Then last week she also had a headache for two days in a row, but that could be due to the change in the weather, she doesn't know what that is. She said that a week and a half ago a rash, a measles like rash on her chest, arms and midriff developed. She wasn't sure if it was because she was working outside, or related to the vaccine. She did find a couple of ticks on her. She called the local farm bureau and they said no, it wasn't from the ticks because the ticks would of burrowed their head into the skin. It was probably because she was outside. The patient has been taking Benadryl do to the fact that she has been outside and she has been very itchy. Everything is in bloom right now, but she was wearing long pants and long sleeves with gloves. The patient's itching is horrible. The patient night before up all night took Benadryl. She got a cream her husband use to used for eczema, it was an anti-itch cream, and she also used Aveeno eczema cream that has calamine lotion in it. The patient hasn't gone and seen her doctor yet because she felt better two days later and thought it was subsiding. The patient might be because she takes a shower and then she is alright for a couple of hours because of all the creams she is using. The last night she was up till 3 am because of the itching. She stated that she knows you are not suppose to take other peoples medication but she had Prednisone 10 mg in the house, from her husband when he would have eczema flare ups, and she took that at 3 in the morning. She said that her doctor thought there has been too much time from when she got the vaccine for it to be related so she googled and it said that people can get a measles like rash, and read something about being on their toes, but hers wasn't on her toes. Her rash was just her chest, arm, part of her legs and midriff. She stated that she is nervous, and she lost her husband a year ago on 28 APR and she doesn't know, if it is just nerves/stress or if it due to the reaction.

Her doctor thought it was cellulitis and she had to take antibiotics for a week. She stated that she had to wait longer then the normal 15 minutes because of her previous reaction so they made he wait for 30 mins when she got the covid vaccine. The first shot did not hurt at all. She asked that because she said that the second vaccine hurt immediately, it was discomforting. She thought she hit a nerve. She said it was like someone ran a nail down all the way down to her elbow. She doesn't know if she hit a nerve or what, but it was very painful. Clarified her headache started Sunday night after the vaccine and went away Monday. The patient thought the rash might be shingles, but then she was like no, that is only suppose to be on one side of a body. She stated that she needs to get the new shingles shot because the one that she had years ago isn't good anymore. She hasn't had new shingles immunization yet because she had to get the COVID shot.
