Symptom narrative

Diplopia, sagging right eyelid, difficulty chewing and swallowing food which began days after receiving both injections of covid and shingrix in the same arm. notably this was the patients third Shingrix vaccine as the pharmacist messed up and/or stated that the illinois vaccine database said that he said not already received his second Shingrix years prior (which he had records of). Patient was evaluated by neurology and ophthalmology and was found to have Myasthenia Gravis. Now on Mestinon; occasionally requires prednisone for flares.
