Clinical narrative: Received the second Shingrix shot on 12/14/19 at about 11AM.  Experienced some pain while the injection was being made but nothing severe.  At about 3PM on 12/14 I experienced severe pain in the left elbow and shoulder.  I tried to raise my left arm to shoulder height but couldn't.  I also had severe pain opening my driver's side car door and fount driving difficult.  Severe pain continued throughout the evening.  I also had difficulty showering since I couldn't lift my left arm.  My wife had to dry my back and assist me with getting dressed.  At the end of the evening she also had to help me to get in bed and pull the covers up.  I usually get up several times during the night to urinate.  Each time I got up was extremely painful and required my wife's  assistance.  When I got up at about 8am, I also needed her assistance as the pain was still appreciably.  Finally at about 10AM on 12/15 the pain in my left elbow and shoulder plus the injection site started to reduce.  After reading the Vaccine Information Sheet I decided to report my Severe adverse reaction.  The form also mentioned that symptoms like mind usually go away in 2-3 days.  I sure hope so.  Never had this before for other vaccines,.

Clinical narrative: Saturday Morning December 14th the patient woke up and said she couldn't roll over in bed and that it took her a few minutes to roll over, then it took her a few minutes to sit up. She said she wasn't in pain, her body "just wasn't working". Then she had trouble standing, and it took a few minutes before she could walk, and she had to walk with her walker. She also starting getting a prickly/burning sensation in her middle finger on both hands that went all the way to her wrists. (She has had carpal tunnels in the past). She reports that all of these issues resolved within about a half hour. She isn't sure if any of this was related to the vaccine, but we wanted to report still just in case.

Clinical narrative: On Sept. 5, 2019, I went to the Pharmacy to pick up a prescription. I was approached by a young woman in a white coat who suggested that I should get a shingles vaccine.  I asked about side effects and asked for literature.  I was not provided any information (no brochure): the woman stated that the vaccine was safe ? she sold me on the ?Shingrix? vaccine.   Since the woman was wearing a white coat, I thought she must be a new pharmacist.  However, I had not seen her before, nor have I seen her since:  I suspect that she was a drug company salesperson.  I have since reviewed the material regarding ?Shingrix?.  Had I been aware of the potential for harm I would not have agreed to the vaccination.  Further, I am informed by my personal physician that because of my health history, I should never have received the vaccination.  On awakening the morning of Sept. 6, 2019, I had sharp pain in my lower legs: a burning sensation (hot and prickly).   Thereafter I have developed weakness in my legs such that I cannot walk without pain.  I must use a cane or crutches.  Thereafter I made an appointment with a Neurologist; tests showed severe peripheral neuropathy.   Shortly thereafter I consulted with my acupuncturist who is very familiar with my health history over the past 25 years.  In her opinion, the condition is most likely a vaccine reaction.  This diagnosis was confirmed by my primary care physician.  At present my treatment plan includes: (1) weekly acupuncture treatments; (2) weekly physical therapy; (3) weekly massage therapy; and (4) 3 times weekly chiropractic laser treatment.    I am advised that the nerve damage is permanent and potential for a cure is slim: I can barely walk.  Summary:  Based on the facts and the opinions of my several health care providers, I am convinced that I have been injured by improper administration of Shingrix vaccine.  Prior to the injury and since the time of my youth I have been very physically active (intercollegiate competitive athlete).  At the time of the injury I was active in a family owned business in which I can no longer function.  My husband and I are being forced to close the business.   My ability to maintain my home is severely impaired and the costs of my treatment and assistance with home maintenance are a significant burden.  At present I am in the process of re-activating my professional licensing: I am a qualified Mental Health Counselor.  I am scheduled to take the licensing examination in January.  My opportunities are limited by the crippling condition.

Clinical narrative: No reaction on day 1.  On day 2, by 24 hours the entire left shoulder from arm to spine was hurting and a bit swollen,   Day 3: by 48 hours the pain reached from left shoulder to right shoulder, or from arm to arm.  After a week or so, the outsides (towards the arm) and the pain remained close to the spine on either side.  I thought it would get better, so I just didn't go to the doctor for a couple of months.  I remain in mild to moderate pain and can clean house, but cannot do heavy lifting and some yard tasks such as raking and turning compost.

Symptoms: Immediate post-injection reaction, Injected limb mobility decreased, Injection site pain, Pain
Clinical narrative: Received shot 11/11/2019 to  upper shoulder part of arm.  The injection was given much higher up above a previous injection scar on the same arm.  The shot hurt and I asked the nurse if this was going to be a painful shot like a tetanus shot that last for a few day.  She said it would hurt.  The shot began  hurting immediately, but she said it would.  The next couple of days it still hurt, but I thought this was normal for my age taking longer to heal.  The next few days my shoulder was getting  worst and I had limited movement painful to put arm in jacket or lift arm above head or move  shoulder.  11/20/2019 I called and left a message and the nurse called me back  and said that  I am having an allergic reaction to the shot and to take some ibupropen.  I did but it did not help and my should still hurt.  I made an appointment and went in on 12/12/2019 because the second shot was due and I wanted to talk about the pain from the first shot to find out how to cure it before getting the second shot.  The Doctor examined my arm and prescribed Prednisone 20MG.   She said the steroid would helps with the pain.   It did and I no longer have limited motion.  Still a little soreness, but not pain like before.   I  see doctor 12/20/2019 followup. She said she will decide if I have to see orthopedic doctor then.

Symptoms: Angiotensin converting enzyme, Aphasia, Areflexia, Ataxia, Bickerstaff's encephalitis
Clinical narrative: 10/13/2019 - 12 days after flu shot, he developed numbness of face, feet, and then hands,  and "abnormal hot and cold sensations."  Taken to ER, had negative stroke work up (Head CT, MRA) and stroke ruled out so he left and went home. Next morning awoke and was having diplopia,  was paralyzed in both  his feet, was unable to walk, both hands became more numb, unable to grasp objects, areflexia, returned to ER, was diagnosed with Guillain Barré. Became confused, speech garbled, developed left facial paralysis and eyelid droop, and right sided facial weakness, was lethargic for couple days. LP showed increased number of lymphocytes, elevated protein; Was transferred to higher level of care on 10/18/2019 to Medical Center. Truncal ataxia was noted at that time, reflexes absent, unable to sit up,  still unable to walk. Had further work up,  lots of lab tests, repeat LP similar; CXR showed some old calcified nodes, so underwent bronchoscopy looking for  possible sarcoid but no granulomas were seen in specimens.  Was treated with 5 days of IVIG with signs of slight improvement over that period of time, continued to very slowly improve, , diplopia and Facial CN findings resolved, continued with numbness and weakness of all 4 extremities with very slow improvement.  Given IV steroids after the IVIG, and then switched to oral prednisone. Was hospitalized until November 6, 2019, then transferred to Skilled Nursing Facility, to receive physical therapy, continued on  prednisone.  Final diagnosis was Acute inflammatory polyneuropathy.   Still in Skilled Nursing Facility, very slow recovery of function, still unable to walk independently, somewhat slurred speech, some word finding difficulty. My impression (Not the attending )   Diagnosis is consistent with Bickenstaff's  Brainstem encephalitis with Guillain Barré following Flu shot..
