It was reported that, she was speaking with covid symptoms before and asked if these were normal. Her symptoms all began after her second vaccination. After the second shot she was very tired, had chills and was dizzy. Dizziness started the next day after the vaccine. Chills, tiredness also lingering on and off. Then they were gone and then they come back. They would come and go. Her last shot was the 10Mar. Then on Friday and Saturday she experienced a lot of chills and very very tired. Sunday she felt better and went for a walk and come back. She had lunch and went back to sleep. The other weird symptom she felt her nose very stuffy. She thought maybe she had a little pimple or something in her nose. She started touching her nose and felt like it was numb, like anesthesia. For two days she had took Claritin to rule out an allergy. She also had swollen hands and swollen face. Patient asked if patients have these effects after 15 days. Patient stated that, she had a lot of reactions that she suspected were from the vaccine. Her therapist told her she should report them. Her symptoms were on and off. She was dizzy and tired the day after her vaccination. Felt very tired and then it went away. It came on again, the tiredness and then she woke up one day and felt like she had a virus. Her eyes were small and her nose felt swollen. She thought she was getting a cold but she never got a cold. Patient stated that this past weekend was very bad, she was lying on the sofa all day Saturday and felt extremely weak and dizzy. She went for a walk, came back and had lunch. After lunch she couldn't even collect her dish and just went straight to lay back on the sofa. Then Sunday morning she felt well. Her hands were swollen one morning over the weekend, or might be Friday. Her eyes and face swelling with her eyes being really small. These symptoms were gone after about 3 days. Her upper gums were swollen, stated she didn't identify that when her nose felt stuffy, really it was that her upper gums were swollen and numb like when she goes to the dentist and has anesthesia. Her gums were still feeling that way. She contacted her doctor, who told her to give it another week. She was concerned, it had been over 12 days. She still had the chills a lot on and off. She had them today, right now and said it didn't seem to go away. She cold not think of the right word for one of them. Stated her weirdest symptom to her was her upper gums. Over a week ago she thought she was getting a cold. She did not identify what was happening with her gums at that time. She was watching a movie and started touching up close to her nose and realized how her gums felt numb and weird. She was taking an antihistamine just to rule out to her if this could be an allergy. Said she doubted it because she was not allergic to anything. She had also used a neti pot, salt water, to rule out to her inflammation in her sinuses. Had done this twice but still felt the same. Tiredness was still the same. She felt it seems so weird as it has been a long time since the vaccine. she was bundling up as she was freezing. She had not left the house in a year except to grocery store. Wanted to feel safe. Had a son with a disability, he did not have the vaccine. They were his only family, friend, or anything that he had. They couldn't allow him at home and this was the way they could feel safe. Patient denied any testing, labs, treatments, emergency room visits, or physician office visits in regards to these events. Stated again that she called her primary care provider who told her if the symptoms didn't subside in a week to go and see her. Patient took treatment with Claritin Non-Drowsy 10mg. It just said to took one on the label. She clarified the product as Loratadine. Provided expiration date as May2022. The outcome of the events was unknown.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
