Clinical narrative: On July31st I had stroke. I had an MRI done , multiple exams , etc I was admitted into Hospital from July31st until August 5th and then was transferred to Rehab and was there from August 5th until August 22, 2022.  All cardiac testing to date have been negative . The cause of the stroke has been deemed unknown but these are the following topics discussed : possible combination of diabetes , history of high blood pressure ( my Endocrine doctor has stated to me while my blood sugars were off they were not off enough to cause a stroke in her medical opinion ) and the Covid 19 booster which was received on 6/13/22.. I should state even though these factors exist on both sides of my family worse than what I have , there is no family history to my knowledge of stroke. My neurologist says the booster cannot be taken off the table and my allergist concurs . Both neurologist and Dr ( my allergist ) are aware that this letter is being sent in . I specifically asked allergist if I should report this to you and his response was if I physically felt up to it,  Here are some facts for you to review  Pfizer Covid shot #1 8/27/21 . Throat got scratchy, vomitted once , left eye ( side if vaccine ) started twitching.  Pzifer Covid shot #2 9/15/21 . Throat got scratchy again this time instead of only a few hours it lasted several days , left sided eye twitching which had not fully resolved intensified , I got 2 very itchy hives around the vaccine site and the next day I got a small rash which more than doubled in size by 9/19/21 and lasted a couple of weeks. Also, near the vaccine sight I developed a red lump which did not go away . On March 3/2/22 , the lump was still there so Dr , my dermatologist at that time removed it and biopsied it and it was deemed a benign mole .   On June 13, 2022 I received the booster at my allergist office due to worsening responses to the vaccine ( the first to shots were done at Pharmacy ) . It should be noted that I made it very clear that I was only receiving the Covid 19 vaccines and booster because I was forced to as a requirement to maintain my employment with my employer and medical exemptions were next to impossible to obtain . My daughter was physically present with me when I received the booster . At the doctors office , while being monitored my voice got hoarse and very scratchy , I was very itchy all over and was given PO benadryl . My blood pressure also spiked . I was sent home with the advisement to take benadryl . Once I stopped the benadryl ,  broke out in hives on my foot . I missed nearly a week of work , The booster was given on a Monday and I happened to have an appt with my endocrine on Thursday . At this point , you could not touch the left side of my upper body . It was swollen and tender to the touch. My endocrine , Dr said she could see and feel  the swelling in that area but there was no swollen lymph nodes . She saw the hives on my foot and my blood pressure was still off. It was my understanding that not only did I have an allergic reaction but I also had an  inflammatory response..I was advised to rest , drink water etc.
