Clinical narrative: 04/24/17 client called and left a voicemail stating she had been having side effects and wanted to confirm whether she should go see a provider. Called client back and client states on friday after the shots were administered (4/14), she had "achiness," sore arm, and general malaise. States this week, she felt tired, had headaches, and starting having a painful spot of skin on the back. She described it as "sensitive and painful" and that "pants and moving hurst the worst." states it "does not hurt with pressure." denies fever, rash or any injury to lower back (are where sensitiveness is felt). States the sensitive area is about 6x6 inches. States she feels the same in "lymph node in groin area." when inquiring further about lymph enlargement, client disclosed she actually was not sure what a lymph node is. Upon description, seems like she feels the same skin sensitivity in this area without lymph node involvement. Informed client that malaise is expected as a side effect and can happen a week or more after immunizations when a live attenuated vaccine is administered. Recommended going to see a provider if sensitive skin area increased or pain worsened. Agreed to call tomorrow to check in. RN.     04/25/17 Called client. She states she ended up going to see a provider at urgent care and they initially diagnosed it as shingles and would wait for rash to appear before prescribing acyclovir.

States she did not develop a rash and went to see provider at urgent care again today. States she feels better: "no sick feeling." States she has "still tingling feeling" on back. States it was more painful last week and that it just feels irritated now. Irritation does not change with movement. Discussed risk of YEL-AND and instructed her to watch for paresthetias, extension of "skin irritation/sensitivity," changes in movement, nerve pain. Agreed to check in the future. DLMH, RN.   05/10/17 Left voicemail. DLMH, RN.   05/12/17 called client. States she went in to see actual PCP issues have resolved for the most part.

Symptoms: Asthenia, Blood test, Confusional state, Dyspnoea, Fatigue
Clinical narrative: I fell asleep soon after vaccination was administered. When I awoke I felt very ill and confused. The fatigue was severe and I felt very weak. I experienced great difficulty with any type of physical functioning. My heart felt as though it was beating in an irregular manner and beating much harder than normal. I had developed a very productive cough as well. It is difficult to describe because I can remember very little of the following couple or few days after being vaccinated. I was completely out-of-it. However, I did notice my blood sugar levels were very high (400-500;s) when remembered to test. Everything I tried to accomplish was with great effort. The very first time I tried to climb a few (4) stairs, I was rendered completely out of breath. Something, which had never happened to me prior to the Vaccine. Soon thereafter, while visiting other specialists, I could tell by the looks on their faces and their announcements about my obvious "heart murmur" that it had become worse. (I had a very slight heart murmur prior to the vaccine, but for the most part was found to be undetectable.) I am also having problems with my Short-short term memory since the vaccine was administered. An Echocardiogram was ordered by my doctor, however it appears it was not a very good study. I have a follow-up appointment with a cardiologist on May 12, 2017. I have never before had a problem with a vaccine. I receive the extra strength flu vaccine very year, and have had also been vaccinated with the Tetanus vaccine and regular Pneumonia vaccine without incident. Testing and treatment in progress.

I am also having problems with my Short-short term memory since the vaccine was administered. An Echocardiogram was ordered by my doctor, however it appears it was not a very good study. I have a follow-up appointment with a cardiologist on May 12, 2017. I have never before had a problem with a vaccine. I receive the extra strength flu vaccine very year, and have had also been vaccinated with the Tetanus vaccine and regular Pneumonia vaccine without incident. Testing and treatment in progress.

Clinical narrative: I had a severe case of shingles. It stared with severe back pain which was incorrectly diagnosed as a back spasm. The next day pain became so serious I was admitted into the emergency room. I was then diagnosed and treated for shingles. On the same day I was diagnosed and treated for a UTI. I received medication for both for which I received various medications which included the narcotic NORCO. After days of shingles pain, nausea, constipation and a loss of about 10 pounds I was admitted into the emergency room again and then hospitalized for 6 days starting on April 8, 2017. I was diagnosed with ischemic colitis and was in very serious condition. I recovered from the ischemic colitis but my digestive system is not back to normal. I still suffer from shingles pain but feel better as the weeks go by. I do not know what role the shingles vaccine played in my subsequent medical problems, but I would like to know. I Do know the vaccine failed to protect me from the devastating effects of the shingles. Thank you for caring.
