She stated that she called (withheld) and they advised her to call Pfizer. She stated that she got her booster shot last Thursday and had a doctors appointment the next day. The doctor gave her 2 shots of Cortisone in her shoulder. She was not aware that the doctor was going to do it that day or not. Caller states that Friday, she had heavy breathing, labored breathing and was extremely dizzy. She had some vision loss for just a short period of time. She wasn't sure if it was the booster shot or a combination with the Cortisone shot, that kind of bumped against each other. She had not had any kind of problem with the Pfizer shot prior to that. She had all ready contacted her orthopedic doctor and they had not returned the call yet. She did not know if this had happened to anybody else and knows that any reaction should be reported to the company. All of Friday and about half of Saturday, she didn't know. It was the worst feeling she ever had and it was just weird. She also didn't sleep and she had a little anxiety. She was really concerned because she had 2 Cortisone shots in her knees, like 3 weeks before that. Caller stated she was not aware that her doctor was going to give her the Cortisone shot because she was just there getting an X-ray. They suggested that she had the 2 Cortisone shots. Caller stated she had not had any adverse reactions to Cortisone shots before. She has had Cortisone shots before, in her life and she did not know if the 2 collided, the Cortisone shot and the Covid booster shot. Caller stated she gave it the weekend because she did not want to jump on the phone or jump into the doctors office. She tried to see if it could be a food allergy or who knows. She waited and carried it through. When it started, she didn't think it started until 7:00m or 8:00pm that night. It went on the whole night that Friday. She made sure she had her other medicines, she had other medical problems. She made sure she had all her medicines for her diabetes, her blood pressure and her cholesterol. She made sure she had taken them. She had gotten the shot that, kind of calmed down a little. She thought and stated she had never felt it but, people had told her then when the blood sugar spikes, they would have these problems. That was what it felt like. She calmed down a little when she took the shot but it kept going on all night. She stated she finally dozed off about maybe 2:00am or 3:00am the next morning and was still wobbly. She was just shaking and shaking, like she was starting to have Parkinsons or something. Then, the hands were shaking a little and she was trying to control them. It wasn't severe if she could keep her head still. She stated she was a little shocked because she hadn't ever had problems with Cortisone before. Saturday, she kind of mellowed out and had some place to go on Sunday. She stated that yesterday, she made the call to the orthopedic doctor and left them a message. She tried calling (withheld) yesterday but something was happening with the phone. She called today and today was the first day she had reported this. Clarified that when the caller previously mentioned she had experienced vision loss, she stated that it was more blurry than vision loss. She stated she had diabetes, type 2 and had gotten shaky but, nothing like this. She felt fine with the booster shot the day before. Clarified that she had the Covid booster shot the day before the Cortisone shot.  Clarified that the caller had the Pfizer Covid booster 27Jan2022 at 11:30am or 12:00pm.

Caller stated that there was probably absolutely nothing but there might be something going on. If she told something, they can put this in the data for further information, or someone else may have the same problems. Caller states her body was falling apart. She had 2 injections of Cortisone shot, one in each knee, about a month ago, within the last month. When she went to see this doctor, to get an X-ray done, it was in her shoulder, because she was having pains. They told her she had some bone spurs in both sides and that she had the option for them to go in there and grind the bone down or give her the Cortisone shot. She states she just had some Cortisone shots in her knees. She was told that it didn't matter if it were in another part of her body, that they could put Cortisone in different places. She stated she had one shot in each shoulder. She wanted to report this because it was absolutely weird. It was probably nothing and she might have had a little virus but, she did not know, it was strange. She stated that now it was reported and she felt comfortable. The adverse events didn't require a visit to Emergency Room and Physician Office. Caller states she had blood (Tests) taken for her annual last Sep2021 or Nov2021, it was between Sep2021 and Nov2021.
