Clinical narrative: On 8/26 at 1145am, while at home working on my computer, my right leg had a weird numbness and tingling for about 5 seconds and then went away. A few mins later, the area around my ribs but under my armpits started to itch on both sides. I rubbed it and didn?t think much of it but thought it was odd. I went to take a sip of coffee and noticed my mouth felt weird. I touched my chin and side of mouth area and it was all puffy and my chin was hard as a rock and I could hardly feel myself touching it.  At this point, I went to the bathroom to look in the mirror and noticed my whole face was starting to swell and looked at my body, where a rash was developing. I hopped right into the shower not knowing what else to do, and when I came out, everything was getting slightly worse. The first picture I took was at 12:06pm immediately after the shower. The last pic was at 121pm. I also took some pics post steroid injection.  Urgent Care Visit Arrived at Urgent Care at 125pm and they took me back right away due to my poor enunciation because of my tongue swelling. I did not have problems breathing that I could tell, just a numb mouth and swollen tongue, and it was harder to swallow food than normal, but I could still swallow. I couldn?t feel my face, and my sense of touch was minimal around my whole body. I was scratching hard but could hardly feel it. The urgent care doctor mentioned that she had seen this once before but not as severe, also a few days after a female patient had gotten the Moderna vaccine (I received it on 8/21 at 6pm). During our discussion, she was very confident my allergic reactions were from the vaccine. She strongly advised against getting the second shot due to my sudden severe reactions that impacted my tongue and swallowing, and commented that I could possibly go into a more severe shock after the second shot. We reviewed any other environmental changes, no food changes, detergent changes, etc. The only thing I did different than normal was get the first Moderna vaccine so I wouldn?t lose my job. I had made sure to get the first vaccine in time to get the second vaccine to meet the ?day?s pay monetary bonus? which I will now lose out on.  I had a few heat bursts in my feet about 1 hour after receiving the vaccine, and some minor itching between the breasts, but no other major side effects the first day. Urgent Care Treatment Shot received in left butt cheek was: (10.00) Dexamethasone Na Phosphate 1 Mg Dose 10 mg Intramuscular and Methylprednisone Acetate 40 Mg Dose 40 mg Intramuscular Began getting hot flashes and dizziness after injection, but subsided after approximately 15 mins. Urgent Care kept me in room with doors open until my symptoms were well enough for me to drive. Prescriptions Prescriptions received: dexamethasone 4 mg tablet, 2xday for 5 days, Claritin 10 mg tablet, 1xday for 14 days, Pepcid AC 20 mg tablet, 2xday for 7 days  To this day, I still continue to have tight lungs and out of breath easy (not normal), I overheat easy and my face turns blotchy red if I'm outside doing yard work (not normal), my left ear is clogged and feels like cotton ball with vaseline is stuck inside (not normal), and continue to lose a ton of hair. Dizzy spells have gone away, and ringing in ear happens occasionally, but not as often as it previously did.
