She was too tired. She Stated that, she had severe covid in Oct and was expecting something different to happen than most people. She had checked in with her doctor via online messaging. She Stated her hands continued to turn red, at night they will swell up and throb so bad it wakes her up at night. She confirmed they hurt and keeps her up at times. She could feel they were hot. Whenever she went to bed they will be red and then through out the night they will get worse. Hands will throb at night and wake her up. She Stated one more symptom is that she feels like she has a sunburn or a rugburn on the inside of her skin, there was no redness anywhere else. There was no rash or anything, but it felt like that and burns. Sometimes it's on her quads or shins, sometimes on her back. Almost every day it's on her buttock, if she sits for to long it starts to get irritated and its like her nerves were getting mad. She had an appointment with her doctor today, last night was rough. She reported her symptoms in an app, but was not sure if it was a CDC or Pfizer app. Both of her hands turned beet red, they did not hurt, they were just very red.

She thinks it was the body's response trying to get rid of the heat or something. Six days later, they started to ache and throb at night.
