Short Bio

I am 59, was doing ok health wise, occasional migraine, started getting double vision, but rarely, and would last for about 10 minutes. After my 2nd Covid shot, in April,  I got the usual side effects, fatique, headache, raspy voice and it would get worse as the day went on. it lasted 2 weeks, went to primary doc, thought it might be a sinus infection, anitbiotics , then a steroid. No help. went to ENT, he scoped my throat, said there was inflammation in my voice box, and it was not closing. He recommended a Neurologist, luckily I got in to see him quickly, very lucky! There is long wait to see one.  With research on my own and confirmation with the Neurolgist, I was diagnosed with MG. I have been active and regularly went to the gym, worked out, yard work, lots of physical activity, throughout my life- devastated by this diagnosis. Did the Covid Vaccine bring the MG on, the great mystery?!  I probably will not get the booster / 3rd shot. Is there a 4th shot down the road? If I had known the risks, I never would have gotten the vaccine! My life and activity level is forever changed. I have heard of others getting symptoms of various kinds. I think there should be more research before others are harmed by the vaccine.
