A 59-year-old female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: solution for injection, Lot number: EW0187, Expiration date: not reported) via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 24May2021 (Monday) (at the age of 59 years) as 1ST DOSE, SINGLE DOSE for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient medical history included Asthma, Head trauma, Had car accidents, Allergies from on unknown date and unknown if ongoing. Concomitant medications included budesonide, formoterol fumarate (SYMBICORT) taken for Asthma and loratadine (CLARIDIN) taken for Allergies on daily, start and stop date were not reported. On 27May2021, Patient stated that got a really really bad severe case of vertigo yesterday which was like what 72 hours after the shot, I got it on monday and it happened yesterday so I woke up with it like actually like really bad nausea and severe vertigo and I still have it and you know I can't get to a doctor to get it or therapist to get it treated because they don't have any availability but I tried to doing head movement myself but I haven't really had any relief. Consumer stated, when I got vertigo it can take weeks for it to go away. Unless I can get treatment from a therapist who specializes and then she was not available then I can suffer for weeks so three weeks from now you know If we gonna get severe dizziness and vertigo that's gonna really distrust people from gonna go and get the second one. I went for my shot at noon time on Monday and then on Thursday, 27May I woke up with really upset stomach which is typical in vertigo. So, I got severe vertigo exactly 3 days later so a little bit less than 24, 48 a little bit less than whatever it is 72 hours later. Consumer stated, Yeah but you know what else I got within 5 minutes of getting the shot I started getting the horrible headache and then It just got progressively worse. I mean my asthma so you know I have like a lousy immune system (further not clarified) so I think I'm more prone to having side effects but I didn't realize it was gonna be that bad also so on the 24 within 5 minutes of getting it. I've started getting wild headache and then horrible headache and I took Motrin for like 24 hours(treatment) and it didn't even help the headache not one single bit. It was so like my head was like in a vice like someone was squeezing it in a vice that's how severe it was like to disabling. On May2021, I couldn't eat, couldn't walk, couldn't get myself once a dinner or anything. It was terrible that's how bad it was so and then you know the nausea started immediately so a mild upset stomach on May2021 for about 48 hours and then the third day it was much much more worse because of the vertigo so it was severe headache all over. It was horrible, it felt like someone was hitting the head with sludge hammer and the dizziness started immediately on 24May2021, the headache started immediately on 24May2021 and the extreme fatigue on 24May2021 that haven't gone away since I got it. So I don't know what you need to write down but that's it. Those are side effect. and then I take on a daily basis for my bad back I mean I have really really bad back on 24May2021, so I've actually my backache seems to when I took Motrin(treatment) obviously but my backache that problem have like tripled it got much much worse since I got the shot you know like the muscle ache you know my arm hurt really bad for 48 hours the minute it stopped, but my bad back has been horrible since I got the shot because its been much much worse and like I said I haven't done anything to exacerbate so. Then the vertigo started 3 days, little bit less than 3 days later I woke up with it horrible vertigo pretty severe. It was slightly better today, well it was earlier but the more I move around so since I got the shot 4 days ago the more I move around the more I do whether its like doing laundry getting lunch or whatever like the dizziness will just come back like full force. If I try to sit and rest and don't leave and only watch TV it stabilizes a little bit but yeah the dizziness I've talked to a lot of people and they've all had the side effect not just from the shot I got but from the other shots as well. So, Its crazy. Consumer stated that I don't know, I will try to go back in the couple of weeks. So, whatever date that is, 14 may be. On 14Jun2021 I'm gonna try to go back. These are the 14 or 15 but they just told to come back in 3 weeks afterwards so that's what I'm gonna do. Medical Condition was reported as so I have you know thin fever but I don't have any other issue the only thing I have is asthma you know all my doctor saying Oh you have asthma so you should really get it so like an idiot If I had known I was gonna have this horrible you know side effect the first time I never would have getting it first place so you know that all these people would these horrible side effects are saying screw it we are not gonna get back for second shot you know who wants to suffer like this again its been an entire week and I'm not any better than I was on Monday So, you know the headache is better the upset stomach is better but the dizziness I can deal with the headache and the upset stomach but the vertigo, if you have ever experienced it. It is pure hell because you know you can't lay down and sleep you can't and I live alone so that's really scary you know what I'm saying. I can't get anything to eat. I can't go out. I can't drive when I get vertigo but I do have a history of it. I think the last time I had it might've been like February or March maybe when I get treated for it you know but I haven't done anything at all to set it off. I haven't been doing any heavy lifting or heavy cleaning or bending or whatever which sometimes sets it off. So, I'm just you know been resting since Monday. I haven't done anything or left the house. The outcome of the events she got a really really bad severe case of vertigo, nausea was not recovered and other events were reported as unknown.
