The blood sugar levels had been more under control until the got the UTI and started ciprofloxacin. She noticed her blood sugar is elevated. She also took supplements due to her osteoporosis.

Treatment: Is on Rybelsus and Jardiance daily, for her blood sugar. Remembers talking to her husband and crying because one of her really good friend had just died from Covid. All she could think of was, is this what it felt like for her for those 2 weeks, this pain. Then, got Omicron booster 20Nov2022. Was at daughter's house, wanted to be around people, in case there was reaction again. Got headache, kind of ached little bit. Took Tylenol, took nap, got up, was fine, that same day, 20Nov2022. One thing, with Omicron, that she never had before was, that her arm hurt. Knows some people complain about arm pain but her arm never hurt. Never had that with any other shots, just the Omicron. Arm pain lasted a while but, wasn't debilitating or anything. Hurt for several days. Thought it was curious that she didn't have that for any of the other shots. Clarified that the arm pain started that same day that she got the Omicron booster, 20Nov2022. It was a young kid that gave it to her. The other nurses that gave it to her the other times, when they gave the vaccinations, it didn't hurt going in and didn't hurt afterward. Suspect products: Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks): No. Last fall, got flu shot but, that wasn't connected to the other Covid vaccines. Takes blood pressure medication. Family Medical History Relevant to Adverse Events (AEs): Daughter got the vaccine. With the second vaccine, she developed a rash that lasted, she thinks 6 moths, was pretty bad. Doctor told her not to get booster. Could not go to work because she had to have vaccine and booster in. Then, she got Covid and then she could go to work. Clarified it was the Pfizer Covid vaccine. Caller declined to complete report on daughter's experience with Covid vaccine. Adverse Events: AE required visit to: check all that apply: No. When caller asked to complete report on husband's experience, that he died after receiving Covid booster, she states ok but, does not think that had anything to do with his death. She only mentioned it because she had a friend who is an antivaxer, who was having a fit that they were getting the vaccine and the booster. She told caller the day after they took it, that it was going to kill him. Then, husband died. Neither one of them ever got Covid. Caller still wears a mask. Doctor suggested to caller that she get another booster because she is going on a trip. Since she got the last on end of Nov2022, though it wasn't necessary. Caller asks call handler if they agree with this.Caller advised to address any questions regarding any medical advice with provider. Told doctor she wasn't going to get it and agreed. Caller is very grateful for the vaccine, it was developed in a very timely manner. Knows it had been in the works a long time. People were saying it is experimental, that is so new. Wish more people had just gotten the vaccine and wore a mask, so we would not be dealing with this 3 years later.
