fairy talesAs we near the end of the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselessness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

TRANSCRIPT

FRANCES FORGIONE: Hi. My name is Frances Forgione and my husband and I have been going back and forth
between Colorado and Massachusetts until last summer when, where we became full-time resident in Dennis, down on the Cape.

By profession, I'm a counselor, a licensed clinical social worker and a licensed addictions counselor. And I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and loss, and couples therapy.

Prior to the vaccines, I was a healthy 60 year old working out at Orangetheory* and doing all kinds of athletics and activities. In the spring of 2021 I got my Moderna vaccines in Plymouth, Massachusetts. I thought I was doing the right thing by myself and other people. My story is not the most severe that you might hear. I might look OK. I'm walking, I'm talking. That's what doctors would say to me. You must be kind of OK. But invisibly, a very painful journey.

During the weeks that followed the vaccines I started to have neurological problems ranging, with a range of symptoms. Internal vibrations, buzzing, tingling, burning. My back, my spine, my arms, my legs, my feet, patches throughout my body. I felt like I was living inside an electrical storm I could see on the horizon.

I had a bizarre array of pain and symptoms throughout my body. On a good day my clothes on my body
would feel like sandpaper that burned against my body as it would move and rub throughout the day.
On a bad day, it felt like acid under my skin, like shards of glass stuck in my back and every time I would move with clothes on, it would hurt. I couldn't sleep on a bed because the sheets were painful against my body.

I can't wear 90% of clothing that's out there. I found I can tolerate nylon and fleece. Fortunately I can find a little bit, with my medication that I can wear, because without medication I couldn't tolerate anything. And that would make this a very interesting presentation. [laughs]

It took me on a journey for the next two years of over 17 doctors between Colorado and Massachusetts,
some of the best neurologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists and more in both states. Many had no idea what would cause this. A few were suspicious about the timing of the vaccines. I underwent a lot of testing, a lot of bloodwork to rule out causes. Most of the bloodwork, MRIs, testing, came back normal.

Finally led me to an autoimmune specialist in Denver, Colorado. She was very thorough. I had a 5 hour appointment. She drew over 30 vials of blood to do a deeper dive as to what's going on. At the end of all this, her conclusions were three diagnoses: small fiber neuropathy with sensory issues; mast cell activation syndrome; and Sjogren's.**

She drew a direct link to the vaccines that had thrown off my immune system, and strongly recommended no more boosters. Trial and error of medications and supplements and diet to help address the problems.

As a professional counselor I can personally and professionally attest to the emotional trauma that some of the medical issues have brought on with the lack of places to talk openly about this topic without it becoming politicized, shut down, dismissed, ignored. Along with many others I too have felt the the confusion, the anxiety, the fear, and the aloneness. We are weary of being caught in the political crossfires and just need help.

We are looking for legitimate discussions and answers, scientific research and treatments to address the vaccine injuries, regardless of where you fall politically. The bottom line is, we just need help.

To this day, two years later, there's not a single day, not even a single moment, that I don't have some kind of symptoms I'm feeling, even though I look just fine. I am grateful to the doctors that have helped so far. I am grateful to my family and friends who have witnessed and walked alongside this journey. And I'm grateful to God who has allowed me to have the courage and the hope to continue this process. I want to say thank you to all of you who organized this and thank you to all of you who shared your stories. It's really been helpful to me, too. Thank you.

** "The symptoms of small fiber sensory neuropathy are primarily sensory in nature and include unusual sensations such as pins-and-needles, pricks, tingling and numbness. Some patients may experience burning pain or coldness and electric shock-like brief painful sensations"

"Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) causes a person to have repeated severe allergy symptoms affecting several body systems. In MCAS, mast cells mistakenly release too many chemical agents, resulting in symptoms in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, heart, respiratory, and neurologic systems. Mast cells are present throughout most of our bodies and secrete different chemicals during allergic reactions. Symptoms include episodes of abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, flushing, itching, wheezing, coughing, lightheadedness and rapid pulse and low blood pressure."
