cardiac system composed of your heart. You can have problems with the heart itself such as damage to the heart muscle from inflammation (myocarditis) or lack of blood flow within the heard leading to tissue death (ischemia i.e. Heart attack). You can have inflammation and/or fluid collection of the sac that covers the heart called the pericardium, that can restrict the ability of the heart to move adequately. <br />
<br />
2) The pulmonary system composed of the lungs and airways. If the airways are compromised in any way then air cannot move freely in and out of the lungs. If the lung tissue is damaged then the air that gets into the lungs cannot effectively get oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide. <br />
<br />
3) The vascular system is the blood vessels in your body. You actually have 2 different systems, the pulmonary which is the blood circulation to your lungs, and the systemic circulation which is the blood circulation to the rest of your body. Shortness of breath can and is often caused by blood clots in the lungs themselves. Also you can actually get high blood pressure in the lungs called pulmonary hypertension which can cause strain on the heart because it’s pushing against too much pressure - this is one thing I have been worried about with the VAXClNE and C0VlD which I’ll explain below.<br />
<br />
4) Musculoskeletal - the bones and muscles. In particular the diaphragm is critical to your day in and day out breathing. The intercostal muscles between your ribs can play a role but usually more under exertion and exercise. If there is an underlying problem with the muscle - like a myopathy (which is a disorder of the muscle) or a myositis (inflammation of the muscle) then it’s possible that could lead to shortness of breath.<br />
<br />
5) Neurological - the brain and nerves. The brain has to generate the signal and the nerves have to carry that signal out to the body. Alternatively receptors in the tissues can generate a signal, send the signal back to the brain. Say that there was some issue generating or transmitting the signal from the brain to the diaphragm. Then you could have muscle weakness that could impact the diaphragm. <br />
<br />
So the trick with new types of symptoms is to try and work through the systems and figure out where the underlying problem is. As you can see a problem in one system can actually cause problems in other systems as a secondary effect. <br />
<br />
There is obvious evidence that the vaccines are capable of causing inflammation and damage in some tissues, one of the big ones that has been confirmed is myocarditis. Although I don’t know that the exact mechanism of this inflammation is known, it is known that spike protein binds to ACE2 receptors. Now ACE2 receptors are scattered all over the body, they are located on what we call endothelial cells, which are the cells that line the inside of your blood vessels. <br />
<br />
Now, reportedly they added some sugar molecules to the binding sites of the spike protein in the VAXClNE, which they believed would make it unable to bind with ACE2 receptors. However, given that people are getting myocarditis, it’s entirely possible that things either don’t work or don’t always work exactly as these companies expected. I do want to point out that myocarditis ALSO has been documented with C0VlD infection, which leads me to believe that the cause of both is probably the same, and the only similarity of the VAXClNE and the virus is the spike protein, ergo it’s likely that the spike protein is responsible for myocarditis in both.<br />
<br />
If this is indeed the case, and as we discussed previously, ACE2 receptors are spread throughout your body, then it would be expected that spike protein from VAXClNE or infection could literally impact any tissue within the body. The question would then be, what the bio distribution of the spike protein was. Or in other words how much spike protein happened to be in the blood stream and what tissues to it go to the most in a given person. <br />
<br />
Back to Pulmonary Hypertension which we discussed briefly above. The lungs like that heart have a particularly large amount of ACE2 in the blood vessel lining. If spike protein is indeed binding to these blood vessels and causing inflammation, it is possibly causing tiny blood clots and damage the the lungs. This blood vessel damage could then lead to increased blood pressure in the lungs making the heart work harder and the lungs less efficient in their function. <br />
<br />
At this point in time there are lots of people trying to work out all the details of what is, what is not, and why it’s happening. Unfortunately right now there are a ton of open questions that do not have definitive answers. I wish I could tell you more than that. When that is the situation, then we don’t always know what tests are appropriate for diagnosis or what medication or therapy to treat.<br />
<br />
As far as possible post VAXClNE problems, we have a lot to sort out. There are some people that have started treating these VAXClNE patients similar to long haul C0VlD patients. I have heard some reports of improvement after these treatments. Please realize that improvement after a treatment does not mean that the treatment worked, it means the person improved which could have been due to either the treatment or the person naturally getting over it themselves. That’s why things need good research and study to tell the difference between the two.<br />
<br />
Here is one resource for reference about long haul C0VlD treatment people are using. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/FLCCC-Alliance-I-RECOVER-Management-Protocol-for-Long-Haul-C0VlD-19-Syndrome.pdf" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-...-Protocol-for-Long-Haul-C0VlD-19-Syndrome.pdf</a> (This link is probably broken, change the word C0VlD to the correct spelling)<br />
<br />
Certainly you should discuss this with your doctor and see if they think it is appropriate. If you disagree with your doctor you can always seek out a second option from another doctor. There are doctors that believe the VAXClNE is highly safe and some that think it is likely unsafe. So seeking out a doctor that has VAXClNE concerns will probably be the best route to go. However under no circumstances should you try to self diagnose, treat, or medicate yourself.<br />
<br />
Sorry I can’t be more helpful, at this time there are far too many unknowns, hopefully we get clarity and answers soon.

</blockquote>This response is very very noteworthy<br />
<br />
a lot of the side effects Fox describes are very similar to the ones I experienced during my long haul, post-COVID experience. I, too, panicked and went to get tested for everything my insurance would cover (heart, CT scan of the lungs, blood, etc)<br />
<br />
i was in immense pain, having the most rare and peculiar flare ups/allergic reactions/ in my body, all around body aches which felt like arthritis in my bones and hands and elbows, hair loss, etc…<br />
<br />
it could be possible that the vaccine would cause these similar symptoms….<br />
<br />
I mostly took Tylenol daily (and I never take meds!) to help ease the pain for about 3 months. I meditated in the sun a lot and tried to keep active to keep my mind off of the pain and discomfort.<br />
<br />
I hope it wears off for him after a while. I would suggest he join some long-hauler Facebook groups so he doesn’t feel so alone.</div>
