Additional information: Approximately 2 weeks after his inoculation which took place on 26 Sep 2021 (third dose injected in upper left bicep), he started to experience paresthesia all over his back from neck, nip of hair all way down back, back of calves and arms. He equated it to a bad sunburn feeling like he had been scalded with water. He also said it was a feeling like it was mentholated. It was very uncomfortable. It has been supported by Gabapentin and with roll on Aspercreme tube not an ointment, which is applied usually before bed. It is just to be safe than sorry whether he needs it or not at this point. Medication he had been taking for asthma and had a device he uses daily. She does not know the medication name. He takes Wellbutrin for depression for 20 years. All were present prior to taking the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccines. He had been tested by his family doctor and monitored just about weekly as far as what his symptoms are. They change on a daily basis and sometimes every few days and some times a week. He also been tested by a neurologist because his symptoms have been neurological in nature. ANA blood test on first one came out at 40, which both his doctor and neurologist felt were a false positive. he was also seen by a rheumatologist who agreed that it was not anything except a false positive at that time. It was either in Jan2022 or in Feb2022. He had some tests that showed nothing such as a complete MRI, EEG, and 2 Dopplars. One was full skull and one was on neck and she presumed they were looking at Carotid Artery. She is operating off of memory. He had a nerve conductivity test on legs and came out with no concern, but had slightly less conduction, which they said was typical for his age. He had a Nerve conduction test on arms just last week by the neurologist and remarked to the patient that, if he had diabetes, and he said no, and the neurologist said there is some loss of nerve conduction here. She did not know if her husband would have known if he had not had the nerve conduction test. He has had a second ANA test done and it went from 40 to 80, which everyone is aware of and keeping an eye on, nobody is bending over backwards to react to.
