Clinical narrative: Monday, April 5, 2021    Thank you for this opportunity to share my experience. Healthy, no underlying conditions, active, On Saturday, March 27th at around noon, I had my 2nd Pfizer vaccine, administered in my right arm at the  The injection was painless, I had zero symptoms initially following the injection and none the rest of that day.  On Sunday, upon waking, my arm was uncomfortable but not painful. No symptoms on Sunday.  On Monday, upon waking, my arm was more uncomfortable, I felt a little off; minor headache, minor light headed feeling, so I took 2 Tylenol.   On Tuesday, upon waking, my arm was very painful at the injection site. It was difficult to raise my arm above my shoulder.  I did not take any Tylenol although I still felt a little off. I massaged the injection site. We have a brand new 2021 hot tub that we use daily so I got in and positioned my right arm injection site on a bubbly jet to massage the area. It helped alleviate the severe pain and muscle stiffness.   I had an English muffin, 1 poached egg and banana, I showered, got dressed and my husband and I went to the bank and to store. While in store, around 12:30 ? 1:00 PM, I began to feel light headed, very hot; not a fever hot, just very temperature hot. I told my husband I needed to leave NOW. He got me a cold water and we left.   Upon arriving home ? say 20 minutes later, I was very light headed and nauseous. I went directly to bed to lie down.  By 2:00 PM, my nausea was extreme as I laid in bed. I knew I would feel better if I could throw up, but I also knew I would have to make my self do it because it wasn?t happening on it?s own.  I went to the bathroom and began to put my finger near my mouth and that?s all it took and I violently vomited 3 times.  The vomit was liquidy, and old blood red. Remember, for breakfast I had had a dry English muffin, poached egg and banana. NOTHING red!  I screamed for my husband who came in and was shocked to see the color and volume of vomit. He helped to clean me up and help me back to bed, where I immediately returned to the bathroom with severe diarrhea?the same old blood red color.  Again, he helped to clean me up and help me to lie down.  He got me cool water which I sipped.  Within an hour, I rushed back to the bathroom and VIOLENTLY threw up again. Severe convulsions, unable to breath in between each convulsion.  Old blood red, liquid, and to make matters even worse, the same color liquidy diarrhea. This went on for another 20 minutes.  My husband was with me the entire time as the extreme convulsions contorted me and I could not keep aim to the toilet. I thought I had internal bleeding and was dying! I have never been this sick!!!  Again, he cleaned me up, helped me back to bed where I was exhausted. He encouraged me to sip cool water which I did.  On Wednesday morning upon waking, I was less nauseous. My husband urged me to try a dry English muffin (my normal morning routine). I was able to eat a few bites and keep them down. I showered to clean myself up and that did me in. I made it to the couch for the day. Sipping water and trying to complete the dry English muffin. On Wednesday I did not have a bowel movement.  On Thursday morning upon waking, I was less nauseous and was able to drink a cup of tea and finish a dry English muffin. On Thursday I did not have a bowel movement.  On Friday morning upon waking, I was not nauseous. I was able to drink a cup of tea and finish a dry English muffin and 1 poached egg. On Friday I did not have a bowel movement.  On Saturday, now 1 week following the injection, I was better. Able to shower, able to eat, able to get out of the house. I had a small bowel movement that was the same dark color but somewhat in tact.  On Sunday, Easter, I felt really good. Ate breakfast, lunch and dinner. Had a better bowel movement; not dark but ?my? normal color and condition.  My theory (and I am not a scientist or medical person in ANY way!!!). When my arm was SO painful at the injection site and I got in the hot tub and placed my arm on a bubbly jet, it?s like I released the full burst of vaccine ? like a bolus ? into my system, rather than letting the muscle spasm release allowing the vaccine to gently circulate through my body.  In July and I can assure you that in my all of my years of owning this body, I have NEVER experienced any flu or sickness with this severe or this violent convulsing vomiting and NEVER experienced the color of the contents!!!!  My husband, with no underlying conditions, has also had both of his shots. He had no side effects. Yeah!!  Since this experience, I have not been able to drink coffee or wine, of which both were a regular part of my diet.   Now on a lighter note, less coffee and wine isn?t a bad thing, however since this episode I cannot fathom the thought of either of those entering my system.  Thank you again for this opportunity to share my experience. I am glad to have both shots and I hope I am NEVER this sick again!!!!
