Clinical narrative: This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 58-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 at 57-year-old, via an unspecified route of administration in arm left on 31Mar2021 at single dose, and the second dose at 57-year-old via an unspecified route of administration on 21Apr2021 at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation, and testosterone, via an unspecified route of administration from an unspecified date to an unspecified date at an unspecified dose for an unspecified indication. Medical history included COVID-19 from Dec2020, and left arm bothered him. There were no concomitant medications. Patient reported his tongue and taste buds were "screwed up" and it had been painful to eat which had resulted in weight loss of 50 pounds in the last 5 months and this had gotten worse since being vaccinated. He was fatigued and his whole body hurt and sports injuries from past were very painful. He had previous Covid infection in Dec2020. He had seen many doctors and had an appointment with neurologist coming up. He didn't have much hope. He felt like he had 75% Covid all the time and his body felt like he had been hit by a truck. Not really that bad but like his taste buds were screwed up and it kind of progressed since he received the vaccine. Ever since the patient got the vaccine, the arm that he got the vaccine in it killed him, every joint in his body hurt, and he had seen lots of doctors about this and no one could figure it out. The patient was 250 pounds before this started. Patient was having something wrong with his tongue and taste buds, it was hard to explain. It was painful to eat, the patient had been to an ENT and they were sending the patient to neurology to figure it out. The tongue thing went away they thought it was thrush, then talked to another ENT and thought it was something neurological. The patient's whole body hurt. The patient was unsure when all of this started but he stated that it had worsened over the last couple of months. The patient's mouth was in pain. The patient was fatigued. The patient's left arm bothered him before the vaccine but it had progressively gotten worse over time. All of the symptoms that the patient had from COVID got progressively worse after the vaccine. The patient's arms were really lose and it felt like the arms wanted to come out of the socket. The pain could be a 9/10 and nothing touched it. The day after the first shot, the patient got testosterone shots, they found and erratic heartbeat which freaked out the patient. They did and EKG and said it was okay but couldn't determine what it was. Patient was tested and it showed hypothyroid and they did an intake test. The doctors thought it was thyroiditis but that got better but then it snowballed into what it was. Investigations: The patient was tested for cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and all sorts of different things which were all negative. The patient was a healthy guy otherwise, besides these symptoms. Action taken in response to the events for testosterone was unknown. Outcome of events his tongue and taste buds were "screwed up", the arm that he got the vaccine in it kills him/left arm bothered him before the vaccine but it had progressively gotten worse over time, every joint in his body hurt, and erratic heartbeat was not resolved, and of other events was unknown.  No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.
