Panic attack, Stress and Aphonia

So excited to be vaccinated!!! Thank you!!

Uncontrollable full-body shivering brought on by the chills last night, which lasted for about half an hour.

I had one day of full body ache/lethargy, most likely due to extreme stress with work and personal life (which caused a panic attack the day before).

Lost most of my voice this past Sunday, and today (Friday) it is almost back to normal. Wasn't accompanied by a sore throat though. I did at home and rapid test, both were negative.

Pain in my legs. This could be from sitting at a desk all day though.

Pain/ache in my legs, mostly my calves.

Fatigue is normal for me. Im menopausal.

I believe the symptoms Im experiencing have to do with menopause not my vaccine but I will report them anyway. I am always fatigued, and the joints of my legs and hips are increasingly painful. I also have extreme hot flashes and mood swings.

Severe bruising at injection site. Also, my nausea, headache, and fatigue, is fairly normal for me as I suffer from extreme migraines unrelated to Covid shots.

Not today, but the day after my shot last week I did have a low-grade fever of 99° and bodyaches and fatigue. But not today.

Sore throat

Costochondritis, Colitis and Injection site swelling

Left arm pain where I got the shot it is swollen I put ice on it and it is painful to lift what to use

Every day so far since I've gotten the shot I have had to answer these questions. I am concerned about the redness and the swelling and the pain associated where I got the injection. No one has called me and we are now going on day 5 of my adverse reactions to the immunization. I'm wondering if I even need the second dose since my reactions were so extreme. Many people that got the first dose did not have a reaction as I have now had for 5 days. When I close these correspondences with idph it tells me someone will call me but no one called me.
