Age: 85.0
Sex: F
Vaccine: FLU3
Symptoms: Activities of daily living impaired, Asthenia, Blood test, Cerebrovascular accident, Computerised tomogram abnormal
Clinical narrative: A small stroke on the right side of her brain after receiving the seasonal flu vaccine; patient became progressive weaker over the past five days, deteriorating from walking with a cane and driving when going for the shot to needing assistance transferring position in bed, that is, an inability to either sit or stand without assistance; only after the third visit to the emergency room was a second CAT scan administered and the small stroke found.  Previously the doctors, including her primary care physician, blamed her slurred speech on a reaction between the flu vaccine and lisinopril, her blood pressure medication.  After a friend discussed the possibility of Guillain-Barre syndrome with us was she taken to the emergency room for the third time in five days.  Even then, the staff wanted to send her home, claiming that nothing medical could be done for her.  Only after the stroke was found were we told that the initial CAT scan would only detect a brain bleed, and that it would take 24 hours for evidence of a small stroke to be present in the scan.  We believe that these events were not coincidental.

Symptoms: Adenoidectomy, Allergy test, Cough, Ear disorder, Ear swelling
Clinical narrative: After receiving 4 vaccines on September 21, 2012 including DTAP, IPV, Hep B and the flu shot my son who was four had huge swelling the size at the injections site making his leg double in size which did not come down for days.  Almost immediately he developed nasal congestion and chronic cough.  Within a month of the vaccinations my son out of nowhere came down with a headache so extreme he could not even sit upright. The emergency room doctors had never seen anything like it and they were considering a spinal tap to check for infection.  He vomited a few times and went to sleep and upon awakening his pain had lessened. However every day after that for the next two years had a mild to extreme headache.  After two months of an everyday headache his doctor ordered an MRI which came out normal but our lives were anything but normal.  Desperate to help him we had his vision checked as well had testing for allergies conducted.  My son who had up to these vaccinations only one ear infection in his life and never any allergies also developed extreme ear swelling and drainage problems and had tubes put in his ears in January 2013 along with and adenoidectomy.  We were hopeful that the headaches would ease but they did not.  We heard about a neurological chiropractor and started seeing him on a bi-weekly basis and then monthly.  This helped a bit but his chronic headaches persist.  I have kept documentation and have copies of his medical records as well as documentation from his kindergarten and first grade teacher who can verify his continued suffering.
