Clinical narrative: It's 7 days later and I am still not well - face swelling, hot to the touch (similar to when I had staph infection) Nausea is new as of today, migraine has come back (was present up until yesterday afternoon and started to dissipate and now back in full force). I have had 17 concussions in my lifetime so it feels like that a bit, foggy, can't stand for long, fatigue. Here are my symptoms by days. Would have sent this sooner but couldn't function or look at screen- really sick. I am still sick and not sure if this is normal or I should be going to the ER or some type of doctor.  4/22/21 ? 2nd Shot at 10:35 am - @ 1:45 pm arm really started to get soar and hard to lift.  Chills. Drossy.   4/23/21 ? After I awoke from the 1st night, I couldn't move my entire body's left side, I was dragging my left leg with me and couldn't lift my arm from my body or move it. exhausted felt drugged, like hangover, migraine and getting in car accident all in one. Kept dozing off.  Slept a lot. Head felt similar to concussion. Unable to really walk.   4/24/21 ?Slept a lot during day.  Arm and leg mobility better and I could finally feel my left fingers. So much pain so I finally took my 1st Tylenol muscle 8 hr at 9:38 am. Took another at 10:30pm. It helped for about 5 hours and then woke up with sharp pains again. At night, shooting pains in legs especially back of legs and burning I?m in a lot of pain so while I can now feel my left side and move my arm a bit better my legs are still in a constant state of shooting spasm and I can?t lay down, sit up, recline or anything. Nothing brings comfort. It?s like taking an electrical prod to my body. Arm still hurts (NOT at injection site) but can move it better now still feels like sinus infection. It?s like muscles are pizza dough and someone is pulling them, stretching them painfully with electrical current when you aren?t moving. Massive spasm all over back of legs hips from bottom down. Eyes really swollen. Did Sinus Rinse. Under my arm put and beside/behind my breast rib cage sore.   4/26/21 - Pain wakes as usual throughout the night but it?s 4:40am and the Tylenol has worn off. Pizza dough pulling and spasms in the legs. I?ve taken more Tylenol in the last 4 days than I have taken in the last 40 years. I felt like I didn?t have a headache when I got up but my legs were still streaming so I took another Tylenol and I have a headache and don?t feel good. I now am able to move arm but extremely painful like a log, I can lift it only 1.5 inches from my body which is more than I could before so it must be getting better. Head still feels similar to concussion with migraine.  The headache is causing me to clinch teeth and the headache is not at the level it was but still pretty bad. None of this pre -2nd shot.  When I was about 12yrs old I had Rheumatoid arthritis (or that was the drs explanation) and this is what it felt like, I couldn?t move my legs or my arms then.  I did not take any Tylenol tonight.  Shoot pains only wake me up 3 times although they are constantly there just the strength differs Dr?s have always said I have extremely high threshold for pain. I was finally able to brush my hair, afterwards my arms were shaking muscle wise and fatigued. Rash inside my ear and face blotchy.   4/27/21 ?No real change in symptoms except now I am seeing my face swell and eyes are still burning and painful. My face only on the left side more than right looks like a cabbage patch doll- swelling.   Eyes sore and front of head hurts. Stuffy nostril only left one ? so I do another sinus rise today. Still feel drugged. Body is sore. Hard to move neck. Still in pain take Tylenol at 9:20pm.  The pain woke me up multiple times and kept me up. It?s like someone is pulling my muscles like pizza dough. It is so painful. No position is comfortable. Woke up at 10:30, 11:45, 12:15, 2:21, 3:52, 4:05 and that was it couldn?t get back to sleep because of this pain. Don?t have a foam roller here but maybe an olive oil bottle I could use in the same manger or a tennis ball. I have to do something I can?t take this pain.   4/28/21 ? 8:32 am having trouble lifting my arm, very heavy fingers numb fatigued like I just lifted something really heavy by myself. I was finally able to move arms enough to was the dishes.  Left side of face still swollen. Under my arm put and beside/behind my breast rib cage still sore. Finally, was able to take bath. Not hot because I didn?t want any more swelling.   4/29/21 ? Only woke up a couple of time and slept better so thought I would try to go for a walk outside today. My headache I thought was pretty much gone. I didn?t last more than 8 mins. I felt like I couldn?t stand, exhausted, not strong enough and needed to sit down.  My migraine is back and I feel nausea, not hungry, face is swollen still.   I have lymphedema and use my machine every night, but it?s almost like the shot increases inflammation all over my body, find the places that have been affected before and gets in there. I only drink water, no coffee, tea or juice and no alcohol since 3 days before my 1st shot and was planning to continue that until 2 months after my 2nd shot.
