She has researched that worse adverse events happen to those who had a previous COVID-19 infection. She is curious whether she had a previous COVID-19 infection.

She stated it has been like eight days now and she is having a different side effect each day. She is uncomfortable. Initially stated she received the vaccine eight days ago. However, she is not sure the exact date, later stated it was about eight day ago. The first day she was fine. The second day she started to have arm pain. Stated something incomprehensible and attempted to clarify statement. She mentioned she gets vaccines all the time and knows it's normal to get arm pain, she has had arm pain before with vaccines, knows it can happen, so not trying to report on that.  She confirmed the arm pain is gone, it went away by day 4 and she has recovered completely from the arm pain. The third day she had pain in her shin. It is the bones at front of knee and ankles, that is what they call it in Ireland. She had shooting pain there and the back of her leg. Her muscles felt tight, calf muscles were tight. It was as if she was running a marathon. Her feet top of her feet were uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable to walk on she felt this on balls of her feet. The following night, her foot was sore and tender. She could feel it while sleeping. The top of her foot was sore, very tender. It was like she had been in accident. She is concerned about going for the second shot. She has nine other symptoms she has not reported yet that are directly from the vaccine. She wants to know about previous infections vs the vaccine. If she was previously infected could this be the reason why she is having such adverse reactions. If she was how can she find out if she was infected . If she was it has been over a year ago and she was never tested.   No follow-up attempts are needed; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.
