  • Febr 28, 2021 received 1st Pfizer vaccine. Next day 3/1/21 admitted through emergency to hospital. Vaccine exacerbated MG. Could not swallow even saliva. While they we’re putting in feeding tube it caused bleeding. Bad went to worse fast.  In ICU for 12 days on ventilator and feeding tube. 17 day in hospital. I ended on oxygen 24 hrs. After 2 more exacerbations in June and September. It was a very rough year.
    UTIs led into the June and Sept 2021 exacerbations.  Now May 2022 had outpatient IVIG (UTI again causing MG). HOWEVER since May 16th 2022 I have been MG symptom free!!!  It is the best I have felt in way over a year.
    just let me say – I have many family and dear friends who have been praying for me faithfully!  I am so very grateful!

    2/28/221 I received the first Pfizer. Next day I was admitted to hospital. It exacerbated my MG. Worse MG symptoms I I was in hospital 17 days, 12 in ICU, on ventilator and feeding tube. First couple days I had 2 IVIG which did nothing and in ICU I had 7 plasma exchange. Needless to say, I will not be getting anymore vaccines. Was also in hospital in June and September for MG exacerbations. It was a rough year. UTIs were the culprit for the other two. One serious which I probably got in hospital. Exploring all avenues of infection.

    just a note – last year I received the 2nd Pneumonia vaccine and short time later I ended up in hospital with pneumonia.

    I am really thankful that so any of you had good experiences – but that’s not my story.
    I am 72 years old and it seems the best place for me is at home now. I had to resign from two major ministry callings as a spiritual director due to not being able to bein a large groups with no covid antibodies.

    Still, I felt the Lord was saying to me – I am not retiring you, but redirecting you.

    We will see what 2022 brings. I have every hope.

    Blessings and prayers for you all.
