Symptom narrative

I've had two reactions: within a day of getting the vaccine I got my period over a week early, and it as extremely heavy (filling tampons more than twice as fast as usual), and period lasted twice as long as normal. Second reaction a week and a half later (April 28) was full body hives that bruised, swelled, and itched terribly. I got hives anywhere something rubbed against my skin, requiring a trip to urgent care, a prescription medication, and I haven't been able to work for three days and counting.
