    Hello, I was a healthy 58 yr old , a prostate cancer survivor, since 2015, an avid gym rat, yard working, house remodeling kinda guy. It all changed after my 2nd covid shot, Pfizer. I got the regular side effects, tiredness, headache etc., but my face drooped, my voice went hoarse around 4 pm and I was beat. Primary care doc was stumped. Referred to an ENT, he was stumped, and sent me to a Neurologist. After testing and research on my own,  I was diagnosed with MG. I was crushed, I have not been the same since. If I had known the risks involved with the Pfizer vaccine, I would have never taken the shots. I firmly believe the shot gave me MG, I will not be taking the 3rd shot, or the 4th etc. etc. I am on Pyridostigmine 180 mg a day, it helps, but I’m still tired. I have a daily headache and nauseated, if I try to act like I used to, I pay for days after, like a hangover I didn’t enjoy getting. I’m still early into this, since April, and the sadness consumes me. I realize I have to live life differently or find a better solution or drug therapy. My Neurologist is overwhelmed, with other patients, he does not specialize in MG. There is another Neurologist in my city who has more experience with MG, I booked an appointment in April of this year, to see him in April of 2022. Ridiculous. For now, I will continue to research, look for a more natural approach to treating this disease. The vaccine is not for everybody!!!
