Clinical narrative: He got his vaccine, didn't really have any reaction other than the arm soreness the next day.  8 days later he woke up one morning and he felt like he had an appendicitis, pain in his lower abdomen.  He went to work and eventually went away after 4-5 hours.  Then he had a pain all across his stomach that lasted the remainder of the day, perhaps 12 hours.  The next day it was completely gone.  Then he was fine the day after that, but after that he went to work and he felt like he was having trouble breathing, heavy chested feeling.  He was almost ready to drive himself to the ER and was short of breath.  This lasted for about 3 hours and went away and was then fine.  The next day after that they went out to get a pizza and his daughter asked if he was feeling okay, had an uneasy feeling in his stomach and she informed him that his lips were purple, which when he checked they were bluish purple and lasted the entire evening.  The next day that was gone and never came back again.  The following day while sitting at his desk in his home office both arms got clammy, hot and sweaty.  This lasted maybe 3-5 minutes and went away, never happened again.  He went to work the following day and he came home and it was a real hot sunny day, was outside the entire day.  He noticed the right side of his head felt like he had sunburn/sensitive.  He was mowing his lawn and brush against a pine tree and that felt like needles against his head.  He asked if he had a sunburn on his head to his wife, right side only divided down the middle.  This went on for a couple of days and on Monday he decided to call a nurse hotline and ask some questions and see what they felt it could be.  They told him to go to the ER as they felt it was serious.  Said it was a red flag, and he did not go to the ER.  He called his doctor and made an appointment, and by then he had a rash on his forehead, and she looked at him and said that it sounded like it was the beginning of shingles, which got worse and that was indeed what he had.  It went into his eye and had to go to an eye doctor, but not into his optic nerve.  It has since all cleared up which took about 3 weeks for it to go away, still has some sensitivity in that area, but pretty much gone.    Since having the shingles he has not had anything additional.  While he was being diagnosed with that he had the shingles he did not mention his other symptoms.  They asked him if he had recently gotten the vaccine and told them that he did 3 weeks prior and was supposed to get the vaccine the following week and then told them about the reactions he had, and told him to think about getting the 2nd vaccine.   While having the shingles he was put on an antiviral and he had back pain, severe pain that felt like somebody beat him with a baseball bat which lasted for about 2 days, and then kind of went down into his hips, legs, and knee caps that felt like they were going to explode.  He has never felt anything that has felt like that that possibly be related to the 1st vaccine, and did not get the 2nd one due to the reactions that he has had.  He is scared to get the 2nd vaccine.
