Clinical narrative: She got her vaccine, her arm was sore, she started feeling the pain on the left side of her shoulder, but it wasn't strong.  She started at about 2:00 started to experience a slight headache and started to feel nauseous.  Then, she took some Tylenol 650 ES and she was able to sleep for a few hours.  When she woke up in the morning the headaches were getting worse as well as the nausea.  She started feeling weak and the pain on the left side had spread throughout her body and felt like she was coming down with a cold.  She read the instructions that she was given including the symptoms which was the flu-like symptoms, etc, so she felt that she was going to have this for a few days.  By mid-afternoon the headaches were getting even worse and still feeling weak and taking Tylenol and resting.  By early evening about 5-6 she started vomiting and by that time she was very weak.  She was shivering with chills, had a fever and cold sweats and the headaches were even worse.  She did her best not to go to the hospital.  She was like this for a few days and continued to vomit and was loosing weight and was only on fluids due to the vomiting.  This continued for 2 weeks, and had some periods were it was not so bad.  After about a month she called her doctors office and scheduled an appointment as she was so weak and could not keep food down and still having the severe headaches.  When she went to the doctor he informed her not to take the 2nd vaccine, and he sent her home and told her if it continued to see him again or go to the ER.  He told her to see her neurologist for the headaches.  She went to see her neurologist the next day who gave her magnesium intravenously, nerve block injections and explained to him that this was since 4/4/21.  The following day she called him back as the nerve block and IV did not help as she was still weak and vomiting.  She then called her PCP who told her to go to the hospital where she was admitted.  She was given IV's.  By that time when they weighed her she had lost 8#.  She was in the hospital for 7 days and they finally submitted.  When she was discharged she was still having nausea but she was feeling better, she was still having headaches, but not as severe.  She waited so long as she felt that it was going to get better.  When she was discharged she was still weak, still had the body aches, was not feeling like herself, and she did not have much appetite.  She was having days about once a week or two weeks that she would vomit and continued with the nausea even with her favorite foods. She is a worship leader and was very busy with her church and had to take a leave as she was not able to sing and her throat was hurting a lot, which she contributed to the vomiting.  She then scheduled to see a specialist, allergist who specialized in voice.  She then had a scope done and he told her that she would not be able to sing for about a month and put her on medication.  She was informed that due to the vomiting that she developed reflux which was in her voicebox, and also laryngitis.  She also had periods when she would loose her voice completely.  He put her on two different medications and continued to see him until she was better.  When she last saw him she was told that the reflux was better, but her VM was still not right.    She used to walk a lot, which is her choice of her exercise and now since the vaccine she can only walk 5 blocks and cannot due to the fatigue.    She has tired that she is tired and can just sleep for long periods of time and lethargic.   She also continues to have the headaches are mild, but different from her migraine headaches and feels that they are due to the vaccine.   She does get migraines and has been admitted in the past as they have to be treated intravenously.  Usually the magnesium and the nerve blocks work but not always.  They headaches now come and go.
