Clinical narrative: Initial case received on 17 May 2010 from a consumer, who is also the patient. A female patient received an injection of INFLUENZA A (H1N1) - on 09 November 2009 (lot number reported as UP00PAA, not a valid Sanofi-Pasteur lot number). Twenty minutes post-vaccination, she became dizzy and complained of burning in the head,chest,and legs,followed by numbness and an inability to speak. Her lips and eyes were also swollen. Her husband called their physician, who per the patient diagnosed an allergic reaction and recommended that she travel to the hospital. En route to the hospital the patient developed chills and began crying. Upon presentation to the hospital she was diagnosed with anxiety, and received treatment (specific anxiety treatment not reported). She was subsequently discharged from the emergency department and had seen "numerous doctors". Additional symptoms included "vibration", right-sided facial drooping, trouble breathing, "no facial expression", walking into walls, memory loss, inability to focus or concentrate, stiff neck, inability to sleep, legs and hands falling asleep, "head feels like it weighs 200 pounds", headache, "zombie attitude", and muscle pain. At the time of the report, six months post-vaccination the events were ongoing. Follow-up information was received on 31 May 2010 from a consumer/patient.  The patient reported that "her head is tight and numb at this point."  When her head gets tight she cannot "speak well, organize thoughts, concentrate, etc."  Her vision is not good and she sees debris, spots and her eyes hurt when in the sunlight.  She has no energy, can't focus, carry out simple task, and has trouble planning dinner.  She can hardly go to stores and it is hard to carry on a conversation.  The patient did not provide contact information for her physician.  My symptoms don't match up to any diagnosis yet.  I have been told by my neurologist dr. I probably know more about H1N1 and it's effects than he does.  It is continually making me sick physically and mentally.  I feel rattling in my chest especially around heart, feet, and hands numb at times and head tight with numbness especially yesterday (June 28).  When this tightness here I have been stumbling move on words and having trouble communicating verbally with family.  Last week had allergic reaction to something (?) with hives and fluid filled blisters all over body (I have pictures). Last for about 6 days.  I still am having itching and rash in some areas.  Blurred vision today.  I still don't have optic neuritis but my vision in right eye continues to get worse.  It was 20/15, now 20/25 and have blurriness, spots, and debris floating all of the time.  I get sores on body (red bumps) which appeared about a month ago.  Hair continually falling and thinning out.  My breathing last week became very labored, followed by chills, etc.  Mentally slow.  I have asked for plasma preresis, etc. to help.  Supposedly doctors say I have to have dignosis yet.  I have done everyting I can possibly do to slow down the process of it attacking my system by vitamins, boost immune system, healthy activities, etc.  I travel to hospital next week and another hospital July 20.  The problem is I don't get offered treatment and my health contines to diminish.  Do you know of anywhere that would be willing to take a sample of my tissue so they can it is in my system?  I have also been told by a doctor that equipment here to check for autoimmune diseases is not up to speed and make not test accurately.  I just need help.  I don't want money, disability, etc.  I want to teach at the end of this summer and continue to raise my children.  If you can help in any way please offer any suggestions.
