She asked if these events could be related to the vaccine. Starting on 10feb2021, around 02:00, as far as she was aware, she was in bed and got up and was so dizzy she could not walk. She did not dare try to walk down the hall because she was so wobbly she kept bumping up against the wall. She has a lady who helps her some so she called her thinking she would come and help her; but the lady told her to just go back to sleep. So she got back into bed and went back to sleep and she seems to be ok now; not wonderful, but events are improved.

Unknown what those allergies are. She remembers she had Stevens-Johnson syndrome-she got that; she had had breast surgery and they started giving her medication because she developed an infection right away; They gave her Rifampin and Vancomycin and she thinks they overdosed her because she spent 2-3 weeks in the hospital with the Stevens-Johnson syndrome with a rash she developed immediately.
