Clinical narrative: I could feel something wrong at the time of injection. I made the comment that the serum felt too thick or that the needle was larger than normal. Within 1 hour I was hit with exhaustion. Body aches started within 4 hours. By 8 PM, I had terrible joint and severe back ache, extreme exhaustion, massive skull-splitting headache, felt feverish, terrible chills, all skin felt like it had the top layer peeled with a vegetable peeler, upset stomach, and stuffed up nose. I was unable to get out of bed for 48 (day 1 and 2) hours with the above symptoms. Then day (3-4), I was able to get out of bed and sit in a chair. I still had the joint/back ache, extreme exhaustion, headache, peeled skin feeling and stuffed up nose. Day 5-7 each day brought a slight relief of symptoms. On day 8, I felt mostly back to my normal self. I was just as sick as I was the last time that I had the actual flu (which was in 2012). The only difference was that I did not have a sore throat this time. I have been getting the flu vaccine for over 18 years without any reaction at all. I could tell something was wrong at the time of injection.
