Utah preschool teacher Brianne Dressen experienced severe symptoms shortly after receiving a COVID vaccination in November 2020, which led her to face multiple health challenges. Despite her symptoms being rare, they drew significant medical attention, notably from NIH neuroscientist Avindra Nath. After recommending treatments that helped Dressen, Nath was unable to continue support, leaving her to seek local medical assistance that was nonexistent. An FDA investigation found small-fiber neuropathy symptoms were less prevalent in vaccinated individuals than in unvaccinated ones. The case illustrates the complexities and shortcomings of the U.S. system for addressing rare vaccine side effects.
Once a rock climber, she became a couch potato.
Dressen’s symptoms were rare... but they were common enough to draw the attention of a National Institutes of Health neuroscientist.
While it's possible that Nath's patients suffered covid vaccine injuries... their symptoms were so varied it was hard to characterize a possible syndrome.
Dressen said, there wasn't any local help.
