Symptom narrative

A few days after the first vaccine I began experiencing joint pain in my hands and wrists. It has gotten worse since then. By mid-April, the throbbing in my hands would wake up in the night. My hands felt like they were the size of bratwursts! I avoid ibuprofen as much as possible due to gastritis which I began dealing with a couple years ago, after a bout of covid. But I took max amount of ibuprofen for a few days in mid-April and it did knock down the pain in my hands. But then the gastritis got worse. The joint paint has been getting worse, and now I have pain in my elbows, hips, neck and feet.
