Clinical narrative: On April 29, 2021, I received my second Moderna Shot at 12:15 PM.  Eating dinner that afternoon, 6.22 PM, I was eating a salad and thought it was odd that it was hard for me to get the lettuce down.  I had to chew excessively and drink water to get the food down.  I just thought I was dehydrated; I drank more water and went to bed.  The next morning, I was at a little food and a allergy pill-Loartadine(because my noise was stuffy.  I had the same issue.  I then went to the urgent care,  phone number (private).  I told the doctor that I felt like something was in my throat and that I had difficulty swallowing.  I told the doctor that I just got the 2nd Moderna vaccine.  His response was that he had never heard of anyone having a reaction to the vaccine like this and proceeded to test me for strep throat, the test was negative.  He discharged me and told me to drink plenty of fluids and eat soft food.   May 1, 2021, Saturday, we drove to city for our planned vacation.  I drank water and drank protein shakes and took my allergy pill-chewing it. May 2, 2021, I drink water and soup and allergy pill, and had some rice. I had some foamy spit.  I have no pain but my throat is still dry.  I cannot drench my thirst.  May 3, 2021, I drink water and protein shakes and my allergy pill.  May 4, 2021, we are getting ready to go back to town.  That morning I was washing clothes at the hotel and noticed that my throat was dryer than the days before and noticed my breathing was different.   I called the Urgent Care and gave them this information and nurse suggested that I go to the hospital.  We drove to Medical Center. Phone (private).  My breathing was getting shorter, and it was getting hard to swallow.  I drank water and tried to stay calm.  I thought my throat was going to close and then I was going to die.  The hospital did blood test, contiguous axial CT images, I was given a shot, antihistamine, Isovue and prescribed prednisone. The report stated that I had reaction to vaccine and dysphagia.  I felt some relief, breathing wise and better swallowing but like earlier that week.  I realized that I did not take my allergy pill.  I called the store and spoke the pharmacist and asked them about the issues I was having and stated that they had never heard of my issue.  I then went to my dentist May 7, Friday, and she gave me gel wash and tablets and told me to buy the dry mouth rinse.  I drake water and broth, I took the antacid, burping helped a little. On May 9, 2021, Sunday, I felt a weird sensation in jaw and the top of my head.  Throughout the rest of the month weird sensation like my brain was awaking the damaged areas.   It felt like when your leg was asleep, and you moved it.  This was happening at the base of my neck and the top of my head.  I knew there was going on with my brain because cutting onions did not even make my eyes water.  By June 3, 2021, I was eating a little more like bean soup, something was smooth and then move to solid food, but I could still feel like something was at the back of my throat. The sensation stopped and I was able to eat but I went into a deep depression.  I still cannot swallow pills. I must chew my food very carefully and if it is not safe, I will spit it out. I spent months thinking I could die at anytime and leave my family. To end, I have medical bills that have accrued because of this.  I have suffered mentally and physically because of this vaccine. I fear the future because I do not know fully how this vaccine has affected my body. I am also left with the fact that I do not know how to protect myself fully from covid-19 in the future.
