Concomitant, Medicinal Product Name as Reported by the Primary Source: Preservision Eye Vitamin, Dosage text: Takes 2 daily and Elderberry gummy 100mg; 2 gummies daily. Went online yesterday and filled out the information online to report an adverse event and underneath the drugs she was taking 2 weeks prior to the vaccination, it wouldn't let her list out all of her medications. She started to list them but couldn't list them all. Wants to add those medications to her original report.  Patient Details: She is 69 now because she has since had a birthday, but she was 68 when the adverse event happened. There were a lot of things that happened to her. She took vaccine on 05Aug2022 and late Friday evening she started the beginning of the side effects. Thinks the side effects are due to the vaccine and started on that following Monday. Got an itch in her lower left portion of her groin area and started hurting in her groin area. Couldn't get the itch to stop even when she scratched. Pain started in left groin area. No rash present and that was on the 08Aug2022. Went on that week. Itching would stop and start. Saturday night after 08Aug2022, she started experiencing paralysis. Was in the bed asleep at night, and woke up at night, couldn't move couldn't raise her body up, couldn't roll, couldn't raise legs up, had excruciating pain in left groin and buttocks thighs and back.  Finally subsided. Happened that Saturday and Sunday night. Went to her provider after that. Didn't go to emergency room. Was hurting bad enough to call 911. She thought about it but didn't. Waited until Monday and went to see her provider. Did X-rays and stuff. After that, several weeks passed and it started up again. Hurting in groin, hurting in left and right groin area. Has stairs in her house and couldn't lift legs to climb stairs. Extreme difficulty getting in and out of tub and showering. Dressing couldn't lift arms over head. Extreme pain in both arms in deltoid area. Muscles would get hard in both arms and when she could move around, she had to use a cane. Was a series of this going on for several week. Started 08Aug2022 and was referred to an ortho doctor. Went to two different doctors and finally went away. Didn't put any dates with it. All of this has been reported. Made one big paragraph of it and made it as thorough and brief as she could, but its all in there. The medications was the only area that concerned her because she wanted Pfizer to know everything she took and it wouldn't let her take the rest of the medications. She reported her cat scans, xrays, MRI, blood tests, and referrals. The previous report asked her prior to vaccination was she diagnosed with covid, and she said, no. Asked if she had been tested for covid, she said yes, but they were all home tests and she did them herself. She takes pictures of each home test she does, so she had the dates for those and was able to report that as well. Medications was the only area she wasn't able to fully report on. Doesn't wish to add anything else. If Pfizer wants anymore information, they can reach out and talk to her.
