Symptoms: Abnormal behaviour, Bladder catheterisation, Convulsion, Electroencephalogram, Febrile convulsion
Clinical narrative: Patient was placed in my home as a foster child in July 2007 (I'm also his maternal aunt).  I was told by the social worker that patient's mother had neglected his medical care, and we had 90 days to bring him up to date on his vaccines.  I took patient to the local Health Department sometime around the beginning of the school year, but I'm unsure of date/time of vaccines.  He was given the first dose of EVERY vaccine he had missed as a baby (it was 6 or 7 shots all at once!).  I was concerned about his safety receiving so many at once, but the nurses assured me it was ok, so I allowed it.  It was almost exactly 24 hours later when patient spiked a high fever of 105.9 and went into a "frozen" like state; he was totally unresponsive, and just staring blankly into space. Nothing I did would get the fever down, so I took him to the ER where I was told he was having a seizure from the high fever.  He was given IV fluids, given a urinary catheter, and other treatments to lower his fever and stop the seizure. We were allowed to take him home within 12 hours. I told the doctors that he had received vaccines the day before, and thought for sure this was a reaction, but all the medical professionals denied the link to the shots. (I never realized I personally could report a reaction, which is why I am now reporting this event years later.) Patient continued to have seizures after this event...he would have brief "stop and stare" seizures almost everyday, and began having behavioral and learning issues--his personality changed.  I took him to see countless specialists (pediatricians, several neurologists, and several brain scans and other tests were done)--and we received in home counseling services for him.  His behavior became so bad that he was put on Risperdone, an anti-psychotic medication.  He got kicked out of daycare, had constant issues in pre-school, and became nearly impossible to handle at home.  This poor child was suffering and no one could tell me why, or how to fix it.  Patient is now almost 7 years old, and still has symptoms...I suspect he will have life long issues.

Insurance did not pay for vaccine (do they approve this required vaccine?). Why are Dr's required to make the elderly population take something that could damage their bodies? I will never again take Dr's desire - I will research myself and make my decision. I was prescribed years ago FOSAMAX - took several years till dentist said it was taking bone from my mouth. Then I was put on EVISTA till last order had a side effect report with prescription - it causes strokes, heart trouble and leg vein problems - I will not take anything that harms me.

Clinical narrative: Every 3-4 months he complains of episodes of worsening joint pain with swelling beginning in 2006. The episodes come on suddenly with diarrhea occasionally with blood followed by pain in his right knee which then swells the next day. The pain and swelling lasts a few days in the right knee then subsides, but begins in the left wrist/hand. A few days later the hand pain subsides and is followed by the same symptoms in his left foot. The pain is finally accompanied by fatigue and finally all symptoms resolve after about 6 weeks. The pain is so severe that his wife must help him with dressing if a hand/wrist is involved. He is incapacitated. Codeine does not help pain, so he goes to the ED and receives steroid and pain injections with relief and beginning of improvement. His right knee has been especially troublesome in the last few years. He is unable to bend it completely because of pain; 2-3/10 to 7/10. Sometimes the joint is warm, no redness. There is usually some swelling. His military work as a flight loader and his civilian work as a rancher have been negatively impacted. He began having joint stiffness "like an old man", in 1991 following the AVA immunizations. WHO causality assessment resulted in "Possible" only because of temporal relationship. The symptoms are likely due to other conditions.
