Vaccine: VARZOS
Symptoms: Erythema, Fatigue, Feeling abnormal, Headache, Inflammation
Clinical narrative: About 8 to 9 hours after receiving the vaccination-at 8 pm or so- I began to notice that I was feeling more achy and sore all over.  I began to feel chilled and feverish.  I eventually went to bed around midnight, but found I could not sleep because I was so tender, sore and achy in every joint of my body.  My muscles were sore and I was chilled and shaking.  I began to notice a headache as well.  I ended up taking a Tylenol with 1/8 gr. coedine just to help me sleep, but it only helped calmed down the aches for a couple of hours then I reawakened with all symptoms continuing.  I did not rest much that night.  The next day, 9/18, I found I had absolutely no energy, no appetite and continued to be miserable with body aches, joint pains and a mild headache.  I was only able to drink hot tea the entire day and either sat around the couch or laid down in bed as I had no ability to concentrate to read, work on computer or even do dishes.  I did not have any issues with cough, stuffy nose or sore throat, nor difficulty breathing or rash.  I did note that my injection arm was sore and was noticeably inflamed with  redness and some swelling of an area the size of my hand.  I rested the entire day and only drank liquids.  I slept better on Fri. nite but I did take another dose of pain meds to help the aches.  On Sat. am, I awoke feeling  like a Mack truck hit me.  very tired, weak, achy and sore, but not as severe as on Fri.  I spent the day resting  and was able to eat a fried egg and toast besides tea.  I went to bed that evening and awoke on Sun. 9/ 18, feeling as if I had made it over the worse and was on the way to my normal health.  I am currently feeling much better as my energy and appetite is returning and the aches and painful joints and fever is no longer bothering me.

Clinical narrative: On 09/08/2020 I attended an appointment in the Internal Medicine Department for a yearly physical. Per the recommendations I received an injection in my right deltoid of the PPSV23 (Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine). When I received the injection it hurt more than any other shot that I have ever had, It really made my arm jolt when I received it. Throughout the day my arm got increasingly weak and extremely painful. By the the end of the evening it was constant extreme sharp pain in my shoulder without even moving it. I slept one hour that night due to the pain. By the next morning I could not physically lift my arm up past waist level and the pain continued. Wednesday 9/9 I called the Dr. back and informed them of the issue, they scheduled me for an appointment for that Friday on 9/10 which I attended. At that time they told me to take ibuprofen (as I had been), and if it wasn't better to make another follow up appointment. My arm was re-gaining some strength very slowly but the pain has continued. Last week Thurs 9/17 I scheduled another appointment for follow up with Dr. due to the continued pain and weakness (I can now only lift my arm to chest level, no higher). He gave me a prescription cream for Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel (which my cost was $26.90 ) The insert for this medication specifically states "It is not known if diclofenac sodium topical gel is safe and effective if used on your spine, hips, or shoulders." Why would I be prescribed a medication for this if this for my shoulder if this is how the insert reads? I was told to follow up again on Monday 9/21/2020 if not better. I am planning on doing this.
