Additional information: Patient reported she has not been normal since the Pfizer shot, she had Oct2021. Patient reported date of booster dose as 21Oct2021; was not clarified, which date was correct date of receiving booster dose, 19Oct2021 or 21Oct2021. She was always dizzy, always got headaches, off balanced. Her life has been turned upside down, since that shot 19Oct2021 (as reported), at 11:00 AM, by 7:00 PM that night, was so dizzy, off balance, could not walk, was still suffering to this. Some days, it got worse, some days it was ok. First, they thought it was vertigo, they sent her from treatment, for possible crystals in her ear, went for that. Patient was waiting to see neurologist on 26Dec2023, it could be migraines, could be something with central nervous system, from shot, she did not know. When patient went to get up, eyes went black, then, kind of subsided a little bit, eyesight came back. From that point, she has not been the same. Patient just took paracetamol (TYLENOL), when headaches were bad. They thought she had crystals in her ear, was going to neurologist, that dealt with off balance, vertigo stuff. She was told it was because of the booster shot. Due to being off balance, she fell twice some time in 2022. Came in, fell, knocked over tv stuff, believed it was end of 2022 or beginning of 2023. She did call ambulance to come check her out, but did not go to the hospital. She had no other treatments. She had second fall, going to beauty parlor, there were 3 little steps, fell through plate glass window, that did not break. That was early spring time 2023. She had no treatment for that. Patient had other stuff after the booster. For some reason, had mites on nose and ear. That was 2022 or, before that. They sent her to see dermatologist, they didn't know what it was. They did biopsy son ear, did pathology, all this stuff. They gave her medication to try and get that out of her body. She did not remember the name. It all really started after this booster. She thought maybe it was because she was wearing a black mask. It had to be end of 2021, or early 2022. In right leg, from ankle, all the way up calf, was always beet red. They gave her medicine for that. She clarified this occurred during same time period this all took place, end 2021, early 2022. She had no other treatments or medication for mites or for right leg being red.
