She took the bandaged arm and rubbed the arm down with alcohol because she always does that after needles, then that evening 10ish, she was kneeling on her elbow, it was propped up, on the elbow she felt such a pain, and she was reminding herself that she got the needle, but when she rubbed it, she felt the Lump, she went to the bathroom and rolled up her pajama shirt and there was this lump, it was real red like a rash, she then rubbed alcohol around it.She then noticed her head later on that same night, like there was tightness in the head like a headache, she waived it off and laid down, and chalked it up busy with little kids. The next day she was taking them to school driving and she felt lightness in the head, like she was seeing little specs, she shook that off after, sat in the classroom till 11AM lunch time and left came home, there was one medication at the pharmacy that was not ready, and so she had to go back to (name withheld), her cardiology doctor sent a new prescription. She was hoping to see the pharmacist that gave her the injection but it wasn't the same pharmacist.She went to the young lady pharmacist and she was telling her she looked out of it, she told the pharmacist that she feels out of it, she came in yesterday and got the booster and now she feels strange, she pulled up her shirt and showed the pharmacist and that's when another lady standing there besides her said she had the same thing happen with her 3rd booster, it swollen up on her and took 4 days go down , she told her it would go away.In the mean time she experienced fatigue, she was tired but didn't want to sleep, because she didn't want to miss picking up the kids, she felt like she was going to have diarrhea, her throat was scratchy getting itchy, she picked up a germ because it was scratchy, there was a burning effect that went into the nostril, her nose running, something in it. She kept using saline, saline flushing out her nose, she noticed the ear drum on the right side having pain, pain or something she would blow her nose it would go pop, she had dizziness, this was all the next day on 07Mar2023, felt like she worked out or something.She made green tea while talking to this call handler and felt like she is going to fall.She had back surgery, in Sept they cut in the stomach, because she had this accident with 2 guys, the guy ran in the back, spun her around, she thought she just walked away but she had a bruise, bang on the elbow and knee.

She looked quite young. She was concerned experiencing all of this signs in her body, she wants to make sure that there is nothing to be concerned about like she will die, or will end up in a hospital, she has gotten this far because she believes in a high power, it didn't bring her this far for nothing, it's a strange medication that was injected in the body and not knowing what effect it caused. The USMI agent couldnt tell her if she should be concerned, she doesn't want to go to sleep and not wake up, she has an appointment coming up in Apr2023, but they called her to change it because in Apr2023 her doctor will not be there, so she doesn't know what do, if she goes to the the doctor then it is the hospital, that where she usually go, that's where she had her surgery, and they have good doctors. She will have to go the emergency Room.

She is trying to treat it like a light flu or cold, making some tea, bought ginger, she's had No fever at all, also flu allergy medication, like the high blood pressure cold medicine she buys, she has  to buy that type medication because its okay with her blood pressure, she now had Nyquil and bought new Nyquil for high blood pressure, since she has been been talking her throat doesn't feel scratchy, but she still has this burning from nostril down the throat in the back, she feels dizzy and will have chicken noodle soup.
