Symptom narrative

she had nodules in her thyroid so she had half of her thyroid removed a couple of few weeks ago; terrible body pains over all body pains; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP from medical information team. A 50-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), in Jan2022 as dose 3 (booster), single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) at the age of 50 years for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "Hashimoto's disease" (unspecified if ongoing). There were no concomitant medications. Vaccination history included: Bnt162b2 (DOSE 1, SINGLE; Lot number: unknown), administration date: Jun2021, for COVID-19 treatment; Bnt162b2 (DOSE 2, SINGLE; Lot number: unknown), administration date: Jul2021, for COVID-19 treatment. The following information was reported: PAIN (non-serious) with onset 2022, outcome "unknown", described as "terrible body pains over all body pains"; THYROID MASS (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "she had nodules in her thyroid so she had half of her thyroid removed a couple of few weeks ago". The event "terrible body pains over all body pains" required physician office visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Body height: 5 8, notes: She is about 5 8; Weight: 120, notes: her weight 120 something like that. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of thyroid mass, pain. Clinical course: The caller was reporting on behalf of her daughter who was the patient. The patient complained of terrible body pain for the last 3 years. She got her first Pfizer Covid vaccine shot on Jun2021, second shot on Jul2021, and Pfizer Covid booster on Jan2022. She wanted to know any possibility that the terrible body pain was due to the shots. They have expanded all their options and had consulted 9 different specialists, and no one seems to know what was causing the pain. When the patient first experienced the pain, the caller remembered that it was like right shortly after she got the booster. She had no other vaccines except these three shots of Covid vaccine. The patient had this pain for three years and she finally about a month ago had half of her thyroid removed but it had nothing to do with this pain according to the caller. The patient had Hashimoto's disease, and the caller was thinking that it can be the cause of pain too. She had been seen by a lot of different doctors, but no one had been able to help her. She tried massage, physical therapy and acupuncture but nothing had helped her with the pain. She just had her thyroid removed but the caller thinks that was not related to the pain. She had nodules in her thyroid, and she had half of her thyroid removed a couple of few weeks ago. They were trying to narrow down what could be causing this pain that she had, if it was vaccine or the Hashimoto's disease, no one seems to know. The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 will be requested and submitted if and when received.
