Clinical narrative: Head to toe reaction! Adverse reaction was immediately! 1. Agonizing, debilitating, misery. 2. Adverse reaction was immediately after Flu shot on Oct. 15, 2008. 3. Arm swelling and hurting on the way home from doctor. 4. At home arm was size of goose egg at least. 5. Fever ranging to 104 degrees when I got home from doctor. 6. Very weak and hard to walk; couldn't stand up. 7. Whelps (or wheals) were starting immediately all over my body. 8. Mad itching; burning; and stinging. 9. Extreme dizziness especially when lying down the ceiling was going flying around which was so nauseating. 10. I've had lots of spells of a feeling that I would fall backwards if I didn't hold something. 11. Shortness of breath/choking sensations. 12. Facial swelling; eye & lids swelling and drooping - I have to pull my lids open but sometimes they would not stay for hours. 13. Eye pains w/ vessels bursting and my eye Dr. and it was probably the vasculitis when I learned what I had. She gave a Rx for eye drops to help. 14. My lips also swell; sometimes top and bottom together, then maybe 1/2 bottom or 1/2 top or just top or just bottom. 15. Both eyes and lips are numb continuously. 16. Large knots came all in my head and the crown of my head still is very sore w/ occasional knots. 17. Numbness occurs all over my body at times instead of the usual lips, face, feet, hands, arms, and legs (these are constant). 18. Blister type looking bumps were on my feet and toes and hands and fingers often. 19. Red blood dots cover my feet, toes, and legs often. 20. Vaginal bleeding occurs off and on - this started just after the flu shot. 21. The massive whelps covering last portions of my body at the same time was causing me to feel as if I was going to die. 22. I have to keep on "EPI-PEN" in case of shock. 23. Hand - swollen and raw in my palm area. 24. Fingers burst and bleed. 25. Left side of chest hurts going upward toward ear and inside feels like the artery hurts. 26. Right foot especially swells all the time and had a pointed bone to come right on top of it and then changed into a saddle look swollen all the way across it - now it hard to get a shoe to fit without pain. This happened 2 days after Flu shot. 27. I have anxiety to the point of crying especially in morning. 28. The morning inside (but not cold). 29. Weakness, fatigue extreme; going blank problem. 30. Hoarseness happened from taking harsh drugs when Dr. was trying to stop whelps & fever - no medication worked! 31. Also abdominal & bad intestinal problems started from the above meds. 32. Losing appetite. 33. Headaches. 34. Mouth/ulcers & teeth sore. My immune system has been demolished by a Flu shot. If I had have had the flu I would have gotten over it because I was a healthy individual. Now I have vasculitis from it and I have been told over and over that the damage is permanent and cannot be reversed. The doctors I've seen have told me it is difficult to impossible to even treat and I could die from this. Now I have to wonder how long I have before my heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and brain likely will be affected. The public and doctors need to be better informed of all the side effects before an injection instead of the sheet they hand you after, when it is too late. I documented this with a digital camera.
