The patient previously took flu shot for immunization and experienced arm would swell up. Three minutes into getting the vaccine the patient felt a little disoriented, dizzy. It was hard to explain. She mentioned she has an allergy to shellfish real bad. One thing that happens with her allergy to shellfish is a paralyzation. She stated after getting the COVID shot she started to have the parazalation feeling, she started losing feeling in her arm/legs and her head started to drop. She knew something was about to happen. Therefore, she called the lady over at the facility and two people came over to help lay her down. She could not get her legs to move. She then went into convulsions. Her brain was telling her to "do stuff but my body wasn't responding. She had the convulsions for a little over two hours and it was uncontrollable. They called the paramedics. Her breathing had tighten a little. This did not last long. The convulsions was the main thing. After this ended she was fine. She was fully aware and alert. During the convulsions she had no muscle control. After two hours, someone came to get her, but she could not move he legs. She collapsed and someone had to carry her to the car and into the house. She fell asleep and now she is fine today. She woke up with the headache this morning (16Jul2021). Body aches started this morning (16Jul2021). She started moving around and was stiff and sore. She noticed arm is sore where the shot was immediately when they gave it. However, it is really sore today. Head feels full started this morning (16Jul2021). She woke up with it. Weak started yesterday after the shot. She was wiped out. The weakness is better. After the convulsions she had tiredness and weakness. It's a little better than yesterday. She was totally wiped out yesterday. She was tired today. Treatment included that she took Benadryl immediately because she knew she would have to with allergies. She normally carries an Epi Pen with her, but she did not have to use the Epi Pen. Her breathing had improved quickly. She stated she keeps Benadryl in all sorts of containers and carries every with her. She stated she could go in the store, smell shrimp and have a reaction. She keeps the Benadryl on her at all times and not necessarily the bottle it came in. She stated when the ambulance came she refused to go to the hospital. She had the convulsions and gave it time to clear out. She thought about going to the hospital, but did not . She knew it would take a while for the shot to wear off and it would not be immediate. Her breathing was okay so she did not go to the hospital. She stated she knew with the convulsions this was something possibly with the allergic reaction. She then clarified the convulsions was new. Normally, with allergic reaction her throat closes up and she gets the paraylzation feeling. Her body then shuts down.
