Clinical narrative: On 9/10/18 around 3:30 in afternoon received first shingle shot of 2 part series.  By 7 or so my back hurt so bad had to go to bed.  Nothing relieved it.  Back hurt for several days and on 9/14/2018 noticed a rash and went to health clinic and confirmed I had shingles.  May be coincidence but afraid to get the 2 part shingles shots again.  Contacted manufacturer and they never tested anyone who had the live shingles shot previously.  I had live shingle shot when I was 60 years.

Symptoms: Anxiety, Dizziness, Fear, Hyperhidrosis, Lethargy
Clinical narrative: Within a minute after the injection, patient got up and was trying to check out with the receptionist when very suddenly felt lightheaded, dizzy, blurred vision, started to sweat uncontrollably and then proceeded to go to the rest room to vomit. At this time he was trying to ask if what he was feeling was from the shot, but was having trouble communicating because he was feeling so ill. The office tried to sit him down in a chair far away, but he had so much lethargy that they decided a room would be better for him to recover in.  Then one of the doctors informed patient's wife (myself) to come in because of a change in basal temperature. It seemed to us that both doctors were thinking this reaction was psychological in nature caused by fear or anxiety of getting the shot. After I joined my husband the doctor offered a cup of water and later a cup of Gatorade. The patient also sat on the patient table and brought his knees to his chest as recommended by Dr. During all of this time, he is sweaty very heavily with blurred vision.

Swelling traveling behind injection site toward the back of the arm just above the elbow. Treated for possible skin infection w/ Cephalexin 250 mg. On 05/08/2019 Calls into and missing the office.

During the morning @ work on 05/28/2019 the shoulder pain I was having was unlike anything I'd ever had before. I was scared and called the doctors office because it was radiating toward my chest and starting to grip really bad. I was informed by Dr.'s nurse that I should then go to the E.R. which is what I did. Many hours later,tested, treated and released. Robaxin 4x daily. No cardiac results. On 06/05/2019 I went to PCP for the follow up on the E.R. visit. See, series of small checks. Neck x-ray ordered, MEG test and nerve conduction test ordered. Cyclobenzaprine and Prednisone prescribed. No relief when pills are even half gone. MEDS ARE NOT WORKING FOR THE PAIN< TINGLING AND NUMBNESS.
