Clinical narrative: Had appointment at 09:45 on 12/3/02 at clinic. Was given 2 vaccines at approximately 10:30; same day - pneumococcal and influenza. By 13:00, I was running 103 fever with joint and body pain and severe headaches. I called clinic that gave shots on 12/4/02 to talk to nurse about problems and she said come in on 12/5/02 about 13:00 and she would try to work me in. I've been through this before so I didn't go, since also I was on crutches and had so much swelling and soreness on right arm below arm pit where they gave both shots in some place I could not use crutch. By late Thursday night, 12/5/02, I started getting rash from right arm, arm pit, across entire back to waist, around sides and started to go to chest. The lowest I got my fever was 102.8 taking Tylenol every 4 hours, and my lower back, kidneys started hurting real bad and hard to urinate, and or burning. Early 12/6/02 Friday morning, I had bad sweats to where my night clothes were sopping wet and then my fever went down to 99.5, the lowest it had been since I had shots. I called the ask a nurse at hospital where I had got shots from  their clinic that morning and the RN said I need to be seen. So I was there by 10:00AM on 12/6/02 Friday after being seen at the hospital clinic, I was sent to ER, after being seen by their RN and waiting longer I was sent back to another part of the ER to see a doctor. When the nurse saw my rash and other things and said I needed to be admitted to ER about 15:30, they put IV's in my arm, took blood, gave shots in IV and left arm, EKG, X-Rays. By about 22:00, my fever was down and headache better and they let me go saying I had the flu. That is BS; they just didn't want to file paper work as required by law. My BP was 175/96 at first clinic and temperature was 99.5; this was never either one again all night long. By 03:00 Saturday, 12/7/02, my fever was up to 99.5 again and my rash rash was burning, itching and hurting. This was until Sunday afternoon. My fever is down, my kidney's are finally not hurting but till this day, I still have leftovers of the rash though its not hurting and getting better. I know now why you show a low percent of problems these affects are never reported by doctors.
