About a week after I got my second dose of the Moderna vaccine, I started having inflammation in my shoulders and hips. The soreness and inflammation just got worse as time went on. It was especially bad on 3/21/2021, and I found hiking difficult. It kept getting worse. In April, I saw my internist, who told me that it was probably the result of the vaccine and that it should improve. On 4/27/2021, she put me on Celebrex and Tylenol. I took the Celebrex twice a day and the Tylenol every 8 hours. It helped a little, but the pain just got worse. On 4/28/2021, she took a blood panel; everything was normal, except my C-reactive proteins were elevated. On 5/28/2021, my hips had improved, but my shoulders were a lot worse, especially at night. The pain was so intense that I could hardly move my bedsheets. On 6/1/2021, I called my internist to tell her things had gotten worse, but she told me to just hang in there. On 6/16/2021, I called her again to tell her things had gotten much worse, and she told me I likely had polymyalgia rheumatica, and she decided to put me on prednisone. At this point, I had been on Celebrex for 51 days. I had to stop the Celebrex in order to start the prednisone. She did another blood panel on 6/17/2021. Again, the results were normal, aside from elevated C-reactive proteins. I started the prednisone on 6/18/2021. On 6/20/2021 and 6/21/2021, the pain was much worse, so I doubled my dosage of prednisone. I finally felt better afterwards. I saw a rheumatologist on 7/23/2021, and he monitored my prednisone intake. He wanted to taper off the prednisone to see how I did. I finally got to 5 mgs day some time later, and my hands felt really stiff and painful, and I couldn't close my fist. When I told my rheumatologist, he told me I had rheumatoid arthritis and not polymyalgia rheumatica. He then put me on methotrexate, which improved my condition by half. I'm a guitar player, but I still couldn't play. He then decided to also put me on a TNF blocker, so I get an injection now once month. I get this in addition to the methotrexate, and it seemed to help me return to normal. I was then finally able to completely taper off from using the prednisone, which I did about a week prior to the time of this writing. Since receiving my second dose, I have also received two boosters, which did not affect my RA or produce serious side effects. Last but not least, my guitar playing is just fine now.

I started to not feel well on 2/3/2023. I got progressively worse over the weekend on 2/4/2023 and 2/5/2023. I felt worse, but not terrible. On the morning of 2/6/2023, when I woke up, I was very dizzy and lightheaded. I was not able to walk well, even with the cane I normally use. I felt cold, so I bundled up with a lot of blankets and turned up the heat, but they didn't help with the freezing feeling. I kept getting dizzy, so I knew something was wrong. I went to the ER. I don't remember exactly what happened when I got there, because I was pretty out of it at the time. The next thing I remember is being in an ambulance and being told that I was being transferred to the critical care unit at another hospital. I don't remember much of anything else that happened until 2/7/2023. I remember having several IVs in my arms and being surrounded by nurses all around my bed. It was then that I was told where I was and that I had a massive urinary tract infection that had turned into sepsis. They verified through a CT scan that there was a possible malignant tumor on my left kidney. I am due to go to one of the local hospitals to undergo further CT scans in anticipation of a biopsy. I was discharged from the hospital on 2/10/2023. I am currently taking an antibiotic, levofloxacin. I am also on an electric oxygen generator that was prescribed by the doctors; I was also given portable oxygen bottles to use when and if I need to leave my home.
