Symptom narrative

About 2 days later I began to itch all over. I developed a rash on my right leg from my knee to my calf. It was also on my back and stomach. I had a burning feeling up and down my spine like my nerves were on fire. It affected my nervous system, and I felt like I was jumping out of my skin. My blood pressure was extremely high, and I felt like was having a stroke. I felt as if I needed to go the ER but waited to see my doctor. Went to the doctor because I felt like I was allergic to the vaccines. He took me off metformin and the trimethoprim and was given a steroid injection, which did not help. I had to go back to doctor in the next couple of days and was then referred to a dermatologist (name withheld) PA, (name withheld) Dermatology. She prescribed steroid meds and creams to apply to my rash. It does not seem any better and will follow up with her again tomorrow. I also started having a tooth ache but not sure if it is related so went to the dentist for x-rays. My blood pressure is fluctuating from high to low. I continue to have a tingling and itchy feeling sensation up and down my spine and also have brain fog.
