Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Paraesthesia, Visual impairment
Clinical narrative: I had an auto immune response to vaccine - felt numbing in arm right after vaccine; I noticed it going down my arm (the fluid from the injection). Once I left the building, I could feel that my face was numb and having tingling feeling .(Note: My neck sometimes causes me problems due to my pregnancy - before the vaccine - I was having an issue with my neck and that was going down into making my arms feel like they were going numb.) When my face went number, I had a hard time talking well for the next two or three days. My face and jaw were weak; my arms and hands were weak too.  It went up my whole arm and on my torso (the numbness) - it was going up and down my body - it wasn't just staying in one place. I went to my mom's place and she gave me some juice. I did feel better when I had some juice but could tell I was having some kind of reaction. I did feel better when I drank the juice and some water. My husband met me for lunch and when I called him, I coughed - and I started seeing things around my eyes like I was going to pass out and I drank more water. I ate (burger) and I did feel a bit better. I was still having these issues with the numbness going from one part of my body to other. I drove home (30 minutes) and did feel a bit better. It felt like I was just "off" and not doing well - noticed I wasn't breathing as well. I noticed my heart was racing. I could feel my heart was having palpitations. I called the doctor for my pregnancy and she could tell I was trying to catch my breath. I was trying to stay calm through all of this and my mind wasn't racing. When I talked to her, she thought I should go to ER, she said I sounded out of breath and my heart was racing. At that point, I was nervous to drive,  I was having some kind of vision problems - it was going in and out (like a disorientation). My husband drove me to ER.  I drank some water though on the way and I felt better after doing that. I'm really sensitive to any kind of chemicals/drugs - I can be affected easily. (This is still within the first 2 hours after shot.) At ER, I drank more water. They told me not to take the 2nd vaccine at least while I was pregnant. They gave me Benadryl - IV 25 mg. And I felt so much better.  Dr told me Benadryl can help with anxiety and with allergic reaction. The fast heartrate did go on for awhile - I did take Benadryl in the middle of the night that night and I had to take Benadryl through the next week or two to help sleep. I kept track of my heart rate because in the morning, I felt like I felt it more in the morning. I checked in with my doctor about it and she told me to watch it. It got up over 100 but it never got to the point that it was dangerous.   Numbness  finally went away eventually  - it lasted about three or four days. My left eye was twitching - it took about three weeks for that to go away. I did get chills that night of the vaccine; I didn't get a fever. I slept - was so tired - I would get the meals for everyone but then take naps and I slept long at night and Benadryl helped with it. I did trip and fall the second or third day after the vaccine - I tripped on something - but I feel like I tripped because I was a little disorientated.  I knew I had to be careful and take care of myself because of the symptoms.  Four days after I had the shot, I got sick with COVID-like symptoms. Five days later I got a cough. I did not take a COVID test because other members of family tested and didn't have it.  Pregnancy history  - 6 pregnancies and 4 live births and the first one was a miscarriage.
