Clinical narrative: vertigo; vertigo/had positional vertigo before; fell off the chair; fatigue/wiped out; immediate chills; like I had flu symptoms; fever 99.8 to 100. F; dizziness; nausea; developing a second one in joints that could be a type of autoimmune arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis; not able to sleep; She was off balance; tinnitus, ringing in the ears; slept for 2 days because I was so wiped out; at risk for falling; effecting the central nervous system; headache; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A female patient of an unspecified age received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE, Solution for injection, lot number and expiry date were not reported), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date in 2021 as single dose for covid-19 immunisation.  Medical history included thyroid autoimmune condition, wherein patient thinks developing autoimmune condition in joints-could be type of autoimmune arthritis. She has 2 lung diseases: first was an environmental lung disease and the other was an upper respiratory illness lung disease diagnosed last year (2020). Patient also had positional vertigo before the vaccination, which she reported as benign positional vertigo is when you put your head in a certain position it triggers vertigo. Patient had vestibular therapy.  Patient stopped taking vaccines because she always got the flu, as she would always get lung infections. Patient can count on one hand how many times she had bronchial issues. Patient also had Hashimoto's autoimmune disease and lime disease wasn't treated right away. At her age, they say "well you need to get this shot (Covid-19 immunisation) to be protected" so she did it.  The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Patient previously went on supplements, and zinc. On an unspecified date in 2021, patient thought she was developing a second one in joints that could be a type of autoimmune arthritis, which was rheumatoid arthritis. Patient have had Pfizer shot 3 weeks ago, after patient had same symptoms as other people had, which was fine: fatigue on 05Apr2021, headache on an unspecified date in 2021, immediate chills on 05Apr2021, slept for 2 days in 2021 because she was so wiped out. They kept waxing and waning, lasted for 2 weeks, on 3 or 4th day, patient was at risk for falling (2021). Patient had vertigo before and this was different, patient have had benign positional vertigo and have had vestibular therapy and this was different, this has nothing to do with positioning and patient couldn't control this.  Patient thought this was insidious, it was effecting the central nervous system (2021). Patient stated that vaccine has not been approved, it's for EUA. Patient was set for second shot tomorrow (08Apr2021); was not sure if patient was going to get it. After 2 weeks, it subsided and then it all hit me again, she had chills, fatigue, fever 99.8 to 100. F on 05Apr2021, and on an unspecified date in 2021, patient had dizziness, vertigo, headache, nausea, and like she had flu symptoms on 05Apr2021. Patient haven't had any flu symptoms though out the entire pandemic. Patient have an autoimmune condition, she have conditions, she stopped taking vaccines because she always got the flu, I would always get lung infections. She went on supplements, and zinc. Patient can count on one hand how many times she had bronchial issues.  In the pandemic in March (year unspecified), patient did have waxing and waning, which patient thought might have had covid, patient did feel off and on and in tune with what was happening, and have been isolating. She live in a country setting in a large living community. Patient haven't seen family members, except with masks, and one family member at a time.  Last time, patient was tested for virus; patient was negative last year (2020). Patient had deep, deep fatigue where she tried to sleep for 2 days (2021). Patient asked on how much immunity do she have and the efficacy of one dose and how long it will last. Patient asked if she don't get the second how protected would she be. Patient also asked on how long the second dose will last as she understand it is 6 months.  Patient asked about hydration, as holistic approach to all of this would be a better way. Patient stated about the new variant, as it is supposed to be more dangerous, what is going to be the approach on that. It's not the other strains, it's a new one. the sound of it was not good. the power behind the variant. Patient was also already concerned about the long-term effect with this vertigo, as it makes "you want to put a gun to your head, you want to kill yourself". If this is going to make it worse, then patient don't want to take it. Patient had to crawl on the sidewalk of a place, like she was drunk, someone had to get her a taxi, and patient fell off the chair and her doctor's office and he admitted her to the hospital from an unspecified date in 2021.  It's re-ignited to the point that patient haven't experienced it before, this was pervasive in a way the other wasn't and was scary. Whatever it was, was in that vaccine. It needs to be investigated, it's not just her, it's 100s of blogs that covers this. It's called vestibular.org; wherein patient mentioned that this one lady received 2nd shot, didn't get dizzy till 2 weeks after the shot, experienced vertigo when rolled side to side, when trying to get up. Patient saw this forum wherein it's been over two months after the shot and she stated "she was still dizzy". This was someone that hasn't had it (vertigo) before. It's hard to talk to someone at Pfizer, that was why all of this isn't reported. Now there was forum, Pfizer needs to take a look into and investigate what is going on. Patient asked if she will get a 3rd shot of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine then they need to put her or in the looney bin. If she thinks that she was going to get a long standing long hauling effect from the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, she will not get the second shot. Patient said she was scheduled for her second shot of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine in 2 days and has had another resurgence of side effects and was leaning toward not getting the second shot of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. She reported it was ridiculous, she has read blog after blog after blog of people having the same things as she was having. These were people suffering with vertigo, falling down, and patient initially very rapidly reported several events this agent was unable to capture.  Patient asked to speak to someone who can provide advisement on what to do; wanted her inquiries regarding these events, immunity levels, and dosing recommendations addressed at this time. What happened to herself after her first shot of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine 3 weeks ago was immediate chills that night which she expected, she wasn't upset about that; deep, deep fatigue where she tried to sleep for 2 days but her sleep has been disturbed since she got the first shot of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and was not able to sleep (2021); which was why it was hard for her to get the second shot. She did not know why, she felt it was a very odd reaction to be fatigued and not be able to sleep. She did sleep in those first 2 days, she guessed the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine wiped her out. She started to get chills, fatigue for 2 days pretty strongly, went on for 4 days pretty strongly. On the 3rd or 4th day she got vertigo. She has a history of benign positional vertigo but hadn't had it again until this Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine shot triggered it again. It was bad, like it was systemic. She has benign positional vertigo, she can kind of control it because she was in rehabilitation for it and has been a dancer her whole life, by the age of 5 she was dancing; she taught all over the world, she knew how to control her body and what reactions in her body are normal an what are not. This vertigo was different than the regular benign positional vertigo is. She has been reading about one person who has this technique to use to try to cure vertigo that only takes a day or two but it triggers the vertigo to get rid of it so caller had not tried it herself yet. That person said the technique did not help them with this vertigo. That's what she felt, the vertigo she has had since the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine was in another area of the body that was not the normal vertigo that caller has. That started on the 3rd or 4th day and it sustained, did not go away for 2 solid weeks. She was off balance (2021), she was that at risk of falling. Then finally after 2 weeks things seemed to smooth out. Then 2 nights ago, all of a sudden, and tomorrow was the date for her second shot of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine-this was noted to be discrepant compared to initial reporter statement that her second dose was in 2 days-, and she got chills; fever of 99.8 to 100; fatigue; and like nausea like she had the flu; then she felt out of balance again. She did some exercises she does that normally helps her control vertigo, but the exercises have done nothing to control this vertigo or dizziness, this stuff being triggered by this Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. She wanted to know how much protection she has because they're saying you're supposed to have like 80% immunity; so she is wondering how much she has. Her immune system functions differently than other people's, functions differently with things either eaten or injected. She does not know how much immunity she has, but assumed at least a good amount at this point. She has read where we don't even know how long the immunity lasts; she had heard 6 months to 8 months they can tell you but beyond that they aren't not sure; she guesses they're doing studies; but how long does this last and that people might have to get a booster of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. She reported that if you think she will get a 3rd shot of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine then they need to put you or me in the looney bin. If she thinks that she is going to get a long standing long hauling effect from the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, she will not get the second shot. The FDA has not even approved this, it was done only for emergency purposes which she understands. She has been in isolation and masks unlike many lunatics in this country and world have not done. She is not in an urban city area, she is in a country area; and even thought she lives in a 400 unit living community she is not around that many people so she does not have that risk that some people do. These people had the same thing from both shots, not just the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine but from the Moderna too, but mostly from the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Some never had vertigo and had it triggered from this; some had it 30 years ago very badly where they were vomiting and could not stand up. That that was condition she was in with the benign positional vertigo, where she was hospitalized in another state came to where she is now -unable to verify spelling as caller was unwilling to complete report. She had to go into rehabilitation for the benign positional vertigo which was very difficult but helpful. This person had never had it again until this Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and it triggered it as violently as she first had it. Patient also reported tinnitus, ringing in the ears on an unspecified date in 2021. She didn't have it (at the time of the report) and just read about it and then 3 weeks after the first shot of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine patient started getting it. She reported it is peculiar for the effects to have subsided and then to reappear; strongly reappear; the headache, the temperature, vertigo, fatigue and nausea. She is going to call her doctor when she gets off of the phone with Pfizer. He was in the middle of the COVID onslaught because he is a top lung specialist.  The outcome of the events reported was unknown.  Information on the batch/lot number has been requested.
