Event descriptions were provided in the following first person account which was provided by reporter (the patient): "This is a chronological record of my experience after the Pfizer Vaccine 20Jan2021, I received my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine after my Remicade infusion in (hospital name) Wednesday, 10Feb2021, I received my second shot of the Pfizer vaccine at 9:30am at (hospital name). I started getting a headache before I went to bed at around 8pm. During the night, I got a severe headache and very bad chills. So bad my teeth were rattling and I had to pull an extra blanket over me. Thursday, 11Feb2021, I got up at 7.08am. I went into the bathroom and washed my face. I was very pale and I felt terrible. I went downstairs to the kitchen. I put the kettle on and took my temperature. I had three doctor appointments that morning in and I was worried I would not be able to get into them if my temperature was high. It was 100.1. I went into the ground floor bathroom. I left the bathroom when I heard the kettle was fully boiled. The next thing I remember was the feel of carpet on my left cheek. I knew the only floor in my house that had carpet, was the basement floor. I opened my eyes and to my horror, I was able to see the basement storage room. I had no recollection on how I got there. I knew straight away, that I had fainted or passed out, on the stairs landing and had fallen down the whole flight of stairs. I was afraid to move because I didn't know if I had broken my back or my neck. I was home alone. After laying there for a few minutes, I knew I had to try to get back up the stairs so I could get to a phone. If I didn't, I knew my husband would not find me there, until after 2:30pm. I tried to get up. I struggled but I got to my knees. The next thing I recall is waking up again on the carpeted floor. This time I was sprawled out in the opposite direction, this time my head was near the thread mill. I had obviously passed out again. Now this really frightened me, I was terrified to stand up in case I fell back down again. I literally crawled up the stairs on my hands and knees. I grabbed my cell phone and called my husband to come home from work. I made that call at 7.34am. I didn't move from the sofa until he came home. He made me a cup of tea. He then brought me into the bathroom to wash my teeth. When I was finished washing my teeth, I passed out again. I woke up this time to my husband tapping my face and calling my name. I had fainted again; he had caught me and had carried me into the sofa. I was unable to sit or stand up by myself. I was so weak. I felt so sick, I couldn't even drink the tea. My husband brought me up to bed. He checked on me every hour. I came back downstairs at 4pm. I hurt all over. I had bruises all over my shins, knees, right elbow and 2 bumps on my head. My back was sore. My right thumb was very sore and I couldn't move my left shoulder or arm. I put ice on my shoulder and thumb all night. I took Tylenol pm to help me sleep.  Friday, 12Feb2021, my husband helped me to get dressed. I came down the stairs with him. I was very weak. I was shaky and did not trust myself to walk down the stairs. He was having knee surgery that morning. His friend took him to the hospital as I was not fit to drive. I did not move from the sofa until he came home at around 2pm. We talked about going to the ER but I really didn't want to go because of Covid. I was not steady on my feet and I would have to be dropped outside the hospital on my own. I took pain killers all day and iced down my left shoulder and right thumb. Saturday, 13Feb2021:  I was still in a lot of pain and my head was a little dizzy, especially when I lay down. I went to Urgent care at 9am. I was seen by Dr. (Name provided). She sent me for 4 x rays and took my blood. My back and right shin were x rayed, I had no broken bones. My shins and knees were badly bruised. The other 2 x rays showed I had a fracture on my right thumb and there was something wrong with my left shoulder. She suggested I go to see an orthopedic doctor on Monday. I forgot to tell her about the dizzy spells and my neck been sore. She did not examine my head or neck. She found no other reason for my fainting, except that I got the Pfizer vaccine the day before. Sunday, 14Feb2021, I continued with the pain killers and ice on my shoulder and thumb. I continued to have dizzy spells. I also felt unbalanced. My appetite was gone and I felt nauseous sometimes when I was eating. I had no energy and I hurt all over. Monday, 15Feb2021, I got an appointment with an Orthopedist at 4.30pm. My husband dropped me off. Nurse and his assistant looked after me before I saw the doctor. I was told I have a separated bone in my left shoulder. It's called acromioclavicular joint separation. AC (collar bone) separates from the scapula (shoulder blade). So, I will have to wear a sling for a few weeks. I will also have to wear a temporary cast on my right hand for a few weeks to heal the fracture on my right thumb. No surgery is needed for either. They also put me on steroids for 2 weeks, Prednisone. Tuesday 16Feb2021, I rested all day. I was still having dizzy spells and I felt off balanced & very shaky. My husband, a close friend and a coworker thought I may have a concussion and advised me to get it checked out. I spent all day on the phone trying to get an appointment with a neurologist. I did get an appointment for the next day. Wednesday 17Feb2021, I still felt the same dizziness and I was lethargic. I had an appointment with the neurologist, Dr. (Name provided) at 2pm. I had a CAT scan and it was normal, no bleeding. The doctor said I had whiplash and a concussion. He did not find any other reason for my fainting, except for the side effects of the Pfizer vaccine. He told me, I just have to rest and the symptom from the concussion should subside in a few weeks. Wednesday 24Feb2021. The Dr.'s nurse called to see how I was. I told her there was not much improvement and that I was still having dizzy spells. She called me back after she related everything to the doctor He is concerned and wants to see me again on Monday 01Mar2021. He may do an MRI to see if there is anything else going on, other than the concussion. Friday 26Feb2021. I am still having dizzy spells. Monday 01Mar2021. I had another appointment with the neurologist at 9:30 am. I need to stay off work for another week and he will re-access me again next Monday. He says I have an imbalance in my inner ear from the fall and from the bangs I received on my head. He demonstrated some EPLEY exercise, that he wants me to do. The dizzy spells have not improved. I don't feel well at all. I cannot complete house hold tasks. I still cannot drive. I can'' go to work. I have used over 40 hours of sick leave already. Now I have to be off work for another week and probably longer. I am worried and I have no idea when I will fully heal, or when I will be able to get back to normal activities. Prior to getting the vaccine, I was an ardent runner. I exercised every day and exercise is very important to me. I don't know how long it will be before I can go back to work or back to my exercise routine. I would never be in this situation, if I had not taken the Pfizer vaccine. I feel I was overdosed. I think one shot of the Pfizer vaccine would have been sufficient. I just went through 12 months without getting Covid. My immune system is suppressed so I am seriously careful about picking up germs. I have been using sanitizer wipes and hand gel for years because of my immune system being suppressed. Long before the whole world heard about Covid, I was acutely aware of germs & viruses in public places. I am so sorry now that I got this Pfizer vaccine. I think I could have gone on living for the rest of my life, without catching Covid, because I am so careful. If I had to do it all again, I would not get this vaccine. The research was not completed. The trials were not long enough. The trails were conducted in a controlled setting. They do not know all the side effects. They do not know the extent of the adverse effect on anybody, never mind somebody with my suppressed immune system. They said the side effects could be chills, fever, flu symptoms, tiredness, joint pain, muscle pain and headache. Nobody told me I might pass out or faint. Nobody warned me. If I had known fainting was a possibility, I would not have been home on my own. The word needs to get out about this side effect. The media needs to know. The public needs to know. I do not want this to happen to anybody else. Since this happened to me, I heard or someone else, that also fainted. These vaccines need more research period."
