On 29-Jan-2021, on same day patient started to experience the sensation of pens and needles tingling at the injection site (vaccination site paraesthesia). As the day progressed and throughout the rest of that day, she continued to have the pens and needles tingling that eventually started to pass into her entire right arm (paraesthesia). After about 2 weeks of these symptoms, the pens and needles tingling continued in her right arm and then moved to her right leg (paraesthesia). The right arm and leg symptoms continued, then. after a few hours, the sensation would go away and return, this continued from around 13-Feb-2021 into the following week. The sensation would return during the night as she would wake up in the middle of the right with the pens and needles tingling sensation (middle insomnia).
