Clinical narrative: Pfizer dose #1 EJ1686 1/1/2021 12:30 pm  Onset of symptoms 2 pm 1/1/2021, around 1.5 hrs post vaccine: severe headache, stiff neck ache, dizziness, nausea, chills, extreme fatigue, feverish but below 100.4, severe muscle aches, loss of taste and smell. Loose bowels at times, slept all the rest of the day and night, drank lots of fluids and electrolytes (low sugar). Felt more weak and dizzy the next day, and when walking felt veering right more, more issues with extended activity. e next dose on 1/22 onwards, and has never gone away fully.   R arm pain and raised, tender area at vaccine site contiued to hurt for weeks, even into the next dose on 1/22 onwards, and has never gone away fully.   1/3.2021 woke up 5:30 am sudden onset shortness of breath, deep lung pain in the center of the chest.  I felt like my R lung blocked, and started to cough up large amounts of clear mucus, and vomiting mucus due to airway feeling blocked. I did a 4 albuterol puffs to try to open my airway, but I was not wheezing, and did not have any respiratory symptoms or illness at the time before this started. I had been having continued less lung capacity for many months prior due to having been very sick in March 2020 onwards, including loss of sense of smell and taste, shortness of breath, deep lung pain, fever, No wheezing, not sick.    Pfizer dose #2 EL9261 1/22/2021 3:50 pm after work. Onset of symptoms by 5:30 pm with headache, dizziness, nausea, extreme fatigue, increased R arm pain at the vaccine site, but it was still hurting at the site from the 1/1/21 shot too, before this dose. Drank fluids and went to bed.  Loss of smell and taste returned 1/23/21.  Had continued bad headache from 1/22 onwards, with nausea and feeling more dizzy at times, and on 1/26/21 I was at work with increased headache, dizziness and nausea, and went home early from my shift (I am an RN) due to symptoms. Went to bed early, due to continued nausea and headache and dizziness at times. 1/27 continued bad headache, then in the afternoon around 3 pm, GI felt bloated, bad nausea, and then felt shortness of breath around 4 pm and faster heart rate in the upper 80?s  lasting for minutes, despite laying down in bed, so I too used my oximeter (I Have photos) and the sats were staying at 88% continuously, and had shortness of breath and return of deep internal mid lung pain, and this lasted for over 10 min. I used a canister of Boost oxygen for 5-6 puffs to try to recover, and the sats raised to 90%. No wheezing. Not sick. I had a bad headache and nausea, and was not feeling good and went to bed. On 1/28/21 I woke up at 5:30 with severe vertigo and dizziness, nausea and a bad headache  and could not walk due to the vertigo, and vomited when I was trying to have my head up. I had to crawl to the bathroom on my hands and knees. I called out sick for work due to this and contacted my DR. I was started meclizine 25 mg 3 times a day for vertigo, and was taking Zofran to help. 1/31/21 noted my Re upper eyelid was doing a lot of spastic twitching at times, that would stop and start, but did not think about it much.  The vertigo was unrelenting and then I started to have Right arm and hand weakness noted on 2/3/21 and was still very dizzy, nauseated and had a constant headache since I got dose #2 of the COVID vaccine on 1/22.  I was using a walking stick for the dizziness to be stable, and also felt weaker on the R side, and drifting to the right when walking .On 2/4/21 I had my first MRI (no contrast, unfortunately) and noticed I could not fully shut my Right eye in the MRI, and by 2/5/21 my face was drooping. I still had the constant headache, nausea and dizziness, and increased R hand, arm and R leg weakness and R hip weakness. I could not lift my R leg up to walk well, cannot grip well with the R hand, and uncoordinated, and cannot walk straight, and am unstable when trying to walk heel to toe, or even stand still with my eyes shut, and have had some double vision with the R eye. I was started on Prednisone  and on Klonopin for the vertigo on 2/9 after seeing my neurologist.  I took Prednisone for 5 days, from 2/9-2/13 and did not have improvement with the R facial droop or R side weakness and the headaches have persisted, along with some dizziness and nausea.  on2/14-15 I had increased shortness of breath and R lung felt like it was not inflating much, and got an xray, and went onto Zithromax for 5 days, which did help my lungs to improve, and I was able to breathe better, and got my Right lung capacity back.    I stopped the Klonopin after a week (2/9-2/16), to manage through the symptoms without it, and have been doing physical therapy and. Vestibular therapy. I had another MRI, with contrast on 2/25, after an in-person neurology appointment, and was having some improvement with the vertigo, so I started back to a desk job, not my RN job on 3/4/21, but I was still having the constant headache, nausea, and some dizziness, R face droop, R hand weakness, R leg weakness and walk with a walking stick, and have increased issues with exertion, but have been walking and doing therapies to get stronger.3 I started to have increased R facial droop. EMG done on 3/23 of my R arm.  Worse headache, nausea, dizziness at the desk, and fatigue, but R side weakness issues increased, so I started back onto Prednisone on 3/28/21 with 50mg day for 3 days, then 40mg for 3 days, 30mg for 3 days then 230mg for 2 days, but had increasingly bad headache,nausea and increasing R facial droop, and much worse R hand weakness, R arm weakness and pain, and R hip pain and weakness, worse walking, cannot lift my R leg or foot as high as the L, again, and am struggling to walk, and get worse with exertion with R side walking and weakness. I also had shooting pains in my R jaw start on 4/6-7, along with R jaw and face pain and increased numbness, more face droop shooting pains in my R hip, and arm and body pain and a worse headache making it hard to even sleep, and some increased issues with my R eye that I need to have checked. The prednisone last dose was on 4/7, and stopped due to the symptoms I was having, after a video visit with the neurologist. Increased R leg weakness, R weak hip vs left, R foot drag/drop, with increased issues to maintain walking with progressive walking, still using walking stick to try to walk, but now for stability and to keep from drifting, R facial droop increasing and now some R eye blurring 4/9 onwards, that is new.
