Clinical course: Call regarding first 3 Covid shots. Had 2 regular shots and a booster. Has had nothing but health problems, since he had them. His legs, especially the left leg, are full of sores, were burning hot, toes are black. When he sees doctor again tomorrow, could lose his feet or some toes, on the left foot. The right foot is not as bad as left foot, is also, very sore. This has been going on a year, has gone on and off, then gets bad. Recently, has gotten worse. The only thing he has done differently is, having the 3 Covid shots. Did not get the updated ones. Had them at local pharmacy. The patient does not have history of sugar or diabetes. Just that new drug interaction. Has had nothing but problems. Of course, had immunity but, these side effects do not leave a very good disposition with him. Might lose some of his toes and left foot. Going to have to consult a lawyer, hate to do this. Never should have gotten the shots. Thinks it was rushed into by political advantage for the government. They were rushing pharmaceutical companies to get it out so quickly. The patient will be going to foot specialist tomorrow. It is getting so bad, can't even walk. They were also burning, and the sores have opened up. There are open sores, mainly in left leg. Right leg has had it a little but, not much. It gotten progressively worse in last month. Doctor had given him diuretic and normal blood pressure pills. Can't remember but, think it was Furosemide, can't remember, was started at 40mg because, he was retaining water in his feet. They started to swell, especially the left foot, the leg got very large. Clarified, the leg swelling was already in existence, that is why they put him on diuretic. Clarified, the leg swelling started after having the 3 Covid shots and before he had the leg sores. Clarified, leg swelling started about 4 months ago (as reported).  Swelling went down, still swelling in left foot. Clarified, swelling occurred in both legs but, especially in left. Going to podiatrist tomorrow, for routine care. They were going to consult with his doctor, to see what is recommended. Thinks he got 2 out of the 3. There were 3 different Drug Stores, he had all of the 3 Pfizer shots. The patient has always been on blood pressure medicine, a long time. Also, they put him on statin, forgets the name. They discontinued it because he was having adverse reaction. Does not remember what happened. It was about 3 months ago; they took him off it. Thinks it was Rosuvastatin, does not know the mg or dose. Doctor had taken a lot of blood work. They never get bad report on blood. Middle, or end of May2024, will be doing more blood testing. Then, will know more results, by 25May2024, will have blood taken on 17May2024. Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks): Had high dose flu shot at pharmacy, his current pharmacy, sometime in fall, can't remember. Clarified, this was not within 4 weeks prior to latest Covid vaccines. Was well before or after the Covid shots. The patient stopped taking Covid shots, has probably been a couple years. When they first came out, had the 3 then, stopped. The patient didn't want them anymore. They were rushed into the market. The patient will be going to doctor. Maybe they will squeeze him in earlier. Legs were on fire last week or so and was using some type of ointments, has very dry skin. They were not doing anything and was prescribed antibiotic cream, put on leg. That helped stop itching and burning sensation. Sore leg pretty ugly right now, around left ankle. The patient was very concerned, his toes are completely black. The patient does not even feel any sensation in them anymore. That is why he was fearful, they might be having to amputate toe, or even the foot. This has put him in very bad situation, from these Covid shots he had. It was rushed too soon, was very political.  A lot of people got shot and had a lot of adverse side effects. The patient will have to face possibly losing feet and or a leg. Consulting with a lawyer for safety purposes, to protect himself. They will find out, this was from Covid shots, may be a major settlement. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Blood test: Never get bad report on blood. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of skin ulcer, peripheral swelling, fluid retention, skin discolouration.  The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 will be requested and submitted if and when received.
