Clinical course: Patient called in seeking assistance with the medications Turmeric and curcumin. Patient stated that she can't clean her house, she can't do nothing. It's terrible that this happened because the vaccine exploded in her immune system and caused her rheumatoid arthritis. She was done for the rest of her life it didn't go away. Now she had to struggle to get something to help her, it was not fair. Patient later stated that she was in so much pain. It was not an easy thing people go through when you got this. You can't even do your work, you can't do your dishes, you can't clean your stove. This thing really put her in a bad situation this was very sad. She was going through a depression because her life had got destroyed, she was a strong person she did her work she did everything for herself today she didn't have that she can't do anything her husband do everything, her husband cook, her husband help clean. Patient indicated she had the Pfizer Vaccine and the vaccine exploded in her immune system. Was in bad pain, really hurting her, can't use her hand, painful on the joint, couldn't sleep last night. Was very upset. Used turmeric and needed help with the turmeric because she was told it helped. Turmeric, she was using the fresh one. Clarified she can't buy the turmeric pills because the pills didn't have all the ingredients in it, made with cumin pill and make other ingredients in the set. But it didn't work that way to have cumin in the turmeric and her insurance didn't pay for it. Found the turmeric on the shelf and it was not a prescription. Bought fresh turmeric, grated it, put black pepper in it. But can't afford it. Bought some turmeric yesterday. Her hands were hurting her so bad and it was the only thing helping her right now. Clarified that she didn't have any questions. Her HCP said the Pfizer Vaccine exploded in her immune system. She had rheumatoid arthritis, the really bad one. Tired of asking people for money for her medicine and for the turmeric. Asked if Pfizer can help her buy it every month. She had to buy it every week. Pfizer Vaccine took her life away from her. Her pharmacist who gave her the Pfizer Vaccine shot reported it first when her hand swelled and she was in pain so her pharmacist got scared and reported it to Pfizer. Patient stated that they sent a form out to her and she was sick and she couldn't fill it.  The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
