The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: lab test: unknown results, notes: There were all kinds of tests, they could not find anything wrong with him. Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of malaise, feeling abnormal, hypersomnia, insomnia, asthenia, pain in extremity. Clinical course: Doctor asked caller if he had gotten updated booster. Caller said, he never would again because, he got really deathly ill, could barely stay awake a year, was sleeping 20 hours a day, was totally useless. Doctor asked if he had let Pfizer know, which caller stated, he didn't. Doctor told him Pfizer really might want to hear this. Thought he was wasting his time. Big pharmaceutical companies did not want to hear about this. This was first time caller was reporting this, did not know if anyone else had reported it. When clarifying caller's previous statement, of being deathly ill, he stated, he had a sleep disorder, had trouble sleeping. 2 weeks after booster shot, could not stay awake. Would go to sleep, say he was sleeping today, woke up 2:45PM, would go back to sleep 5 hours. That was all he did for a whole year, almost a whole year, just sleep. Patient started feeling funny on an unknown date, didn't really know what it was, was probably a week after booster shot. Right after booster shot, arm hurt, but everybody did that. Still not back to normal. He was able to stay awake, but before he knew it, was having trouble sleeping again. Never fully recovered from it. Still had low energy. Couldn't do whole lawn in 45 minutes, like he used to. Now, was 4 hour event to mow lawn. Treatment: No. Went to a lot of doctor's appointments because doctor said, he never heard of this, was thinking something else was wrong. Went to cardiologist, even went to oncologist, thought he was dying. He was on lot of medications, did not know what he was on back then, probably most of them. Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks): did not know if he had flu shot. After checking records, caller stated, he went for the pneumonia shot, 08Oct2021. Nobody in his family had gone through anything like that in relation to Adverse Events. Went to a lot of doctor's appointments in beginning of 2022. As far as he was concerned, literally thought he would die any day. Really thought he was in final stages of life. Nobody could find anything wrong with him, it made him worry.
