Patient stated that she received her second dose on 19Mar2021 and she said that one would think that things would clear up and be okay but she's had a runny nose since about a week after the first dose of the vaccine. She was reluctant to get the second dose because she continued to have a runny nose, almost every day, all day long, sometimes it's worse, sometimes it's better. Her friend was visiting and said that he too has had a runny nose, and he thought it was from wearing a mask, but she doesn't wear a mask, but she doesn't wear a mask, well she only wear them when she goes out and she's not out that much. She just read something that said you can be carrying COVID, even though you've had the vaccine, is that a possibility?.

Reported that patient stated that the runny nose has been happening for weeks. The runny nose comes and goes. Sometimes she thinks it's getting better and then it gets worse again. It's not like a side cold, she always has a little sniffle. It hadn't been bothering her the last couple hours and now it's started to well up and she's thinking what is this about? It started about a week after the first shot and definitely after the second shot. The runny nose is sometimes accompanied with earache and sore throat both of which continue to come and go. She doesn't know when the ear ache and sore throat started. They come and go quickly, and have happened maybe half a dozen times or more. Her husband would say it's just a cold and maybe it was. Reported that she gets a lot of inflammation, described as arthritic inflammation and this inflammation was worsened after the first vaccine. reported that this response happened about 4-5 hours later. She also complained of headache, and other symptoms and when asked to repeat the other symptoms she clarified as inflammation in whole body. reported that something new happened, she had fibrin buildup in her hands, she watched it grow on her hands, it was like a science fiction movie; that is still there. She's had fibrin before but never watched it happen. The buildup was itchy and she describes it as an inflammatory response. The fibrin buildup began that night after first dose of the vaccine. This started Friday night. Adds with the second dose her arm hurt. The caller does clarify that she felt fabulous after second dose, except her arm hurt. The fibrin and inflammation are still there, the only way it will go away is to have it cut out. That is how her body reacts. Patient reported that she fell on her knee and got a big bump and with further inquiry, this was prior to the vaccine. reported that she had some breathing issues after the first vaccine and was told that it wasn't anaphylaxis, it was probably swelling of her throat, but it didn't last. Reported that the second vaccine she didn't have any side effects except the arm hurt. In fact, she felt better than she does today, it put her in a good mood, it was like a happy pill. After the first vaccine she also had SVT in her heart, that night when she was having the inflammation, she remarks that she could feel her heart doing somersaults. The SVT began on the evening of the first vaccine and into the next day and into Sunday late afternoon. That was weird, she thought she was doing to die, she was not able to breathe, she was miserable, she thought to sleep it off, she was trying to get away from the headache, it was her whole head.
