Clinical narrative: Was given Shingles vaccine at same time as flu vaccine on 9/24/13. By that evening I was already feeling sick. By the morning I was throwing up & had a fever up to 104, blurry vision, weakness & couldn't get up. One week later started getting fire & pain sensation in both legs. To date I still suffer from the pain & fire in my legs. It has spread to my upper body. Also suffering from memory loss. I was a very active person, enjoying time outdoors, taking long walks, enjoying my grandchildren. I was very healthy prior to having these vaccinations. I expressed to my medical provider that I 100% feel this has been caused by the Shingles vaccine. Was finally diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Other than a thyroid issue & high blood pressure, I had NO problems prior to having these vaccinations.
