Clinical narrative: All three tested positive for COVID and she was the only one who didn't; fatty liver; her immunity is lower now; Essential thrombocytosis; clotting platelet elevated; Elevated liver enzymes; head pain; shooting pain going across her head, from the base of her neck up to the middle of her and also around the top of head/left temple was always where her headaches were; strange sensation in the nerves; had fatigue, fatigue in arm; had fatigue, fatigue in arm; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 66-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE mRNA, formulation: solution for injection), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 23Feb2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EL9266) as DOSE 2, SINGLE (at the age of 65-years-old), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on 05Feb2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EL3302) as DOSE 1, SINGLE (at the age of 65-years-old) for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history included ongoing haemangioma, what they thought were lesions on her liver were hemangioma's which she has had for 15 years and known about. Concomitant medications included calcium and vitamin D NOS. The patient on an unspecified date in 2021, experienced head pain; shooting pain going across her head, from the base of her neck up to the middle of her and also around the top of head/left temple was always where her headaches were, platelets have been elevated, essential thrombocytosis, and elevated liver enzymes. The patient took the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine, queried whether there were any reports of elevated clotting platelet after taking the vaccine. The patient mentioned that she had a normal platelet count in Feb2020 and all of a sudden, her clotting platelet elevated after she got the vaccine. The caller explained she had shooting pain going across her head, from the base of her neck up to the middle of her and also around the top of head. It was like strange sensation in the nerves. It was like a tension headache where a part of it did not materialize. Caller stated that she had fatigue, fatigue in arm, and other things but the rest of it was pretty normal. The caller explained her clotting platelets have been elevated. She was normal before. In Feb2020, she had blood work, and everything was normal. At the time of report, her clotting platelets were elevated, and she was diagnosed with essential thrombocytosis which meant her body was making too many platelets. The caller stated that the shooting pain in her head just kind of randomly happened. She had it weeks later and it went away. She was alarmed by it. She was on her computer and all of a sudden out of nowhere, she had this strange head pain. She does not remember whether it was after the first or second dose of the COVID vaccine, she has not had it again. She stated it was not like a normal headache and where her normal headaches were. She clarified her left temple was always where her headaches were. This was not normal headache; it was a different kind of pain in her head. What concerned her more is why all of a sudden, she was having this weird blood disorder. She explained she went from 592,000 and then a month later went to 650,000. The doctor was planning to check her in 3 months to ensure her levels were not getting any whackier. She was reading stuff about this happening to people with their white blood cell count and she wanted to know whether there was any correlation with these things. And whether did it trigger a mutation in her bone marrow. The patient queried whether it was a lifelong sickness. She was worried she would spend the rest of her life dealing with this and that she may be shooting off blood clots and have a fatal incident from a blood clot. And now, they were pushing getting the booster shot. She wanted to know why she should need more now. Caller made the comment that she was with three people on 24Jul2021, inside at dinner. She was with person who was coughing their brains out but had a mask on, another person who was not wearing a mask, and the third person who only had one shot. All three tested positive for COVID and she was the only one who did not. She clarified she still had immunity obviously, and she does not want to get another shot. The caller asked whether she should get an antibody test to see how many antibodies she has left. The doctor told even if she does not have antibodies, it does not mean the efficacy of the vaccine was not good. She does not want to over immunize herself especially after freaking out about these clotting platelets. The caller stated the doctors do not think it was the COVID vaccine although it takes years of research and data to come up with answers and correlations. She was just on the more curious side of life and always trying to find out how to save people and help people. The caller stated she has to save herself because it was a dangerous situation, she has to live in. Caller explained she does not have any medical conditions or anything. She was only taking Calcium which she had been taking for a couple of years. She had never taken anything. She was taking Vitamin D, but she was fine at the time of the vaccine. Her immunity was lower at the time of reporting than it was probably was then because she has been hiding in the house. She clarified she was on Vitamin D, but she does not take anything different or new. The caller stated she had not gone near a doctor until she went in Feb2021 for her annual. She was thrilled she had gotten that over with. It was only after the vaccine, her levels started to go back up this Jun2021. She hurt herself at the gym and thought she broke a rib, so she went to the doctor for that. They did blood work, and her liver enzymes were elevated. She was sent for an ultrasound which scared her because she was told they saw things on liver and that she had a fatty liver. She was skinny and does not eat fatty food. She was scheduled for an MRI and her MRI came back normal; her liver enzymes went back to normal which was bizarre. It was determined through her MRI, that what they thought were lesions on her liver were hemangioma's which she has had for 15 years and known about. They sent her merrily on her way. The patient's liver enzymes were re-tested a month later and her levels went back down. One of the readings, GGP or GPG or something (caller was not sure what it was called), still showed high and they thought that was a fatty liver. She lost 5lbs and was trying to lose fat. She then had elevated platelets. They tested her again and her platelet levels went up more. She had genetic molecular studies, and everything came back fine except she was diagnosed with essential thrombocytosis which was a genetic thing where she was making too many platelets. This was out of the clear blue and the caller was wondering if there was any correlation with the Covid vaccine. The patient did not want to get the booster shot and it made her platelet levels go off the chart and she have to take serous medications with serious side effects. She has read these medications could cause serious side effects such as non-melanoma skin cancers, and it was dangerous. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood work: normal on an unspecified date in Feb2020, blood work: elevated liver enzymes on an unspecified date in Jun2021, elevated liver enzymes: elevated liver enzymes on an unspecified date in Jun2021, elevated liver enzymes: levels went back down on an unspecified date, liver enzymes were re-tested a month later and her levels went back down, , investigation: essential thrombocytosis, she had genetic molecular studies and everything came back fine except she was diagnosed with essential thrombocytosis , magnetic resonance imaging: normal on Jun2021, platelet count: 592,000 on an unspecified date in Jun2021 and 650,000 elevated clotting platelet, platelet count: normal on an unspecified date in Feb2020, COVID-19 test : not positive on Jun2021, ultrasound scan: they saw things on liver and that she had a fatty liver, on an unspecified date in Jun2021 they saw things on liver and that she had a fatty liver. The patient recovered from the event head pain; shooting pain going across her head, from the base of her neck up to the middle of her and also around the top of head/left temple was always where her headaches were on an unspecified date in 2021. The clinical outcome for the other events was unknown.
