After about 8 hours, the previous welts spread to all heat spots on my body, both sides, lymph nodes appeared to swell underarm. Itching over entire body to such an extent it was "driving me crazy" --  I took 2 Benadryl with no impact; then took 2 Prednisone 5 mg, then forced myself to ignore itching while sitting in my recliner the rest of the night.  Fell asleep about 2 hours later. When I awoke after 4 hours, the itching and welts were gone.  Within another 6 hours I was able to eat regular diet with no nausea or other side effects. At first, I thought this was diverticulitis because I had eaten popcorn -- but the worst diverticulitis has ever done to me is mild diarrhea and occasional nausea.  Never any of these other issues.

Symptoms: Pallor, Rash
Clinical narrative: Rash developed on thigh about 2 weeks after the 1st Pfizer vaccine; NOTHING else in life is novel, ie, no new foods, detergents, soaps; no traveling, no guests, and the patient abhors the outdoors so insect involvement is extremely unlikely. Rash was reported to me (Mom) on Thursday, April 1st. There was one spot/lesion that was oval and larger than the others, with a somewhat blanched center.  No itch or pain. Friday the 2nd, patient reported around 5:00 p.m. that it had spread to his sides, so I called the nurse healthline.. Saturday a.m. per recommendation I took him to Urgent Care; it had by then also spread to his stomach. The doctor there didn't have any "A-HA!!" moment, but sent us off with a prescription for a clotrimazole/betamethasone topical cream. The rash is now heavily populating his stomach, is on his back and there are a couple spots on his arm. I contacted his primary care manager this morning as we are to receive our 2nd Pfizer vaccines day after tomorrow (Wed, 4/7) and I'm wondering if he should get his as planned or whether that might be a bad idea.
