Dear Pain Matters readers,

Sadly, countless people suffer from severe adverse reactions including chronic pain following their experimental Covid mRNA injections including famous musician, Eric Clapton.

Quoting Eric Clapton in an interview with Robin Monotti, Italian architect and film producer, regarding his adverse reaction to the AstraZeneca injection:

“I can’t sleep because of the pain … the vaccine took my immune system and just shook it around …

… and I went and had the jab and I got a little green [card] (like a library card), and I thought that’s what I’m going to show the people when I get on the plane. … Within several hours, I was shaking like a leaf and I went to bed early and I couldn’t get warm … I thought … am I running a fever? I was boiling hot and sweating, and then I was cold. … I was out for the count for about a week.

I had been preparing for a project where I was going to be playing acoustic guitar with a couple of musicians and we were going to film it that week. Knocked me out and I had to start again from scratch. … It didn’t come off as well as I would like to … It was a huge setback and it frightened the **** out of me because I didn’t know how long it would last. I then started to find out more …

… bit by bit, I realised that I probably shouldn’t have had the first jab but then I was offered the second [jab]. I thought, well, … what’s the point in … stopping now? So I went and had the second [jab], … And then it got really bad and within about a week, I had lost my hands – [they] didn’t really work. … I suffered from a condition … called peripheral neuropathy, which is nerve damage pain, … which means that … I can get numb, or pins and needles. …

This [pain] … ramped up from, say, 3 to … 8 or 9 (on a scale of 10). Agony and chronic pain … I have gigs to do, I have recording work to do, but I can’t … play the guitar, it’s not fun and it’s something I do … then when I put [the guitar] down, [the pain] is there until I go to bed. I take sleeping pills because I can’t sleep because of the pain, and that’s … not a good way to live … the vaccine took my immune system and just shook it around again, and that’s still going on

… and I called my … NHS doctor after the second jab and I said, “I’ve been told there’s a yellow card system … where I can complain about after-effects?“ He said … , “I’ll fill in the report …” …

I lost the use of my hands for about 3 weeks, so I thought I was in real trouble. That’s about that point I was invited by Robin Monotti to talk about it … because I realised that … I wasn’t the only one that was suffering adverse reactions … I  can’t touch anything cold or hot, I have to use these [gloves], otherwise my hands will begin to burn and they’ll stay burnt all day.

… that’s my experience from having had the second jab … I went to my doctor … and said, you know, I can’t have any more vaccinations. This is not possible for me because I don’t know what will happen. I don’t know what will happen next. …”

Quoting Eric Clapton in another interview with Robin Monotti:

“In February [2021] this year, before I learned about the nature of the [Covid] vaccines and being 76 with emphysema, I was in the avant garde. I took the first jab of [AstraZeneca] and straight away, [I] had severe reactions which lasted 10 days, I recovered eventually and was told it would be 12 weeks before the second one…

About 6 weeks later, I was offered and took the second [AstraZeneca] shot, but with a little more knowledge of the dangers. Needless to say, the reactions were disastrous. My hands and feet were either frozen, numb or burning, and pretty much useless for 2 weeks. I feared I would never play again. I suffer with peripheral neuropathy and [I] should never have gone near the needle. But the propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone. …”

Thank you very much, Robin Monotti, for sharing Eric Clapton‘s experiences that will hopefully help others struggling with side effects including chronic pain, post-Covid injection.

In closing today, I leave you with 2 songs by Eric Clapton, one written in 2021 and the second one written in 1992. Like so many of his songs, the lyrics to these songs are laden with meaning hence worthwhile analysing in greater detail:

This Has Gotta Stop

I knew that somethin’ was goin’ on wrong
When you started layin’ down the law
I can’t move my hands, I break out in sweat
I wanna cry, can’t take it anymore

I’ve been around long, long time
Seen it all, and I’m used to being FREE
I know who I am, try to do what’s right
So lock me up and throw away the key

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can’t take this BS any longer
It’s gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You’ll have to come and break down this door

Tears In Heaven

Conversations Between Colin Froy, A British Foot Nerve Pain Patient (1952-2013), His Pain Team And The Pain Researchers

Dear Pain Matters readers,

So what is it really like to have nerve pain??  The best way to find out is to actually talk to a patient who suffers from nerve pain.  And that is exactly what the excellent video called ‘The Pain Detective‘ (by Barry Gibb, film maker) did.

Colin Froy, one of the millions of nerve pain sufferers in the world and a policeman who retired in 2011, was diagnosed with myeloma type cancer in the blood (light chain deposition) in 2004.  He received chemotherapy for 6 months including thalidomide drug treatment.  Unfortunately, the latter led to ‘tingling toes syndrome’.

The term ‘tingling toes’ does not do justice to the severity of Colin’s nerve pain.  This term drastically understated the intensity of Colin’s thalidomide-induced nerve pain in his toes from 2004 until his passing in 2013.  In Colin’s words:

‘… the side-effects of thalidomide, they call it tingly toes. Because tingly toes, you think, you know, you get sort of tingle and it goes away, but it’s not like that [laughs], it’s painful toes. I mean, the nerve endings are all shot to pieces, like a dead tree. It gets worse and worse, and you just can’t walk as far as you used to. Now, if I’m lying in bed sometimes, I get this sensation as if someone’s just pushing a needle through the toes, and it lasts for four or five seconds and then it’s gone…’

(Above quoted from ‘The Pain Detective Transcript’:

The video added that the economic cost of pain in the USA alone is around USD635 billion per year, more than the costs of cancer and cardiovascular disease combined.  In fact, pain is the Number One Reason why people see their GP.

Without further ado, I urge readers to simply watch the 30-minute video (and also read the narrative) that presents many interesting, lively and heart-warming conversations between Colin Froy (1952 – 2013), his caring pain management team and a talented pool of pain researchers who are passionate about their goal to ease nerve pain and suffering (see video link and references, below).

Despite his unrelenting severe nerve pain, Colin had a positive outlook on life, where ‘his glass was always half full’ instead of ‘half empty’.  Although his nerve pain was enduring until his final days in 2013, his sense of humour and warm smile will always be endearing.

May his message, and that of others with chronic pain, reach our collective heart and soul so that all this pain and suffering is not in vain.
