Symptom narrative

I received a COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. Within approximately 24 hours of vaccination, I awoke with a severe migraine/headache and intense sweating (night sweats/diaphoresis). Beginning the day after vaccination, I developed new-onset, persistent, widespread body pain that has continued chronically since onset. Over the ensuing weeks to months, additional symptoms developed and persisted, including orthostatic intolerance consistent with POTS (e.g., tachycardia/lightheadedness on standing), severe fatigue, brain fog/cognitive difficulty, and significant sleep disturbance/insomnia. Symptoms have been ongoing since onset and have significantly impacted my day-to-day functioning. I have not returned to my pre-vaccination baseline. Timeline (fill in dates if you have them): ? Date of vaccination (2021): [MM/DD/YYYY] COVID-19 vaccine, dose [#1/#2/booster], manufacturer [Pfizer/Moderna/J&J/other if known]. ? Within ~24 hours: Woke with severe migraine/headache and severe sweating/diaphoresis. ? Day 1 after vaccination: Onset of diffuse, whole-body pain that became persistent/chronic. ? Following days/weeks: Continued headaches and sweating; onset/persistence of fatigue, brain fog, and sleep disruption. ? Following weeks/months: Development of orthostatic intolerance/POTS-like symptoms (tachycardia/lightheadedness on standing) and ongoing widespread pain with fibromyalgia . ? Current status (as of 01/28/2026): Symptoms remain ongoing: chronic widespread pain, POTS-like symptoms, sleep disturbance, fatigue, and brain fog. Impact/Severity Symptoms are persistent and have caused substantial functional impairment (activities of daily living, work capacity, exercise tolerance, and sleep). Symptoms have been ongoing since 2021 without full resolution.
