The following information was reported: URTICARIA (non-serious) with onset Sep2024, outcome "not recovered", described as "full blown hives on trunk, waist up to bottom of breasts, whole front sides and back all the way around"; FEELING HOT (non-serious) with onset Sep2024, outcome "unknown", PRURITUS (non-serious) with onset Sep2024, outcome "not recovered" and all described as "hot spots, and it itches". Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of urticaria, feeling hot, pruritus. Additional information: Patient has had a total of 9 shots of the Pfizer COVID vaccination starting 29Jan2021 and the last one was 06Sep2024. Had no symptoms, none of the shots gave her any symptoms. Patient's theory, why calling about this, is that sometime in July2024 started itching on outer thighs up to the hip, hip down to about 3/4 of the thigh, the leg, outside of legs, confirmed both legs, but especially right leg. Was scratching, scratching in July, but continued, didn't go away. Was not drawing blood at that time from scratching. Didn't think of it, didn't connect to COVID shot in her head. Hives: Start date: On 06Sep2024, got the 9th shot, that was Comirnaty also, that was her last shot. Within 3 to 4 days had full blown hives on her trunk, waist up to bottom of breasts, whole front sides and back all the way around, and that's when really started scratching. Went to MD in September, MD sent her to dermatologist, saw dermatologist twice, couldn't help her, sent her to immunologist, quit that immunologist because wanted to give her allergy shots for a year, once a week, and her share would have been $12,000. Patient has been to two immunologists. Patient had never been to allergic to anything she knows of, didn't go back to first immunologist. Patient got, found another immunologist, and she was on antihistamines. Patient was going to immunologist. HCP in formal fields was MD and was the first one that looked at her and sent to dermatologist, but MD did not know that much about it. Hives: Stop date, outcome: Doesn't look the same, has now what patient would call hot spots, and it itches, and patient scratches, ends up with small scabs, has small scabs all over in scalp, back, torso, itches on butt cheeks, hips, especially the outer leg area, been moving, increasing, increasing, so now has from knee down to ankle, arms also, but not real bad. Arms are probably, of the extremities, the least worrisome. Batch/lot number is not provided, and it cannot be obtained.
