Clinical narrative: I experienced adverse reactions after the second day on lymph nodes in my neck, joint pain, the left arm feeling numb while taking shower,  and headache, third day both armpits swollen, developing some large nodes, fever 99-100 that went on for 2-3 weeks, with sweating at nights,  high blood pressure running on 150/90, and changing heartbeat rate, my normal blood pressure has been 120/85 at all times. 3rd week swollen groin area, swollen testicles, swollen arm fold, leg fold, joint pain on my feet, ankle, elbow, tingling on 2 fingers - middle and next to pinky  finger right arm. Worried the symptoms resembled that of HIV because of fever, night sweat, armpit and groin swollen. Called the Pharmacy 4th day after vaccination to consult the nurse regarding the adverse reaction and she said that it was normal for swollen lymph nodes it's a reflection of responsive immune system. Differed 2nd vaccination appointment until I receive opinion from the doctor. I scheduled an appointment to see my primary physician before the second vaccination due to the adverse reaction felt. Got an appointment was checked for tingling finger, and was referred to neurologist but did not go to see him/her hoping that it was going to go away.  05/07/2021 was seen by my primary physician, several tests were done, inflammation markers with C Reactive -high, Creatinine 1.27 and SED Rate came back at 39, off by 19 points was referred for armpit xray to check for swollen gland. HIV antigen test came back Negative.  08/04/2021 saw rheumatologist, did several tastings for markers. SED Rate came back at 21, and RF at 10.6, testing range is 0-6. Was put on steroids, and followed by hydroxychloroquine I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, I have been sick since May 09th of 2021 never recovered till today as we speak, and I am continuing to be on medication. I have no family history with rheumatoid arthritis, 11/18/2021 C Reactive came back 1.14(high). I have got both of my parents alive, with my dad turning 76, and my mother 66, and they are both healthy with no diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and do not get sick. Both were hit with covid and were able to recover with my dad hospitalized, and he is doing well now with no major issue. None of my parents have received covid vaccine.  I don't have a hospitalization history -never had been hospitalized, I have been sick with only H. Pilory as major health issue, I hardly get flu, and I have never missed work with an exception  of when I fell sick with H Pillory. My physical checkups have always been healthy, no diabetes, cholesterol 219, good cholesterol +65, blood pressure 120/80, exercise everyday going thru stairs up to the 8th floor twice a day. Working has been tough with the joint pain on my fingers, shoulder and neck pain, swollen armpit and muscle spasm. Locomotion and exercise have been hard with pain on my knees, now I have to attend clinic regularly every month for the chronic pain and monitor my kidney, liver and eyes for damage due to prescriptions I am taking. My job requires typing, and I can now hardly be able to type even though I am on medication.
