The reporter is the patient.  A 34-year-old male patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), on 08Apr2022 as dose 1, single (Lot number: ER8734) at the age of 33 years for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "mononucleosis" (unspecified if ongoing); "chronic fatigue syndrome" (unspecified if ongoing). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Covid 19 Second vaccine:  His symptoms never resolved between shots so he never noticed a progression, Lot number: ER8735, NDC and Expiry not listed on card, Date received: 25Apr2022.  The following information was reported: AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER (medically significant), outcome "unknown"; NEUROPATHY PERIPHERAL (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "I have a lot of pain in my (inaudible) which I can most closely describe as neuropathy"; PAIN (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "severe pain predominately in the right side of my body, like a tingly kind of shooting pain, mostly in my upper limbs, hands, forearms, it shoots up into shoulder, I get it in my legs, calves"; SOMATIC SYMPTOM DISORDER (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "I have got half the doctors tell me it is psychological and I just need to see the shrink"; ILLNESS (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "sick,he is just very sick"; CONDITION AGGRAVATED (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "The flare-ups get more intense, and less intense going on now for 13-14 months and haven't gotten any better"; HYPERTENSION (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "my blood pressure in my arms and it was really high"; ASTHENIA (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "It makes me feel week"; SENSORY LOSS (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "I have sensitivity loss in my extremities". The events "my blood pressure in my arms and it was really high" required emergency room visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Blood pressure measurement: really high, notes: my blood pressure in my arms and it was really high; super high in my right arm, notes: blood pressure was the same thing, super high in my right arm; Blood test: Unknown results, notes: stuff that suggests that i may have autoimmune disease but he has been unable to get a diagnosis of any kind, he is just very sick; lot of borderline semi-positive tests: Unknown results.  Clinical course: The patient had been experiencing severe pain predominately in the right side of his body since he received Pfizer Covid vaccine on 08Apr2022.The patient had tried to report this and received help via the medical system but had been largely ignored. Without taking anything for pain he was bedridden and disabled since date of vaccination.  He had an autoimmune response to the Covid 19 vaccine. He does not had blood work or tests that can really say with certainty that he had an autoimmune disease but there was some bloodwork and stuff that suggests that  he may had autoimmune disease but he had been unable to get a diagnosis of any kind, he was just very sick. There are tests that cannot tell, and he had a lot of borderline semi-positive tests for things that can be indicative of possible autoimmune disease, but there has been no clear indication of having one. He has a hunch. The flare-ups get more intense, and less intense going on now for 13-14 months and had not gotten any better. He was unable to get a clear diagnosis from a doctor. He was just not getting anywhere with the medical system. States he needs a scientist that will look at him and want to find the answer and put him on drugs the rest of his life for trial-and-error drugs. He was seeing doctors (readcted). They just say here was a drug for the symptoms. He wanted to know what was wrong with him before he could decide what drug to be on to try to treat him. The doctors want to play trial and error rather than test him. They want to put you on this drug or that drug and see how you react and he was tired of playing that game and it has not been working out very well for him. He wants the scientific approach where they test things and see what is wrong. The medical system was failing him. The doctors are not really doing their jobs in his opinion. He needs a scientist that would test him. He wants an answer as to why he is feeling this way.He had a lot of pain in my (inaudible) which he could most closely describe as neuropathy, like a tingly kind of shooting pain and its It makes me feel week like hecannot do anything. It came on 24 hours after the first shot and it has not resided. If he did not take anything for it,  he cannot get out of bed, so it was pretty severe and he was nowhere with the medical system. They just want to give him drugs for pain. he wanted to know if he was going to be disabled the rest of my life. At the rate he was going he will die beforehe could get the answers. It is mostly in his upper limbs so his hands, his forearms, it shoots up into his shoulder and then he got  it in his legs, his calves and when it is real bad, when he got this flare ups sometimes wass worse than others he got it in his abs but primarily in his arms and when it gets real bad for some reason its predominantly on the right side of my body although he  definitely fell it on both sides just worse on the right side. When he first got the shot within the first week he was having really bad pain in my right side he actually decided to check my blood pressure in my arms and it was really high in my right arm but normal in my left arm so I decided to go to urgent care to make sure there is nothing wrong in the heart and they found the blood pressure was the same thing, super high in my right arm and normal in the left arm so they sent me to the ER and the ER said he was not gonna die and sent me home.  He went home buthe had not been well sincehe was doing CBOL lots of it and it kind of eases the pain enough that he couldnot move around and get up and do thing but if he did not take it, he couldn't do anything. In his  mind he was disabled but a do not have a diagnosis.He just want to get better. he was sick prior to getting the vaccine, he had symptoms similar to chronic fatigue syndrome that had been on after having mononucleosis when  he was 25 he had been struggling then but the vaccine has taken it to a whole new level of pain and disability that he was functioning before the vaccine and now  he was just not good. He suspect that he had some kind of autoimmune disease and maybe the vaccine has triggered that and amped it up somehow and he cannot seem to put it into remission. He had got half the doctors tell me it is psychological and he just need to see the shrink the other half say we understand you are in pain but we just do not know why the doctors, they get more reactive to his skin condition when there is something that they can see than when he actually there for pain.He knew this happened to one of my friends who turned out to have MS but he did not get diagnosed with MS until he got the vaccine n then decided to see the doctor after having some issues following the vaccine. Obviously, he had MS beforehand and he was also sick before the vaccine but the vaccine has made me sicker. It is not likely the vaccine was the true cause of why he was sick but has made me much sicker than he was but proving that is next to impossible.He had been sick literally since the day he got the vaccinehe had not been able to get out of bed in his mind 100% that thing had made him worse. he have sensitivity loss in my extremities.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected
