Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

"I am a 63 year old healthy woman, mom of two grown daughters. I don't take any medications, don't smoke, don't drink much alcohol (wine from time to time at social occasions), have a generally healthy diet, do lots of walking and gardening. I have only received one dose so far of the Pfizer vaccine on 8/24/21. Other than arm soreness the next day, I did not notice any immediate side effects. About 1-2 weeks after though, my right eye began twitching all day long off and on for about 3 weeks. It just eased up finally this past week. My eye would twitch for about 5 minutes every 30 minutes most of each day. It was very strange. Of course, I have experienced very occasional eye twitches in the past, but it was rare and if and when it happened and it would be an isolated incident and not a continual re-occuring thing. I cannot attribute this weird continual eye twitching to anything other than the vaccine and I am reticent to get the second dose now.
