Clinical narrative: syncope- several seconds after  immunization was administered. pt came too and i asked if he has passed out before and he stated every time he gets a shot and then passed out again, at which point his body made several "twitches".

Symptoms: Blood test normal, Computerised tomogram normal, Discomfort, Ear discomfort, Feeling abnormal
Clinical narrative: My left side was feeling heavy and my head and neck were feeling swollen and sore. It felt like a head ache but only on my left side which is the side where I received the vaccine. I ignored it and by the end of the day I took a Tylenol but it did not do anything. I felt like something was compressing me inside my head and ear. On Monday I went back to work and I still had that. It was very uncomfortable. On Tuesday I was already nervous and I went to the clinic where I usually go and they told me not to worry that is was just my body reacting to the vaccine and creating antibodies. They said that they did feel the swelling and they said it was a swollen lymph node. It was very uncomfortable. They told me I could take Tylenol or Ibuprofen every 8 hours but they were not sure if the pain would go away since this is a new vaccine. I followed their instructions and on 02/07/2021 I still had that pain and it got worse. I was feeling very bad. That day I decided to take both Tylenol and Ibuprofen and that hurt my stomach. On 2/10/2021 I had to go to the ER and the doctor asked why did I take so many analgesics, and I said that I could not take the pain anymore. The dr said they did not know if this was something normal since the vaccine is new. They did blood tests and a CT scan and on Friday I am having an endoscopy. All the tests were normal. Sometimes I have nausea and even throw up. Its been 4 months and I am still feeling the same way. After getting the second dose the head pain was gone for a while, sometimes it comes back but not as bad as in the beginning. They think I might have an ulcer in my stomach.

Symptoms: Fatigue, Feeling abnormal, Full blood count normal, Head discomfort, Injection site pain
Clinical narrative: That next day, the injection site pain was with me for over a month. I couldn't move my arm; felt like someone was jabbing me. I can finally touch my arm now without feeling pain. The brain fog - it feels like - in the front of my forehead right above my eyebrows -  like there's something the size of orange that is just sitting there. It stops my thoughts and word processing. I was fine the day before the vaccine. That has not gone away. The doctor does not know what to do about the brain fog. I was having horrific full body muscle pain - especially in my legs. Like someone had put 20 lbs weight on each of my ankles. That is sort of resolved. But the fatigue - hasn't resolved. I always have a little bit of low level fatigue but this is worse - I have to have two naps a day now. Brain fog is the most troubling to me - hard to function - it's like instant Alzheimer's - my words are stuck in my mouth and I feel like I'm trying to think through a veil or fog.

Clinical narrative: 2 days post vaccination onset of acute arthritic symptoms symmetrically along body beginning in the hips, and escalating to back, neck, shoulders, wrists, hands, and knees, in that order. Right side is now becoming more severe for pain and stiffness, but still roughly symmetrical. Symptoms are more severe upon waking and some mobility is restored by regular movement within an hour, but it is becoming harder and more painful each day. Was taking ex str. Tylenol at 500mg 8 x3 times a day for pain management, have since switched to aspirin 500mg 4-5 x2 times per day but that too is becoming less effective. Severe mobility impact, cannot get groceries, walk dog, open bags, jars, cans, and am starting to develop anxiety around the worsening symptoms. No health coverage. No primary care physician. Sporadicly I have days that the symptoms are almost completely non-existent, but these ?relief days? are never consecutive and the next day will always have the symptoms worsen again.  I have always generally been in pretty good health, and I?ve never taken anything regularly, but this has me terrified.

Clinical narrative: Starting about 2-3 weeks after my 2nd dose of the Moderna COVID19 vaccine, I started experiencing daily joint/nerve pain and swelling.  It affects different parts of my body each day, but the usual targets are my fingers, wrists, knees, and ankles.  Sometimes, it is a pure nerve pain.  Other times, it is paired with swelling, especially in the knees and fingers.  I've experienced pain like this in the past, but very infrequently (once every few months at the most).  But the pain has been on a daily basis ever since late-March/early-April and still persists today.

Clinical narrative: I notified by Dr. that after receiving the Shingles vaccine, I had a severe reaction of weakness in my legs that lasted about 2 months and was afraid to get the 2nd dose.  He said the reaction was rare and the CDC recommended to get the 2nd dose. I got the 2nd dose on 2/22/21 and by the next day, the reaction of weakness was SEVERE and has continued to get worse. I have a very difficult time walking and have a bad gait with foot drop. I fall a lot and it is impossible to stand up or climb stairs without assistance. I have to use a wheelchair often. Now after 3 months, I've sought help from a Neurologist and now under his care and testing. (Dr.).  Both doctors said they are not aware of any connection to the Shingles vaccine. However, I was a very healthy person and immediately after both doses of the vaccine, the severe leg weakness occurred. I never would have gotten the 2nd dose if I was informed that the side effect could be even worse and long-term.  My life has changed dramatically.  As of this date, I have undergone four MRI's and have given 12 vials of blood for about 20 blood tests.  Dr. is trying to figure out the exact diagnosis and treatment.  The Nerve Conduction test showed that a major nerve in both legs in non-functioning.  The CK blood test is flagged with an extremely high number.   I now understand that Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a possibility.  I don't believe either of my doctors are aware of this effect as they didn't think there was any connection to the vaccine.   I am writing this VAERS form to inform more doctors and the vaccine maker of this possible long-term side effect if nerve damage and leg weakness.

As of this date, I have undergone four MRI's and have given 12 vials of blood for about 20 blood tests.  Dr. is trying to figure out the exact diagnosis and treatment.  The Nerve Conduction test showed that a major nerve in both legs in non-functioning.  The CK blood test is flagged with an extremely high number.   I now understand that Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a possibility.  I don't believe either of my doctors are aware of this effect as they didn't think there was any connection to the vaccine.   I am writing this VAERS form to inform more doctors and the vaccine maker of this possible long-term side effect if nerve damage and leg weakness.

Clinical narrative: I notified by Dr. that after receiving the Shingles vaccine, I had a severe reaction of weakness in my legs that lasted about 2 months and was afraid to get the 2nd dose.  He said the reaction was rare and the CDC recommended to get the 2nd dose. I got the 2nd dose on 2/22/21 and by the next day, the reaction of weakness was SEVERE and has continued to get worse. I have a very difficult time walking and have a bad gait with foot drop. I fall a lot and it is impossible to stand up or climb stairs without assistance. I have to use a wheelchair often. Now after 3 months, I've sought help from a Neurologist and now under his care and testing. (Dr.).  Both doctors said they are not aware of any connection to the Shingles vaccine. However, I was a very healthy person and immediately after both doses of the vaccine, the severe leg weakness occurred. I never would have gotten the 2nd dose if I was informed that the side effect could be even worse and long-term.  My life has changed dramatically.  As of this date, I have undergone four MRI's and have given 12 vials of blood for about 20 blood tests.  Dr. is trying to figure out the exact diagnosis and treatment.
