On 02Feb2021, the patient received a call from the doctor's office saying that the physician assistant would call her back, but the patient had not heard anything yet. The blood circulated around her eye and now it was just only under her pupil.

The patient said that she was concerned about this with the facial numbness.  The patient said that every once in a while, her face felt weird; her cheeks feel weird and her nose. The patient said that it comes and goes.  The day after she got the second shot, she felt like she got run over by a truck and like someone beat her up. The patient's migraines were under control with magnesium. The migraine came on so quick it was like a boom. The patient said that was why she was concerned.
