Clinical course: Caller states that he is calling about the Pfizer Covid Medication. It has attacked his autoimmune system. Caller apologizes saying that he has trouble paying attention. He is Dying, this has been going on for 22 months, he relied on the clinic to save him. the Flushing began right after the second shot. He has Autoimmune disorders and takes 19 different medication. after he took the second dose he reported to his primary care doctor on 30Mar2021 that he is flushing. The Flushing started by the end of the month in Feb2021, he does not know specific dates of when the flushing started, it flies over his head, but these are the dates he recalls.

Patient described that the Flushing, he again states that if a person were to see him they cannot tell he has it, from what he was reading online there are 2 kinds of flushing wet and dry. He has Dry Flushing, in which it makes him lose energy, it eats his shorts that's a saying for it makes him feel terrible, to the point that he has that restless leg feeling, feels like a hole in the gut, it's on and on, certain points in the day, every time he eats or drinks or anything he will flush. Outcome of Event: In the beginning it happened and went away, then later in the days it was happening again and again, each progressive day is worse. Based on everything else, he starts his day with a thyroid pill at 7 in the morning and he has medications that continue till 11. Right now as a treatment they gave him Prilosec, clarifying Prilosec is incorrect it's the medication they give when they don't know, they give something when something's wrong, it Started with P, caller later clarified it was prednisone. They offered him a 4th shot about a month and a half ago but he refused. Even with this flushing. He has 9 things he has to do with his eyes, drops, then wash eyelids with pad etc. Every part of his body is effected. He takes probiotics on schedule to be able to go bathroom, he has medication not leak pee wise. All of that, he does what he needs to do, he does not miss. many of the medications he takes today is similar to what he was taking before the flushing started. He was treated with Prednisone for the muscle pain, it was prescribed recently after he has seen 3 neurologist and 20 different people. His muscles hurt, they couldn't account for it, he has been on prednisone for 3 or 4 months. First Prednisone he was to taper 6,5,4,3,2,1. Right now he is taking 2.5mg tablets of prednisone that he tapers down, he is to taper down over 14 weeks, but he takes each of those for 2 weeks, he clarified that he would take 6 tablets for 2 weeks, then 5 tablets for 2 weeks, and right now he is on 4 tablets for 2 weeks, last night was the 7th day, this is the second bottle. He told them its coming back, the person that's given this to him is a rheumatologist, she didn't know what else to do, he has been to 20 different doctors, the rheumatologist said now after he will finish 14 weeks, then to drop him down again, then 9 pills, they don't come any other way. Patient reported may be a lot number saying if he is able to read it, he needs extra light, and a magnifying glass,  his eyes are effected,  he reads the # off the pharmacy label. He is sure there is, basically he has been thrown out of the ER 4 times, thrown out if triage, they don't believe him, it goes back to him kind of being unique, his firm belief is that they are people, already with problems, and they gave him this medication that has never been tested, there is no background history. He knows that everything has a problems, any medication causes problems. He is wanting to ask if there is a way to stop this, not one day he is without this, whatever intervention they did didn't work, he is no better today than the first, no doctor, he is still exactly the same at 6 months ago, Over the 6-9 months the world hasn't change, it's just as bad today, and he anticipates tomorrow it will be the same, nothing has worked, no scans nothing.
