It was reported after a few days from her second dose, on an unspecified date in Apr2021, she started experiencing a burning sensation on her nose and sinus of her head (some weird symptoms in her head, like a burning sensation in nose and sinus and head). She was really concerned that she had the burning since the second vaccine. She went to a couple of doctors like a neurologist and gastroenterologist. She went to all kinds of doctors trying to figure out why the burning started, it was a neurological problem. She was asking what could cause that. When queried about the weight, she reported that she was 128 pounds and she kept losing weight since the burning sensation started. The doctors did so much blood work and they keep saying she was fine. The burning was not stopped, and she did not know where to go for help. Treatment: First she was given steroids for 5 days and it stopped, then it came back. She was given steroids again a second time and it did not help. Reported the steroids she was given twice was Methylprednisolone She did not have lot, ndc, or expiration date to provide. First time she used the steroid it helped. The second time she was on it the burning started again the next day after she finished the steroid. Patient stated one doctor thought it could be from acid and she took something and it did not stop burning. The neurologist did some blood work and she was told that there was nothing in her blood work that is showing inflammation. She went to ENT and he did not check her nose or sinus. She still did not know the cause. She could not function or go to work. She was losing her head since she could not stop the burning. She went eight times to the emergency room, and they could not find anything and sent her home. She was admitted once and this was the last time she went, told she cannot keep going back to the ER. Events also resulted in physician office visit. The outcome of the event she cannot function or go to work was unknown and the rest of the events was not recovered.
