She had numbness that goes away. She was concerned about the numbness. She had an allergic reaction within 10 minutes of getting the vaccine. The first few days she seemed to be in a deeper sleep. She had her alarm set and when she woke up, she felt really sleepy. She states it had worsened and then it plateaued. The numbness and tingling in her elbows started the middle of last week. It was off and on. The reaction lasted for about two hours.  She had not visited to ER for the AE events. She states she did not tell this to DSU, but she also had severe itching for 2 hours after the vaccine on her right arm, back, right ear and forehead. She wants to know if there have been any other reports of numbness/tingling. Her second dose is scheduled for 05Mar2021 and her MD does not recommend she get the second dose. He wants her to wait for 12 weeks after the first dose so there is potentially more information available about the side effects. She is very scared of the virus and wants to be protected. She doesn't want to get the second dose and be unable to walk or something. She had not heard of these conditions. She is asking whether it go away or be worse and should she get it at all. Had anyone experienced the numbness. Does it go away in "X" number of days. Should she be concerned.
