Their Stories

Periarthritis, Injected limb mobility decreased and Epistaxis

1.15.2021 – The pain at the injection site is mild during the day, but moderate with more discomfort at night.

1.27.2021 – Woke up with a nosebleed this morning. Blood pressure is higher than it usually is.

2.3.2021 – Blood pressure has been high, Dr. increased my meds. Had two nose bleeds this week. Dr. will see me in 2 weeks Left message with nurse, she spoke with Dr.

2.14.2021 – My left shoulder joint is sore and painful with use.

2.15.2021 – I am still having problems using my left arm. She put the injection high on the arm almost in the shoulder joint.

2.16.2021 – I am a RN, I do not think all of the pain in my left arm is vaccine related. I think the woman who gave me the vaccine missed the muscle in my upper arm and inserted the vaccine in the joint. My left arm now has all symptoms of a frozen shoulder. She placed the shot high above the muscle in my left upper arm.

2.17.2021 – I am still having problems/pain with left arm, although it is a somewhat less painful today. The pain started just below the injection site(which I believe was injected into the wrong spot on my left arm).

Protein urine, Chromaturia and Blood urine present

1.21.2021 – Yes- the link wouldnt cooperate with me yesterday, but I had a fever of 100.1. Was rough. Much better now.

1.22.2021 – I had a fever two nights after shot (shot was Monday, fever Tuesday). Could not get checklist to work that day.

2.17.2021 – Red urine. Is there someone I can talk to about it??

2.18.2021 – My urine was discolored during the high fever. I thought it was dehydration. Yesterday, it turned pink, and I realized it was blood. I went to urgent care last night. The doctor there said there was some bacteria in my urine sample. Prescribed keflex, which I began taking right away. I still feel awful and have pink urine. I am convinced this is related to the vaccine. I was fine before this. I dont believe I shouldve had the second shot, after my reaction to the first. I have a feeling Im not done with this.

2.19.2021 – There is still blood in my urine. I am taking antibiotics.

3.11.2021 – I cant say it enough- something happened when I had that second shot. I have to see a urologist now. Going to the office on Friday, was at my gynecologists this last Friday. (I had was peeing blood after the shot. Was treated for UTI. Still have sons blood and protein in urine.)
