When she got a flu shot her arm would be sore when she moved it. Her last flu shot(Infs Fluarix Quadrivalent) was on 24Sep2020 at his 67-year-old. she usually didn't have issues with vaccines but she was going to make herself wait the 30 minutes due to her weird reactions. She had a lot of weird reactions to medications and always had to wait 30 minutes for Penicillin and sulfa. Penicillin put her in a coma for two days when she was 7 years old. She has never had penicillin since then. with Sulfa she got an immediate rash and itching but that was 20 years ago. She couldn't take pain killers and lots of other medications including clindamycin; Neurontin; gabapentin; carbamazepine; endocet; metoprolol; tamalor. The pain medication issue happened in 2003 and the metoprolol issue happened in 2008. Ongoing concomitant medication included aloe vera for hot flashes and GERD, acetylsalicylic acid (ASPIRIN) for high cholesterol and heart, biotin for hair, cod liver oil to clear her lungs(like a heart supplement), famotidine for GERD, chondroitin sulfate sodium/glucosamine (GLUCOSAMINE AND CHONDROITIN) for arthritis in hip and knee, lansoprazole for GERD, latanoprost for eyes, lovastatin for blood cholesterol, xantofyl (LUTEIN) for eyes , zeaxanthin from 21Jan2021 for eyes and multivitamins(women over 50) for supplement.  On 20Jan2021, the patient experienced a mild allergic reaction to the vaccine, only had a mild reaction, she had a mask on and when she got in the car and took off the mask, her face felt warm; Her reaction(face getting warm) was similar to what she experiences with a cortisone shot and dexamethasone before. The face feeling warm happened about 35 minutes after the vaccine(20Jan2021 14:40), then she got home and her face got even hotter; her scalp started to itch, it was really itchy; her eyes started to itch and then the scalp itchiness moved to the back of her neck down the middle of her back for about 2 hours. All of the itchiness went away after about three hours or 17:00PM on 20Jan2021; then a little bit of the scalp itching came back for about 45 minutes and then went away. All of the itching has been gone since evening on 20Jan2021. Later that night on 20Jan2021, she noticed she had a little bit of arm soreness; it felt like a bruise; when she laid on it hurt. 21Jan2021 it had gone away, too.
