Clinical narrative: Death within 4 months of receiving the booster TDAP.    My sister passed away this past Sat, Oct 5th.  She was a healthy, happy 56-year-old women.  Her death makes no sense and we have not been provided with any answers from medical professionals.  In a nutshell, my sister started having minor pain in her head (ear area) in early June 2019, exactly two weeks after receiving the TDAP booster shot. The nerve pain that she had been experiencing had progressed to an unbearable state within a few short months. Before all this happened, she was a healthy, active woman.  She was never officially diagnosed with an illness/disease because her neurologist was not able to find an underlying cause after subjecting her to every logical test available. She was prescribed with pain medication, but the pain became too intense for her to bear. The doctor suggested that she might be suffering with Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN) condition, but it was just a suggestion.  In just a few short months the symptoms progressed to the point where she felt burning pain throughout her entire body.  The pain was transient and intense. She was desperate for relief and answers. Approximately four weeks before her death her symptoms progressed to affect her autoimmune system and she began to have trouble swallowing, producing tears, breathing, heart palpitations, and digestive issues. She believed that she would not survive this pain and accompanying symptoms (she feared the autoimmune symptoms). After her own online research and was convinced that all these symptoms were as a result of a reaction, she had from the TDAP booster.  Everything she believed that was going to happen to her, did. I wonder if she was also right about the TDAP booster shot being the catalyst for her ultimate death.  Her body is with the coroner now and we are awaiting the autopsy report to understand the cause of death but I am wondering if there are any tests that can be performed that could determine if the TDAP  played any role in the symptoms she was experiencing as described above and her ultimate, untimely, early death.  Please call me so I can provide additional information. She visited the neurologist only twice and was told that her blood tests were perfect...all of the blood tests that were given to her came out clean. Yet, she passed away within four months of receiving the TDAP booster.

Vaccine: FLU4
Symptoms: Anxiety, Dissociation, Feeling abnormal, Feeling of despair, Nausea
Clinical narrative: First, I am unclear of the specific influenza shot I received - there were a number of selections on this site. All I know is that I received the 2019 flu shot. This was my first time receiving the flu shot. I received it at approximately 4:30 pm on 10/10. Up until the shot, my mental health status was normal and I was not experiencing any symptoms of depression or anxiety. By 8:00pm on 10/10, I was experiencing intense anxiety, accompanied by despair, fogginess, nausea, and feelings of dissociation. These symptoms peaked around 8:45pm on 10/10 and slowly diminished over the next day. On 10/12, I felt ?normal? again. The experience was intense and shocking. I went from being completely okay to in a very ?dark? place emotionally within a matter of minutes. 2 days later, my partner who also has depression and anxiety experienced something nearly identical, within the identical timeframe. It wasn?t until she had the same experience that I realized it wasn?t a ?fluke? for me and I decided to report this to hopefully help others be aware of these intense (albeit, temporary) side effects. My understanding is that the 2019 flu shot is different in some ways than previous years, so I?m wondering if these side effects have ever been reported before 2019.
