Clinical narrative: Patient's email report, 10 days after vaccinations:  "First of all, the pharmacist used me for dart practice instead of an injection. I had blood running down my arm from the flu shot (she must have hit a vein?). Still bruised. Secondly, I have had incredible pain in my joints (now easing up). I think the worst pain was in my joint replacements of metal. It seems every other day, I nap for 2 hours after sleeping 10 or 11 hours each night. My energy level has been really low. I've literally been stumbling a bit with my left foot, but better today. My left thumb has been numb for 3 days after tingling and numbness in hands sporadically."  She wrote again on 10/19/20: "I just want to connect to let you know I am still having symptoms following the 2 vaccines. Today, I researched the effects of receiving the flu vaccine and Gulliane-Barre is listed. It completely describes how I am feeling with my odd gait, weakness, and numbness in my left thumb and forefinger. On my morning walk with a friend, I mentioned my gait, and the weakness. She had noticed my foot dragging off and on. It finally caused me to research and the information said it can last several weeks or even months.  I also told last week that I felt like I had an autoimmune situation going on.  It all makes sense. It is very frustrating, but empowering to know that it won't last forever. You would think I have had a stroke to watch me walk. Yet, I knew the traveling pains in different joints over this 3 and a half week period had been an issue from the injections"

Welts appeared and spread all over my right thigh. Then they appeared on my left thigh. Then my upper right arm. They later spread to my left arm & buttocks. I took a Benadryl-type antihistamine  at 12 noon. The welts improved by 2 pm and were fairly cleared up by 4 pm (10/20/2020).  I had a fever. Then the itchy, burning welts came back even worse around 8 pm. They covered my thighs and upper arms. I took a Claritan-type antihistamine  immediately (8 pm). I was miserable and went to bed, trying not to think about the pain and itch. When I got up the next morning (10/21/2020), the welts were gone.
