Sure! I got the Astrazenica jab in my mid 20's. Even though I had previously been infected with covid; this is because I was a care worker at the time so I wanted to keep the community safe.
I started getting issues over the next week with my eyes and legs, I was having a weird pain in my eye when I moved it to the side and my legs where also painful. My GP recommended to get some blood tests done.
Before I was able to complete the blood tests I woke up one morning and was unable to pee. I spoke to my GP and they told me to go to the hospital, I was admitted and cathaterised. Over the next week and a half my condition got worse and doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.
I was losing my ability to move the lower half of my body and eventually lost all feeling in it during this time, my eyesight also started going blurry.
Finally they moved me to a neurology hospital in the centre of London and figured out my condition, it was called nuromeyeltis optica. This condition is where my immune system attacked my nerves in my spinal cord and also my optic nerve.
They put me on a huge dose of steroids to stop my immune system, and used a plasma transfusion to try and flush my system of the anti bodies.
It took me months to learn to walk again, as I spent a total of 2 months in hospital and then rehabilitation.
I'm mostly normal now, you wouldn't know I was different if you saw me, other than I still have to use Cathaters to pee, suppositories to poop and my nerves still cause me great pain. So I'm really very uncomfortable tbh.
Fortunetly my eyes fixed themselves very fast, but I have a very small blind spot that honestly I don't notice.
The government paid me out via the Vaccine Damage Scheme after 2 years worth £120,000, in which they sent me a 50 page report. Stating that it was due to the vaccine and what % of disability they thought I had. It was actually between 50-80% as they weighted in mental strain very highly and my age was considered young (although a dinusour on the Internet I'm sure lmao)
Anyway that's what happened to me. It still so weird to think it's such a rare case, I'm one out of I believe 100-200 people that had a successful vaccine damage payment scheme in the UK.
