Would it be safe to get a COVID booster after a weird reaction from the first shots?

F26, 4'10", 95lbs, GERD, hormonal acne/imbalance

Medications/supplements: MSM for inflammation, inositol for hormones/acne; i was on spironolactone at the time of the incident for the same

I got my first COVID shots in April of 2021, the Pfizer one. The first part was ok, just some soreness; the second shot, however, was really rough, and now I'm afriad to ever get one again. I got the normal extreme arm soreness & flu-like symptoms, but I also had these really weird symptoms that I can barely explain.

First, my entire body itched head to toe for about a week straight. Like a deep, burning itch that nothing could satisfy, on every single inch of my body. I'd take the hottest possible showers I could day & night bc that was the only thing that helped even a little bit. I could barely sleep bc I was just so itchy. I never had a rash either, so I really don't understand what that was.

After that, I broke out into itchy ant bite-like sores all over my lips, mouth, throat, and a few on my hands and the tops of my feet. This occurred about every two weeks after that for several months. Possibly herpes? I still get them now but it's way milder and every couple of months.

My period also acted wonky, but I know that's common.

I'm terrified of getting a booster bc my reaction was just so strange and idk anyone else who experienced something similar. But I do want to get one bc I finally got COVID in July 2022 and I'm only just now recovering from the extreme fatigue and exercise intolerance...I just want to protect myself, but I don't know if I can handle being that itchy again, especially because I don't know why I reacted that way. ;__;
