Clinical narrative: Within 20 minutes after the vaccine, I got heavy feeling in chest and that is a sign for me that my asthma is having issues. So I used two puffs of my albuterol inhaler. So then I talked to the nurse and told her I was having asthma symptoms. She wanted me to wait a little longer. I left about 40 minutes after the vaccine. I left to go home because I was feeling better. On the way home, I noticed my lips starting to swell and I didn't feel good. I took 10mg of Zyrtec when I got home and I took 40mg of Pepcid and then I felt a little better and I had to go to work and I'm a HCP. Later in the afternoon, my throat was itching. I called my primary care doctor and got an appt for Wednesday morning. I didn't feel good the rest of the day. I came home and was using my inhaler every four hours. I took 50mg of prednisone which is my rescue dose that they leave for me. I went to bed. My lips were still tingling and swelling. I got up the next morning, and I used my inhaler. I went to doctor and doctor said I was wheezing and I haven't wheezed in years. He prescribed me more prednisone and I went home and felt really horrible the rest of the day. My lips felt like they were swelling for the next 14 days. I was on a prednisone taper. I had to start using my Flovent inhaler. After that I had to use my nebulizer for a few days. I felt bad for 14 days plus. It really messed up my asthma bad. In February (about two weeks after the vaccine when I got my Adderall refilled I told my doctor that my heart was beating rapidly) I had a problem with my heart beating rapidly for two months after that. I had to go back to doctor and had two more doctor visits because of that. I had some pineapple about a month and a half ago and it made my lips swell up for three days afterwards and it flared my asthma which it has never done in the past. Usually (before vaccine) I could eat up to 5 or 6 pieces before it caused an allergy issue. This time it was about two pieces of pineapple and I got this reaction. I have never had that happen before. In April or May, I was having breast pain on the left side of my body. Last night it started hurting a little but by the end of May and beginning of June, I thought it was pretty much gone. The pain in the breast was painful to the touch and really tender and it was only on the left side of my body. It was really weird. A couple of weeks ago, I talked to co-workers and they said they had lumps in their breast too after the Moderna vaccine. I have an infection, an abscess in my navel area. I have never had one before. That started in April, I noticed it was swelling. I was watching it. May I went to the doctor for it. They cultured it and nothing came back but yet it was getting redder. And so I saw my primary care doctor, they gave me cephalexin for it. It's better but I need to go back and see him again and probably get more antibiotic. I have been using Bactroban ointment for it. Note: I refused to go to the ER because I'm a HCP. I saw that a week or two after I had the COVID vaccine, they recalled doses for adverse reactions.
