She reports it appeared yesterday (12/19). I told them it is common reaction from the Prevnar13 vaccine because that is where the rash appears to have stemmed from. I recommended cold compress over the area, hydrocortisone 1% cream OTC, and taking an antihistamine (Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec, or Allergra). Pt's daughter voiced understanding.

Clinical narrative: Around 5:00 p.m. I began feeling achy. At 6:00 I took my temperature, 100.3 and went to bed. My body was achy, had chills, fever and headache. The worst headache ever woke me around 3:00 a.m. I drank   water that was beside my bed thinking I was dehydrated. Around 5:00 I got up to take Advil. In the kitchen while getting water I fainted. My face must have hit first as it was bloody on the left side with a big upper lip. I then must have fell backward lacerating my head. When I gained consciousness my neck and head pain was severe. I could not roll over or move myself. I could move my hands and feet but couldn't grip with my hands. I tried to get up so I could get to the ER but was unable to move. Went by ambulance. It is nearly 2 months later and my neck is still immobile, headaches continue, fatigue is ever present despite of physical therapy. I was a very active person who walked 3 miles/day and practiced yoga. The financial cost even with insurance is nearing $10,000. I would rather have shingles. There is medicine to take which aids in a quick recovery of a shingles outbreak. I don't know to what extent I will ever recover from this shot.

Symptoms: Mobility decreased, Neck pain, Pain, Pyrexia, Skin laceration
Clinical narrative: Around 5:00 p.m. I began feeling achy. At 6:00 I took my temperature, 100.3 and went to bed. My body was achy, had chills, fever and headache. The worst headache ever woke me around 3:00 a.m. I drank   water that was beside my bed thinking I was dehydrated. Around 5:00 I got up to take Advil. In the kitchen while getting water I fainted. My face must have hit first as it was bloody on the left side with a big upper lip. I then must have fell backward lacerating my head. When I gained consciousness my neck and head pain was severe. I could not roll over or move myself. I could move my hands and feet but couldn't grip with my hands. I tried to get up so I could get to the ER but was unable to move. Went by ambulance. It is nearly 2 months later and my neck is still immobile, headaches continue, fatigue is ever present despite of physical therapy. I was a very active person who walked 3 miles/day and practiced yoga. The financial cost even with insurance is nearing $10,000. I would rather have shingles. There is medicine to take which aids in a quick recovery of a shingles outbreak. I don't know to what extent I will ever recover from this shot.

Clinical narrative: Patient administered Flublock at 6:01 pm and had no initial reaction, but asked to sit in waiting room for 20 min after due to first flu immunization in over 10 years.  At 6:15 pm the wife called me over that the patient was feeling weird.  Patient was on the floor oriented but pale and mild perspiration on forehead. He did not complain of shortness of breath or pain, just dizzy and seeing spots. He said he felt unwell and lay down on the floor.  I took BP and it was 100/55 pulse 52 while supine. He was less pale at 6:20 pm BP 105/62 pulse 69. He wanted to move out of main waiting room and carefully we got him up into the treatment room where he returned to supine at 6:26 and bp 123/78 pulse 76.  He then felt like sitting up against the wall and stated he hadn't eaten all day so we got some orange juice for him to drink. At 6:33 pm BP was 125/85 pulse 78 and he was feeling much better, and a little embarrassed.  He moved to sitting in the chair with assistance and at 6:38 pm bp was 126-75 pulse 75 and he said he thought he would be ok to leave.  I checked and he did not have any shortness of breath, chest pain, or complain of any injury.  I took one final bp at 6:40 pm standing and it was 116/82 pulse 85.  He stated he would take it easy and go home to rest but he felt much better, no dizziness and would follow up with me if any other symptoms occurred.
