This was the day, according to the patient, "that my life changed forever". NOTE: She states in late childhood/adolescene she had sporadic instances where she became lightheaded and dizzy but never passed out. These episodes lasted only 1-2 seconds soon after standing up and quickly resolved. They did not affect her activities and she was able to exercise, run, and dance without symptoms A tilt test in 2010 diagnosed POTS after she had a 30 point increase in HR when going from supine to upright. She since then has developed orthostatic hypotension. CAPT continues with multiple debilitating symptoms affection many body systems for the past 2 years. In spite of numerous diagnostics and special consultations she currently is receiving no effective treatment due to the lack of resources and provider expertise for recognizing, diagnosing and treating this condition.

Vaccine: TDAP
Symptoms: Asthenia, Body temperature increased, Chills, Erythema, Feeling cold
Clinical narrative: I received the TDAP shot about 4:00 p.m. on Dec. 14, 2011. The next morning at 12/15/11 at 5:00 a.m., I woke up freezing to death and couldn't get warm. I had a one piece (with feet) pajamas on. (I normally would have been more than warm enough). I got up and turned the heat up and the oven on with the oven door open to get heat. My whole body was shaking, especially my chest. My teeth were even chattering. I stood in front of the oven for about 30 minutes when I started warming a little. I couldn't hardly lift my left arm at all, maybe a few inches, it really hurt. My head was starting to get worse, and the pressure kept increasing. Also, it felt like the center of my cervical spine was swelling and hurting. My skin hurt to touch it. I took my pain medicine and emailed Dr. at 6:00 a.m. and laid down. Within a couple of hours the pressure in my head was extremely intense, like my head would explode and my spine (neck) felt inflamed and shooting pain into my already horribly hurting head. The pain was so extreme. All I could do is lay there. About 10:00 a.m. I took my temperature and it was 104.1, and the pain just kept increasing. I really thought I might have spinal meningitis. I called my Dr.'s office and left a message. I didn't know at the time that it was my Dr.'s day off. By noon, the pain was beyond excruciating. About 3:00 p.m. the pressure in my head and swelling in my neck started to subside a little. By 5:00 p.m. my temp. was 101.4 and things were getting a little better. Throughout the night, my head still hurt and my neck still ached, and my temp. was 99.8 and 99.4 (about 1:00a.m. & 4:00 a.m.) this would be on 12/16/11. When I got up I seen that I was red all over my face. I looked and my whole torso was red also. I emailed Dr.'s office and was told to go to the ER that morning. I went to the ER and they told me I had an adverse reaction to the DPT shot. They put me on Prednisone, TAGAMET, and BENADRYL 50 mg. every 4 hours. I stayed on the BENADRYL for 4 days along with the other medicine from them. Then Saturday on 12/17/11, that evening, my neck started stinging and itching. I looked in the mirror and there were whelps coming up on both sides of my neck. (Prednisone: 1 - 20 mg. tablet twice daily for 3 days, then 1 tablet for 3 days; the TAGAMET was 1 tablet with the Prednisone). The next morning on Sunday, 12/18/11 they were gone. I still had the rash, but it wasn't as red. On Monday, 12/19/11, when I got up I was really shaky and feeling really weak. I went through this for 2 weeks. I couldn't do anything. The redness gradually went to pink and took 3 weeks to go away from this time (still light pink 1/11/12). It's not everyday, but some days I still get shaky and itchy and weak where I just have NO energy. All I can do is lay down.

My whole body was shaking, especially my chest. My teeth were even chattering. I stood in front of the oven for about 30 minutes when I started warming a little. I couldn't hardly lift my left arm at all, maybe a few inches, it really hurt. My head was starting to get worse, and the pressure kept increasing. Also, it felt like the center of my cervical spine was swelling and hurting. My skin hurt to touch it. I took my pain medicine and emailed Dr. at 6:00 a.m. and laid down. Within a couple of hours the pressure in my head was extremely intense, like my head would explode and my spine (neck) felt inflamed and shooting pain into my already horribly hurting head. The pain was so extreme. All I could do is lay there. About 10:00 a.m. I took my temperature and it was 104.1, and the pain just kept increasing. I really thought I might have spinal meningitis. I called my Dr.'s office and left a message. I didn't know at the time that it was my Dr.'s day off. By noon, the pain was beyond excruciating. About 3:00 p.m. the pressure in my head and swelling in my neck started to subside a little. By 5:00 p.m. my temp. was 101.4 and things were getting a little better. Throughout the night, my head still hurt and my neck still ached, and my temp. was 99.8 and 99.4 (about 1:00a.m. & 4:00 a.m.) this would be on 12/16/11. When I got up I seen that I was red all over my face. I looked and my whole torso was red also. I emailed Dr.'s office and was told to go to the ER that morning. I went to the ER and they told me I had an adverse reaction to the DPT shot. They put me on Prednisone, TAGAMET, and BENADRYL 50 mg. every 4 hours. I stayed on the BENADRYL for 4 days along with the other medicine from them. Then Saturday on 12/17/11, that evening, my neck started stinging and itching. I looked in the mirror and there were whelps coming up on both sides of my neck. (Prednisone: 1 - 20 mg. tablet twice daily for 3 days, then 1 tablet for 3 days; the TAGAMET was 1 tablet with the Prednisone). The next morning on Sunday, 12/18/11 they were gone. I still had the rash, but it wasn't as red. On Monday, 12/19/11, when I got up I was really shaky and feeling really weak. I went through this for 2 weeks. I couldn't do anything. The redness gradually went to pink and took 3 weeks to go away from this time (still light pink 1/11/12). It's not everyday, but some days I still get shaky and itchy and weak where I just have NO energy. All I can do is lay down.

Symptoms: Adverse reaction, Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody, Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody negative, Antinuclear antibody negative, Blood aldosterone normal
Clinical narrative: Patient is a 37 y/o officer who contacted the Vaccine Healthcare Centers network after experiencing adverse events following receipt of the H1N1 vaccine on the morning of 14 Jan 2010. She was well at the time of vaccine receipt; she took no chronic medications except intermittent NSAIDS for musculoskeletal pain and oral contraceptives. On 16 Jan '10 (2 days post vaccine receipt) she became lightheaded and dizzy in the shower. She "greyed out" and slumped to the floor. She was evaluated in the ER and EKG and labs were all normal. While in the ER, it was noted that her heart rate increased by over 30 beats per minutes upon standing, with no decrease in blood pressure. This was the day, according to the patient, "that my life changed forever". NOTE: She states in late childhood/adolescence she had sporadic instances where she became lightheaded and dizzy but never passed out. These episodes lasted only 1-2 seconds soon after standing up and quickly resolved. They did not affect her activities and she was able to exercise, run, and dance without symptoms. A tilt test in 2010 diagnosed POTS after she had a 30 point increase in HR when going from supine to upright. She since then has developed orthostatic hypotension. Patient continues with multiple debilitating symptoms affecting many body systems for the past 2 years. In spite of numerous diagnostics and specialty consultations she currently is receiving no effective treatment due to the lack of resources and provider expertise for recognizing, diagnosing and treating this condition. With intervention, she is currently pending a referral at one facility and testing at another facility.
