Clinical narrative: History of adverse reaction to COVID vaccine   December 16, 2021 - 1st dose of Pfizer vaccine in left arm. Felt tingling and pins and needles in face and extremities, left arm soreness. These symptoms continue for a three-week period. This seems odd that the symptoms are lasting longer than a few days.   January 6, 2022 ? 2nd dose of Pfizer  The day after the second dose, I am unable to move for a day. I feel like I have a huge hangover. I have a headache, I am sore, I cannot move, flat on my back. I missed work on that Friday.  I feel tingling and pins and needles in face and extremities. The left arm is very sore at the injection site. Left lymph node started feeling ?full? or swollen.  Intermittent tingling and prickly feeling on face and extremities over the next 2 months. It feels like something is circulation through the body, and my body does not like it. However, the tingling remains in the background.  March 10, 2022 - I saw NP for annual checkup, complained of fullness in lymph nodes, especially left lymph node.  March 11, 2022 On this day, I felt my left lymph node release, meaning that it felt less full all of a sudden. It felt like something drained out of it.   March 12, 2022 -  I started feeling lymph nodes in my neck getting activated and swollen. It kind of felt like I was getting a common cold.  Weirdly, however, I started getting tons of mouth sores. But at first, it felt like a piece of food was stuck in my teeth way in the back of mouth, or like I had burned myself on hot food and a piece of skin was loose. However, within a couple days, this feeling gave way to an explosion of painful canker sores. The tongue started bleed. The tongue was covered with painful, tingling sores. There were red, bloody blotches on my tongue and all over the inside of my mouth. Most of my tongue turned white. However, there were some red blotches. (This looked like covid tongue on the internet). The sores in the back of my mouth were white. I could not chew or brush my teeth, as it was too painful.   I had to eat mushed up food for one week.  It was painful to smile.  The lymph nodes under my neck were swollen and sensitive to the touch. It was difficult to drink water because it was uncomfortable and painful to swallow fluid.  My mouth was extremely sensitive to almost every flavor except the most bland food, like rice or water. For example, I could not drink orange juice as it was too painful.   I had hives on my extremities (red dots on my hands, feet, arms, legs, feet).  I had to eat only soft foods and try to mush the food with my tongue, as anything with sharp edges caused too much pain against the inflamed gums.  March 14, 2022 - I get tested for COVID, thinking that maybe I have a new variant.   March 15, 2022 ? I received a negative COVID test. I try to make an appointment for March 16 but the next appointment is March 17.  March 17, 2022 ? I see drs. I start the steroid taper and do the hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse. Within 5 days, I feel a lot better. I can eat again without much pain. The inflammation in the mouth subsides greatly.  However, the lymph nodes in my neck still feel full, activated and slightly swollen. I do not feel like the healing crisis is over but the extreme mouth sores are healing up.  March 24, 2022 ? I am given the results of the D-Dimer test, they are negative  March 24, 2022 to April 5, 2022 ? My tongue starts tingling again; face and extremities start tingling. Left arm feels sore again in the same location as the shot, like I just got the shot yesterday. Left lymph node starts feeling full again. Now the right under arm lymph node feels activated, whereas before there was nothing wrong there.   Now both right and left under arm lymph nodes now feel occasionally sore. Not painful to the touch or sharp pain, but more of a dull fullness or sometimes a more acute internal ?pulling? or pinching sensation or fullness.  There was also a swollen "pocket" or grape-like protuberance on the inside of my mouth on the inside of the "goatee area" of the chin (under the bottom lip). There was a painful swelling on the inside of the mouth that seemed to get worse on this second wave.  By April 5, 2022, the mouth has healed up significantly since I made the appointment last approximately Wednesday, March 30. NP was not available until April 6, 2022, so I am not sure what she is going to find during my appointment on April 6, 2022.   I started to use the BEMER light on my mouth starting on April 3, 2022, which I think contributed significantly to the healing process of the mouth sores.  I have started doing hot yoga at home in order to detox, and I also try to bike a few times a week in order to increase lymph circulation.   April 6, 2022 I saw NP, (who is my regular GP), at Medical Center  April 7, 2022 At the time of this report, the mouth ulcers are pretty much healed up, but I have been now experiencing dizziness and vertigo, and a general weakness in the right side of my body, there is a very faint numbness of the right half of the head area, including the face.  The right arm feels weaker and "deader." There is also the continued "activated" or pinching or pulling feeling in both lymph nodes underneath the armpits on right and left side. The swollen lymph nodes in the neck seem to have gone down a little bit.
