Symptoms: Chills, Fatigue, Hyperhidrosis, Injection site pruritus, Injection site reaction
Clinical narrative: After receiving my second Covid shot on Saturday, August 14th, I had a low grade fever of 99.5 and 99.7  for approximately 36 hours.  Other symptoms included aches, chills, fatigue.  On Monday, August 16th, I woke up with an enlarged lymph node near my left breast which was sore.  That lasted throughout the day and night.   During my sleep Monday night, I woke up in a sweat (I figured my fever had finally broken).  On the morning of Tuesday, August 17th, I woke up and felt much better.   My lymph node inflammation had subsided and the soreness was gone.  During the afternoon of the same day, I noticed itching at my injection site as well as around the edges of both of my ears and my ears felt a little bumpy.  By the evening, I had developed a red, itchy, bumpy rash on my left shoulder that wrapped around the top of my back to my right shoulder.  I applied some topical steroid cream (Triamcinolone Acetonide) that I had from a previous rash.  The following day, the rash worsened and spread down my upper arms.  I continued to treat the same way and started to take Benadryl (1 every 4 hours).  By the weekend, the rash had spread down my entire back and was very itchy.  It was also down to my forearms as well.  I purchased some Extra Strength Benadryl cream which I used throughout the day when not using the steroid cream.  I took cool showers as the heat seemed to worsen the rash quite a bit.  On Monday, August 23rd, the rash had not gotten any better so I went to urgent care.  Dr was the clinician who saw me and he stated that this was a reaction from the vaccine.  Due to my sensitivity to systemic steroids and that a steroid would affect the efficacy of the vaccine, he prescribed me more of the Triamcinolone Acetonide cream and suggested replacing my daily Allegra for Zyrtec as that is better with reactions and to continue the Benadryl as needed.  I followed this regimen daily and am slowly getting better.  As of today's date (September 1), I am still itchy on parts of my back, my stomach, arms, and legs.  The rash has spread to my buttocks, thighs and calves as well as to the sides of my lower arm area and the tops of my hands.  My scalp is also still itchy.  I continue to use the Zyrtec and steroid cream daily and Benadryl at night along with the Benadryl cream (as needed).    Note that I had no reaction to my first COVID shot but a sore injection site and mild fever that lasted less than 24 hours.

Symptoms: Dizziness, Dyspnoea, Fall, Pharyngeal swelling
Clinical narrative: Soon after receiving the shot, the patient felt light-headed and fell off her chair onto the floor (luckily, a thick wool hat caught the fall). Shortly after that, she complained of throat swelling and difficulty breathing. No redness was observed. Patient was coherent but appeared out of it and sometimes had difficulty sitting up in her chair. The swelling became worse and she stated it was becoming very difficult to breath and that her vision was blacking out. At this point, I administered an EpiPen injection as a technician contacted 911. Soon after receiving the Epi dose, the patient's breathing and vision improved and within a few minutes she was breathing without difficulty. Approximately 10-15 minutes after Epi injection, paramedics arrived. Although her condition had improved, advice from paramedics convinced her to go to the hospital. This was her first dose of any Covid vaccine. No medical history is known for this patient.

And then the 26th, I woke up and my throat was killing me and it was hurting so bad. I ran to the mirror to see if I could see if my tonsils were infected. They weren't infected but throat was flaming red and swollen. They took a strep test. It wasn't strep. He gave me a prescription for amoxicillin and I didn't take it since I wanted the booster to do it's job. I started gargling three times a day with salt water. By Saturday, 28th, I couldn't talk at all and it hurt so bad to swallow. I started taking ibuprofen for the pain. 29th, the swelling went down a little bit but it still hurt to swallow and I couldn't talk still. I thought it was Laryngitis. Thirtieth - on Monday - when I woke up in the morning, I could swallow with no problem except it felt like something was still there and I went to the mirror and I saw that there was a pocket of pus - a little one. I kept gargling with salt water all day on Monday. On Tuesday it was all gone. Today, I still have a raspy throat but as of yesterday swelling and redness is gone, etc. I am tired, though.

Clinical narrative: Received shot, no abnormal pain with injection. Within 3 mins, my left arm went numb, cold and then varied between numb and tingly from just below the injection site to my fingertips. This is still present and remains unchanged after 24 hours. Also, i had a sensation of a rolling needle in  straight line from left shoulder to my right shoulder, then up my neck from my shoulder line to my hair line. That was only once immediately after the first arm numbness, within the 3 mins after the shot. I sat down, I was not anxious or overly worried. I alerted the pharmacist who requested I stay additional time. After 1o -15 mins my face went numb and then tingly on the left side from jaw line to midway my chin and to my nose level.  The tingly stopped after a few minutes on my face but the numb feeling (similar to a feeling of being numbed at the dentist that has worn off some). I can smile, and control my movements and tehre is no drooping, just feels numb. This remains after 24 hours though not as pronounced. I went straight to the ER at the advice of the pharmacist and the nurse on call at my primary doctor's office (called afterhours on call).  I was checked for an allergic reaction, ruled out. I had an EKG and CT scan, which were clear. My blood work was clear. I was diagnosed with an adverse reaction to the vaccine. It was recommended that I follow up with my physician and have a possible MRI if symptoms remained after a few days. I have requested an appt with my physician and am still experiencing the same symptoms.  Today, my left side (same side as vaccination site and symptoms), my neck,  more of my face, my underarm area and area over my ribs, have tingled off and on at an intense rate. I have puffiness and tenderness over my rib area on my left side that was not present until today. I am not sore, I do not feel sick.   The only tender spot is across my ribs. My vision is good, no headache, no nausea. I was not sick, or experiencing any of these symptoms prior to the vaccination.
