That's pretty good.

After the COVID jab I couldn't raise my arm above shoulder level, or put my hand behind my back for about 6 months. My wife had to help me put on and take off my jacket. I assume it attacked the nerve or muscle in that jab area, and took time to regenerate.

Im glad I got function back, because you take two arm mobility for granted and it makes tasks super tricky.

    Yeah, that is not even close to a standard side effect. Sore/stiff arm for a day or two? Normal. Six months? See a doctor long before then because something else is happening.

    Yeah I went to the doctor and he said he'd seen a lot of these odd COVID shot side effects, but as quick as it happens they clear up and so there's no real solution, just have to wait it out.

    But not as bad as my friends wife, she was paralyzed on the side of the shot, she lost muscle control of her one eye, and face muscles on the one side. She also chokes on food because one half doesnt realize food is coming down. Doctor said maybe 7-10 years for nerves to sort themselves out. If they ever do.

    Canada had set up a fund for people to claim against for these severe cases.

    Hopefully we can eventually get something like the inhaled vaccines that some countries have. They seem to be less reactogenic (but also less effective)

    That said operator error on a puffer is probably a lot less serious than a needle.

    Yep, something that could deploy it widespread through out the body instead of localized site. I assume my immune system attacked what was coming in at the shoulder joint and inflamed the joint, a nerve, or muscle.
