She says her second dose is 23Apr and she cannot go through with that after seven days of this. She says that she emailed her cardiologist and and primary doctor about what do about the second shot, and they said different things, so she is looking for a tie breaker, and seeking advice about getting the second one. She says she needs help and is not well. She says she can't get out of bed; people are not supposed to get chills 7 days after anything, this is off the wall, and she can't make it to the mailbox to even get mail. She says this has lasted about 200 hours. She says she has been getting texts from VSafe or some other place each day asking how she is, but no one seems to care. Caller says she isn't working thank God because she would have been fired for not being able to go into work.
