Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Injection site erythema, Injection site induration, Petechiae, Rash
Clinical narrative: Hi, I'm reporting regarding myself, but am leaving my name off because I don't want to be denied access to a vaccine over nothing. I read that some people, are having a rare reaction that's more severe involving their blood vessels I thought maybe it's on a spectrum; So, I am perfectly fine and am, in general, in fantastic health for my age across the board; however, I do have a lot of bright red petechiae since getting the shot. Since getting the shot my breasts and chest are covered in petechiae (they are somewhat weighty and gravity pulls on them and I assume that's why in this area) I also have them along the areas where my skin makes contact when I sit, and I do spend 8 hours sitting during workdays. I received the shot on Monday, at the same time as the flu shot. I also noticed a red, hard spot at the site where the Covid vaccination was injected. I also have some little bumps on my stomach and around the groin and hip areas.  I've had quite a few covid shots. I'm not sure if I've had this reaction to it before, but thought I'd let you know since mild reactions aren't often reported, and I thought what's mild in a fit and healthy person like myself might have  a more extreme version for somebody else. When I read there is an extreme reaction relating to veins, I thought, it might be useful to you to know of mild reactions. Maybe those reactions are on a spectrum? Maybe not. Best regards.

Clinical narrative: Day of vaccine, no reaction, no discomfort. On Wednesday, 5 days later, I noticed a very sore left arm and a left side stiff neck. I took some Tylenol and didn't think too much about it.  On Thursday October 10, I woke up with a more widespread stiff neck on both right and left sides.  As day progressed, the muscle pain got worse spreading to my left hip and back, left choulder, down my left arm.  I couldn't move my neck at all and I couldn't get out of bed as pain was excruciating.  I took more of my muscle relaxers, robaxin, applied heat, and e-stim to my neck nothing helped.  By Friday morning I was in so much pain, it would have been impossible to go to a clinic or my doctor's office.  I keep a methylprednisone pack prescribed by my rheumatologist in case of a flair up.  So I stated the dosing as prescribed on Friday morning, October 18.  No noticeable relief on Friday.  Saturday, I woke up with minimal relief and continued the Day 2 of the 7 day Methylpredinose pack.  Slight improvement throughout the day.  Still same left side involvement, but less intense.  Will continue the Methylpredinose pack through completion.  Also continuing heat, e-stim, muscle relaxers, and pain medication to help resolve this reaction.
