Additional information: The patient got every adverse reactions possible and they were still lingering on 4 days after they've started. The patient's doctor had really no recommendation in terms of how to treat medically to either reduce the severity or to eliminate the side effects which the patient got, headache, muscle ache, joint pain, fever, everyone that's listed except for pain at the injection site. Most of the muscle pain and joint pain had subsided, but the patient had waves of fever, the patient got a low-grade fever and then it went away, it came back. The patient did not take any previous pneumonia vaccines, like Prevnar 13 and primary doctor said the patient had got this new Prevnar 20 and it only takes one shot, so, the patient agreed give it to him, but he didn't discuss any of the potential side effects, the patient felt like he had pneumonia. The patient was in such pain he couldn't sleep the other night, his muscles... legs, upper/lower legs, knees, back, and muscles were aching and so were his joints. The patient didn't' get any side effects until 7 days later. He felt perfectly fine for the first week. It was Sunday night into Monday morning that the patient started feeling poorly, started feeling it the patient thought it was on 12Oct2025, 4 days ago. The patient even tested under his doctor's recommendation; the patient went out and took the covid and flu A and B test and they were all negative. That's why the patient started to search the side effects of the vaccine and low and behold, the patient had virtually every one of them. The doctor told patient to take Mucinex cold and flu and Nyquil at night, the patient was actually been doing that and that's minimized most of the symptoms but the patient certainly didn't expect that after he had a low grade fever and then it went away that it would come back and it's done that 2 or 3 times. The patient had never had this type of reaction to any vaccines. None. In addition to the Mucinex and Nyquil, caller added, and lots of water. The patient also had the headache came and went and been taking Ibuprofen for that because the other medications didn't seem to touch the headache. But they addressed muscle pains and aches and not sure they were doing anything for the fever either. When the patient spoke to doctors, they didn't have a lot of answers, they didn't even suggest, when the patient mentioned it could be side effects from the vaccination, they said it sounds like a virus and recommended the guidance the patient said. The patient doubted it, he took off sick days maybe once every 5 years, the patient didn't get sick very often, the patient never had covid and the patient only took the first two doses of the vaccine. The patient felt better off and on, it just kept coming back, which was the part that was more frustrating then anything, it just kept coming back. 7 days after vaccination, the patient felt like he was "dying". The patient had muscle ache, joint hurt. The patient had headache. The patient had a fever. He couldn't sleep. The patient was not made aware of the side effects. The side effects that came on basically Sunday (12Oct2025) evening of this week, which was 6 and a half days after the took the shot, Monday the 6th of Oct (06Oct2025).
