Clinical narrative: Within an hour and a half, when I took the bandage off there was swelling and It was hot to touch. Later that day it was red and hot. The next day I wasn't paying much attention to it other than it was sore, and it didn't restrict my movement in any way. The day after was rather sizable, about the size of an egg. Producing heat, red, and rash looking. Over the next few days, it was 4 inches across my arm. It was growing and itching. I called the doctor and did cold packs and Cortaid a few times a day. It wasn't improving and I went to see the doctor on Friday, and she acknowledged that it was pretty big. She gave me a prescription in case it was a staff infection and another steroid. I already wasn't feeling good when I went to see her and she told me to follow up if anything worsens. Saturday night, I took the antibiotic because I had a tremble episode in the middle of the night. Started the antibiotic and used the steroid cream. It's still on my arm but paler, still an occasional itch, still temporary muscle pain in my arm. Occasional headaches, fatigue, did nothing but sit for several days. Woke up with a headache this morning. Run pretty cool temperature at 96 degrees for my temp but it went up to 98.6 at the highest. That's where I'm currently at. The egg in my arm has gotten flatter and hard. Injection site can be sore and still putting on steroids and taking antibiotics. Had diarrhea one night I'm assuming from the antibiotic but I'm unsure. None of the other COVID shots had bothered me at all.

Symptoms: Chills, Dizziness, Dyspnoea, Fatigue, Feeling cold
Clinical narrative: It starts with the telltale sore injection site (right arm for me).  Then tremendous chills (unable to get warm regardless of the amount of bedcoverings) for hours.  Tremendous tiredness all the next day, with some dizziness and breathlessness, because hey, why not.  Basically, starting from 10 pm or so on the night of the vaccine, I was out of commission for the next 36 hours.  I spent most of that 36 hours sleeping (once I was able to--it took me til somewhere between 2-4 am to fall asleep on the first night because I was so cold).   Anytime I got up to drink water or eat, I was so totally exhausted that there was nothing to do but go back to sleep.  Shot was Friday  afternoon at 3 pm.  Sunday morning (which was Easter), I poked my nose out of the covers about 9 am, and found I was alive again.  Took a shower for the first time since Friday morning, went to service, and was fine. This is the first time I am bothering to report side effects, but it has been basically the same drill for all 4 shots--this time around was slightly milder than the other 3 times.  Still,  I was useless between Friday night and Sunday morning. For what it's worth, I had a similar reaction to the shingles vaccine (shingrix, 2 dose, both doses nasty), and usually get a heck of a sore arm after a flu shot.

I had excruciating pain all over my body, every part of my body. I would wake up at nights gasping for air. By the 4th day, when my fever broke, I was having chest pain and extreme shortness of breath. Called my doctor and told me to go to the ER. My vitals and oxygen level were okay. I sat for 4 hours without being seen. I ended up asking a nurse to listen to my lungs, I felt so sick I could not sit there longer. The nurse said my left lung sounded slightly diminished. Since then I have been in and out of the doctor with breathing issues, low and high heart rate. I was unable to do normal daily activities. I could not go to the grocery store for a month.  Now I have to shop at a smaller store so I don't have to walk around as much. I started seeing a little bit of improvement in mid March. My oxygen was going higher and staying up longer. Then I had a horrible week where I went back to square one. My doctor wanted me to get an oximeter. Could not get the oxygen down enough in the doctor's office to go home on oxygen. At home my oxygen level will drop and by the time I get to the ER, it is normal. One ER visit my alarm went off, my oxygen level dropped to 79. I was tested for blood clots. Two days later I got results that the lower lobes of my lungs were collapsed. Gave me breathing exercises to do at home. X-rays, CT all look good when I am at the hospital. Yesterday my heart hurt so bad, it feels like someone is squeezing my heart.
