Caller states that she has had these complaints for two months now. Caller also states that her HCP has seen four other cases of these complaints (did not provide specific details of the four cases). Caller is asking if these side effects have been reported with the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine and, if so, what can be done about these side effects. Next day after the second shot, that night, her hands were itching really bad. Thought she had a reaction and didn't think anything of it. Didn't pay it attention. Next day woke up and hands were numb. Numbness was in fingers, wrists, and hands. Numbness spread upwards to upper part of arms. Numbness is not going away. She can't grasp anything, can't hold a cup, can't write, can't hold a spoon correctly. After she got the second vaccination, she didn't think anything of it. Had no reaction with the first dose. Never thought something would happen. She can't do everything she has to do in a normal life she needs to know, she is 61 years old. Has a hip problem, so now she has another headache, and she wants to find out about this. Caller reported weight has gone up, now 200lbs. Went to her Pathologist who noticed the way her hands were closed. Pathologist asked if she had a heart attack or if she had a neurologist problem, she doesn't have a neurology problem pathologist states he has four patients with the same problem. got second dose about two months ago thought the numbness would go away pathologist told her to report it because it is not normal. Caller then stated the same night as the second dose, her hands were itching all over. Didn't think anything of it, thought it was a little reaction. Woke up next morning with numbness in hands and couldn't hold anything. Then numbness went to arms, feet. Is feeling worse. Her fingers aren't straight anymore, they are curling up. Seeing a Neurologist who is having caller do an EMG test on 01Sep2021 to find out what nerves and what's going on. Was told it's a neurology or neuropathy problem.
