Clinical narrative: She got her vaccine, it really hurt bad.  Aside from that it was just a typical sore arm that lasted for a few days and some tiredness.   SHe went to visit a friend in the hospital and possibly caught what she had.  She got sick then and has not been able to get well since then.  She has been back and forth to the doctor many times.  She has been on 5 coures of antibiotics (heavy duty stuff) for pneumonia, which she's okay for a day or two after she finishes it, then within a couple of days she comes down with something else.  When she comes down with something else it is worse than the previous reactions.  She is down to 108#, and hard to gain weight as she also has gatroparesis from hiatal hernia surgery and is no suffering from that.  She coughs so much that she throws up now.  It started as an annoying continuous dry cough, felt miserable. She has gone through nausea, and could not eat or drink as she was throwing it up.  She felt that she had a hernia and did a sonogram.  She just feels completely miserable, has no energy at all, takes 3 times to do dishes.  She is a volunteer at church and at the shelter and after she takes care of her animals she does not have the energy to take care of herself or feed herself.  The doctor says that it will take a while for her immune system to build back up.  Her immune system has been completely wiped out.  She is also on Prednisone and this keeps her awake at night.  She had some sort of steroid in her hip from the doctors.  She is also on zinc, garliq, probiotic, vitamin C, vitamin B.  She is now on so many things that she gets nauseated when she takes them, and varies them throught out the day and the combination just makes her nauseous.  Nothing seems to be working to build her immune system.  She is drinking orange juice which is causing reflux.  She is also eating a lot of kiwi as it has a lot of vitamin C, and doing everything that she possibly can to build up her immune system, and just not getting better.    They feel that the vaccine wiped out her immune system.  They want her to go to an allergies and a pulmonologist, and has an APT on 12/11/24 with allergist and pumonologist on 1/8/24.  She is also on a nasal wash.  She was at one time well for 5 days and then came down with something again.  That was longest period of feeling better since the vaccine.  She drinks vitamin water, regular water, and orange juice.  She does not drink any coffee, soda or anything caffeinated.    She is going to go to the ER tomorrow, and hopes that they admit her to see what is happening.  She is also having migraines, and takes migraine with that.  She is also taking Mucinex and this helps with her symptoms, and she cannot mask the symptoms and it only lasts for 4 hours and has to continue taking it.  The doctor won't give her any more antibiotics as she has had heavy duty stuff.  She cannot breath through her nose, chest is hurting from the congestion and plans on being admitted.  She is coughing up a lot of yellow crud.  She has also been feverish off and on, sweating and cold.
