Clinical narrative: inflammatory polyneuropathy; Sensory neuropathy; Small fiber neuropathy; bilateral ascending tingling; twitching; numbness in her feet, especially the left foot/ It is affecting her entire body, face, tongue, and mouth; numbness in her feet, especially the left foot/ It is affecting her entire body, face, tongue, and mouth; The pain; describes as internal vibration; transverse myelitis; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP) for a Pfizer sponsored program. The reporter is the patient.  A 49 year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), administered in arm left, administration date 09Mar2021 15:30 (Lot number: EN6198) at the age of 49 years as dose 1, single and administered in arm right, administration date 30Mar2021 15:30 (Lot number: EN6208) at the age of 49 years as dose 2, single for covid-19 immunisation. Relevant medical history included: "Epilepsy" (ongoing), notes: Had for over 6 years. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks).  The following information was reported: MYELITIS TRANSVERSE (medically significant) with onset Mar2021, outcome "recovered", described as "transverse myelitis"; POLYNEUROPATHY (medically significant) with onset 09Mar2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "inflammatory polyneuropathy"; PERIPHERAL SENSORY NEUROPATHY (non-serious) with onset 09Mar2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "Sensory neuropathy"; SMALL FIBRE NEUROPATHY (non-serious) with onset 09Mar2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "Small fiber neuropathy"; PARAESTHESIA (non-serious) with onset 09Mar2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "bilateral ascending tingling"; MUSCLE TWITCHING (non-serious) with onset 09Mar2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "twitching"; HYPOAESTHESIA (non-serious), HYPOAESTHESIA ORAL (non-serious) all with onset 09Mar2021, outcome "not recovered" and all described as "numbness in her feet, especially the left foot/ It is affecting her entire body, face, tongue, and mouth"; PAIN (non-serious) with onset 09Mar2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "The pain"; TREMOR (non-serious) with onset 09Mar2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "describes as internal vibration". Patient started having symptoms the day of the first dose. She was misdiagnosed. The events started after the first dose but she has had both doses. Patient got the diagnoses on 15Sep2021, they did a skin punch biopsy. Patient has also had nerve conductions studies, no results stated. Outcome was worse during the 5-7 months time frame when she had what she described as internal vibration, right now it was about the same. The events are all the time, 24/7. No one can get it to stop. At first it was thought it was something else, she was pro-vaccine and never thought that was the cause but everything started within 2 weeks of getting the first shot. She didn't know it was because of vaccine. It has never gone away. During the 5-7 months time it got to be alarming and concerning and was still those things actually. She had no relief of symptoms; she counted in minutes for the time that she did not have the symptoms but it was never long periods that it was resolved. Because of being in her mouth and tongue she was concerned it will move to more internal organs. She was told had a Guillain-Barre event from the vaccine but was not diagnosed correctly, but they do think she had Myelitis, meaning it was not across the spinal cord but side by side; this did go away. She has had doctors, has acknowledge the vaccine is related to the events, well her primary doctor and one neurologist. The patient wants it know that had she been the patient 5 or 10 years ago she would have been diagnosed correctly but now because of the political climate no one has the courage to acknowledge it was due to the vaccine. This is causing her to not getting accurate care. Before if a person had been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre they would have been told to never get any vaccine, but instead she was told to go ahead and get it. She is not making it up. She had to see neurologist number 4 to get diagnosed. No event resulted in emergency room. The events "transverse myelitis", "inflammatory polyneuropathy", "sensory neuropathy", "small fiber neuropathy", "bilateral ascending tingling", "twitching", "numbness in her feet, especially the left foot/ it is affecting her entire body, face, tongue, and mouth", "numbness in her feet, especially the left foot/ it is affecting her entire body, face, tongue, and mouth", "the pain" and "describes as internal vibration" were evaluated at the physician office visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: biopsy skin: (15Sep2021) unknown results; nerve conduction studies: (15Sep2021) unknown results. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of polyneuropathy, peripheral sensory neuropathy, small fibre neuropathy. Treatments: going to be taking low-dose Naltrexone.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
