Vaccine: COVID19-2, UNK
Symptoms: Dizziness, Ear pain, Hyperhidrosis, Immediate post-injection reaction, Injection site pain
Clinical narrative: Immediately after my Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and my flu shot, I had site soreness and the next day I had increasing soreness that spread down through my arm. I was a little dizzy immediately after the shots as well. I had hives on the second day on my left arm but they cleared up pretty quickly. On the third day, I experienced a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes under my arm.  I also experienced some soreness in my neck. Around day 5 things got pretty bad so on day six I contacted a doctor. The throbbing in my neck was so intense that it was radiating through my jaw and in my ears. I haven't been able to sleep for a couple of days due to the pain. They advised an increased dosage of Advil and Ibuprofen and that I come in to see someone if I'm not improved in a few days. Things have been getting progressively better since yesterday but I have been experiencing excessive sweating although I don't feel hot and the skin on my palms has been peeling as a result of the sweating. I experienced similar issues after my other Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines. However, I did not have any issues with the doses of Moderna that I received.

Clinical narrative: arm started hurting, nausea and fatigue/malaise, headache within first 24 hours - that's all very expected, and was much less severe than with the 2nd base shot and 1st booster (I had Pfizer for all 3 prior doses).

I took Imodium after cleaning up, and have "Liquid IV" drink powder on hand for rehydration, so I am still treating at home. Please note that I was advised NOT to get the flu shot at the same time, so I only got this one.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Back pain, Condition aggravated, Muscle spasms, Musculoskeletal pain, Pain in extremity
Clinical narrative: I received my first Moderna booster for COVID-19 on 12/10/2021. Before describing the effects of the booster, I will preface it by saying that I have been dealing with chronic sciatica since 2008, and this affects my back and both of my legs. I have had issues with frequent pain and spasms in my legs as a result of this. On 12/22/2021, I experienced a painful spasm that extended from my left buttock to my left calf. This was worse than the pain I normally have on account of the sciatica. With the sciatica, my pain is usually a 4 or 5/10, but with the spasm I experienced, the pain was a 9/10. Ever since I got my first booster, I have dealt with this severe pain intermittently on a daily basis. It normally comes when I am sitting, standing, or walking. The prescription medications I was previously taking for the sciatica and back pain have helped with the severity of pain somewhat, but not much. My physical therapist has taught me some exercises to do to help relieve the pain, and they help somewhat. I received my second Moderna booster for COVID-19 in June 2022, but I don't remember the exact date. Since I have had the second booster, the pain and spasms in my left leg and buttock have even worse than before. Since getting the second booster, I have been less active on account of the pain. I can now no longer shop, because I can't stand or walk too long. Not only that, but my work hours have decreased for the same reason.

Clinical narrative: Note: I have had 4 Moderna Covid 19 vaccines previously at the same location. All have been fine.

I've been on a clear liquid diet for two days, now on day three I am consuming some soft low fiber foods but am having liquid diarrhea. This may or may not be a result of the vaccine, but no other obvious cause comes to mind.
