On 07/25/2021 I had my first symptom that something was wrong. I was outside in the heat walking around and I literally felt "Something is wrong, I do not feel well" that I said to my brother and sister. Within a few minutes, my sister took me inside to cool off and I had to go to the bathroom. I don't even remember the last 20 minutes walking in. I had to use the bathroom and had diarrhea and had vomiting at the same. I thought it was heat stroke because I was sweating profusely. It just lasted for about 20 minutes. I left the bathroom and felt week. That was the only event that day. I drank some water and broth. I was exhausted that day. During the week I could not stay awake, and I did not feel sick. When I was awake, I was alert and interactive with my family and Thursday 07/29/2022 my brother and I flew home. I drove home from airport about 50 miles and I am an excellent driver. I drifted over the left median. Within 5 minutes, I drifted over to the right. I had no idea what was going on. We met with his wife about 06:00PM ET. I drank a half of a beer and one chicken finger. I was just feeling bad could not finish my drink or beer and went home. Friday 07/30/2022, I felt bad and had a horrible headache and slight fever. I slept most of the day. On 07/31/2021, I am vomiting and horrible diarrhea that went on for an hour or so. I went to Urgent Care. The Triage Nurse took my temperature and BP at 09:56AM and the doctor said I needed to go to the hospital. According to the hospital records my BP was low and 101/59 and my Oxygen was 95. I was sent to Hospital ER. The first thing they did was test me for COVID-19. They monitored my BP and at 03:30PM my BP was 94/47 but my HR went up and was 74. Multiple tests were performed, and the attending Cardiologist said I did not have AFIB. I was in the ER for about 7 hours. I am not sure what I was given in my IV. They did say they were astonished I had driven myself there. Providers at Urgent care wanted me to come back because I did not have a PCP in a week and back again in two weeks. They also provided a PCP for me.  After 07/31/2021 I lost 10lbs in 4 days. I was vomiting garbage cans in my house. Walking to the bathroom was very difficult with my legs due to muscle weakness. I noticed if I had to write anything my penmanship was not recognizable despite having penmanship lessons. Everything tasted like salt. Sweet things were very sickening to me. My sense of smell was enhanced and so much so when someone brought me soup the smell made me vomit. All of these symptoms lasted about a week. Once I felt I was over COVID-19, I have continued to feel extremely weak until present. Prior to this I was working as a server 4-5 days and also swam laps and my pulse was 99. I am the president of my community. I was capable, active, fit, engaged, and intelligent and I am feeling now that I have brain fog and I am not "my normal". I did see my PCP on 04/27/2022 and they referred me to a Pomologist on 06/13. On 10/11/2021 I went to a follow-up with PCP and they did perform some routine Labs and I was put on Cholesterol.

My hair started to fall out in hand full all day. These happened for about a few months. I contacted my doctor. She was unsure why my hair was falling out. She did blood work.
I had the shot at 11:15am.  I waited at the pharmacy for 20 min and felt fine. I went home and worked on computer.  I felt strange about 3:00pm.  By about 6pm I felt brain foggy, and I ate a large dinner and went to bed.  The next day I had flu like symptoms but nothing major including: sore muscles and fatigue all day.  Sunday morning I woke up and felt a lot better.  Sunday afternoon I started to have a sore throat, but just felt like seasonal allergies.  Monday morning I woke up about 6:30am and I felt like I could not move.  I felt terrible. I tool kids to school and came back home and got into bed and slept all day.  It got worse.  I lost my voice, I felt like I had waves radiating into and out of my body.  I had NO: FEVER, NO ACHES, ONLY waves radiating into and from my body, I had lost my voice, I felt terrible.  I just kept getting into the shower to feel better, hoping it would help.  Tuesday morning I woke up and was concerned that maybe I actually had covid? I called my doctor and he had me come in to get checked.  He told me that I did not have covid symptoms but that I was having an inflammatory reaction to the vaccine.  He asked if I had had a fever. I told him no.  He asked if I had taken any advil or tylenol, and I told him no.  He told me to start taking advil and also bendryl if I needed it.  I took both, and I started to feel better.  I was out the entire week from work, during a week that I was very busy ( I needed to work--I run my own business and it was terrible that I was sick that week.).  The reaction that I had was like nothing I have EVER experienced before.  It was horrible and scary.  I did not report this before because I tried to 3 different times on the VAERS website but it would not allow me to finish the report.
PROQUAD was inadvertantly administered to 32 year old patient; No Additional AE; This spontaneous report as received from a Nurse referring to a 32-year-old patient of unknown gender.

4/15/21 -- Symptoms began -- head pressure, sinus congestion, ears plugged (cannot hear anything out of left ear), extreme ringing in ears; took antihistamine (Levocetirizine 5 mg), Coricidin Chest Congestion, then Sudafed Sinus Congestion 4/22/21 -- Dr. appt. with Primary Care Dr. --fluid in ears, but clear; steroid injection, prescription for Prednisone (10 mg), nasal spray 4/25/21 -- Woke up with extreme dizziness causing nausea, room spinning for 4 hours, BP 180/114; Dr. on call advised me to take another BP pill and called in Meclizine 4/26/21 -- Follow up office visit -- BP and EKG normal; fluid in ears; prescription for Amoxicillin-Clav 875 (125 mg); was told if not better in 2 weeks to make appt. with ENT 4/30/21 -- Had to leave work with extreme dizziness; room spinning for 4 hours, took Meclizine 5/03/21 -- Appt. with ENT; no fluid in ears, removed wax; hearing test indicated 40% hearing loss in left ear and 20% loss in right ear, scheduled MRI with neurologist 5/07/21 -- MRI results showed not infection, no fluid, no stroke, no tumors or blockage  After the dizziness subsided in a month, I had 2 more bouts with dizziness, although not as severe as the original episodes.  I experienced several weeks of motion sickness when I lay down or turned over in bed.  None of the doctors could find a cause for the hearing loss, dizziness, and ringing in ears.  They had mixed opinions about getting my second vaccine.  I'm assuming that, at this point, the hearing loss is permanent, and I don't know if the ringing will ever go away.  When I blow my nose, my right ear will pop, but never my left ear; it has a sensation of some sort of blockage.  I am so hesitant to get my second vaccine because I don't want to go through this again or possible lose all of my hearing.  Any advice, help or information would be appreciated.
