Clinical narrative: Symptoms, most severe to least:  Seizure (non-epileptic):   3:05-3-45pm, May 12th, 2021 2:55-3:25am, May 15th, 2021 Approx 1-2pm, May 27th, 2021 4:45-5:20, June 6th, 2021  These are a half-hour+ of jerking (arms and legs) many times a minute, back arching, muscle locks, and muscle spasms. I retain consciousness and control between jerks, usually, though they are very painful and exhausting.   Note: I do have a medical history of Tourette?s, so these non-epileptic seizures are not new to me, and are generally manageable at home with hydration and safety practices unless they last more than a few hours. But I hadn?t had any in a couple years prior to the shot, as they are far more rare than they were a decade ago.  Weakness (cannot walk or stand unsupported, cannot lift heavy (and sometimes even light) objects, wobbly legs, shaky arms, etc.) 2:50pm, May 12th to present  This weakness rapidly increased from wobbly legs in the waiting room to unable to walk on my own or stand unsupported. It was extremely bad the first few days, then from May 17th seemed to slowly get a bit better day by day as I could walk a few steps and lift a jug of milk, then relapsed and has varied in terms of how extreme it is day by day. Currently I am using a walker to get around the house, except on days where I am too weak for that and have to stay mostly in bed.   Weakness on evening of Jun 1st was so bad that my head felt like a bowling ball I was trying to balance, and I could not hold my head up unassisted as it would fall forward, backward, or to the side. I went to bed early (7:30 about) and in the morning I could move my head again normally.  Lots of falls and partial falls (Often body ?locks down? after a fall and I cannot move my legs, and sometimes arms, to get up again unassisted, so I?ve been on the floor 5+ minutes.) Most falls from standing or walking position, but a few have been from sitting or kneeling. Some of these feel like legs or back giving out due to weakness, others feel like my legs or back just stopped working right.  Dizzines:  2:45pm, May 12th to Evening May 14th  It?s been on/off since, but has mostly cleared up.  Severe Fatigue: 3:00pm, May 12th to present Very tired, need a lot of extra sleep, hard to focus on things. Even climbing stairs or walking a bit with the walker can be exhausting and I need a long break of sitting to recuperate. Some days am so weak and tired I have to stay in bed, and can?t get much done. Pain: May 12th to present. It increases with activity and sometimes at night in back/right hip/left wrist especially. Left wrist is the most severe in persistence ? it will often buckle in pain if I try to support myself with it or catch myself from a fall with it. Pain in my right leg was also so bad the night of the 13th it was difficult to sleep. My spine, left wrist, and right hip/pelvis seem to have the worst on/off pain, though my back and legs often ache a lot in the early morning.  ?Glitchy? muscles: May 12th to present, worsening. Goes along with the weakness, but it feels like a muscle (especially legs) will glitch out and not work right. This slowly got worse for about a week after the shot, and has been pretty bad since. While sometimes the glitching causes my legs to buckle or I?ll drop something because my hand releases, it more commonly is just weird things like my legs and feet turning sideways or pointing weird.  Minor to moderate stabby headache:  2:50pm 12th to present, intermittent, managed by Tylenol. It was worse the first week after, but now seems to be every few days.  Earaches:  ~May 17th  to present. On and off, often accompany headaches - every few days. Both ears, sometimes just right.   Sore arm: From injection around 2:40pm May 12th to morning of the 14th There are spots in the upper left arm which are still sore when pressed. As mentioned under the pain section, my left wrist still hurts immensely when weight is put on it.  Minor Fever (estimate 99-100 degrees max) and/or Hot/Cold flashes:  Had chills and low fevers? It seemed on and off for a few days after the vaccine, so more than just recorded.   Night of the 12th, broke around 2am on the 13th Night of the 14th, broke around 2:45am on the 15th Afternoon of the 15th, broke around 6pm  June 9th, some of the day on and off   Abdominal Cramps & nasuea: 12th-14th (not on period or pregnant at that time.)  Bowl issues: Mild Diarrhea for a couple of weeks after the shot. It also was more difficult to go pee/empty my bladder, as muscles seemed week and it could take 20 minutes to empty my bladder incrementally. I also had some minor leaking. This cleared up, though, no current bowl issues.  Shortness of breath:  Mild shortness of breath after the shot for a couple days where I could not speak at extra volume, read aloud or talk for a length of time, or take ?deep? breaths. This has mostly resolved though sometimes I will briefly get a little short of breath.  Muscle twitching and jerks: Since childhood. Since May 12th it has been worse than in the past few years, though. Started calming down a bit about June 10th.  Brain fog: For about a month after the shot, it was really hard to focus or keep on top of things. It got to the point my kids would literally move my head towards them and say, "mommy, you aren't listening!" to get my attention, and my sister and others also complained that I wasn't focusing on them. It was really hard to manage paperwork and arranging doctors as well.
