Symptoms: Abdominal pain lower, Appendicectomy, Appendicitis, Asthenia, Asymptomatic COVID-19
Clinical narrative: I had a little bit of pain - like a tetanus shot when I first got the shot. That lasted overnight. I took Tylenol after the shot. Then about two weeks after, I had pain that felt like kidney stones (which run in my family). My mom got me to ER. They told me it was my appendix - in my lower right quadrant from back to front. I was tested for COVID and it was positive result but I was asymptomatic. I ate lunch and then it got really bad and I had surgery about 05:00 pm. on March 27th. It felt like I did a million sit-ups after the surgery. Everything checked out okay in follow up visit. I'm still not doing running at full strength - breathing isn't quite back to normal with my distance running. I can do 1 and 1/2 miles but if I try to do more, I get more easily winded. It's slowly getting better. I was 10 days in isolation after the surgery because of the COVID diagnosis. Had a COVID test after the quarantine and it was negative results (had it done at the fairgrounds on 4/7/2021)

Symptoms: Blood test normal, Cardiac flutter, Electrocardiogram normal, Ventricular extrasystoles
Clinical narrative: Almost a month after the vaccination I started to feel heart flutters, toward the bottom of my heart it was flutter. I have never felt flutters like this before. It was off and on throughout the day for like 10 to 15 minutes at a time.  I went to the doctor after a couple of weeks because one day I had the flutters for over an hour and it didn't seem like it was stopping. At the urgent care they  did an EKG and sent me to the Emergency Room and it stopped and told me to see a cardiologist. OnEaster, the fluttering started while I was asleep , I sat up and it continued and it wasn't stopping. In the morning it was still present. So I went to the Emergency Room , they kept me there most of the day, at 3:00 they decided to keep me overnight. They diagnosed me with ventricular trigeminy. The doctor increased my metoprolol. My cardiologist at a later appointment increased the metoprolol to 200 mg .

Clinical narrative: I don't know exact day/times. When I first noticed it, I had two red blotches maybe two to three inches in diameter and they were itchy and red and warm.

I contacted my DR probably after they had grown together, upon looking at my photos on my phone that was Feb 19th 2021. On Feb 20th I have more photos of the spots. I only had a phone consultation by the way.

Clinical narrative: The patient received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccination a few months prior (about 2 months prior) (patient unclear of specific month or day), and subsequently about 1 day after began to experience intermittent periods of lightheadedness, dizziness, vertigo, disequilibrium and blurring of vision which would last minutes at a time and was quite disabling. The patient reports these dizziness episodes started about 2 months ago and would occur 3-5 times per week. He gets really tight pressure on the top of the head (pressure-like headache), especially on the top R side, he would then go really lightheaded and the room would start spinning. He reports one time he was in church when the episode happened and then both of his ears were ringing; it felt like it went to the highest note it could possibly go and it hurt his ears bilaterally. These episodes would happen moreso during the daytime. He also experienced episodes of numbness that began in his R side of the face, spread across to the L side of the face, then spread into his tongue, down his left side of the neck, into the left arm and left chest/abdomen, then down the left leg. These episodes of numbness would tend to occur moreso at nighttime and would be associated with weakness in the same regions. The mainly left-sided numbness and hemiparesis would usually last about 5 minutes with complete resolution and would occur about 3 times per week.  However, on 6/15, when the patient woke up at 3AM to get ready for work he experienced a prolonged period of left-sided numbness and hemiparesis (lasted about 3 hours until 6AM), thus presented to the ED for further evaluation and management. MRI / MRA have shown pontine infarcts and L vertebral / proximal basilar occlusions

Clinical narrative: The patient received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccination a few months prior (about 2 months prior) (patient unclear of specific month or day), and subsequently about 1 day after began to experience intermittent periods of lightheadedness, dizziness, vertigo, disequilibrium and blurring of vision which would last minutes at a time and was quite disabling. The patient reports these dizziness episodes started about 2 months ago and would occur 3-5 times per week. He gets really tight pressure on the top of the head (pressure-like headache), especially on the top R side, he would then go really lightheaded and the room would start spinning. He reports one time he was in church when the episode happened and then both of his ears were ringing; it felt like it went to the highest note it could possibly go and it hurt his ears bilaterally. These episodes would happen moreso during the daytime. He also experienced episodes of numbness that began in his R side of the face, spread across to the L side of the face, then spread into his tongue, down his left side of the neck, into the left arm and left chest/abdomen, then down the left leg. These episodes of numbness would tend to occur moreso at nighttime and would be associated with weakness in the same regions. The mainly left-sided numbness and hemiparesis would usually last about 5 minutes with complete resolution and would occur about 3 times per week.  However, on 6/15, when the patient woke up at 3AM to get ready for work he experienced a prolonged period of left-sided numbness and hemiparesis (lasted about 3 hours until 6AM), thus presented to the ED for further evaluation and management. MRI / MRA have shown pontine infarcts and L vertebral / proximal basilar occlusions

Symptoms: Bacterial test negative, Influenza like illness, Influenza virus test negative, Odynophagia, Oropharyngeal pain
Clinical narrative: In early May my 2nd Moderna vaccine shot caused a typical flu like symptom for 48 hours and then back to normal.   About a month has passed and on June 11th I have started to feel like I had a sore throat, then the next day and since then I have an intense pain around my thyroid area  when swallowing and it feels sore to the touch.  My doctors office has taken swabs for flu and bacteria which have come up negative, and I am waiting on a Covid test which I presume will also be negative.  Currently they diagnosed me with Pharyngitis, and I believe that it is subacute thyroiditis as a reaction from the vaccine. I have not been sick or come in contact with any sick people, and have worn a mask everywhere out of my home.

Clinical narrative: After the first shot, I did get very sick during  the wee hours of the morning (shot was in the afternoon). I had chills, severe nausea and vomiting. It ceased about six hours later, though I was extremely tired the next couple of days. ***What I'm most interested in reporting*** is that my fingertips started tingling/numb/little "electric shocks" a couple or so weeks after the first shot, and are ***more intense and frequent after the second dose,***& which was given 04/02/21 (same location as first). My toes also tingled a bit after the first shot (several times a day), but that stopped and didn't happen after the second dose. I had no vomiting , chills, nausea or other traditional effects after the second dose. My fingertips tingle/are numb nearly all the time. The little shocks are several times a day (5-10+). It's not painful, per se, but is disconcerting and I'm concerned the effect is permanent.
