A member shared a difficult experience following their COVID vaccine, describing intense chills, muscle pain, dizziness, weakness, and fluctuating blood pressure that lasted several days, while encouraging others to make their own informed decisions.

I don't have a spleen so I get every vaccine that my doctor recommends. I have never had any reaction other than site pain. Other than the Parkinson’s disease, I haven't even had a cold in at least 10 years.
