Age: 48.0
Sex: F
Vaccine: COVID19, COVID19
Symptoms: Throat irritation, Throat tightness
Clinical narrative: Vaccine was given and while scheduling second vaccine I noticed my tongue and gums itching then my throat (?? trachea) began to tighten.  Not knowing if these symptoms were the vaccine, wearing of a face mask, or just slight anxiety, once I finished scheduling my next vaccine appointment, I took my seat and sat for the 15-minute observation time.  The itching and tightness did not seem to get too much worse so when my 15-minute observation time was up, I left the building, called my mom, and headed back to work.  Removing the mask and having a drink of water did not alleviate my symptoms, so my mom suggested I go back to the clinic at the fairgrounds and have them assess my symptoms.   I was escorted to the back of the building where Dr was.  After a brief examination and asking questions, Dr had me lie down on a cot and he monitored my blood pressure and oxygen while continuing to ask questions about how I feel and any new symptoms I may have.  He said my oxygen and blood pressure were great.  I was shaking/body tremor pretty much the whole time I was lying on the cot.  Neither of the original symptoms, tongue and gum itching and tightening of throat, ever really subsided.  I was thirsty and I began to feel nauseous, and on a couple of occasions thought I was going to vomit, but only had dry heaving.  (Note: I am not aware of the time and how long it was from beginning to end, when I was given something to when ems arrived, to when I arrived at hospital.)   Sometime later, my throat was a bit sore and I felt like something was tickling or in the back of my mouth.  Dr examined the location, and upon looking, called for a nurse and the next thing I know, I now have a throbbing headache and Dr was administering an EpiPen Injection to my upper thigh.   At this point, I was still nauseous, pounding on the right side of my head near eye socket, still having body tremors, and ready to fall asleep.  Dr explained that my Uvula and soft palate had double in size and that I was having an allergic reaction and will need to go by ems to the local hospital for observation. I tried to refuse, but was told it was protocol.   Several people looked inside my mouth. I was given a pill that dissolved on my tongue.  My head stopped pounding and I was no longer nauseous once I was in the ems.  I do not remember when the itching and tightness of my throat went away, but it was before I arrived at the hospital.    Once I arrived at the hospital, the only thing that hurt was my upper left thigh where Dr administered the EpiPen and I still had small body tremors. Two separate nurses tried to give me an IV, but both were only successful at blowing out my veins. I refused an IV after the second attempt. The nurse gave me, what she said was 3 steroid pills (Decadron??) and ½ of some other pill that will coat my stomach and protect it from steroid pills.  They allowed me to walk on my own without observation to and from the bathroom down the hall.  Sometime later in the emergency room, the itching of my tongue and gums came back and the tightness in my throat returned.  The staff at the hospital did not feel concerned enough to even examine me after I mentioned the return of the symptoms.  After about an hour, I was told I could go home, but they later came back and said I had not been there long enough and had to stay.  It was around 7:30 pm when I was able to leave and go home.  Saturday and Sunday, I was very fatigued.  Monday and Tuesday my hips and legs feel very weak and wobbly and I have pain going from my right hip down past my knee on the outside of my leg.
