After the second shot, a week later, she had such fatigue that she couldn't stand up to fold laundry. She was not sleep but had no energy fatigue. The caller reported she had this for a month, she was in bed with that. Also, for 2 and half months she had the worst knee pain in both knees. She has had no injury or anything going on with her knees before. It felt like someone was stabbing her in the knees, both knees and she couldn't even bend them without excruciating pain.

She said she couldn't get out of bed for a month with the fatigue and for 2 months she had pain in mostly the right side clarifying it was a little in the right hand and right leg. There was also the pain in both knees. Second dose on 03May2021 was the one that cause her to be crippled for 2 months. At this point the fatigue was still ongoing but had gotten better. The pain was better in that it was not stabbing pain where she could not walk and where she was staying in bed with ice pack for 2 months. Now it was more constant but not stabbing. Treatment- she had her legs propped on pillows and ice packs for 2 months. She also went to the doctor for bloodwork and was told she had rheumatoid arthritis (RA), this was 2 weeks ago (in 2021).
