The following information was reported: MYELITIS TRANSVERSE (caused and prolonged hospitalization, disability, life threatening) with onset 01Oct2021, outcome "unknown", described as "Transverse Myelitis"; HYPOAESTHESIA (non-serious), PARAESTHESIA (non-serious) all with onset 01Oct2021, outcome "not recovered" and all described as "fingers, hands having numbness and tingling"; BURNING SENSATION (non-serious) with onset 01Oct2021, outcome "unknown", described as "burning"; PAIN (non-serious) with onset 01Oct2021, outcome "unknown", described as "some pain"; NERVOUSNESS (non-serious) with onset 01Oct2021, outcome "unknown", described as "jolting sensations"; NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDER (non-serious) with onset 01Oct2021, outcome "unknown", described as "the caller's major problems are neurological damage"; BALANCE DISORDER (non-serious) with onset 01Oct2021, outcome "unknown", described as "having very bad balance issues, tipping over a lot". The patient was hospitalized and prolonged hospitalization for myelitis transverse (start date: 10Dec2021, discharge date: 23Dec2021, hospitalization duration: 13 day(s)). The events "transverse myelitis", "fingers, hands having numbness and tingling", "fingers, hands having numbness and tingling", "burning", "some pain", "jolting sensations", "the caller's major problems are neurological damage" and "having very bad balance issues, tipping over a lot" were evaluated at the physician office visit and emergency room visit.  The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: computerised tomogram: (unspecified date) negative; (10Dec2021) normal, notes: Unit: Not Provided; magnetic resonance imaging head: (10Dec2021) lesion on brain, c2 lesion and t8 lesion, notes: Unit: Not Provided; magnetic resonance imaging neck: (10Dec2021) lesion on brain, c2 lesion and t8 lesion, notes: Unit: Not Provided; magnetic resonance imaging spinal: (10Dec2021) lesion on brain, c2 lesion and t8 lesion, notes: Unit: Not Provided. Additional information: Seriousness Criteria: Disabling and life threatening. The patient's diagnosis can actually effect the lungs and breathing could cese and the patient could end up on a ventilator or dead. At this point, the patient is just disabled but it could go the other route. Does Pfizer care to know what happened to the patient? Covid Vaccine Injury: Transverse Myelitis: The patient was absolutely vaccine injured. The patient clarified the Covid vaccine injury, the patient has been diagnosed with disease or syndrome, called both, named Transverse Myelitis. Transverse Myelitis is a very rare condition caused only by infection or vaccine. The caller had no infection so it is quite clear and simple the Transverse Myelitis was caused by the Adult Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The timing and such, the caller knows caller had full blow symptoms by 01Oct2021. Started for the caller in fingertips and eventually led to hands and forearms up to elbows. Those symptoms were strictly at that time paresthesia, numbness, burning and tingling and some pain but pain wasn't bad at the time. The rest of the way the caller had bad pain. Up in the hands wasn't bad pain, but a bother. The caller was dropping a lot of things. This rolled into holiday and the caller was dropping lots of ornaments, dropped at least a dozen. When dropping kitchen things or making meals the caller thought couldn't believe arthritis this bad at 63, fingers don't look like arthritis and the caller knew better as a nurse arthritis doesn't cause all this numbness and tingling. The caller is very worked up over what happened. The caller was dropping lots of things and blaming on arthritis, but knew it was neuro and would have to have a work up in neuro. Didn't want to go down the neuro rabbit hole with all the testing and slow process. Caller had plans to drive to a wedding and couldn't have checked out, didn't know what was going on. Dealing with fingers, hands, up forearms, didn't like the was it was traveling, that bothered the caller. Full blown did not come in yet. Thanksgiving weekend, got such bad backache, bad back pain goes with Transverse Myelitis diagnosis. Caller has a bad back, so blaming on caller's bad back. By 23Nov2021, a blanket of numbness and tingling came in like no other, pain and burning, jolting sensations as though being stuck by lightening. Once again, full blow neuro and the caller thought oh my gosh, the Adult Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The caller knows by 01Oct2021, two weeks to the day post vaccine caller had symptoms, may have come in a little before 01Oct2021. Caller states its rotten to text because the caller's fingers are so bad and that's how caller remembers. Transverse Myelitis: On 06Dec2021 the caller went to PCP because couldn't stand anymore and knew had to start. The caller was trying to get to the end of the year and roll into new year because of deductible and didn't' want to meet deductible at end of the year.  The caller thought wasn't so severe, realizing probably coming from Adult Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The PCP who is an APRN did not say the caller had Transverse Myelitis, the APRN thought it was just the caller's back. The caller did not get an MRI because insurance wouldn't give it. The caller called the HCP office screaming and didn't know in 30 years how far could tip before becoming paralyzed. Caller told HCP office caller was right there, teetering on the edge of full blow paresthesia, numb and frozen cold up to bottom part of bra. Upper part of caller's body not as frozen, lower completely gone. Coming out of bed in the morning the caller virtually almost could not feel legs. Caller is still standing on walker but barely. Caller couldn't believe caller was waiting for MRI. When the HCP office heard the word paralyzed, that got the person's attention at the office and the APRN said to go to the hospital. On 10Dec2021 the caller went to the hospital and that is the beginning of the neurologist. The caller was going to be discharged from the ER and because had a neuro consult, the neurologist said no, caller is being admitted. The caller had a CAT scan of the brain and nothing was wrong and said caller was going home. The caller had an MRI of brain with three lesions. One lesion on brain, one lesion on cervical neck and one lesion thoracic spine. None of the lesions showed up on the CAT scan and the caller was almost sent home. The CAT scan was negative. the MRI showed three lesions, one on brain, one at C2 cervical and one at T8 thoracic. The caller was zapped at least three times by this Adult Pfizer Covid Vaccine, by what the vaccine does to the neurology system. The Adult Pfizer Covid Vaccine does bad crap to neuro. The Adult Pfizer Covid Vaccine causes cardio issues. Caller clarifies cardio issues have not occurred for the caller. Thus far, the caller's major problems are neurological damage. The caller knows the Adult Pfizer Covid Vaccine causes neurological damage. What will Pfizer do about the Adult Pfizer Covid Vaccine causing neurological damage? Transverse Myelitis: The caller was to add to the notes of the nightmare that is happening. When the caller's fingers and all symptoms came in, the caller wants to emphasize how long all the symptoms were very asymmetrical, meaning all right side has been more effected in general than the left side. On 01Oct2021, when came in real bad, the caller's fingertips bilaterally, numbness and tingling with asymmetrical right greater than left.  On 08Oct2021, the caller made a notation that the caller's fingers were still bilaterally asymmetrical and forearms started up bilaterally. Forearms are asymmetrical right greater than left. On 23Nov2021, caller had numbness, paresthesia, burning, pain bilaterally in feet and once again asymmetrical with right greater than left. Later the part of the feet on outside part was greatest. Caller having very bad balance issues, tipping over a lot. Still am tipping over a lot with diagnosis at real high fall risk. By 27Nov2021, numbness and paresthesia, burning and pain was in bilateral toes, right greater than left, with lateral greatest and going up entire leg and into groins, perineum and lower buttocks, abdomen and bra line. All of this tender and sensitive, losing balance right and left. Caller had all these feelings of band, straps wrapped around legs and has to this da in hands fingers, and toes. The bands stretched and pulled almost like sitting in a chair and strap or band thrown around foot pulling upwards. When the caller stepped down plastic surface of shower mat, felt like stepping on glass or gravel and really hurt. That goes to the diagnosis of transverse Myelitis. Transverse Myelitis has wiped out caller's sensory system, as stated by neurologist, which is why all the weird symptoms feeling weird things. The caller's motor system thus far did not get effected. The caller went to (name)on 17Mar2022 after local diagnosis. Tackling this stuff now. Tackled VAERS and gave answers earlier in the game. The caller is going through too much pain, too many doctor's visits and too much turmoil. The caller would like to speak for a large group of people effected by Vaccine injury that are not being recognized as a group.  Transverse Myelitis: Caller would like to have in the report that the caller's symptoms have hit not only fingers, hands and forearms, but also toes, feet, legs all the way up including groins, perineum and abdomen. Due to the fact Transverse Myelitis can and has effected through groin and perineum the caller has incontinence as a joyful side effect with urine and not BM. The caller states caller is being ignored and its a crock and needs to stop. It is despicable that manufacturers Pfizer and alike are off the hook for four years. The caller is screwed for life.  This is what happens when pushing a vaccine out and caller knows pandemic but the vaccine was rushed and chopped corners and did intentionally.; Sender's Comments: Considering the nature of the reported events and product profile, a causal role of the suspect BNT162B2 cannot be denied for the reported events.
