Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of gait inability, illness, fatigue, nausea, muscular weakness, sensory loss, dysarthria, contusion.  Clinical course: Patient was doing well until she became sick with COVID 19 in Jun2022. She took Paxlovid. She got her new COVID booster and Flu vaccine on 03Oct2022. Since then, she has been sick. She feels fatigue; her neck and back feel weak. She was house bound, and often bed bound. She was only able to sit in her chair for about 2 hours at a time. Not able to do much except to read, though even that is difficult. Talking and chewing made her feel nauseous. She felt like she can't do anything. She never lost her sense of taste or smell. She got a new wheelchair from 3 months ago. She stated they did not teach her how to control her wheelchair and use all of the features. She did undergo a seating evaluation prior to the delivery of the chair. She noted that she was sitting unevenly in the chair and that her arm got bruised. She was unable to lower the footrest due to it abutting on the front wheels of the chair. She can't be in the wheelchair for a long period of time because it was not comfortable for her. She reported that she had to go to bed about every 2 hours because she can't stay in her chair for long. She can walk 5-10 feet in her house, but then she started having starts having spasms. She used her chair in her house most of the time. She stated that she can no longer exercise due to her current condition. She was not currently comfortable going to the pool. She believed that she does not have good sensation in her legs. She had a cat that sleeps her legs, and she sometimes can't feel it when her cat was on her legs. She states that her hand needs to be in a particular position, otherwise it feels like a strain. She believes that she was hypersensitive. She stated that talking and singing are difficult for her now, but she has no trouble typing. The patient sits in her chair poorly. The chair was too narrow. Her legs were too high in the chair and the seat does not support her thighs. She was leaning to the right and nearly falling out of the chair on the right. The arm rests are too short. The joystick was misplaced. Patient provided information regarding the adverse event with the use of the product. The Pfizer product had a causal effect to the adverse event.
