This contactable consumer (patient) reported for herself that a 33-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) at the age of 33-years, via unspecified route of administration, administrated in left arm, for COVID-19 immunisation, first dose (lot number: ER8730, expiration date: 31Jul2021) on 29Mar2021 at 11:00 at 0.3 ml single, second dose (lot number: ER8735, expiration date: 30Jul2021) on 19Apr2021 approximately 11:00 at single dose. Medical history included she had allergy issues (normally around this time, when the season is going from hot to cold). No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). Concomitant medications were not reported. The patient stated that back in Mar2021 had real bad headache then it got worsen and worsen, then she lost vision in right eye from right eye to left eye and her right eye got real swelled, it went to the other side, she had issues with left eye and went to the doctor that what was going on with her eye and then it went with left eye now after her vision was altered if everything that was left to her came in front of her and now her arm one of the auto immune disease, she was waiting for the doctor to call back for her results but looking over it said she had an auto immune disease. Then stated that had the headache, the loss of vision throughout both of eyes but at different times, was having issues with eyes she did not have regular vision and eyesight anymore, change the direction of her eyes, her eyes were going outwards, then lack of vision in eyes. The patient also mentioned that she got the shot 29Mar2021. From that day, the headaches gradually increased, increased and increased. Starting in Apr2021, she started missing time off work due to the headaches. Did not remember the exact date in Apr2021, it was close to the middle, she started losing vision in her right eye and was having double vision, seeing black and white. In the midst of this, her eye had swollen up real big. Sometime in May, in her right eye, the vision started slowly coming back. It went from the right eye to the left eye. She couldn't see out of the eye. It was double and blurred vision. In Jun2021, the headaches started slowly decreasing. She took some different types of medication to try and get the headaches under control. Her right eye had been red now for about 2 weeks. In the midst of this, back in Apr2021, while at the doctor's, during an eye exam, her left eye would move but the right eye wouldn't move and she had redness. Before the redness in the right eye, she was trying to focus her right eye and it would throw her left eye. Her eyes were like cockeyed. When she looked straight ahead, in front of her, she was looking at her left eye which was off to the side. Her left eye sits in the corner of her left eye. Everything on the left side and with her vision being unbalanced, she did not have regular vision. Everything on the left side sits in front of her on the actual left side. She had lab work done and hadn't gotten the results and they hadn't been clarified by the doctor. She had ANA results with antibodies and they came back abnormal. The eye doctor and neurologist said she had to get another MRI done to figure out why her brain was not working with her eyes. All of this stuff started happening after she got the COVID shot. This had changed her life dramatically and she was depressed. The headaches were so bad, she thought about committing suicide. It was the worst time of her life and she had so much going on, just from getting the shot. She was driving basically blind just to get back and forth to work and home. She may trip and fall at work or have an accident. The person she spoke to previously was being impatient. Her vision was not accurate and it took a second longer than the average person, to wait for her eyes to zoom in and that good stuff. At this point, she wished she did not get it. She hadn't even caught COVID. Now she had this mysterious cockeyed and red eye and can barely see because of the headaches. The patient was given different medications to try and control the headaches, it was a whole lot of medications. They gave her sumatriptan succinate (ZEMBRACE SYMTOUCH) 3mg, which was supposed to help with headaches, verapamil 120mg as treatment for cluster headaches. They gave her allergy pills to take because they thought she was having a sinus infection, levocetirizine 5mg. For treatment of headaches, to treat migraines, they gave her propranolol ER 60mg. They gave her amitriptyline 25mg, which made her very sleepy. It was what the neurologist gave her. The neurologist gave her the following (took these maybe once over 2 days): topiramate 100mg and baclofen 10mg. She also took sumatriptan 50mg and ibuprofen 800mg for headaches. She was not a person who got sick, may have an allergy flare up. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures, which included she was taking MRI of brain on Sunday. On 01Jul2021, they checked her thyroid to make sure there were no issues; they checked ANA, ESR, TSH, T3, T4, antithyroid, peroxidase, antibodies, and states that she could not read the rest of the tests. AE(s) required a visit to emergency room (was when she got the first MRI, it was back in Apr2021 and she was not admitted) and physician office. Outcome of the events lost vision, auto immune disease, headache, eye swelling was not recovered/not resolved; while of remain was unknown.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
