EXCLUSIVE: I Planned My Own Suicide After Covid Vaccine Left Me In Constant Agony
Brianne Dressen enrolled in a clinical trial for
AstraZeneca's Covid vaccine in 2020 in a bid to help the pharma giant develop a vaccine that would end the pandemic.
She was among the first group of Americans to receive the then-experimental Covid shot and said she felt like she was 'doing my bit' and thought it would be safe.
But Ms Dressen would never return to get her second dose, suffering from such a severe reaction within an hour of her first injection that she says she is now nearly completely disabled and was left spending months contemplating suicide just to 'escape' the pain.
And while the physical pain is excruciating — with her body vibrating daily as though she is being electrocuted, she said — she has now been outcast by many friends and family as an anti-vaxxer. Due to the pain, she is also
struggling to care for her two children, 10 and 12.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, the 43-year-old said: 'The pain is something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. This is the first thing I feel when I wake up in the morning and the last thing I feel when I go to sleep at night.
'There is no peace, no rest, no reprieve, the only time I get a break is when I take a whole lot of meds that allow me to sleep for a few hours — but I know that when I do this I am borrowing time from my future.'
In 2021, scientists at the National Institutes of Health diagnosed Ms Dressen with post-vaccine neuropathy — an extremely rare condition that occurs when a patient experiences tingling, numbness and weakness in their body following vaccination.
