Patient began experiencing pain and difficulty walking on Tuesday, March 23. Later that afternoon she was taken to an Urgent care, who sent her to the ER for evaluation. She was diagnosed with a very large blood clot in her leg, spanning from just above the knee to her groin area. They admitted her and began treating her with blood thinners.  While undergoing that treatment, her heart stopped 3 times and she had to be resuscitated. They discovered a pulmonary embolism.  While removing a large clot from her lungs, the doctor found that her lungs were riddled with hundreds of tiny blood clots. They also said that she was bleeding internally, very heavily, from an unknown location. In all, they gave her 20 units of blood, and none of it stayed in her veins. The doctor said it seemed to just disintegrate.  At that point, her brain and organs had begun shutting down and family made the decision to remove her from life support. She passed away Thursday evening, March 25, 2021.

I contracted covid in Jan. of 2021 and had tiredness, loss of taste and smell but no fever. Recovered in about a week but did not get my normal smell and taste back for 1.5-2 months. After I received the second dose I noticed that my smell and taste of certain things changed drastically. I use a hair product that smelled favorable to me before but to this day (8/11) after the shot has a harsh soap chemical smell. The other side effect has been that leafy greens have a harsh soap chemical taste, similar to how I would describe the hair product. The taste is so intrusive that I have given up leafy greens, especially lettuce, which I used to eat all the time.
Around lunch time on the 9th of Jan . I noticed all over body rash, macular papular rash redish whitish throughout body, it became very itchy in my arms and legs, I noticed numbness in right and left arm and legs numbness, shooting pain in left side as well, I experienced neurological symptoms and went to ER. They did a complete blood count and basic metabolic panel, they said it was probably a immune response and was told to take antihistamines at home. symptoms started to subside after a couple of days, I then developed intermittent chest pains in the left side and the pain became more consistent and then a week later it was consistent with every breath and I went to the ER again, they did an EKG, Troponin, all cadiac workup and chest xray said it was not cardiac but possibly a chest wall issue, I was referred to cardiology, cardiologist thought I may have pericarditis, I started taking 800mg of ibuprofen for management. My pain has began to subside and now I only have a couple of minutes every other day that I still have pain but stopped taking medication the third week in February. Because of the intensity of my immune response they recommended I not take the 2nd dose. If symptoms subside I will let my dr know

Patient is a pregnant female (17 weeks with twins) came in to get her booster shot for Moderna. After getting the vaccine she started to feel light headed during her 15 minute wait time. Once back seated the patient fainted for 60 seconds.  I tried to get patient to respond. Once the patient came back to. She was flush, sweaty and dizziness. BP was 118/82 seated. She was having trouble breathing so she removed her mask. The patient had received both doses of Moderna prior to this with no incident.  911 was called and the patient left with them.

On vacation on June 22-July 12, 2022.  Had stuffy nose and used home Covid test: tested positive on Juy 4th.  On day 2 started soure throat and cough; non-productive cough continues.  Continued testing positive.  Primary care advised that false-positves past day 10 were not unusual.
This is an old event, but I thought I should probably file it for future reference. I sent this exact email Public Health on March 26, 2018.   March 16th - patient  was brought to the Clinic and prescribed amoxicillin for a double ear infection.  March 19th - patient was brought to hospital for his 1 year vaccinations. (Note: he has never had any adverse reactions to vaccinations yet).  March 22nd - I noticed a few red dots on patient's chest in the evening.  March 23rd - In the morning, patient's chest had the same number of pink/red dots as the day prior. I sent him to daycare because he didn't have a fever and wasn't acting sick. I asked the daycare provider to monitor the spots and let me know how he was. As the day progressed, the pink/red dots continued to get worse and he was crying/screaming in pain when his arms/legs were moved. It was visibly noticeable that his elbows and knees were red, swollen and warm and he was experiencing some sort of joint pain. I scheduled an appointment with hospital to be seen that day. We saw Dr. and he said he was obviously having an allergic reaction to something, he assumed the amoxicillin. I had mentioned that he had been vaccinated on Monday the 19th and after a lot of internet searching, it kept coming back that it could be a reaction to the MMR vaccine. It noted that "because the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses in the MMR vaccine are weak versions of the disease viruses, they may cause a very mild case of the disease they were designed to prevent." Dr. indicated that he had never seen such a case, so he didn't think it would be that. As the night progressed, the red dots only continued to get worse. Patient was given 2 mL of Benadryl that evening per doctor.  March 24th - patient was given 2 mL of Zyrtec at 9:00 a.m. per doctor. The day old red/pinks dots were now bruise like in appearance and new red/pink dots were appearing. He was having horrific joint pain; screaming, crying and inconsolable for over an hour (until ibuprofen kicked in again).   March 25th - The majority of the dots were disappearing, but still visible. No joint pain all day.  March 26th - Almost all of the dots are gone. No joint pain.   NOTE; I have quite a few pictures on my cell phone documenting the progression of the reaction that I would be happy to send to someone.   NOTE: I listed the four vaccines that were administered on March 19, 2018; however, based on his records, I cannot distinguish which Hep A vaccine he was administered (Havrix or Vaqta).
Itching began on Tuesday May 18 at 10pm on my thighs; then itching continued to back of the legs and knees with a slight swelling feeling. So much that I needed to look and see if I had gotten bit or something. I changed out of jeans and then saw my legs had developed rashes in large sections; some looked like hives, some like little red bumps, some with just read splotches. I washed my legs thinking maybe a bug or allergen and put anti itch cream on one leg to see if it would help or if I needed anything else. I went to bed shortly after and then woke at 6am (Weds. May 19) and when I changed out of pj's, noticed rashes also at the injection site; the itching continued to come and go and when it would begin to itch, the rash/bumps would appear without scratching. The rashes would continue on primarily the legs and glutes but also injection side and a little on the shoulder/back of the same side of the injection site and small rash on each ear.   This continued for three days intermittently. The rashes stayed for about 1-2 hours then new ones would appear as the old ones faded. Friday, I was finally itch-free by later in the evening. I did not take any medication or apply any more anti itch cream despite the intense itching sensation.   I took pictures for documentation if you need them.
I developed a red, flaky, painful spot in my armpit about 2" wide. Over the next 6 weeks I've been developing more and more of these spots that start small, but grow in size.
