Clinical narrative: Reported once to Vaers, after first hospitalization. #E-28199 02/16/2009. My daughter continues having the violent seizure like episodes. Severe muscle spasms in her low back, making her fold backward, screaming in pain. Was hospitalized again on 4/02 through  4/05, again on 4/12 through 4/14. Her seizure episodes continued to get worse, even at times making her struggle for air. Felt like her throat was closing. Still having headaches. We then went to another facility, they slowly removed her from her medicines, she continued to have the episodes, but frequency was slowing down. Her eyes would also roll back into her head, and her speaking became "jibberish" while she was having the episodes. She also started complaining of stabbing pains in her lower stomach. That turned out to be an Ovarian Cyst. She was in the ER 3 times, after initial vaers report, 2 via ambulance. 6/01/2009, things seem to start getting better, episodes are limited to when she goes to bed, and drifts off to sleep. Her muscles twitch, jerk, and seem to have a mind of their own. She does not have control of her body, her muscles do. Still having headaches. 8/29/2009, things are mellowing out from 2/2009, but she still has neurological problems. Her head and neck twitch together, eyes roll back, electric volts feel like they go through her body, she shivers and it travels through her body, hands fold in, arms & legs shake uncontrollably. Her hips lock up, she cannot move, it hurts her very bad. It lasts from 7-10 minutes. Sometimes her arm just starts moving in all directions, she cannot stop it, today, it twisted itself so bad that her elbow, shoulder and wrist are very sore. It is the strangiest thing I have ever seen. The muscles have a mind of their own~ that is the only way I know how to explain it.

Symptoms: Abdominal pain upper, Body temperature increased, Chest pain, Dizziness, Erythema
Clinical narrative: Pt. complained that he wasn't feeling well at approximately 12 pm 8-26-2009. He started shaking and was dizzy. He stated that his right arm, chest and the right side of his head hurt, along with a severe headache. He had a temperature of 101.6 f. He was feeling very tired and went to bed after I gave him some ibuprofen. His arm was red and swollen. He also said that his stomache hurt. He was very cold and took a long time to warm up with several blankets and it was 95 degrees outside. It took about 4 hours before his fever stopped. I woke him up from his nap to make sure that he was ok and gave him more medicine. Later, when he complained that his arm and whole right side still hurt badly, is when I realized that it was related to his having the dtap shot the day before. I read the CDC sheet that was given to me to determine what to do. I felt that he was in the moderate range, but on the verge of severe problems according to the risks listed. I waited and the next day his problems were the same but less severe. It has now been 4 days and he is still sore, but the other symptoms stopped 2-3 days after the shot.

I woke him up from his nap to make sure that he was ok and gave him more medicine. Later, when he complained that his arm and whole right side still hurt badly, is when I realized that it was related to his having the dtap shot the day before. I read the CDC sheet that was given to me to determine what to do. I felt that he was in the moderate range, but on the verge of severe problems according to the risks listed. I waited and the next day his problems were the same but less severe. It has now been 4 days and he is still sore, but the other symptoms stopped 2-3 days after the shot.

Symptoms: Abnormal faeces, Constipation, Diarrhoea, Enterobiasis, Haematuria
Clinical narrative: Vaccinated 8/28/09 about 4 p.m.  First hematuria observed on Sunday, 3/30/09 at home in late morning urination. BP+ 120/80  Afternoon, hematuria with small red blood clot. BP without BP medicine at 8:15 138/78. Patient receives Coumadin 2.5 per day.  Took one extra Coumadin yesterday afternoon because blood clotting time was 1.6, which is below target of 2.5 to 3.5.  Patient attributes the fast clotting time to eating too much mayonnaise, and possible increase in E. coli production of Vitamin K, due to recent diarrhea.  Patient, a former  Hospital associate, observed the urine color was classical for positive for hepatitis, with some what added redness at end of cycle of urination (probably RBCs not clotted).  There is a history of probable Schistomiasis by S. Haema..., which patient found in urine about 2 months ago (live and moving female Schistomiasis sp.) along with 2 "rafts" of shimmering capillary-appearing mats about 0.5 cm each.  Unusually, patient one month later, passed a female and male Schistosome sp. at end of very constipated and dry feces bowel movement (Patient felt something on rectal area, and, using a toilet paper, recovered another female Schistosome) (apparently dead) along with what patient later discovered was the male Schistome sp.  Each were about 2 cm or less.  Unusual, in that Schistomiasis sp. (japonicus or mansoni) worms are normally found on the exterior of the lumen. At the time, patient had been taking medicine firstly for roundworms, and secondly, for pinworms, respectively. Patient has history of visiting a foreign country, with probable contact in a fish pond in a foreign country.  Also visited other countries, and has had relations with a female from a foreign area area, who was discovered to be positive for roundworms (cause for first medication regime--Mebendazole).

Symptoms: Balance disorder, Contusion, Dizziness, Dyskinesia, Eating disorder
Clinical narrative: On 9/19/07 client awoke dizzy with balance issues.  Went to work & face felt numb, bruised.  Urgent care gave him VIROXXIOD, an antiviral.  Right eye wont close, needs a patch.  Hard to eat.  Urgent care said Bell's or "Hunts" on 2/27/08 right eye still spastic.  Right side of mouth doesn't work well.  Can't see well enough to drive.  Received his first RECOMBIVAX HB vaccine on 8/22/09.  9/24/09.  Either case called me or his office at work called to let me know that case was having problems.  I spoke wit him and found out the information in box #7.  In addition, he said that he woke up on the morning of 9/19/07 feeling like he was hung over.  (He is sober for 8 years).  He then went to work anyway.  There he felt "strokey", that half of his face felt numb, like a "dead bruise."  He did share that although he was well before this, at age 15 he had encephalitis after a case of mumps.  He was in a coma for 4 days at that time.  After 2 months he thought he was well then, without sequelae.  I consulted with our Health Officer, Dr. MD several times because the patient asked me if the vaccine caused his illness.  On 2/27/08 I called case to see how he was doing and to share our MD's assessment of the situation.  Case said that his right eye was still spastic, that the tear ducts flowed very easily.  The right side of his mouth was difficult to eat with still.  Drinking water on that side was hard to do.  Also, his eyes would fill with water and he could not drive very easily.  Dr. felt that the Bell's palsy type illness did occur in temporal association with the vaccine, but he did not think that the vaccine caused it, although nothing is 100% sure.  Dr. asked what the case's job description included as case was still interested in the second RECOMBIVAX HB vaccine.  Called case on 2/28/09 and case said that he worked as a custodian, picked up litter, cleaned the bathrooms.  Before the palsy he also drove and did deliveries.  He could no longer do that.  As Merck wanted more information, I left a phone message with the case on 9/26/8 asking that he sign an ROI and give me a little more information about himself.  No response from him.  On 6/22/09 I sent the attached letter.  No response.  I faxed a report to the State health dept and one to the Merck company. RN.
