Their Stories

Blister, Rash pruritic and Pain in extremity

1.31.2021 – I have tiny tiny blisters on my left hand 2 fingers. I appear then like pop. Then you see and feel them under the skin and then they raise up again. Actually had them a couple hours after vaccine but thought it was something else but as my husband and I sat and went day by day my actions. We both think its from the vaccine. It started with a terrible pain in my patty of my middle finger that hurt and thought it was sliver. Today finally I took clippers and realized it was a cluster of tiny blisters. Now patty part feels fine no pain but blister surround finger inside and Dow to my ringer finger. My vaccine was also in my left arm. But I have felt fine and still feel fine. Just odd blisters. .

His heart rate was very high (100+), and he felt difficulty to breath. The situation lasted about ten days until he went to see a doctor to get the medicine.
