Patient experienced dry cough, hoarseness, and slight headache on 05Apr2021 and bumps on 06Apr2021.  It was reported that her arm like was really swollen, really red, and really itchy. It started the evening, she got the shot at 11:30, by like late in the day early evening it was like, oh yeah, she knows she got her shot. While it was itching Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, it was really itchy and she even put anti-itching cream, maybe cortisone, and ice on her arm trying to get rid of the itching. It has subsided and is not painful or noticeable on 06Apr2021, but she still could feel bumps but that's it. Her arm was the least of it. Sunday about midday 4Apr2021 she had chills, was sweating and had no energy. It became really excessive into the night and the next day and the next day till yesterday morning, 5Apr2021. She thought she was all better than about 3 to 4 hours she again had chills and loss of energy. She doesn't know if she is over it or not. She will see at 3pm today to see how this works. The worst symptoms were the chills and no energy. Her bed was soaking, she was soaking, her chair was soaking, and she couldn't stop shaking and couldn't stay warm. Started Sunday, she was slightly sweaty sleeping last night, but she would say it's a marked improvement. She doesn't own a thermometer, so she doesn't know if she had a fever, but she is assuming now that she had a fever and that it broke overnight. Yesterday it picked up again at 3 in the afternoon until 7 in the evening just with the chills and no energy. The redness and swelling in the arm, that dissipated by now. Since Monday, 05Apr2021, she has had a dry cough and her voice since Monday was hoarse. She states like this is not how she normally sounds. On the day of this report, she was on her fifth day, and she was hoping nothing reburps itself up this afternoon and will be the end of it. She was aware of side effects and this was way worse and not what she expected. Outcome of events arm like was really swollen, really red, and really itchy was resolved on 06Apr2021, sweating was resolving. Events dry cough, hoarseness, slight headache, and bumps were not resolved. Outcome of events chills, had no energy, Her bed was soaking, she was soaking, her chair was soaking, and she couldn't stop shaking and couldn't stay warm and fever were unknown. Her concern is that she needs to go and get her second Shingrix shot at the end of this month, and the reaction she got with COVID isn't going to happen with the Shingrix.  She will talk to her pharmacist about it. She states the first time she got chills and shaking and sweating.
