The following information was reported: NEUROPATHY PERIPHERAL (medically significant) with onset 2021, outcome "unknown", described as "The peripheral neuropathy came back very strong in my hands and feet; Nerve pain; I have very bad neuropathy that has returned; I just noticed that it came back after I had my Pfizer shot"; DISEASE RECURRENCE (medically significant) with onset 2021, outcome "unknown", described as "peripheral neuropathy came back very strong"; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT (medically significant) with onset 2021, outcome "unknown", described as "having electrical shocks in my head, it was horrible, I said Oh! my gosh, I think, I having an stroke"; LIVER FUNCTION TEST INCREASED (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "unknown", described as "my LFTs were high"; CYST (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "unknown", described as "they found a cyst on it /upper GI"; NERVE INJURY (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "unknown", described as "nerve damage"; ELECTRIC SHOCK SENSATION (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "unknown", described as "having electrical shocks in my head". The events "the peripheral neuropathy came back very strong in my hands and feet; nerve pain; i have very bad neuropathy that has returned; i just noticed that it came back after i had my Pfizer shot", "peripheral neuropathy came back very strong", "having electrical shocks in my head, it was horrible, i said oh! my gosh, i think, i having an stroke" and "nerve damage" were evaluated at the physician office visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: colonoscopy: unknown results; computerised tomogram: found a cyst on it; liver function test: high; ultrasound liver: unknown results. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of neuropathy peripheral, disease recurrence, nerve injury. Clinical course information: Oncologist recommended the patient to take the COVID vaccine. She waited only two weeks but she "have few of the neuropathy drain to drain the chemotherapy in a way but now I have nerve damage." After she took her Pfizer shot the peripheral neuropathy came back very strong in her hands and feet, described as tingling, nerve pain in hand and in toes. She doesn't know if it was the Pfizer shot, she had no other reactions. The oncologist said they didn't know why the neuropathy had returned.
