A 63-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: EL3247 and expiry date: unknown), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 06May2021 at 15:20 as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. The patient had the first dose on 15Apr2021 in her left arm, lot number: EL9265 as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing hypothyroidism (Hypothyroid condition), ongoing diabetes (endocrine abnormalities), autoimmune disorder, hereditary disorder, diagnosed allergies, respiratory illness, obesity from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. She had autoimmune illness for a long time, since she was in her thirties. She has had it for over half of her life. She has had it for maybe 30 years. It was a hereditary cause. Concomitant medication included levothyroxine taken for Hypothyroid condition (She has taken the Levothyroxine for about 30 years also) approximately 68mg to 75mg every day. No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). No family medical history relevant to Adverse events (AEs). AEs did not require a visit to emergency room and Physician office. The patient was taking Covid Vaccine to prevent the virus and be protected. She had her second dose of the Covid Vaccine on 06May2021, and 2 weeks after she started feeling all of these rocks in her head, noises in her left ear, and had matter coming out of her left ear. It started 2 weeks after she had the vaccine. She had it in her left arm. The hearing in her left ear was impaired. Her right ear was okay. She made an ear nose and throat doctor appointment which she could not get for 2 more weeks, and she was biding her time. A friend had a lot of matter coming out of his ear. He dunked his head under water and it helped him, but it didn't work for her. It was disturbing. She believed her symptoms are from the Covid shot. She had never had this before, and it was such a weird reaction. If Pfizer has anything to offer she is all ears. Actually, after the first shot she noticed some of this matter coming out of her left ear 2 weeks after. One day she had some vertigo. She was washing the floor and felt dizzy. Thank God that went away. More of this problem occurred 2 weeks after the second shot. She just went to physician, and he just said to put her head in the shower. First dose matter coming out of left ear started the second week after her first dose. It did go away. She thought if it was temporary she could deal with that. If she knew it will go away she will bear it. It went away within the day in the evening. It didn't linger. First dose vertigo happened on the same day that she had matter coming out of her ear. It was 2 weeks after the vaccine, later Saturday evening. It went away and did not stick. Matter coming out of left ear started 2 weeks and 3 days after she had the second dose of the vaccine. She used a Q tip and thought what is this. She did not want to damage her ear canal. She felt something and sure enough something was there. She hasn't had much success at releasing this. The doctor said it looks like a spider web in her ear, but it will come out on its own. It was really not coming out. It was like something was hatching at times. She thought is it a prehistoric animal hatching in her head. It was very disturbing. It had gotten better. It was just like a brown acrid she was not sure what it was. She almost wondered if it was the color of the vaccine itself and that was what in the vaccine. It looked like it stagnated in her head. It did not come out, and she had been using dozens and dozens of Q tips. She felt plugged up like there were stones in her head. When she turned her head a certain way she would hear creaky stony noises. Someone said she should drink a lot of water and chicken soup before getting the vaccine. She wondered if that was the problem, she drank too much water. She had trepidation about getting the vaccine. She was worried about it and didn't want to get the second shot, but people said she should. She almost wishes she never did. When she dunked her head in a tub under water it almost got worse again back to what it was 2 weeks ago. It started at the same time as the matter coming out of her ears. Hearing in her left ear is impaired was the biggest problem. It made her want to cry. She valued all of her senses. It started at the same time as everything else, 2 weeks after she had the vaccine. It was about the same. Her left ear was always her stronger ear too. She has tinnitus in her right ear and now this. She has had the tinnitus for a long time, but her left ear was always better. She had tests that all came out normal. Apparently her blood pressure went up, and her doctor wants to put her on blood pressure medication. She thought it was because of all of this. She had bloodwork, and it all checked out fine. Everything was unremarkable, nothing she had to go back to address. It was a normal blood panel. Outcome of the events matter coming out of left ear was recovering, noises in her left ear and hearing in her left ear is impaired was not recovered and the outcome of other event was unknown.  Follow-up attempts are possible. Further information is expected.
