PA COVID vaccine and atherosclerosis

hi sweet people. I had pa diagnosis 3 month ago and severe atherosclerosis in legs and abdominal vessels. Probably also cardiac vessels All of that started a year ago with 4th COVID vaccine. Had stent surgery in femoral arteries and mesenteric artery. But my abdominal pains don’t improve. Can all of that be related?

I’m SI now weekly. Still neuropathic issues. Take all supplements. Am quite desperate.

thanks for advices. ☺️

Hello Sissiotto, what a truly awful time you are having. I can only give non medical advice.

P.A. with neurological symptoms NICE in UK, amongst others, advise EOD injections until there is further improvement. P.A. injections are for life. However, many of us inject more frequently, if symptoms dictate. So, if you can, suggest you increase your s.i. to EOD and see how that goes.

Surgery, with nitrous oxide depletes B12, as does stress physical and mental, in fact B12D can cause anxiety and feelings of depression.

Covid vaccinations are known in UK to cause heart problems, ive a friend who is still recovering and has gastrointestinal pain. P.A. often reduces stomach acid, lessens the ability to digest, causing painful symptoms I do not know if this affects you.

I know this can all be grim at times, but persevere and you will improve. You are not alone, this is a very supportive forum . Sending hugs and healing best wishes, x

Thank you Wheat for your kind reply.

Just wondering if PA can induce atherosclerotic issues. You are right saying stress. I’m awfully stressed. Lost my dear Sissi ( 3y old cat) during hospital stay 10 days ago. So heartbreaking 💔.

I will try to si every other day.

Oh, I m so sorry, losing Sissi is as you say truly heartbreaking. I know this from experience; especially hard when you are having to cope with illness.

Severe B12D/P.A. can cause peripheral neurology and subacute combined spinal cord damage , but I do no know re. arteries.

I keep a note of my injections on calendar., and rough note of symptoms to monitor healing/improvement. This may help you.

. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved cat. Sounds like you are having a really rough time of it. There is a gov compensation scheme for those injured by the vaccine.

Thanks for your kind words. Yes. Rough is the right word. Nothing in Switzerland for weird Covid vaccine issues.

So sorry to hear you have been suffering from so many issues. Atherosclerosis is not the type of thing that pops up and causes problems. It takes many years for it to grow from small, insignificant deposits to large clinically problematic issues. It is very unlikely that it is related to the C vaccine or PA. There are anecdotal reports of heart issues, but sudden development of atherosclerosis is not one, especially in peripheral vessels. When you have PA it is often easy to want to tie it to any other health issues, and in many cases that may be true, but it is also just as true that others health issues arise with no connection to PA, or for that matter the big C jab. To keep my symptoms at bay, I inject 2x/day. At this time, If I drop back to 1x, my neuro symptoms amongst others return within 7 - 10 days. I prefer to focus on how many I need to keep my symptoms at bay rather than when I can cut back to fewer injections. There is no such thing as too many and many serious reasons to not have too few. Good luck to you and very sorry for the loss of kitty.

hi Scnuke! Than it’s probably more related to severe polyarthritis and I have a family history in arteriosclerosis. 🙏🏼thanks for replying.
