Itched a little which caused me to discover the reaction. Severe headache and very sweaty and just felt bad. Didn't sleep well the first night before I even knew I was reacting and 2nd night didn't sleep well either due to sweating and pain. Had a rapid heartbeat and could feel my heart beat when still and had sores on tongue. Pain and bruising moved down the underside of upper arm.

Clinical narrative: Hives. Started with just bumps I could feel on thighs by the morning of 10/12 the bumps had turned to hives from the waist down. I took a dose of Benadryl. Hives subsided for 12 hours woke up 2:00 a.m. 10/13 with hives from the injection site on arm all the way down my legs. Took Benadryl again and subsided until 10:00 am 10/13 and then hives appeared again but less only on knees and elbows. 10/13 4:30 PM, currently, only a couple hives on knees. Itching much less. Options were limited because exclusively breastfeeding. If hand't been breastfeeding would have went to ER when hives appeared at 2:00 AM on 10/13 but afraid to take steroids. Called nurse on call 10/12 and then had mobile "doctor" appointment by phone on 10/13 at 4:00 PM. Throat got itchy and slightly swollen but airway was not constricted.  Hoping that the worst of it is gone. Advised to go to ER or Doctor.  Took pictures of the hives.

Symptoms: Electrocardiogram, Erythema, Gaze palsy, Loss of consciousness, Malaise
Clinical narrative: Within 2 minutes of vaccination, child felt ill, was hot to touch, and needed to sit, was hot to the touch; he turned pale, then he turned rigid, his eyes rolled back in head and he became nonresponsive, and he stopped breathing and was red and unconscious. His rigid body was placed on the floor and b/c he was not breathing on his own, rescue breathing was administered.  The child came back with a gasp and opened his eyes on about the third rescue breath.  He was taken by ambulance to the ER and observed.  The parent was told that this was syncope/fainting, which the parent disagreed with.  The doctor asked why and the parent explained that the child had once in his life fainted and was limp and breathing, but that this was a seizure because of the eyes, rigidity (including jaws), and lack of breathing. Rather than accept that this was a post- flu vaccine seizure as has been documented with other children, the doctor said that syncope can mimic a seizure.  A check of the CDC website confirmed 4 reported cases last year of post- flu vaccine seizures, most which were a quick recovery within 2 minutes.
