Hello folks, my name is Lyssa I am a chronically ill individual who's illness spontaneously began in 2022 with both hands burning while trying to type at my remote job during the COVID pandemic. It was rare for anyone to report having rashes from the vaccines or COVID itself, & then these interviews with Amy Eskridge start circulating & I'm baffled with how much we had in common. This is the first and only situation I have personally come across yet that comes close to the situation that happened to me. In 2022 January, I was 28 years old & typing for a job at a paper company. I slowly stopped being able to comfortably use my hands due to uncontrollable burning of my skin & neuropathy pains that would shoot up and down my arms and hands. A few months go by, we actually arrive on Easter of 2022 & this is when the illness hits my knees - both knees bilaterally at the same time & no doctor has ever been able to tell me what happened to me. One thing that is beyond freaking me out is that when Amy speaks about her experience, she claims the rashes, okay check, how she barely made it out alive, check, & how she was actually able to figure out that stress/trauma would make the illness symptoms worse (took me until 2024 to figure that one out), check... Then I was stunned.. she shares that she found out by doing a 23 & Me that she is 18% Ashkenazi Jewish, & was completely unaware of any Jewish ancestry. I discovered something similar - when I did my 24 & Me, I found out that I have a gene mutation called Familial Mediterranean Fever - a single gene mutation from the MEFV Gene. I never knew I was born with a gene mutation, but it turns out this gene mutation is due to the fact that I apparently have 10% Sephardic Jewish ancestry in my family line. It appears that history from Portugal - sent to the Azores & due to religious wars - families inbreeding ect, you get your gene mutations. I had never known how common gene mutations are in Jewish ancestry until I found out this fact about myself as well. I guess why I am sharing this is for multiple reasons. I am personally an Experiencer & UFOlogist in the New England area & I have been following the missing/deceased scientists cases closely & for the first time in my life, I finally found someone reporting the same or similar things to what I had experienced. During the worst pains & struggles of my illness - I had lost my ability to walk for almost 3 years total until I found a case study that was able to get my life back. I took this case study to the head of a spinal institute & had two procedures done (one which left me a near death experience) & has brought me closer to the vile between world. I had a bilateral Stellate Ganglion Block & without that, I wouldn't be here today. I am shocked every day I wake up that I am still here. To put it lightly, I was in so much pain, I was ready for amputation of my legs, death, ect.. with that in mind, I'm wondering if anyone close to Amy knew if her health conditions had gotten so bad that this could have lead them to taking their own life - or... Is it that whatever device she believes attacked her system.. did it attack mine as well? And if so, why? My thought process is more so on the lines of thinking COVID was the kill switch for Epstein.. this was an engineered illness & structured to hurt specific demographics of people (Jewish people?) I'm a bit fearful sharing all of this, but truly hoping to find some common ground with other folks. For my skin burning, doctors tagged me with a symptom called Erythromelalgia which is a fun term for burning skin syndrome. I had orthostatic intolerance, Dysautonomia, ect. Over the last year or so, I've personally gotten very close with some important folks in the UAP/UFO disclosure community. Meeting people with first hand experiences & top security clearances, but this has all happened to me after my health got much better & back on track. submitted by /u/Wilderlyssa [link] [comments]
