Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of alopecia, back pain, arthritis. Clinical course: The patient got the full series, got 3 shots. After having shot, got Covid 3 times, the disease and, 3 times, her hair fell out, all of it. Takes approximately for her, almost a year for hair to come back. Last time she had covid was Jan2024. Her hair obviously, still has not come back. When she first got Covid, was about 6 months after the first shot, from 04Feb2021. This is where it gets sticky. Last time she had it, in Feb2024, every bone in her body, her back, is still painful. Does not know if that had anything to do with it. It was inflammation of some sort, in Feb2024. Is just recovering from that. Lost a lot of weight, was at 115 pounds, it did get lowered to 100. Clarified, current weight as 115 pounds. Height used to be 5'4, she thinks, they told her, not anymore, is now 5'3. Clarified, she had Covid, a total of 3 times. Last one was Jan2024. Clarified, she had Covid in Feb2021, about 6 months after first Covid shot 04Feb2021, last time having Covid was Jan2024. Unable to clarify time of second time having Covid.  Going to say, they are about 6 months or so different, the time difference. Clarified, caller referring to 6 months difference between each time having Covid. Clarified again, first time having Covid was Jan2021 and most recent time was Jan2024. Hair fell out: Started as soon as got sick each time, with Covid. Each time, sickness lasted long, it was nonsense. Got really sick this time, does not even know if that was connected. Had trouble breathing, and was sick with nausea, things like that like. Clarified, hair started falling out within a week of being ill with Covid. Is done being sick but, hair still falling out. Outcome of event has not gotten any better. Is still falling out because, husband reminds her, every time she is standing at sink. Treatment: Vitamins, Biotin pills, well, they are capsules, not pills. Got really sick last time with Covid: Had trouble breathing all 3 times with Covid but, had a lot of people go to hospitals, put on ventilators and died so, she did not go to hospital. Went to doctor, got diagnosed with Covid, they gave her some medication that was supposed to help, guess to keep from going into getting infection. Other than this last time, does not know if coincidence but, she did not fall, was not in accident but, has pain in back. Was last summer, right after had other thing of Covid. Was some arthritis caused from inflammation of the bones. Never had it before. Does not know if related. Clarified, this was summer 2023. Outcome of event: Has gotten worse. Treatment: Got sent to pain center, there is doctor who gives her shots in the back. Test results: They did scan, it just showed mild arthritis in her back. Never had it before, does not know if coincidence. Vaccination Facility Type: Pharmacy or Drug Store. She had no prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). She does not have cancer on either side of family. AE required visit to Physician Office; Refused to go to hospital. Went to doctor's office, went through side door to get test, tested positive for Covid. When she asked if her husband should come, they told her no, unless he gets sick. Husband got all 3 shots, only got sick with Covid 1 time. The doctor thought it was because of his blood type. Caller declines further assistance, unless they have discovered some way to make her hair stop falling out and stop getting sick. Now, since Jan2024, only goes out, to go doctor's office because, she is afraid she will get exposed to it again.
