Clinical narrative: I received my Second SHINGRIX shot on 10/20/2018. NDC number is 58160-0823-11. I received the shot around 10:00 AM, by 2:00 PM the same day I had begun to have a fever, body aches, and flu like symptoms. I had received the Flu Shot at the same time. Over the next two weeks I had cycles of very bad flu like symptoms with high temperatures around 102 degrees on 3 week cycles, where I would get bad and then seemingly "recover", and then getting "sick" again. In this first two weeks I had 4 bouts of super migraine headaches, and there were just as debilitating as the flu like symptoms. This time also raised my blood pressure to 160/110. I had to really double and triple up on my BP meds. During these headaches all I could do was turn out all the lights, put on a blindfold, get an ice pack and gut it out. For this duration of the first two weeks all I could do was go to work, teach for 8 hours and make it back to the couch in 8 hours and collapse on the couch. It just drug on and was unrelenting. The flu cycles varied with body aches or a chest like reaction respiratory congestion starting with a upper respiratory inflammation and sore throat, sinus etc, then constant "drainage". I must have swallowed 55 gallons of mucus, again, unrelenting and miserable. My ears were ringing the whole time too, and got really bad with the headaches. After the two weeks, I still had body aches, but no fever, but fatigue set in. The week before I received this shot, I ran 3-4 miles three times that week and weight lifted at the gym with pretty heavy workouts 3 times too. I am a 57 YO male in very good physical shape and this thing sidelined me and I could do nothing because of the fatigue and shortness of breath for another two weeks. In the second two weeks, I had dizziness and ringing in the ears and fatigue. For the remainder of the 6 weeks I had the feeling I was in a tunnel or disconnected or "not there". Real problems with driving and other situations why this vaccine could cause accidents and deaths. I constantly felt like I was going to pass out. I also had lower GI tract inflammation and discomfort for about 3 weeks. I did not start working out until the first full week in December 2018. I was down a total of 6 weeks to recover from this monstrosity. I found out this vaccine is recombinant with a compound called QS-21 Stimulon, which up until two years ago was considered too toxic to be delivered or approved as an adjutant, even for a malaria vaccine. This particular vaccine was "rushed through" the vaccine approval process and short cutted and then recommended as the CDC vaccine for shingles. This damn stuff destroys red blood cells, up to 50% in clinical trials. How many strokes or O2 deficiency, high blood pressure or other deaths have occurred because of the "ramping up" o the immune system that QS-21 stimulon does. How about making the flu shot more reactive? I am not an anti-vaxxer, but this is an unproven and untested vaccine and should not be given until these at all checked about. My bet is that somebody at FDA got a new house or a large stock offering for approval. If someone like me reacted this badly and it took me out for 6 weeks, then there are surely some strokes and deaths cause by this.
