Addition information: 10 minutes after receiving the vaccine he started to have a reaction and was in an ambulance within 20 minutes to the hospital. On protonix twice a day, and nausea medicine every 6-8 hours, Zofran, and phenergan at night to help sleep and relax. The patient stated:" whenever I try to hold something for awhile the tremors and the shaking something harder left side of the body is way weaker than the right. The events had pretty much left her disabled. My doctors point blank have told I am having the same reaction that children are having to your shot I am, so you can tell me that it is not being reported having a ramp put in in order for me to get around. She wants to see what Pfizer's plan is and get all the information from Pfizer. She was a healthy personal trainer and then within 10 minutes her whole life was screwed, she is screwed essentially. She wants to walk through the steps and she has called everyone who has been recommended for her to call and is trying to figure out everything that she can do for this. Event Details: She wanted to get the vaccine and she was perfectly fine at first. She got the shot and it wasn't a big deal, it didn't hurt, just a little poke. Then she was hit like a brick wall. All of a sudden she got lightheaded, dizzy and she felt like she was going to throw up. She told her husband that she needed to sit down and she told him how she was feeling. She sat down and then the lady who gave her the shot was coming to check on her. While the caller was sitting there she was calm but her heartrate was steadily rising and it was to the point where it was so high that it was not funny, it was pounding. The whole left side of her chest was hurting, she had pain in her left arm, her chest was killing her, she was short winded, her head was pounding and she felt like she was going to pass out at any second. She was more calm than the lady that gave her the shot was. The lady said that she didn't know how the caller was so calm but the caller said that there was no point in freaking out, that won't help. She was sitting there and they had the blood pressure cuff hooked up, they were taking her temperature, talking to her and they were getting an ambulance for her. That is kind of how it all started and then the symptoms became more and then more symptoms came on and pretty much she left there and went to the hospital in an ambulance. The only symptoms that have calmed down are when she stands and sits up she doesn't feel like she is going to pass out anymore, that one is good. She was having issues with her pancreas but that all went back to normal before she was released from the hospital. She cannot walk by herself at all, her whole body shakes and her left leg is harder to control and move now. She didn't have a stroke or a heart attack, the doctor said that she has one of the strongest hearts that he has ever seen. She didn't have any blood clots, she brain was functioning properly, her lungs were never filled with liquid. She does still get short winded and her body is completely exhausted all the time. She has to have a wheelchair and a walker when she is trying to walk. Doing physical things makes her shakes worse. She has a harder time speaking when her body is shaking. Her stomach has gone to crap, literally. Her whole upper torso gets on fire and tingles, that comes and goes when it wants to. She has to take Protonix and nausea medications around the clock. She is pretty much on all liquids. Yesterday and today she tried eating fruit because she is physically hungry. Her body isn't tolerating food and going to the bathroom just hurts and when she has to go she has diarrhea the whole time. She can drink and everything but if she doesn't have the nausea medicine she is non-stop throwing up and dry heaving. Her headache doesn't give and she has all over fatigue. When she is grabbing things with her hands to grip, it is hard and she starts shaking even when grabbing a cup. She uses a cup with a lid because when she is trying to grab it she shakes when she tries to drink. She could be relaxed and her whole body shakes. She gets brain fog, not all the time but she does sometimes. It's hard and it's hard to talk about, it is heart breaking. In the hospital it was hard, coming home it was hard. To realize you can't just get up and go fix it and help your kids and you have to have someone help you to get up or have to have someone pick you up and take you into another room. Caller confirms that she was admitted inpatient. She was taken into the emergency room and had all kinds of different doctors and they asked questions and monitored her and then by the evening they had told her that they were waiting on a room for her because they were admitting her. By the end of that night, between 8:00 and 11:00 she was put into a room and was admitted to the hospital. She was there with lots of doctors and she has bruises all over her hands, arms and her abdomen. She had lots of scans, ultrasounds and lots of tests and blood work. She had all kinds of different things performed for her and pretty much the only thing that they could definitely tell her is that she had a severe reaction to the shot. Caller states that these side effects began on 04Nov2021, she was admitted that same night 04Nov2021, and she believes that she was discharged 10Nov2021. Inquired for outcome and she says that the only thing that has gotten better is not wanting to pass out and the headache is not as severe as it was the first few days, but everything else is the same. She is thankful that she hasn't gotten any new symptoms but everything has been the same instead of it getting worse or having any new symptoms. No organs are affected but it's a lot going on. Her husband had the Pfizer vaccine too and he had no reactions. This is the first time that she has ever had a reaction to any vaccine. The patient wonder what information can give me about what Pfizer is doing about people like me who are not able to work or provide, what answers do you have and I'm I permanently going to be like this. They couldn't tell her how long her symptoms would last, they couldn't tell her if this was going to be permanent or not permanent, they said it was just a learning thing and everyone is trying to figure it out. She has to just go day by day and have doctors appointments, physical therapy and everything else and fully work through it is essentially what it all rounded up to be. She has never had anything like this. She had walked in perfectly healthy before this, she was perfectly fine. She was training multiple people daily and she never had any issues other than the obvious of getting sore and tired but that was it. She is fully active, she goes on mission trips, she kayaks more than 30 miles, she bikes, she skate, she runs, well she did before this. Reviewed side effects that have been recorded during the clinical trials and after the release to the public.Also informed caller that unexpected and serious side effects may occur, in addition:COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you from getting COVID-19. You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection. These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. Some people have no side effects. Serious side effects that could cause a long-term health problem are extremely unlikely following any vaccination, including COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccine monitoring has historically shown that side effects generally happen within six weeks of receiving a vaccine dose. For this reason, the FDA required each of the authorized COVID-19 vaccines to be studied for at least two months (eight weeks) after the final dose."
