As the day continued by the next morning I had hives on my face and the area around the shot was swollen, bruised and larger than my hand, about 8- 10 inches. I called and left a message for my doctor. I then called my allergist . Over the phone we went through my allergy checklist, possible exposures and concluded the reaction was not related to any of my allergies but was a reaction to the flu vaccine. I called my doctor again and left a message. I was able to get an appointment at 2:20pm Nov. 9. Dr. concluded that I had an allergic reaction to a preervative in the flu vaccine. Since my reaction included hives, I will no longer receive a flu vaccine.

Clinical narrative: I experienced flu like symptoms for 2 to 3 days, chills, fatigue, headaches, nausea. I then experienced continual outbreaks of Herpes II virus and canker sores that were difficult to treat with Vaclyclovir and a homeopathic remedy of Ranunculus which normally work. I have finally gotten better after almost a month with the Herpes outbreaks and canker sores. It was bad enough that I considered not getting the 2nd shot in the series. I will, but I'm waiting till it's close to the 6 months deadline. I had read a number of years ago that it was advised NOT to receive the Shingles vaccine if you had Herpes II. I asked both my primary care physician and the pharmacist who both said there was no know issue. I did read some blog information by people who had issues but decided I'd try it. I would not necessarily recommend it to people.

Clinical narrative: Patient reported to his mother Saturday afternoon that his armpit of the arm where he got shot was sore. It wasn't extremely painful, so she was not concerned. Unfortunately it was not better by this afternoon, so she called to ask me if that was a normal side effect. I asked her to look at the injection site to see if there was a reaction and she could barely see pinkness around the injection site. Then I asked her to look at his armpit to see if it was swollen or red. After comparing both of his armpits, she could tell that the one closest to the injection site looked raised, perhaps a swollen lymph node. I recommended she give ibuprofen and do warm compresses. If the soreness and or swelling continues, please contact his regular doctor.
