A 51 year-old male consumer received the second dose of BNT162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot number not reported) via an unspecified route of administration in arm right on an unspecified date at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Relevant medical history included chronic back pain (diagnosed for years) and type I diabetes mellitus, both ongoing. Concomitant medications were not reported. Historical vaccine includes first dose of BNT162b2 (got violently ill, weak, sweat, very dizzy, nausea, sick). After the second shot of vaccine, the patient started profusely sweating and nausea, had hard time breathing, only lasted a day, the next day he was fine. Stated within that week, he started noticing when he was kneeling in the garden he could not get back up, knew that it was not due to the chronic back pain from years ago and type one diabetic but otherwise he was fine and knew how to handle himself. The patient stated his legs were getting weaker and weaker as well, if he sat down with his nephew or with the neighbor's kids, the minute he sat down or tried to sit Indian style his legs would go numb. He reported this to his doctor, they did 2 conferences with him and they didn't know, all his labs were good, could be neuropathy from diabetes. Second week after second shot (middle of May2021 or end of May2021, as reported) he had to go to the ER at some point during the day he had a huge pain in his groin that felt like a pulled muscle but it progressed all day, by the end of the day if felt like there was a block in there or a clot in his artery going down his leg. went to the ER, did a full CT scan of whole body, no clots no hernias. Gave him morphine and sent him home. For another week he went home and went back to the ER because his legs were so numb it was not just when he was sitting down but all the time, getting worse when sitting down. They just had pins and needles all the time. his legs were getting weaker. On 23May2021, he was not feeling so good, called the doctors, arms are numb, he is just getting weaker, slept all day into the next day, palms of his hands were pins and needles and pain after and the pain was so bad that putting pressure on the hands would help with the pain. On 24May2021 he had cold sweats, not feeling good, dizzy, somethings messed up, pain through his whole body, whole left side of his body was extremely week, right side was weak. Throwing up and defecating just violently sick for 3 hours straight, not totally conscious because he did not remember so much of it. Shaking and profusely sweating, 8am he was able to slide arm and hit the emergency button, left a message they called him back, they sent 911 and they got him. Took him to ED and he had three seizures back to back and they treated the seizures with Ativan. They did another CT scan and they saw he has not fallen, no issues in his head. Sent him to a different hospital. That first night at that hospital he had three more back to back seizures. Woke up and had one more seizure. When he woke up he had electrodes on his head and were measuring his brain activity. He was cleared by neurology at this time, they did not find any issues with his brain. His full body MRI was negative. Rheumatology was now testing him for Lymes, MS, lupus, everything has been negative.
