Symptoms: Injection site swelling, Injection site warmth, Lip swelling, Musculoskeletal stiffness, Palpitations
Clinical narrative: 4/2 - Had a physical where doctor mentioned some small bumps on my upper back. I'd never noticed this visually, nor had they itched or ever been otherwise noticeable/bothersome.  This first week was 'hypersensitive' to things I typically wouldn't be. 4/5 - Received my first vaccine. Slight/mild arm tenderness at injection site (left arm) on and off starting a few hrs later.  4/6 - Continued mild arm tenderness. Upper back (where previously noted bumps were) was very hot. Upper lip was minorly swollen (not visibly, by touch only)  4/7 -  Was very sensitive to some smells - flowers in my house were very intense which also resulted in minor headache. I don't typically have this type of reaction and the same flowers the days prior and after didn't elicit this response. Went to chiro for an adjustment that evening.  4/8 - Upper back and neck stiffness. Occasionally after an adjustment I'll be tight but never like this.  At some point this first week or possibly the week after, there were electric like 'pops' throughout my left side lower leg.  4/11 - Started Vitamin and Supplement regiment from doctor  4/12 - Started detox diet to remove all 'sensitive' foods. Had acupuncture.  4/13 or 14 - The injection site started minor itching and looked like a small bug bite (raised and rounded). Can't recall if this lasted 1 or 2 days.  At some point during the 2nd week and continuing through the 3rd week my sinus started acting up - this is not unusual and I don't attribute to the vaccine, but I do think that the vaccine contributed to the sinus issue making me feel more drained of energy and 'hot' all over (but not a full out fever) than 'normal' for when it (my left sinus) acts up.  4/19 - Upper back was hot and quite itchy (very small eczema like bumps) during the afternoon; in the evening arm also was itchy.  4/20 - Work up with rash on injection (left) arm - small area where injection was and larger area slightly below that. Rash was more hot, as opposed to itchy. Mild brain fog / lack of energy (though also didn't get a ton of sleep and my sinus was acting up too - don't think the sinus was likely related to the shot). Felt all over hot, but short of feverish.  4/22 - By end of day the rash was gone. Heart palpitations and could feel my heart beating against my chest all day long. Leg "throbbing pulse" in lower left leg - comes and goes.  At some point around here it became harder to breathe in the sense that I was breathing fine, but felt like I wasn't getting enough oxygen, i.e. needing to breathe deeper than normal and was getting tension in my temples.  4/23 - Minor heart "flutters" in the am and evening, but not during the day/as intense as the day before.  4/24 & 4/25 - leg "pulses" less noticeable, but still occurring. Alternating around the lower leg and upper leg - a few even up in buttocks area.  4/26 - leg "pulses" more noticeable - at times more of a sustained throb rather than quicker 'pulse'. Mostly in the lower leg and the upper leg right above the knee toward the interior of the thigh. Acupuncture in the evening specifically addressing my 'fire points' which were 'acting up' - felt overall more relaxed, leg pulses less noticeable and could more easily breathe.   4/27 to 4/29- leg 'pulses' still continue but 90-95% better than previously - not as frequent or severe.  Starting to occur some in the right leg now.  Began taking Xiao Chai Hu Tang herbs from acupuncturist to get ahead of potential side-effects from the 2nd vaccine.
