Symptom narrative

Vaccine Not listed above - received Capvaxive, received ~ 4 pm on Dec 9, 2025, by 7 pm my arm was sore, red and warm with induration and redness, I felt fatigue and went to bed early, I woke up with worse fatigue, no appetite and arm pain and now swelling, by 12 noon on Dec 10, I was in bed with presumed low grade fever, progressively worsening body aches and pain, did not eat all day, could barely walk, felt nauseated and spent the rest of the day and night in bed for ~ 24 hours, systemic symptoms began to improve after 24 hours however the arm swelling, redness, heat and pain worsened, suggestive of a sterile cellulitis picture, no fevers, there was > 20-25 cm red hot area and at the injection site 7-10 cm firm, tender, induration, There was some mild improvement with allegra and ibuprofen. Over the next few days the symptoms continued to be present, there were twinges of pain that continue to present. As of today Dec 14, 2024 there is less overall redness, the indurated area at the injection site is still firm and tender with twinges of severe pain and the left arm remains painful with movement.
