I also suggested that if the hives continued or worsened that she seek medical attention.  The patient stated that she had used Benadryl in the past with no ill side effects other than a tired feeling. I suggested trying a 1/2 dose to see if that helped relieve the itching.

Clinical narrative: I was instructed by the Health Dept. to notify you about my experience.  I received my second dose for the Hepatitis B on May 14, 2012.  Within the next day or two I developed a very agitated itch all over my body which persisted for WEEKS thereafter.  Not only that but I started getting these little tiny peculiar scabs that would suddenly occur overnight.  I NEVER had this happen prior to this inoculation.  It took a couple of months for this condition to quiet down and finally went away.  Here is my bigger concern however; I NEVER had any aches in my bones but ever since then my shoulders have gotten progressively worse.  Suddenly I have pain in the bones in my arm (especially the left one) and my knees hurt and even the bones in the top of my feet.  This was NEVER a problem (I feel like I have to really emphasize this).  I contacted the Health Dept. yesterday because of this concern and got a reply. She instructed me to go to the Health Dept for an examination by their doctor but when I went there today, all they did is give me your website and advise me to notify you about the adverse reaction. (So why did she tell me to make the trip since there appears to be alot of information that I can't fell out anyway?) They gave me the lot number which is AHBVC039AA.  COULD THERE BE ANY POSSIBILITY OF A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE HEPATITIS B SHOT AND THE BONE ACHES THAT I HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS?

Symptoms: Audiogram abnormal, Blood test, Cardiac monitoring, Computerised tomogram, Deafness unilateral
Clinical narrative: Complete loss of hearing in left ear upon waking.  Called Dr's office and spoke with triage nurse.  She asked questions and took information and talked to Dr. who requested that we go immediately to the ER as the loss of hearing could be an "embolic stroke".  We went to the ER immediately and in the intake gave the information we gave to the Dr.'s office.  The ER did a blood test, EKG, monitored heart and oxygen, did a CT scan.  After all tests, they concluded that we should see an ENT the next day.  We went to the Clinic the next morning and they performed an urgent audiogram.  The audiogram was compared to one done one year ago and showed that the right ear was the same as previously and the left ear now had no usable function (and a year ago was normal).  A course of Prednisone was prescribed by Dr. and a return visit for a repeat audiogram was scheduled for Oct. 31st and a visit with Dr. on Nov. 1st. Currently, after 5 days of prednisone there has been no improvement in the left ear ability to hear.
