Their Stories

Patient isolation, Odynophagia and Respiratory symptom

Back muscle in injection site is also with mild soreness

My neck/throat/ear was mildly sore when swallowing the second half of yesterday but is fine today. It felt weird and I couldnt tell if it was sickness or muscle soreness.

I probably had Omicron COVID 1/2022. Low grade fever 4 days, URI Symptoms. I did not test, just isolated for 9 days. This was my first time to be around someone I knew was sick with not wearing an N95 since the vaccine. I am a doctor. I treated myself.

Eye pruritus, Sneezing and Myalgia

Yesterday, sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose. Mild symptoms.Odd since everything is covered in snow where I live.

These symptoms occurred yesterday (Tuesday). I got a flu shot and the Pfizer booster on Monday. I never had a reaction to previous flu shots or the first two Pfizer shots. Today, Wednesday, I feel fine.

Very dizzy when I got out of bed this morning, persisted for about five minutes. Never happened before.

I did have injection-site and muscle pain and fatigued for 2 days after I got the shot

Dyspnea exertional, Dry throat and Hypersomnia

Joint pains had prior to vaccine.

Had chills off & on & was very tired & slept a lot a few days ago.

Lightheaded after breakfast on 4 consecutive days in June. Was seen by doctor in regular clinic & had EKG. Was referred to a cardiologist.

Getting winded walking up stairs & around the block. Premature Ventricular Contractions were diagnosed 2 years ago. I still have them & now may need to go on medication for them. Recently I did have an echocardiogram & stress test. See previous notes about echocardiogram & stress test

Want to mention that I'm doing this for the Moderna booster I received, not the 2-shot vaccine.

Pain in top of feet, in upper arm (especially upon waking), in wrists & not much energy
