Symptoms: Activities of daily living impaired, Arthralgia, Asthenia, Blood test, Computerised tomogram
Clinical narrative: Received S Zostavax and within an hour the area of the inocculation on the right arm, was sensitive to touch and ached.  By the next day the area was red, swollen and aching.  The swelling extended up the arm.  Pain developed in the arm, neck and head.  General aches & pains in joints and muscles in the entire body.  I returned to the doctor and began using Benadryl for the reaction and ice on the swollen area.  I developed ringing in my right ear that is still loud enough to be a interference in my hearing.  I have been seeing chiropractor for pain in my neck, back, shoulder and hip joints.  I have had 3 incidents of dizziness where I can't lay down to sleep and have difficulty walking.  I can not drive, during these incidents, as if I turn my head, the world spins and I could wreck.  I have missed several days of work on and off due to medical appointments, pain, and confusion. I have started back on antiverts today to try to alleviate the dizzines and nauseau.  I may need to visit an ENT to discuss the ringing in my ear. I did not have the painful joints, neck pain, headaches and dizzy spells prior to this shot.  I had a cat skan to rule out stokes or other brain desease.  I have had blood work, urine test and complete physical.  My energy levels are low and I can't do the physical activities that I have enjoyed in the past.  I know these are not the normal side effects, but I have discussed this with my physican and she feels what I have been suffering could be caused from a virus.  I believe this virus is the shingles/chicken pox.

Clinical narrative: She is a 28-year-old intern in biostatistics who is here with left upper extremity pain, post a TDAP shot that she got on May 5.  She had just arrived, was working in Biostatistics as a summer intern, and had that shot given to her here in the left deltoid.  Over the next few days, she had a lot of muscle aches that involved the upper left arm.  Occasionally she would get lancinating sharp stabbing pains into her hands and her forearm.  This pain in the arm went on, fairly severe and uncomfortable for about a week.  About five to seven days into this she developed a fever, lightheadedness, nausea.  This lasted for two or three days.  The episodes of lightheadedness were where she would pass out.  She was nauseated.  That would last for 30 minutes or so and then get a little better but then come back, and this happened about four or five times per day for the two or three days that she had that.  Then, the lightheadedness, fever, nausea passed, and she felt better.  Associated with that lightheadedness she had a cramping pain several times a day that involved her left leg. About a week after the shot she felt that her left arm became weak.  She noted that the pain changed.  Rather than there being a constant pain she would notice pain when she would move the arm.  When she would abduct her arm at the shoulder she would notice pain.  She developed some symptoms in her left leg, some prickling and tingling in the left foot, but more of a cramping pain in the left calf that came several times over the two or three days that she had the fever-type of symptoms. Then, the lower limb symptoms subsided, and now she feels that she has some ongoing weakness in the left arm.  She has a hard time pulling a door open.  She has a hard time reaching over her arms.  When she does these things, she gets pain in the upper arm, so it is not entirely clear if she is weak or whether it just hurts her to do these things.  Her hands have been okay. She has no symptoms in the right upper extremity.  She has no other symptoms in her lower extremities. She was seen by Dr., who discussed her case with me.
