About 2 hours after receiving the vaccine, around 4:30 PM on March 31, I began to get small hives all over my arms, legs and upper back. They itched uncontrollably and got more red and angry if I scratched them. I took Benadryl and went to bed as I get up at midnight for my job. Upon waking up the itching was not bad, and I went to work. Around 7 AM the itching started again, but was more intense than the night before. I took another round of Benadryl but it didn't do anything to stop the itching. It got worse on my arms and legs and spread onto my sides and neck, so I left work 3 hours early and went to an Urgent Care facility around 8:45 am. The doctor there told me I was having a reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine and instructed me to not get the second shot. She prescribed famotidine 40 mg tablets twice a day, hydroxyzine HCl 25 mg tablet once every 6 hours and a round of Prednisone in the event the itching would not stop. She said to hold off on taking the Prednisone if possible because it would neutralize the effect of the vaccine. After taking the famotidine and hydroxyzine HCl tablets for a day the itching is significantly reduced but still there. The hives aren't as angry and raised but are still somewhat visible. I have not yet taken the Prednisone.

Starting 07/22/2022, I came out of a restaurant thinking I had a dust in my eye and it still looks like that to this day. I went to sleep and when I woke up the next morning I called my ophthalmologist who told me to go to the emergency room at a local HCF.

After a few hours and a thorough examination with dilation, no retinal detachment was seen and I was discharged. I was told to follow up with my regular ophthalmologist in 4 weeks

I received my 2nd Covid vaccine and hair rapidly started falling out and within 4-6 weeks I was completely bald.  Hair on eyebrows and body fine.  Normal labs for thyroid, hormones, etc. I have been seeing dermatologists and they are thinking it was the Covid vaccine as they have seen similar episodes.  Emotionally destroying as I had long thick blond hair and I am a very health medical professional getting married in 4 months.
Starting 03/23/2022, I had extreme fatigue and felt very run down. I took a nap and the next day, I had a breakthrough fever of 100.3. I took a Tylenol, and felt better. I called my doctor on 03/24/2022 and they recommended I get a flu/COVID test. On 03/25/2022, I felt generally okay and went to get the COVID test and then later that day I started feeling worse. When I got the news, it was positive for COVID. Due to my underlying condition, I was a candidate for Monoclonal antibodies. Dr. called and told me I was eligible which was great timing since I had started to feel worse at that time. They did it that evening (03/25/2022), and I was tired and slightly short of breath but my oxygen was okay. The next day, I felt a little better and by the 27th I felt even more better. I contributed me feeling better to the monoclonal antibodies and the Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc and lots of electrolytes/fluids, and Mucinex. By about 04/03/2022, I felt completely normal. A month later I think I may have COVID again, flu or a cold. I will take an at home test later.
