She stated she got the Pfizer COVID-19 shot and a few days later in emergency ward, she had a terrible reaction. Her body froze from the neck, shoulder, and down to the hand. She stated that the doctor at the emergency told her it would start to get better within 4-6 weeks, but there was nothing they could do. She was totally paralyzed or locked between the left shoulder and the neck, down the upper arm, and down the lower arm and hand. It was tightly folded against her body in a way that she could not move it physically at all. If she needed to move for dressing, she had to use her right hand to forcefully straighten her left arm elbow down to get a sweater on. She stated that at 5-6 weeks, it was easing up and by 7 weeks she could use her arm fully. She was told not to have a Pfizer shot and not in her left arm.
