Vaccine Injury of Sharlene Sybrandt


What was your life like before you received the COVID-19 vaccine?

Life pre-vaccine was wonderful. I had a career I loved as a Certified Medical Assistant working in internal medicine. I am a mother of 4, a sports enthusiast, a runner, have season tickets to collegiate athletics and loved life.
My husband had just retired and we were planning our first trip to Europe. I had plans to travel with my daughter to New York City and we had dreamed of that since she was a little girl. We were so excited. I have 2 young grandkids and my grandson had just been born. My quality of life went from 10 to 0.

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

I had my booster vaccine 5/9/22. The week after I was getting dizzy spells, it was hard to walk straight and my feet were numb. I was having tremors and insomnia and an outrageous feeling of anxiety. I had horrific neuropathic pain in my legs and I couldn’t find a moment of peace.
I’ve now seen 9 physicians covering 5 specialties. I have mast cell activation, sensory sensitivity and have lost 50 pounds. I spend 80% of my time bedridden.

What would you like others to know?

I want others to know that we as a community need to be vocal and we need to fight. I was blind. I followed without question. As a result, my life as I knew it has ended. We are hushed we are gaslit, and we are ignored.
There has to be answers. We need money for research to find help in our many maladies. We deserve our lives back.
