Additional information: Caller was calling about herself, looking for a little bit of guidance.  She received her shot three weeks ago today.  Since she received the vaccination, she has been experiencing dizziness, brain fog, and headaches off and on.  She adds that she has not been feeling like herself.  She has been to a bunch of doctors, and they do not know what to tell her. She was due to get the 2nd dose of the vaccine tonight, but she is postponing until she sees a neurologist next week and gets a brain MRI. The site where she received her first vaccine was a (Vaccination Site) in (Vaccination City), and they handed her a piece of paper that says one of the severe reactions is dizziness.  They gave her a second form that says if somebody gets a severe reaction, they should not be vaccinated there again, but there is not phone number or email address or information for the facility. She does not know if her reaction counts as a severe reaction.  It has been for 3 full weeks since she has been vaccinated. She adds that if all of these tests are clear should she get vaccinated, or is she a part of the group that should not be vaccinated. Dizziness: Caller adds that dizziness is not room spinning and falling over, it is motion sickness.  It is the weirdest feeling.  Blood work was clear.  She went to the Emergency Room, CAT scan was clear, two ENTs gave her a clear bill of health and they did not know what to tell her.  She adds that they told her she needs to contact the people who gave her the vaccine. Postponed second vaccine: Caller was supposed to get the vaccine in 30 minutes, but she does not feel comfortable getting it.  She is a little afraid, which sucks because she was looking forward to it.Caller clarifies the site where she received the vaccination was a (Vaccination site) vaccination clinic, huge vaccination clinic in (Vaccination location) ran by (Vaccination site) and military.  It was given by marines, and her shot was given by a marine. Caller adds that she has never wanted to go to the doctor and them say yes seven things are wrong, but she is looking for guidance and she asked her doctor including the ER if it could be vaccine related and should she still be getting vaccinated and they do not know.  She has asked 5 doctors.  She does not know who else to ask.  Everybody says they do not know. Caller did file through the VAERS and VSAFE but is not sure it it is the same thing.  She said she did get an e-mail she would be able to give, and she does not think this was on the Pfizer website. caller does not have a primary doctor, she just found somebody today. She has a primary doctor who she used up until now but has not seen in over a year.  Caller does not provide additional details. Dizziness: Caller started to notice it on 08Mar2021 a few days after her vaccine.  She felt weird for a few days after her vaccine.  She got her vaccine on Thursday afternoon, then on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday felt a little weird.  It was not like she was standing up and the room was spinning, she just felt a little off.  It became concerning on Monday when it just did not seem like it was going away.  She still has it, and it has gotten a little bit better for sure but it feels like she is on a boat or that she has motion sickness but without nausea.  She has not taken anything for it because all the doctors said they can not find the cause so they have not given her anything. Brain fog: this started the day after the vaccine, 05Mar2021.  She chalked it up to the vaccine, and that her body is fighting this and that it was not a big deal.  It has gotten a little bit better but has continued. Headaches: started basically the same day of the vaccine, that evening.  They come and go.  Sometimes, she has no headache all day and sometimes she has one for just a little bit of time, but they come and go, and they are not constant. Treatments: Caller did not take anything for brain fog.  For headaches, she went to urgent care and the hospital.  Urgent care gave her Tylenol and Zofran. At the hospital, they gave her Tylenol and Reglan in case of nausea.  She hates taking medication, it makes her stomach upset.  She also tried Ibuprofen at home since the Tylenol did not seem like it was working.  Headaches go away by themselves. The headaches don't seem to come on like how she sometimes gets tension headache and she knows the cause like a stressful day or she did not eat enough and she knows where they come from.  These headaches come out of nowhere and then they just go away as quickly as they come on, sometimes they last a little longer.  Nothing she can figure out like the tension headaches.  She thought maybe it was not related to the vaccines, sometimes it is not great and they hangout for a while and sometimes they go away quickly. Tylenol: caller states Tylenol was not helping so she took ibuprofen at home, she does not know the dosage information of the medications.  She did not take them on the same day. She took them on different days.  The day she went to urgent care, she took ibuprofen in the morning and they gave her Tylenol when she got there.  Caller clarifies this was on 17Mar2021. The Tylenol was administered while she was there, they gave her Tylenol and a Zofran tablet.  Caller can not find anything regarding doses, or requested NDC LOT Expiration or anything in the paperwork that she has. Not feeling like self: caller adds she feels off, not like herself.  She had brain fog, was feeling off, can not concentrate.  She noticed this on 08Mar2021 and it is still going on, it has gotten a little bit better for sure but still not back to normal. CBD: She uses every once in a while, for anxiety.  Dose says per dropper.  There is a dose but it is like per full dropper but she does not use a full dropper.  She uses 1 or 2 drops of it.  She has been using about a year and a half.  Caller adds she has an inhaler that is very rarely used, and was not used before the vaccination.  Does not provide any additional details.  Caller clarifies that the Urgent Care was (Hospital Name).  This was on 17Mar2021.  There were no additional tests that they did except for blood pressure.  Caller also was at the emergency room on 18Mar2021, she was not admitted to the hospital, but she arrived around noon and left around 4:30 or 5 pm.  Caller adds she also saw two specialists - ENT for sinuses on this past Monday 22Mar2021 and an ENT for ears who looked at her ears today 25Mar2021. Earaches: Caller adds that another reason she went to the ear doctor was because of balance and because she was getting bits of earaches but nothing crazy that was extended periods of time.  It would come and go. They thought maybe it was residual from headaches but she is not sure if it was not constant if that makes a difference. This happened pretty soon after the first vaccine, it was a symptom that evening and went away and then it would pop up and it was back.  Every once in a while, it is annoying for a little while but the ear doctor said there is nothing wrong. Caller clarifies Tylenol was administered by a doctor at urgent care and the hospital. Caller asks if this is normal or something else that people are reporting?  Is this a cause?  She would like a little bit more information because she really wants to get fully vaccinated but also does not want to get worse.  She is walking a fine line weighing pros and cons.Caller filing AEs regarding the Covid19 vaccine.
