Clinical narrative: I went in and as I was sitting there, I used my inhaler, so they came over to talk to me and made sure there wasn't anything they needed to know. I just told them that I have asthma and I was running late so I ran through parking lot and that's what kicked up my asthma. So, I got my second shot and they asked me to go sit down and within 5 minutes they asked me to come sit in the back and watch me. I was shaky and nauseous. And I just did not feel right. So, I called a friend of mine and asked her for a favor, so I used a ride share service her over to the clinic to take me home then I used a ride share to send her home. So, I came home and I just did not feel good and laid down. That was probably around 2pm. I laid down and I remember it was around 7pm, all of a sudden, my right eye went completely black. I couldn't see a thing and my left eye was really fuzzy. And that lasted for about an hour. And then my sight came back but it was super fuzzy. And I'm a caregiver and an author and I couldn't drive, and I couldn't see well. So, I had to call in sick for caregiving. And as far as being an author, I lost my job because of this. I wrote for a music magazine, and I had interviewed some artists and I had 3 articles that needed to be written. And I could not read my notes, so I needed someone to read them for me. And the only way I could read on my computer is to use 42 font. Everything was so fuzzy. And it lasted like that until maybe 3 weeks ago. And so, the 3 articles I wrote, my boss was really unhappy with, and I lost my job. And as far as caregiving goes, luckily, I worked for the same people long enough to know where everything is for them. I was basically doing everything in braille. I could not read well up until about 3 weeks ago and it's starting to get better. Driving scared me like crazy. In May, I was in the backyard with a neighbor and I got really dizzy and I thought I'm going to go lay on the grass and lay down, but I didn't think I was going to make it and went to my patio. My neighbor said that I slumped over, and my head started shaking and I was drooling and I wet myself really badly. All I know is that I've had 3 seizures since then. There are a few times since then that I'm not completely sure if I had them in my sleep. I started sleeping with towels under me to make sure, and they were wet. I probably had 7 seizures since May. My last one I believe I might have had a small one last week, did not wet myself last week, but probably had a small one last week, so that would be 8 seizures. And once I have these seizures, I can't do anything after for 3 days. That's another reason why I hired a caregiver. I couldn't see and I was having seizures. And I live alone. I really think the seizures are coming from the vaccine. I've never had anything like that before nothing. I have not felt well since my second vaccine. My balance has also not been good since then. I'm scared to get a booster - I don't know if I fall under the immunocompromised because I do have asthma. I was also born with a compromised immune system. They've known that as a baby.  I will talk to my PCP about whether or not I should get the booster. My appointments have all been on zoom. I did talk to my GP - I told him about it and he's extremely pro vaccine - brushed it off.
