Clinical narrative: Guillen-Barre syndrome; miserable; she could barely get out of bed; nerve pain; blood clot; she was positive for her D dimer test, it has been more than 5000; weakness in her legs; pain in her legs; she can't walk; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 51-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; Lot number and expiration date were not reported), via an unspecified route of administration in Feb2021 (at the age of 51-years-old) at dose 2, single for covid-19 immunization. The patient medical history was not reported. There were no concomitant medications. The reporter stated that she got her COVID vaccine from Pfizer and she has been in misery since then and she just had to call and let Pfizer know. She had her first dose on either 03Feb2021 or 04Feb2021, and instantly, within a few days, it started with the weakness and she had not felt good after the vaccine either. The next day and that night she had felt chills and a little bit of a temperature and then the next day that went away but she felt so weak. She felt like her legs were dragging, literally.She went back to her doctor and asked if she should still get the second vaccine and her doctor said yes, she needed to get it and so the caller said okay and she got it. She then had the weakness again and then she ended up having pain in her legs that was so bad she had to go to the emergency room and they said that she was positive for her D dimer test, it has been more than 5000 since she had the vaccine. Her last D dimer was on 29Sep2021 and it was 6337. She was put on Xarelto for 22 days when she at first had the pain in her legs being so bad. Periodically it comes with weakness in her legs and the pain was so bad that she can't walk. Here she is now 4 days into this bout with it again and she was not able to walk without crutches because of the severe pain she has when she was walking. It was like nerve pain and it hurts so bad, it is like a 9 out of 10. This has been absolutely crazy and she was a practice manager at an orthopaedic surgeon's office and she has been working from her bed because of how bad it was and she wanted to get a copy of what was in the COVID vaccine. She has been treated with a doctor in the beginning of this and they thought that maybe it could be Guillen-Barre syndrome and said that they were going to keep an eye on her and send her to a neurologist. Now at the time of report, she was with institute (unspecified) and she was sent another medication yesterday because of her D dimer and they said that her side effects were from the vaccine. They said it was an effect from the vaccine and that she needed to see a neurologist and she could not get into one until Dec2021. She doesn't know what would happen to her before Dec2021. This has been destroying her lift and she was just working from her bed and it is absolutely crazy. It was inquired if it ever went away after her 1st dose and caller stated that it was strange, it was like the weakness was always there but the extent of the weakness and how worse it gets is what changed. It was just like honestly she would wake up one morning and go to get up and she could not stand up by herself and her husband gets her up and tried to help her by giving her the crutches and then she was able to make it to the bathroom but then he has to help her shower because she could not stand without the crutches. Then, she could wake up two days from now and it was not as bad and she would be okay walking and getting into work with the elevator but she definitely could not use the stairs. She was so weak since she got this. She got the crutches from work and she was going to walk with the crutches to at least make sure that she would not fall. She walked with the crutches for 3.5 weeks. She was supposed to be in clinic tomorrow and she doesn't know how she was going to do that, she was so miserable. She wanted to say that the pain felt like nerve pain. The only thing relevant was her D dimer being so high. She has been to the urgent care several times because she had the leg pain and her D dimer was so high that she could have had a blood clot. She has done that so many times because the pain was so bad and when she said it was a 9 out of 10 it is actually probably more. The outcome of the events was unknown.
