I noticed what looked to be dermatitis on my chin Friday morning. Friday afternoon, my face was getting puffy and red up to my eyes and my neck had a rash, all very itchy. Friday evening, I noticed what looked like a heat rash on both of my arms from my biceps to my wrists. Saturday morning I had a temperature of 99, my face was puffy and a little hard to the touch, my arms were red and swollen and all itchy. My local urgent care opened at 9a.m. and I was first in line by 8:40a.m. The doctor said this was a common side effect and prescribed methylPREDNISolone (4mg tablet pack), Allegra 180mg, and Benedryl 25mg, and Calamine lotion to sooth the itching. The rash and swelling has calmed down but hasn't cleared up entirely. My temperature was back to normal Monday afternoon.

After receiving the patient's last vaccine, the RN Reported that the patient started to faint and she had to catch him. It was unclear if he had a seizure or a vasovagal episode for us. The patient became awake alert and oriented after about 10-15 secs. While, the patient was describing what he felt which was a sensation of black from his eyes and fainting and then waking up. The patient had a second episode that was directly witnessed by this provider. The patient specifically started arching his back and leaned toward his left. His biceps contracted and he kept them close to his chest. His legs started having more classic tonic clonic movements. The patient was laid down. This episode lasted approximately 15 seconds and then patient was awake/alert afterwards. AAOx3. The timing between the episodes was approximately 5 minutes. Decision was made to transfer to ER downstairs. Unclear if first episode was a seizure or a vasovagal episode but second episode was more classic convulsion. Probably vasovagal as he has no prior history of seizures. Of note, two episodes is atypical. The episodes would be best described as LOC with myoclonus of lower extremities.
Shortly after receiving the vaccine, the patient stood up from his chair and approached the pharmacy counter. He told the pharmacist he was starting to feel funny and immediately fell on his back. I ran out to around the counter and he was conscious and sweaty. He was responsive, knew his name and where he was. He described feeling very hot. He did not have any rash or swelling visible.

2A on 11/24, severe pain started in abdomen. Wasn't able to sleep much more and pain continually got worse. Visited doctor and was recommended to ER. Admitted into ER and CT scan later on 11/24 showed acute appendicitis. Had surgery around 8p on 11/24 to remove appendix. Recovery going well.
I ate eggs for dinner and about 30 minutes later I had abdominal pain. Not long after that I started vomiting. Now, every time I eat eggs I have abdominal pain with or without vomiting.
4 days after injection, I experienced chills,  slight fever (99.1), drop in oxygen level (96), aches all over, intestinal distress, extreme fatigue, lasted over 12 hours.  Temperature and oxygen level back to normal, but am still shaky this morning, so I'm returning to bed.
after the first moderna vaccine on 12/24, i had pain in both legs that persisted for over a month.  i didn't think it was related to the vaccine.  then after i had the 2nd vaccine on 1/21, i developed very painful aching in both shoulders, arms, wrists, which has persisted and worsened, along with persistent fatigue.  i met (remotely) with my pcp.  lab tests were unremarkable.  she prescribed prednisone and the pain was much less during the day, but severe when I woke in the mornings.  I met with a rheumatologist who advised me to stay off prednisone for 10 days to allow further testing to r/o polymyalgia reumatica secondary to the vaccine.  Since stopping prednisone the pain in my shoulders, arms, wrists and hands has intensified, as has my fatigue.  i have no prior hx of pain, autoimmune or rhematolocal conditions.   I'm pretty stubborn, and have continued to work despite sxs.  I missed last Friday 2/19 because the pain was so severe.

Patient said she felt dizzy waiting in the lobby so she went and sat in her truck so she wouldn't "cause a scene." Her co-worker alerted me that she felt like she was reacting to the vaccine, so I assessed the patient who was having trouble breathing and felt "throat tightness." I administered an Epi-Pen at 10:23am and patient was able to breath a lot easier until paramedics arrived.

I believe the COVID vaccine has weakened my immune system. I believe it has created (2) existing, non-Covid related, virus that were dormant for decades to reactivate post the vaccine. Two viruses have reactivated in less than 30 days.
I woke up the morning after the vaccine and felt very nauseous with occasional lightheadedness. I was also extremely fatigued and found it difficult to get out of bed or off of the couch. I had a severe headache that lasted the majority of the day. Thursday's are typically my day off therefore I did not have to call out of work sick, however I most likely would have if I had been scheduled that day.
Ten minutes post receiving vaccination pt reported metallic taste in mouth and 'funny feeling in throat' that made her constantly need to clear her throat.
