Clinical narrative: 08/31/2021, a few days after vaccine I had a rapid change in my vision that they said was age related, I couldn't read signs, articles, etc. Epi membrane was stuck and went to two other specialists that gave me the same diagnosis, which was caused by inflammation. Because of this I believe that it is completely linked to the vaccine. Currently one eye is working as normal after being given steroids for another health complication and one of the eyes, my left eye, is still stuck due to inflammation. If this gets worse there is possibility of surgery and could cause retinal tearing. Over the last month and a half, I have been diagnosed with pancreatic insufficiency, which is causing me stomach discomfort and other issues that come with this diagnosis. Memory has been altered and overall I am not feeling well as well.

Clinical narrative: Five days after my vaccine, 03/06/2021, I had a strong case of vertigo. I was having hot flashes while having vertigo over the slightest movements. If my husband would turn over in the bed my vertigo would kick in and it would feel as though I was being sucked downward. This continued for about 5 days. 03/08/2021 I was evaluated by my PCP and he prescribed Zofran and Antivert. On 03/15/2021 I saw a neurologists. They ordered some tests. They did an MRI. He had prescribed a 75mg dosage of nortriptyline. The next days my eyes started to get affected. If I was looking at something that was digital I could not look at it for more than 5-6 mins without getting vertigo. My husband would say that it looked as though my eyes would glaze over. The vertigo would make me feel as though I was being sucked downward even when standing. I had a follow up with my neurologist on 03/22/2021 and was diagnosed with vertiginous migraine. On 04/01/2021 I had an appointment with a physical therapist was diagnosed with Nystagmus that was both vertical and horizonal. They eye problems lasted for about a month. I still have vertigo on and off, but it is not as intense as it was immediately after the vaccine. This has also affected my work. I am a nurse and was scheduled to do COVID vaccines and I ended up having an anxiety attack which I am not prone to having. I had an ENT visit and the results of any testing was normal. I am fluent in four languages, meaning read, write and speak. I now experience times where I have a brain fog and forget words which I never had a problem with before.

Symptoms: Impaired driving ability, Joint noise, Joint range of motion decreased, Musculoskeletal stiffness
Clinical narrative: Patient's own description: "within 2 days of administration, it first affected my shoulder and shoulder blade area, causing stiffness and limited range of motion for my arm (including a clicking sound during some motions). The side of my torso was also a bit stiff. By day 3, the stiffness spread to my upper and lower back after a sharp but brief pain in my back. The stiffness in my upper back also spread to my neck.    After 3 weeks (and a few chiropractic sessions), my shoulder has loosened and I am close to returning to a full range of motion in my shoulder again. However, my neck remains problematic with stiffness and limited range of motion. This has caused some difficulties when driving, with me sometimes needing to turn my entire body instead of just my neck. "
