Still going on, Caller states she would go to sleep and wake up with bruises on her arms, her face. Caller stated she looked and googled the vaccine to see if this could possibly happen and they have reported cases of this immune disorder. the following day she woke up, and she has chubby cheeks, and her cheeks were all bruised so it wasn't about thinning skin. Caller stated its about something very irregular that's going on and although what's happening to her is not, she feels its severe, its bad to go sleeveless with bruises all over her but she's not covered like somebody with the measles, its not like that, but she gets like a fist full of bruises in one area at a time just from sleeping on her pillow, on her bed, and waking up. Caller states it's very unnatural. Caller states it started at least a month after the last shot because this hasn't been going on that long, she can't say that. Caller states it's still every day, for the last few weeks it's been going on. Caller states it's been going on at least 5 or more weeks she would say. Caller states it absolutely started in March and she didn't even think of the connection because most people get symptoms a few days afterwards and all she got was a sore arm, it happened out of the blue and she just connected that it could be a cause. Caller states she thinks by the 7th, that's when she was considered fully okay.
