Clinical narrative: I entered the second vaccine of the series in the report because my daughter's reaction took place after that specific vaccine, but I believe it to be a cumulative effect of the two initial vaccines and the booster which was given on January 11, 2022. Symptoms appeared to be a cumulative effect of three covid vaccines, with her symptoms emerging after the second vaccine and intensifying significantly after the third covid booster vaccine. Vaccine #1 was Pfizer EW0191 on 6/6/21 administered at Pharmacy and the third Covid Booster Vaccine was Pfizer FJ5682 administered on 1/11/22 by the State County Department of Health. Prior to my daughter's symptoms developing, she was an honor student on a full academic scholarship to a private high school. She was an accomplished athlete in many sports, but soccer was her favorite. She was the starting goalie for the varsity soccer team as a freshman and had been a competitive alpine ski racer, figure skater, Gaelic football player and track sprinter. She was a child genius, with an IQ of 141 who was accepted into (redacted) as a ten year old girl. She loved foreign languages, having studied (redacted). She was a  viola player at the school orchestra. She was a member of her school's robotics team. She had a giant personality, full of laughter and confidence. She has a zest for life that quite frankly, we found it hard to keep up with! She was unstoppable, energetic and loved life. Late August 2021 she began to experience increased shortness of breath that we initially attributed to asthma. Fall (September) 2021 into Winter 2022 her athleticism diminished after the beginnings of orthostatic intolerance, occasional blood pooling when standing or walking, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, paresthesias, frequent fainting (several times a week) especially with position change, palpitations, shortness of breath (we initially thought it was exacerbated asthma, but it kept intensifying) insomnia and anxiety began to creep in. She was eventually diagnosed with POTS in 2024 by a cardiologist, after being dismissed as anxious  for two years. We did not understand that her symptoms could be related to the vaccine because we were being reassured by providers that this was just anxiety. My daughter subsequently got the Covid booster on 1/11/22 and after that her symptoms got much more severe. By late January-February 2022 she was in full crisis, self harming regularly and crushed by social anxiety. As the winter went on her symptoms worsened, dissociation, auditory hallucinations, significant hair loss, depression, suicidal ideation, increased germ OCD, disordered eating, heat intolerance, trouble regulating hot and cold, tingling and numbness in her legs and feet, chest pains, and inability to stand for periods of time. She became unable to think clearly and perform academically as she used to, eventually having to leave her private school honors program and enter the public high school so that she could have academic accommodations for support. Ultimately those accommodations weren't enough and she was placed into a day school for students with disabilities that provides extra support in addition to the accommodations. My daughter is on many medications now to keep her functioning in the world, but her life is drastically different now than it was before the vaccines. As her anxiety and depression worsened between Winter 2022 into Fall of 2023 She found it increasingly difficult to function and has endured many inpatient hospitalizations for psychiatric symptoms, which have been very traumatic for her. She has had 8 psychiatric hospitalizations between September 2023 and present day (May 24, 2025). We have tried many things to bring her relief from depression, including many different medication trials, therapies, ketamine infusions, and ECT. She is scheduled to graduate high school this June, but has just deferred college for a year hoping to work on her recovery. She is hoping to be well enough to begin college in Fall of 2026. Here is a list of the diagnoses that she has had since vaccination that were not present before vaccination: Depression Anxiety Parasthesias CIDP POTS / Dysautonomia Autonomic dysfunction Gastro reflux Functional bloating Cognitive change Here is a list of her hospitalizations : Hospitalizations: entered here because the VAERS system times out after 20 minutes and won't allow time to enter all of the admissions   At ER Admitted  Discharged  Hospital 9/28/23 9/29/23 10/17/23 (redacted) Behavioral Health N/A 11/3/23 11/10/23 Direct admission to (Redacted) 11/24/23 11/25/23 12/21/23 (redacted) Behavioral Health  N/A 12/21/23 2/18/24 (redacted) horse farm residential therapeutic center in (redacted) 4/8/24 4/10/24 4/16/24 (redacted) Behavioral Health 5/23/24 5/24/24 5/31/24 (redacted) Behavioral Health 7/6/24 7/7/24 8/2/24 (redacted) Behavioral Health 10/5/24 10/7/24 11/20/24 (redacted) Behavioral Health 2/15/25 2/18/25 4/4/25 (redacted) Behavioral Health
