Clinical narrative: DAY ONE  April 15, 2021. On Thursday April 15th at 10:00 a.m. I received the first dose of the Covid 19 vaccine.   They gave me the shot in my left arm.  Within about 5 seconds, I started feeling nauseated and light headed like I was going to pass out.  I asked to just sit there for awhile because I did not feel stable to stand up and go to the waiting area.  I stayed seated for about 1-2 more minutes then the paramedics took me to the Medical area in a wheelchair.    The paramedics checked my vitals.  My blood pressure was 135 over ?? I don't remember.  I told the medic my BP is normally 98/58.   She said my BP was elevated.   My pulse was in the high 80's.  My temperature was 98.6 and my oxygen was 100.  I started getting pain and pressure going up the back of my neck, into my head, eyes and ears.  It was very painful and throbbing pressure.  I felt dizzy and really high.   It felt like I was floating on the top of the ceiling and the people were off in a distance.  I was really woozy.    I then got diarrhea.   The nausea continued but I did not throw up.  At times my thinking was spacey, so I talked to the paramedic to help me stay grounded.  I narrated what was happening in my body.  They did a glucose finger prick test because of my spaceyness, but it was normal.   It was like my whole system was freaking out.  I was there and then not there, feeling like I was floating.    These symptoms continued for about 90 minutes and getting worse.  The paramedics offered me to go to the hospital, but I thought eventually I would be fine.  I did not want to go to the hospital and have a huge medical bill.   At around 90 minutes, I started having pain in my heart left side, under my left breast on my left shoulder.  The paramedics did an EKG and did not find anything but some irregular heartbeats.  The heart beats felt like BA BOOM, then my heart would do a cartwheel.  BA BOOM and another cartwheel.    At this time, my husband arrived and took me to the hospital emergency room because the pain in my heart was getting worse.  I stayed in the hospital emergency room until around 5:00pm on April 15th. They did another EKG and some lab work and did not find anything but low thyroid.  I continued to feel drunk, nauseated, pain pressure and throbbing in my head neck, ears and eyes, diarrhea, and like I was High and going to pass out.    The chest pain in my heart was off and on.  It felt like muscle cramping in my heart, under my left breast and the left shoulder.  I also got a pain in my left groin area, then behind my left knee.  It was a sharp and throbbing pain for about an hour in each location, but eventually went away.    While in the Emergency room, they tried to give me Ativan.  I asked what it was for and they said Anxiety.  I said I wasn't anxious; I was just having a reaction to my first Covid 19 vaccine.  I said I did not want it because my body was already struggling to handle the Covid 19 vaccine.  They said the doctor prescribed it.  I said I had not seen a doctor, and they said it is protocol.  The nurse then came in and wanted to give me a shot for nausea and I said no, I don't want any more chemicals in my body, it is really having a hard time already with the Covid vaccine.    I went home, was wiped out, still feeling drunk/woozy/high, also nauseated, diarrhea, very dizzy, had a hard time walking.  The pain, throbbing in my head, neck, ears and eyes was still there.  By this time, I could not find clear thoughts, and could not make sense of things.   I was very agitated and at the same time exhausted and only wanted to sleep.    DAY TWO April 16, 2021 I woke up with a smashing head ache, neck ache, back ache and general feeling like Crap.  The nausea and diarrhea were still there and had woken me in the middle of the night.   I felt like a truck had hit me.  I stayed in bed all day and tried to eat and drink as much as I could.  I drank a lot of water that day.  I felt horrible, but was able to stand without feeling like I was going to fall over.  Had trouble finding clear thoughts at times.  Still felt out of it and had chest pain off and on.  Also had the BA BOOM heart beats and cartwheels in my heart.    DAY THREE  April 17, 2021 Very similar to day two.  I felt weak, nauseated, diarrhea, pain all over, jittery, not able to have clear thoughts at times.   It felt like my body was still on RED ALERT!!!    I also had very shallow breathing on day  2, 3, 4 and 5.  It tired me and I panted just getting up to go to the restroom.  I am able to eat fine and keep food down.  BA BOOM hear beats and cartwheels in my heart have lessened.    DAY FOUR April 18, 2021 I felt a little better and made the mistake of thinking I was getting over the reactions and did too much.  Shortness of breath.   DAY FIVE April 19, 2021 I feel horrible again, Nausea is really strong as well as the diarrhea.  I am feverish, sweaty and shaky.  Shortness of Breath. Tight in my chest. I just took my temperature and it is normal, although I am hot, sweaty, feel feverish and shaky.  I am exhausted.  The headache is still here as well as the pains in my neck, ears and eyes.   The aches in my body are still here.  I have no energy.  A wave of emotions is also here and I am weepy and crying.    This is no fun.   I am able to eat food OK and drink lots of water to counteract the diarrhea.    DAY SIX April 20, 2021 Shortness of breath, very tight in my chest, having to take Benadryl and use my rescue inhaler to keep my breathing open.   Feverish, chills, shakey, hot.   Temperature 97.0   Blood pressure 90/66 Pulse 70.  I feel like crap, just wiped out.
