Traci Ciepiela was an active, healthy, triathlete and Criminal Justice college professor who loved to travel. It was because of her desire to travel on a cruise that required her to receive a covid shot. Unfortunately, the adverse reactions from that shot have left Traci with debilitating injuries.
In this episode, Traci shares her vaccine injury journey, the help she has received through the React19 support groups, and why she decided to write a book chronicling her experience in hopes that it will help others on their journey.
Traci’s book is titled, “Through the COVID Looking Glass and Back”
Traci writes:
"Everyone experiences difficult times. Sometimes those difficult times teach you what you are made of. They can also reveal truths hidden deep down in yourself. The introduction of the COVID pandemic in the world changed innumerable lives. This is one of those stories. While it centers on the afflictions of COVID, it also paints a picture of overcoming. The story details a vaccine injury affecting many people everywhere in the world but is a story that hasn't been told. In the end this is a story of survival and perseverance, connection and finding meaning in the post-COVID world."
