13. I had a bad flare-up of my autoimmune disease after my vaccines,not sure I can go through that again

Thu Jul 8, 2021, 07:20 PM

Jul 2021

I'm still dealing with this flare up several months later.

I was hoping that the vaccines provided longer immunity or the virus would be crushed with the vaccines & mask combo.

I will probably go back to personal lockdown status, get groceries delivered, and hope Covid will just disappear in the next few years. Not likely now with all the unvaccinated people running around maskless and spreading their germs.

My husband got shingles on his face and eye a week after his 2nd dose of Pfizer and our doctor said it was from the vaccine so he told me that he's never getting a booster shot unfortunately.
