Additional information: Calling about Covid19 vaccine. She got the first dose 23Mar2021 and second dose 15Apr2021. A year ago. After getting those doses she was covered head to toe with tiny little blisters that were similar to shingles or chicken pox. Went to dermatologist to get medication for blisters and the dermatologist can't provide any cream that is effective in curing that. Even until today she still has blisters. She wants to get compensation from Pfizer. She is miserable. She burns and itches. It stings. Her arms look like she has been in a fire. She had been out going and athletic and a teacher of aerobics and a supervisor with the city. She was a person that would stand on stage and introduce other. She has had such a lack of energy and disappointment in how she reacted to the vaccine in her opinion. She can't think of anything else that would bring on such welts and blistering feelings. She is 59 now and would have been 57 then. She never had anything before. She would be outside and enjoy and now can't hardly walk her dog without literally in 10 minutes feeling blistery and rashed where she has to put wash cloths under her breast to get back to the car to rest. She has been to four dermatologist and one did take the initiative to report it to the CDC. Caller is in a journal for. Granuloma is the lesion and Angular is the cluster of skin that is built up like the thickness. She has Granuloma Angular had 4 biopsies. Caller got them as soon as they said they were available for 50 and older. The years run together. First and second dose were done in (withheld). She has 2 doctors that are working with her right now. Also would like to list her allergist. The person she works with right now gives her attention and has done extra blood work and done biopsies. Caller is seeing the head director of the group now. The group is called (withheld). The head director is Dr. (Name withheld). He is the main guy and put caller on a new medicine for 8 weeks. Caller did blood work recently with him and he did two biopsies. Caller will follow up with him this week and will do blood in 2 weeks. Caller will go back to see him to see if the oral is helping. When caller was in the hospital the dermatologist that she saw said she had eczema, which is a joke. People are saying this is not eczema. Concomitant Medications: caller is Bipolar and manic depressive. She is on disability for scoliosis and sciatica and that creates depression. She is on depression medication. She is on antidepressant and antianxiety. Through the allergist caller is on allergy pills that she takes as needed. Caller was in restaurant business and would get hives from the heat in (Place name withheld). That would be it. Basically antidepressant and anxiety meds. Allergy pills are as needed throughout the year because (Place name withheld) is blooming every day. She had been on those medications for 7 years. She has been on disability for 7 years due to lower back issues due to sports injury and curvature of spine as she got older. Caller also takes thyroid medication. She goes to the doctor tomorrow for blood work for thyroid. Caller has been on thyroid medication for 5 years. She has no new lotion, hair products or anything. Medical Conditions: she did see the psychiatrist as needed for meds. Caller didn't get shingles shot and she won't because she is not supposed to with Dupixent. Caller had never been in the hospital before. She has no children. She gets flu shot yearly but did not get flu shot this year. She took care of her neighbor that was 100 years old and they brought in a hospice bed. Caller had been around hospice environment and got staph in her toe nails, like a fungus. That is the only thing that caller can think of. It was a couple of blisters and fungus. Caller blames that on the hospice bed. You never know what you will pick up. Her neighbor died in 2017 so that would have been 5 years ago, so prior to getting Covid19 vaccines. Right after biopsy they were saying she had Granuloma Angular. That felt like measles, chicken pox, and shingles from head to toe. She had to go to the eye doctor. They put her on Hydroxychloroquine starting in Jul through Oct, for 4 months. Took 400 mg per day to aggressively try and contain the Granuloma Angular. Took Hydroxychloroquine along with prednisone 10ml that she had to taper off. Caller doesn't have NDC/LOT/EXP to provide for Hydroxychloroquine or Prednisone. The products came from pharmacy. It was aggressive because it was such a burning situation. With Hydroxychloroquine and Prednisone the results of quitting those medication she had purpula which is thinning of the skin on the legs that created those purple dark red blotches that people get when they hit the side of a desk or bed or end of the table when 85 years old. Her skin got extremely thin as a result of getting Prednisone as a result of Granuloma Angular in her opinion from the Pfizer Covid19 vaccine. Caller had to wrap her legs and elevate them and put cold packs on them from Oct through Jan. The Hydroxychloroquine is what caused her arm because supposedly Hydroxychloroquine causes eczema. The one doctor said it was eczema and the other said Granuloma Angular. Caller was in hospital looking like she had leprosy and was contained in the emergency room because there were no beds in hospital due to Covid. She slept because she couldn't stand the itching and they gave her Benadryl. Three antibiotics didn't do it. They gave her Norco because she had headaches. They also put her on Clobetasol which is like a topical ointment. It is not a steroid. No steroids. Caller can't do any of them now because the itching is so bad. Also was on Mupirocin ointment which is like an antibiotic ointment when a sore would open. It is an ointment for open wounds. Mupirocin Ointment was like a Neosporin. The Clobetasol was to be rubbed on the thickness of the clubs of skin. Then they put her on Triamcinolone Ointment that didn't work. Mupirocin: NDC: 68462-180-22; LOT: 19227047; EXP: Feb2024; strength: 2%. Caller clarified that it burned. Caller doesn't use anything anymore. She walks her dog lays in bed naked and then walks dog. That is all she does. Caller clarified the three antibiotics that didn't do it were given in the hospital through the IV and none of them worked. No further details provided about the antibiotics. Her sciatic hurts so she knows it will storm. Triamcinolone Ointment: NDC: 45802-055-05; LOT: 1JT0348; EXP: Aug2023. Strength: 0.1%. It is a step down from Clobetasol. Clobetasol was a little bit stronger. Also was given Eucerin and CeraVe and has patches. They gave her samples and she bought CeraVe over the counter. Also has SSD which was for open sore. It is a sateen cream. 1% Silver Sulfadiazine Cream. LOT: hard to read because she used it with her fingers around it. She has her glasses and has a light on. She has to get flashlight out. The lot looks like L100517. She feels like she is in an eye exam. EXP: she can barely see it, looks like May2024. She has tried two more that burned so bad from inside out that she had to get prescribed another allergy pill. Clobetasol: it was a tube. Strength: .05 ointment. She quit using everything. Clobetasol was the aggressive ointment. It was the original cream that she would use as soon as she would get out of the shower. It worked with the Hydroxychloroquine and the Prednisone. It started burning then they switched her to Triamcinolone and then the sateen and then the Mupirocin. Recently came form Dr. (Name withheld) because this thing is just growing up her back and up shoulder blades and neck line. Two more things they prescribed. Fluocinonide topical solution, strength .05%, apply once a day before noon. Fluocinonide kind of comes out like watery but goes on dry. It burned like heck. It said it would burn. After a couple of times she couldn't do it. Fluocinonide: LOT: AC49056; EXP: Feb2024; NDC: 516721273-4.. She thinks she used Fluocinonide twice. It burned so bad. At night she is supposed to use the one that is oily and more of an ointment, Tacrolimus Ointment, strength .1%. She did it a couple of times and it burned. Tacrolimus Ointment: LOT: LW1017; EXP: Aug2023; NDC: 0168-0416-99. After she took Fluocinonide and Tacrolimus Ointment she was burning from inside out and they prescribed her Hydroxyzine HCl 25mg twice a day. Hydroxyzine HCL: NDC/LOT/EXP: unknown as product is in pharmacy vial. The brand new one that Dr. (Name withheld) prescribed for 8 weeks is a prescription from the pharmacy. It is Dapsone Tablets USP 100mg once a day, LOT: M20215A, EXP: Aug2023, NDC: 70954-136-10. She has started Dapsone to see if it will slow down the thickening. She can feel it. If she doesn't put on CeraVe her skin is like a snake it burns and itches. For compensation she is looking more for time because her copays weren't that bad. A whole year and a half beyond Covid was her sitting in bed trying to keep cool. That is more of the mental and depressive results she got from that reaction.
