Clinical narrative: In early April of 2007 I was given the Pneumovax vaccine because I had contracted pneumonia earlier in the year. As you know, starting in the latter part of April, I began to have various symptoms (tingling and numbness which started in the extremities and then moved on to include the torso and head, weakness - especially in the knees and general fatigue). You are also aware that we did do numerous tests including MRI scan and bloodwork, all of which came back negative. These symptoms persisted from the end of April until the present time, gradually diminishing. (I think the symptoms are diminishing because I have implemented a wellness program of more exercise, acupuncture treatments and a detox program) I am feeling MUCH better since I began this regimen, although the symptoms are not yet completely gone, I believe I will return to my former excellent health. I truly believe these symptoms were connected to the Pneumovax shot. I went online and found two web sites which deal with the Pneumovax vaccine. Both of these websites begin by saying there is little risk with this vaccine, HOWEVER, if your scroll down to the "Adverse Reactions" there is a list of reactions recorded in clinical test. Four of those symptoms exactly coincide with mine! I have attached the printout for your information. I am basically writing this letter just to make you aware of the possible risks of this vaccine. I never had a reaction like this to any other immunization in my life. Perhaps you can contact the manufacturer of the vaccine and report my experience, or at least forward this letter to them. I also feel that the manufacturer should reimburse me for the cost of the immunization because I have incurred great medical testing costs in trying to diagnose these symptoms. I hope that you will take the time to consider this information.
