With the second shot, two days later, she had diarrhea and terrible with fever and all that stuff. She later clarified that she did not have fever, but chills. The second shot was on 04Mar2021, and on 06Mar2021, was when she got ill. She went to her doctor on Tuesday and they told her to keep on taking 2 pills like Tylenol 3 times a day. She later stated it was Aspirin that she was taking instead of Tylenol. She did that. Later on, she lost appetite and lost 8 lbs. Her smell was very good, in fact, it was like triple smell. Things smelled 3 times stronger than before. She talked to someone earlier and they took all of her information and gave her the Pfizer Drug Safety number to call. She did not complete a report before. She had previously worked as a dental assistant for about 4 years or so. She did not had an email and did not had the complete address, phone or email for her primary care physician. On 06Mar2021 was when she called the doctor and went in the following Tuesday to see a PA. They told her to take aspirin. In other words, she was only taking 2-4 a day and they told her to up it to 6. The Doctor had to get her to another doctor because she was going into another area of the hospital, so she was no longer her primary care doctor. She went and saw another doctor and that was 16 days of this. She had 4 days of being so weak afterwards. She wanted to take the 3rd shot, but did not want it to kill her. The diarrhea stayed same and she had such terrible cramps in lower intestines. Every time she went to the bathroom, and she went all the time, she would had those cramps. A year earlier, she had a colonoscopy and it was fine. She knew it was because of the vaccine. She initially said it persisted, but later stated it is fine now. Chills felt like bubbles you pop when you get something shipped to you. They weren't there but it felt like it. She did not really register a fever though. It was worse up until that following Tuesday. Then, it did not improve until the following Tuesday, a week later and the doctor asked if she was still having Diarrhea and she told him it quit yesterday. Appetite did not improve right away. She was so weak, she would be eating and would had to put her head down on the table. When asked if the first and second doses were injected in the muscle, she was unable to confirm and said that it was a good shot, wherever it was. Injected in left arm and unable to confirm if given in the muscle. It was an easy shot. It went in. She only took high blood pressure medication and was taking it for years before. No further details provided. She was real healthy and she did take a cholesterol pill too. She was taking it prior.
