Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Anaemia, Dysmenorrhoea, Heavy menstrual bleeding, Hysterectomy, Iron deficiency
Clinical narrative: Over the course of the last 9-10 months, my menstrual periods have gotten heavier and heavier to the point where I was soaking through a tampon or pad every 30 mins. I went to the OBGYN and did an ultrasound to look at the uterus and they found a thickened uterine lining and abnormal growth that they could see that resembled a polyp. Both of those things would be the cause of abnormal and heavy menstrual bleeding. I also had intensified cramping with intense pain for each period for each month. Would get worse and worse. In November, OBGYN put me on medication called Tranexamic acid to slow down the period until I could see the surgeon for surgical intervention because the medication was a temporary fix. In January 2022 I saw the OBGYN surgeon where we discussed treatment options and it was recommended that I get a total hysterectomy. February 2, 2022, they removed my uterus, fallopian tubes and cervix. Left the ovaries for hormonal control. They sent it off for pathology for the fibroid tumors and the polyp and the fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus. Found that they were fibroid tumors, and nothing was cancerous, polyp was also non-cancerous. At the time I did the ultrasound, there was no mention of the fibroid tumors so I'm not sure if they developed during all this time or if they were not spotted during the initial ultrasound. That's what was found during the hysterectomy. Before I saw the OBGYN, somewhere around that time I had an ER visit for the heavy bleeding and it made me anemic with iron deficiency.

Symptoms: Deafness neurosensory, Ear congestion, Ear discomfort, Feeling hot, Tinnitus
Clinical narrative: About 24-26 hours after injection I began experiencing a fullness, congestion, pressure, and warmness in my deep ear area bilateral.  This was accompanied by a shift in my hearing that can best be described as droning sounds and low tones being pronounced.  It did seem that some tones were harding to hear but this was difficult to determine.  In some ways it sounded like being underwater.  The feeling was moderate in severity and did come on over seconds to minutes equally in both ears.  The symptoms progressed slightly over several hours.  By 10pm that evening I was hearing ringing in my ears.  I had contacted several physician friends that advised me to start a course of prednisone.   The physical symptoms slowly resolved over 3 days.  A slight ringing in ears was still persistent on 2/14, five days following the Phizer Covid Vaccine booster.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Dyspnoea exertional, Electrocardiogram, Gait disturbance, Laboratory test normal, Oxygen saturation decreased
Clinical narrative: 1-2 weeks after receiving my second dose of Pfizer, I started having heart palpitations, and dyspnea on exertion. I didnt think much of it at first, but it continues for over a month and it became difficult to climb stairs. I got the first available doctors appointment at the end of March, and the doctor noted that my saturations were dropping as we walked around the clinic. The symptoms continued for another month, but resolved around May. I was in good health previously. I was referred to pulmonology and cardiology, but wasnt able to get an appointment with cardiology given scheduling issues. At the time, the association between vaccine side effects like myocarditis weren't well known, so my PCP was more concerned with asthma, though as a doctor myself, I keep articulating that I think its heart related and having been so close to when I received the vaccine, there was a causation.

Clinical narrative: I had a moderate case of COVID in March 2021; my symptoms stopped about nine days before I received the vaccine.  About 24 hours after I received my first shot, I started experiencing a high-frequency sound in my head, later diagnosed as tinnitus.  I had never had tinnitus before this event.    The tinnitus is constant and has not ceased since that time.  The intensity varies from periods of moderate loudness lasting a month or two interspersed with shorter periods of increased intensity lasting 1-2 weeks.  On the advice of my doctor, I held off on getting the second shot in order to avoid making the tinnitus worse.  In December 2021, I got the second shot.  On my doctor's advice, I got the J&J vaccine instead of Moderna, in case the tinnitus was related to the Moderna vaccine specifically.  Since then my tinnitus symptoms have remained the same.  I plan to get my booster shot in the next few weeks.

Symptoms: Cardiac imaging procedure abnormal, Cardiac stress test, Chest pain, Dyspnoea, Heart rate increased
Clinical narrative: Started off with shortness of breath, chest pain and rapid heart beat - I took an Aspirin and called the ambulance and they took me to the hospital (05/28/2021) and stress test and sonogram and MRI was performed to determine what was wrong . They said there was no adverse effect but it appeared that there was a myocarditis that came from the my Moderna Covid 19 shot. I was prescribed with Pantoprazole and Colchicine and after these medications my symptom subsided and my condition was stabilized and I was released from the hospital the following day.

Symptoms: Condition aggravated, Dizziness, Fatigue, Hypoaesthesia, Myasthenia gravis
Clinical narrative: I began feeling more fatigue than normal for my condition on August 9, 2021. I have frequent days in a year of greater than average fatigue due to the Myasthenia Gravis, so I paid little attention except to take it easy that day and take additional prednisone that day. The fatigue continued. By August 15, I began experiencing far greater fatigue than normal to the point where I felt faint, but did not do so. I began sending messages to my Neurology physician about the fatigue. August 16- my jaw felt numb at times during the day. August 18- entire face felt numb, which was a first with Myasthenia Gravis. I was in frequent contact with Dr. over my worsening symptoms. She called Dr. from Neurology Dept. and both recommended that I go the ER. I was admitted into the hospital on August 18, 2021 for five days.

Symptoms: Angiogram cerebral normal, Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody negative, Biopsy artery normal, Blood HIV RNA below assay limit, Blood culture negative
Clinical narrative: Onset of multiple neurological symptoms 5 days after receiving the 3rd dose of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. Patient was hospitalized, underwent extensive workup and diagnosed with vaccine-induced Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP - Guillain-Barre Syndrome) with bilateral facial nerve palsy, which is detailed in VAERS Event Report 1759017-1. The patient experienced a second post-vaccination autoimmune inflammatory syndrome, beginning 24 days after the 3rd COVID-19 vaccine (5 days post-hospitalization for AIDP).  It presented with a daily low-grade fever 99.5-100.4, fatigue, malaise, generalized pressure headache; phono-phobia; infrequent nausea with dry heaving; and episodic dizziness with motion. Normal CBC and negative blood cultures x2. Infection and tumor surveys were unremarkable. HIV remained stable and undetectable. Treatment with a 6-day Medrol steroid pack without effect. Continued daily low-grade fever <100.4 with subsequent start of Ibuprofen and then with alternating dosages of Acetaminophen. Elevated temperature breakthrough with prominent constitutional symptoms persisting for 70 days despite Ibuprofen/ Acetaminophen. AIDP neurological symptoms never relapsed and progressively improved over this time period. No patient or family history of autoimmune diseases. Headache characteristics changed with temporal/frontal aching and point tenderness over temporal artery/branch vessels. No respiratory, gastrointestinal, skin or urinary symptoms. Elevated ESR rate of 58 mm/Hr and C-reactive protein of 17.8 mg/L. Rheumatology suspected Giant Cell Arteritis and initiated Prednisone 60mg QD. All symptoms and low-grade fever resolved within 3-5 days. MRI Head Angiogram without evidence of aneurysm or stenosis. No eye abnormalities noted on a dilated fundoscopic examination by Ophthalmology. Pulmonary radiography and computed tomography demonstrated no active disease. Temporal Artery Biopsy after 17 days on high-dose steroids demonstrated no evidence of acute or chronic inflammatory vasculitis.  Positive titer for Serine Protease 3 Antibody with 34 AU/ mL.  Diagnosis of COVID-19 Vaccine-Related ANCA Positive Vasculitis. Prednisone taper x3 months, currently at 10mg QD with continued remission of symptoms/elevated temperature.
