Medical history included ongoing high cholesterol. She had been doing stair master for an hour each day. In 2020, when the Covid 19 virus was new she had a dinner with friends before they quarantined and one of those friends contracted the Covid 19 virus and died. Patients concomitant medications included atorvastatin (LIPITOR) for high cholesterol (lab value 225 units unspecified), twice a day (taking it more than that causes her back pain and sciatic pain). Patient had undergone lab test on unspecified date for Blood cholesterol and resulted as 225. Historical vaccine included flu vaccine on an unspecified date in 2014 with that she had that tightness and was told to drink a lot of hot tea and it worked and first dose of BNT162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot number was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration in the left arm on an unspecified date as 1st dose, single dose for COVID-19 immunization over which she just had a sore arm. After the second dose of the vaccine on 01Jun2021, she had some symptoms. She was wondering if there is anything she can do to prevent her symptoms.

She called her eye doctor and he suggested that she should call Pfizer to see if it had been reported. She enquired if anything she could do before going to see an eye doctor. She wanted to know if eye twitching was reported with the Pfizer COVID vaccine. She mentioned that her friend (69-year-old female) went blind for two weeks after receiving the COVID vaccine. Although, her vision came back but she did lose it for two weeks. She has also experienced her gums in her mouth at the top and bottom looking as if they were bleeding but they were not they are just really red since 10Jun2021. She massaged her gums with turmeric liquid. Her gums had been swollen and super, super red. It was not excruciating pain and it had been hurting when she would eat. She wanted to know if she was at risk of losing her teeth and if this has been reported before and if there is anything she can do for her gums.
