12.28.2020 – Just that I had a sore arm the day after my vaccination , not sure if I told you before.

1.6.2021 – On Saturday 1/2/21 (10 days after my first Pfizer shot) I had a low grade fever (99.1 - 99.6 degrees F) for about 3 hours and I had chills for just a few minutes which prompted me to take me temperature and notice the elevation.

1.13.2021 – I had a short lived fever of 100.4 last night and no other symptoms. I am scheduled to get my 2nd Pfizer tomorrow morning if my rapid COVID test comes back negative. I had both the PCR and rapid tests done. Quarantine until my results come back.

Paralysis, Neurological symptom and Nasal discomfort

2.26.2021 – I've very briefly felt chills & headache today, but these symptoms could be attributed to my Fibromyalgia, with which I frequently experience these symptoms. Also, I had an unusual burning sensation in my nose for a brief time today

2.27.2021 – Either sore throat or swollen lymph nodes in neck, but for only a small portion of the day.

2.28.2021 – I have Fibromyalgia, so the fatigue is a normal daily symptom that interferes with my ability to do work and/or other normal daily activities. However, I can differentiate it from the distinct and severe "Run-down" feeling I experienced today. This morning (day 3), I felt remarkably better than the night before. Therefore, any symptoms I feel today I am certain is only from Fibromyalgia and NOT from the vaccine.

5.14.2021 – Debilitating fatigue, pain, and weakness. Exhaustion to the point of breathlessness. 15-20+ min of activity induces collapse. More research needs to be done on how the vaccine affects people with rheumatological disease (like RA) & Fibromyalgia.
