Medical history included spleen removed many years ago due to enlargement from the blood disorder. Also had ongoing spherocytosis (States takes B12 and Folic Acid for this condition), ongoing sleep disorder, ongoing narcolepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome. She got pneumonia and respiratory failure after pneumonia vaccine and was hospitalized for 6 weeks. This happened years ago. She was almost died. So she avoids vaccines. Concomitant medications included ongoing methylphenidate hydrochloride (RITALIN) for sleep disorder and narcolepsy (20 years), folic acid for spherocytosis, cyanocobalamin (B12-VITAMIIN) for spherocytosis. No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). Patient received the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNtech Covid-19 vaccine on 12Mar2021 at 11:30 (Friday as reported). In the evening she started experiencing some reactions (caller states she got the paper with the side effects and it mentions that they are usually worse after the second dose of the vaccine); chills, hives, headache and extreme fatigue on 12Mar2021. She is still very tired (crippling fatigue) and her headache is not so bad. She felt fine until around 1700 of the same day, when she experienced chills, hives, headache, became very tired, couldn't stay awake and went to bed. The next day she still had a headache, was still tired, hives were gone. At this time, just the extreme fatigue is continuing. States that today she is so tired she cannot function. Also mentions that she did not get a vaccine card from the facility that administered the vaccination. States that she is sorry that she got the product because she has a history of chronic fatigue syndrome and wondered if this would trigger it; but that her doctor said it would not.
