I could not move my arm since to do so was extremely painful. Woke up disoriented and dizzy in the middle of the night. Went back to sleep but upon waking at 4:30 am in addition to the arm pain, I was nauseous and felt like I had the stomach flu. I couldn't think straight and my mind was fuzzy. I felt woozy. I arose and drank some coke to ease my nausea and to endeavor to feel less light headed. Went back to bed. I wasn't sleeping but rather was doubled up with a general flu like condition. At about 5:30 am since I was so chilled, I took my temperature. It was a 100.6 enough to give me discomfort with hot and cold chills. My whole body ached and every joint was achy. At this time, I took 1-650 mg Acetaminophen. At 6:00 my fever had gone down to 99.9. Still nauseous and not able to eat. At 8:30 my fever had gone up to 100.3.

I went to bed at 8:45 pm as I was exhausted and very weak. The next day upon rising, I was very tired, nausea was gone but I felt like I was weakened from being sick. As the day progressed, I got stronger. My arm was sore but more normal. Another day after that, I was symptom free.

At 10:15 I was experiencing chills again but this time my fever was only 99.8. I stayed in bed, flat out like I had a flu bug. at 12:17, my temperature was up to 101.5 and at this time I took a 2nd a second Acetaminophen of the same dose. I sipped some ginger ale. I remained in bed all afternoon. At 7:00 pm, my fever was 101.4. At 8:00 pm I took another Acetaminophen of the same dose. at 8:30 I was able to eat something. Throughout the whole day my arm was painful and I was unable to lay on it. Moving it hurt. While painful it was not the same paralyzing pain I experienced the day before. I went to bed at 8:45 pm as I was exhausted and very weak. The next day upon rising, I was very tired, nausea was gone but I felt like I was weakened from being sick. As the day progressed, I got stronger. My arm was sore but more normal. Another day after that, I was symptom free.

Symptoms: Blood test, Dizziness, Documented hypersensitivity to administered product, Exposure during pregnancy, Loss of consciousness
Clinical narrative: Was told that the only way to get the shot was with the latex tip, unsure if this was an allergic reaction. When I got home I started feeling really sick and getting contractions and was dizzy so I headed in to L&D. They were monitoring baby and I. I soon after had a seizure, which I don't have a history of. After saying it was a seizure they said they were wrong and I just passed out. We still don't know for sure which actually happened. They ended up sending me home because I would have lost too much blood during my csection. 38 weeks along, scheduled C-section for 07/24/2019. They gave me iron and sent me home without much reassurance that I would be safe at home.

Clinical narrative: Background:  Even though I am 75, I am in excellent health.  I was riding 17 miles per day via bicycle at 15-17 mph without any stress or negative feelings. On June 1, the day before receiving the shot, I rode my normal 17 miles with no problems.  On June 2, I had my scheduled teleconference annual exam.  I presented with NO problems, pain, or distress of any kind.  At the conclusion of the exam, which went well, I was given the Zoster Shingles shot.  I was told I would experience flu-like symptoms for a day or so.  Eight hours after receiving the shot I did experience mild flu-like symptoms.  All seemed well after 24 hours, so I went out for my normal 17 mile ride.  I made it about 50 ft. up a small incline from my house and became so out of breath I could not continue.  I had never experienced anything like this in my life!  I was near panic while I gasped for breath for several minutes before getting my breath.  After cycling for 19 years and now being faced with inability to continue and profuse sweating even while at rest, (this situation remained essentially unchanged until 06/16/2019) I went to the emergency room.  I was seen by MD; other staff; and other staff.  I received a chest xray, had blood drawn, and an EKG.  On 06/17/2019 I was examined in the Pulmonary Clinic with a battery of tests.  As far as I was told, nothing was found, I can no longer do any activity without becoming out of breath!  So, I am convinced that something in the Zoster shot caused this adverse reaction because the preceding day I was fine and a day later I encountered the reaction.
