Clinical narrative: Information was received from a lawyer regarding a case in litigation concerning a female patient of unknown age. No information was received concerning the patient's past medical history, concurrent conditions, or concomitant medication. On or about 04-AUG-2015, the patient was inoculated at a pharmacy with ZOSTAVAX (lot number, dosage, and route of administration not provided), as recommended for routine adult health maintenance and for the prevention of shingles. The ZOSTAVAX vaccine did not prevent shingles as intended, but rather caused the patient to contract a persistent strain of herpes zoster. On or about 29-DEC-2015, the patient was treated by a physician for the onset of a vesicular rash accompanied by weakened immune symptoms, which was diagnosed as herpes zoster, or shingles. The patient has experienced a persistent and actively blistering outbreak of shingles for more than two months, which only began to conclude on or about 16-FEB-2016. The patient has been prescribed FAMVIR for management of her persistent and painful symptoms. As a direct and proximate result of these malfunctions, the patient suffered painful injuries and damages, and required extensive medical care and treatment. As a further proximate result, the patient has suffered and will continue to suffer significant medical expenses, and pain and suffering, and other damages. Additional information has been requested.

Symptoms: Abnormal behaviour, Agitation, Communication disorder, Crying, Decreased eye contact
Clinical narrative: Drastic changes in behavior. When set down previously, patient would crawl around and happily explore the house for most of the day. Now when set down he would just sit in one place and scream and cry incessantly. He stopped crawling and exploring. Even when he was being held he would arch his back and thrash about instead of cuddling or just sitting calmly like he would previously. Instead of making eye contact and holding our gaze like he would previously, he seemed disconnected from us. He started slamming his head back into his highchair over and over again which he had never done before. At night he used to cuddle, calm down, and nurse to sleep.  Now he was nursing for like 10 seconds then pulling away and screaming. He seemed hyper agitated and couldn't stay still. Instead of putting him in his crib each night already asleep from nursing, we were putting him down with him still crying. As the symptoms wore on throughout the week we really became aware of how much his behavior had changed. We went from having a very calm, chill, easy baby to one that was crying and intensely screaming almost all day long. He was not the same person he had been just days ago. This lasted for a week and by the end of the week we got lucky and shared what was happening with a friend and only after various homeopathic therapies, ozone treatments, and a variety of detox techniques did the severity of the symptoms ease. We continued for about two weeks after with ozone treatments and other holistic supplements and saw improvement, but patient has never regained his ability to calm down and nurse to sleep in the evenings and is always put into his crib awake. He also seems to have more of a propensity for high pitched screaming now.

Clinical narrative: On September 22, 2017 attended a Fair and received a Flu vacination. After the shot was given the normal soreness was felt it lasted a couple of weeks. But I also noticed I was not able to lift my arm horizontally or vertically and also when reaching back. The pain was intense. I notified my doctor online and she suggested to put ice pack to relieve the pain.  After a month I contacted her online and notified the doctor the pain had not gone away. So I made an appointment to see her on November 2, 2017 and Dr. said that I had tendonitus in my left shoulder.
