Clinical narrative: On Thu, Mar 11, 2021, 6:18 PM patient wrote: I have had an allergic reaction to this vaccine. I felt like crap afterwards and stayed the full 30 minutes too. I had thought maybe it was anxiety, but I've broken out all over in hives and I can barely talk now due to how hoarse my throat is. I felt off very quickly post vax and like I was drunk or something after my injection. I have had a high pulse, palpitations, bad headache, jitters, lightheaded/ dizziness, nausea, vomiting, feeling like I have to constantly swallow (and do), and other post vax issues. I have felt very out of it and overall very cruddy.    I hope you'll respond to this email so that I know it gets reported.  I have taken a lot benadryl and have an EpiPen handy if I ended up needing it. My mouth has been fine, but not my throat.. but it isn't closing up so I think it's okay for it to just be swollen. I have had so much going on post vax that I've literally just been laying in bed hoping I'll feel better.   03/12/2021 The hives have come back and the itching hasn't ever stopped, my tongue is still super swollen and sore from me constantly accidentally biting it, my throat is still red, swollen, and sore, and I generally feel like crap. I'm taking a ton of antihistamines to combat this and they're not touching it. I am probably going to need more steroids and a visit to urgent care tomorrow.  :(  03/13/2021  The email is too large with the new pics and it got kicked back...trying again minus the body hive pics.   The hives just keep spreading  :( . I know you can't see them all because the lighting isn't great, but you can make out the outlines of the welts like on my forehead. I have hives all over my face, throat, neck, chest, arms, and more every day. My whole body is very itchy even in areas without hives.    I am still dealing with: hives/ itchiness, stomach issues, tongue, throat, headache, etc.   I am taking zyrtec twice a day, 50 mg benadryl every 8 hours, a prednisone pack, and a pepcid twice a day. I have my h1, h2, and h3 categories covered along with steroids onboard which is my allergic reaction regimen protocol from my allergist.  I also have my asthma meds which helps with allergies. Unfortunately it isn't working to keep it from spreading/ continuing or to even keep it at bay. I am trying to hang out until Monday morning for my allergist's office to open and see if I can get an appt or help via meds called in.   I've never had this before in my life! One big bad reaction and then it goes away, not this long dragged out big reaction.  This is crazy!   I figure you probably need this info for the CDC VAERS report, I'm sorry if you didn't!  Show quoted text 03/14/2021 The hives are even on my feet now ( my whole body either has hives or is itchy). I feel like absolute hell and I am completely regretting this.????  Here I thought the moderna would of been safe for allergic people. I have all of these allergy meds too and nothing is helping, but I'm going to call my doctors first thing when they open and try to get seen tomorrow or at least Tuesday with my allergist.    This is all just so crazy to me! I have had all of my vaccines with no problems too, last one was my tetanus shot and that was within the last 2 years... not one single problem with the exception of injection site soreness for a day.  03/15/2021 I am still going strong with the hives and now I have pneumonia, which I have never had before in my life. :(  The doctor gave me a Z pack, but I can't take it until after I see the allergist tomorrow and that's if he says it is safe for me to do so. She is worried it would cause another anaphylactic reaction. We are also worried about the 1 week delayed allergic reaction that people are having now and what that will mean for me when I'm already bad off.    Allergist appt is tomorrow at 245pm.  03/17/2021 I'm sorry I didn't update.  I'm still dealing with hives, but they're getting better. I am still dealing with the heart arrhythmias pretty hard. They are not pleasant to say the least and I am still feeling really wiped out. I am dealing with PVCs for the most part today and some others that I'm not sure what they're called (like I don't know if it's a PAC, PVT, but I do know I've had V-tach and PVCs going on).    Hopefully it will get better soon, I'm so over all of this and have things I need to get done LOL!  03/20/21 I am on a 2 week heart monitor now due to the heart issues I've been having post vax. I just saw a fb post from a friend and she's having the same problems after hers. I never posted about the heart issues with mine either and correlation doesnt equal causation of course, but this is interesting and may be of concern so I'm passing it along. The hives are finally gone minus the "moderna arm."  03/21/20 Dude... this rash started up a tiny bit friday, a little more then went away Saturday, and now it's coming back in full force! I'm still taking allergy meds too! This is just crazy!
