The patient's medical history included seizure, blood pressure, blood cholesterol, pain for her back and neck as she had surgeries that she broke her neck a few years back and her back what it boils down it was had no cartilage in her back or neck and her bones are rubbing and they are trying to get that all straightened out, asthma and rash.

The patient stated that she tried different soaps for rashes and then got that cream and it was a miracle for her. The patient stated that she started using it in her early 20's. Patient did not receive other vaccine in four weeks of vaccination. No adverse event following prior vaccinations. No additional vaccines administered on same date of suspect. The patient stated that when she got the 2nd dose in her other arm it was left side pain. She had the 1st dose in her left arm on 07May2021 and that that arm was still sore, and the 2nd dose was in her right arm on 27May2021, and that arm was not sore. On 09May2021, patient got sharp lightening pains in her right side and had gotten the shot in her left arm. On an unspecified date after 2nd dose in her other arm it was left side pain. Patient state that after receiving both doses of her Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine she has experienced sharp pains in her arms radiating down to the back of her legs. Left arm was where the shot was received the first dose and then she had right sided arm pain that radiated down the back of her leg. Patient describes the pains as shooting pains that are lightening sharp, quick pains that come and go. Patient got the 2nd shot in her right arm and she is now having left sided shooting pains as she was experiencing before with the 1st shot. Patient had only thing with the 1st shot was the shooting pain from her arm to the back of her leg and it sometimes would stop in the hip area and start in the hip to her leg or her arm and into behind her leg. Patient wasn't having that issue at first, that she has pain but not that kind of pain. Patient was very curious as she has high risk and has health issues and has pain but never that type of pain and it goes through her body quick and comes and goes. She said to do the 2nd shot in her other arm and experienced left side pain, would go away and come back and catch her off guard out of the blue, it would go through her body. The patient stated that it was not on the other side at the same time and she never knows when it was coming, that there was no warning. Patient can't say as it has happened maybe 7 times so far since the 1st shot and she can't tell if it was improving or not as it just comes out of the blue and happens. Cholesterol medication was changed, and she thinks the reason they changed her medication was that every time she would go in it was like her pressure was not going down and it was at stroke level and had to get it down. The patient stated that it was down to 176 which was good for her and she was close to 200 or past that, it was 199 over something or 188 and it was bad. The patient stated that her doctor told her look the last 10 time you have come in your pressure has been high and to try something different and it was working. Patient state that the doctor changed both her cholesterol and blood pressure medications, the patient stated that that the first medication she listed was given for blood pressure, but they gave it to her for pain and the patient told her provider it has her knocked out and she was like just keep taking it until it's in system and that changes. The patient relays she wanted to sleep and couldn't do nothing as she was not herself and she doesn't like how it makes her feel and to get it in her system. The patient stated that she has never been high or drunk, but she didn't feel normal. The patient stated that she would take the medication and turn her phone down. She takes 2 different pumps for the asthma of salbutamol (ALBUTEROL) and formoterol fumarate, mometasone furoate (DULERA), supposed to take 2 puffs twice a day and wants her to use them every day but one of them if she uses it like that it makes her dizzy, so she uses it when she needs it with shortness of breath or something like that. She uses them together. If she gets short of breath, she grabs one and uses it and if she gets no relief, she uses the other to kick it in, that it sometimes makes her dizzy. She uses the albuterol and only uses the other one if it doesn't work. Since she got the shot, she has not had a reason to use it as she had not had an asthma attack. she has been using this since she found out she had asthma and it has been over 20 years.
