MedDRA: Derealisation, Feeling abnormal, Indifference, Mood altered — Feeling: Fair · Fatigue or tiredness

Free text: Today I was out and about... driving, and doing errands. I noticed that I felt a sense of spaciness or unreality Kind of like detachment from the environment. This seems to be connected to the overly mellow mood I experienced when I first got the shot. Nothing terrible. I was fully functional. But I just kind of felt like not quite myself. I also felt like I just wanted to go home and rest. I cant say for sure thats a reaction to the shot. It might be a reaction to the pandemic

MedDRA: Affect lability, Appetite disorder, Breast tenderness, Immediate post-injection reaction, Irritability, Menopause, Unevaluable event — Feeling: Fair · Get care from a doctor or other healthcare professional · Telehealth, virtual health, or email health consultation

Free text: Systemic reaction (other): I am realizing that the excessive hunger I experienced right after getting the shot, followed by emotional lability and irritability a few days later, plus breast tenderness (now), are caused by some kind of hormonal activation that started when I got the shot. I am 10 years post menopausal and never get symptoms like this otherwise. It feels like early pregnancy ( which is not a possibility. I am 66 years old, single, and havent even had TEA with another human in months, let alone anything else). It didnt make sense to me that a shot could cause these symptoms, but its happening and its quite striking. I discovered some threads by other women on Twitter and Reddit, who are experiencing heavy and /or prolonged periods due to either the vaccine, or COVID itself. Im post menopausal but still experiencing this. Please not I have(b)(6) (an occasional extra X chromosome- discovered during genetic testing years ago) so maybe I am more susceptible to estrogen changes? Not sure. But something hormonal is definitely going on, due to the shot. I realize estrogen may have a protective effect for immunity so maybe its part of building an immune response. Thought you should know. · Healthcare visit (other): I made an appointment with my therapist to discuss emotions. Will be a telehealth visit, tomorrow
