Clinical narrative: I went to oncology office where doctor mandated I get the PREVNAR vaccine for old people for tests. HOWEVER ironically oncology office did NOT provide the vaccine & the same day told me I needed to get it done. I went to my primary physician who is awesome & repeated what dr ordered. Within 30 minutes I started having side affects of the arm soreness however I couldn't even lift mine for over a week. I was dizzy I began to run a fever but being I have lupus (many days I run a fever). I also had chills but this to goes with lupus. The symptoms mimicking lupus GOT WORSE & by the first & second week of November I entered the worst lupus flare IN MY LIFE & got strep & pneumonia. After the vaccine my strep would not go away / pharyngitis. I was anemic & my blood work was at its worse. The holidays just amplified everything & sadly I could not even get into my primary til the first week of January to go over how sick I was. I consistently used teledoc & the other medicine app bc the vaccine within a week had my immunity so low I could not go in public without getting sick. My bloodwork AFTER vaccination was worse than its ever been. However oncology office at no time did anything to even remotely help. I remember crying to my friend through November, Jan & Feb bc I was afraid my body was shutting down.

He stared straight ahead and started to walk right into the wall ahead of him. I tried asking him what was going on but he couldn't respond. I held him under his armpits and carefully walked him to our recliner.  Once he sat down, he came back to. He said he saw a bunch of colors and his ears were ringing.  He looked really pale and said he could feel the sweat dripping down his back. His shirt was soaked. I quickly called the doctor's office and got a temperature on him.

I applied ice. heat, arnica twice per day, and took aspirin twice per day. By 48 hours the swelling, pain, and redness began to diminish but some swelling and pain remains after 72 hours. At this point the some of the affected areas have a yellow/greenish tint.

Clinical narrative: Patient woke up the next morning (3-14-19) feeling dizzy and had a headache. I kept her home from school. She seemed to do better as the day progressed. Before going to bed, she had a low grade fever (100-101) and was feeling really icky so I gave her some Ibuprofen. She slept until 3 am. She woke me up. She went to the bathroom and washed her hands. She felt warm to me so I put the thermometer under her arm-it was up, all of a sudden she stared straight ahead and said, "Mom, I can't see anything" and went blank. I called my husband in to help. He held her up.  We tried to get her to talk to us but she was unresponsive and her legs had also gotten weak. It lasted under a minute. I poured a little water in her mouth and wet a wash cloth and quickly put it on her cheek. She came back to and was able to walk to the couch and talked to us like everything was just fine. I gave her some Ibuprofen right away. I talked to a nurse in the morning (since this had happened to my son less than a day ago, and he was fine, I figured she would be ok too). A Physician Assistant saw her Friday (3-15-19) around 10:30 am and also had a strep test done to rule that out as a possibility. Patient has been having high fevers since going to the doctor's office until today (Sunday morning-3-17-19). Her highest fever was 3-16-19 at 6:45 pm -it was 103.7 (with the point added since it's under the arm). Even though she's had high fevers, she did not blank out or have a seizure (whatever it might be called) again. The high fevers were even after giving her Ibuprofen or TYLENOL. She was completely healthy prior to the flu shot.

Symptoms: Pyrexia, Skin warm, Staring, Streptococcus test negative, Unresponsive to stimuli
Clinical narrative: Patient woke up the next morning (3-14-19) feeling dizzy and had a headache. I kept her home from school. She seemed to do better as the day progressed. Before going to bed, she had a low grade fever (100-101) and was feeling really icky so I gave her some Ibuprofen. She slept until 3 am. She woke me up. She went to the bathroom and washed her hands. She felt warm to me so I put the thermometer under her arm-it was up, all of a sudden she stared straight ahead and said, "Mom, I can't see anything" and went blank. I called my husband in to help. He held her up.  We tried to get her to talk to us but she was unresponsive and her legs had also gotten weak. It lasted under a minute. I poured a little water in her mouth and wet a wash cloth and quickly put it on her cheek. She came back to and was able to walk to the couch and talked to us like everything was just fine. I gave her some Ibuprofen right away. I talked to a nurse in the morning (since this had happened to my son less than a day ago, and he was fine, I figured she would be ok too). A Physician Assistant saw her Friday (3-15-19) around 10:30 am and also had a strep test done to rule that out as a possibility. Patient has been having high fevers since going to the doctor's office until today (Sunday morning-3-17-19). Her highest fever was 3-16-19 at 6:45 pm -it was 103.7 (with the point added since it's under the arm). Even though she's had high fevers, she did not blank out or have a seizure (whatever it might be called) again. The high fevers were even after giving her Ibuprofen or TYLENOL. She was completely healthy prior to the flu shot.

Symptoms: Dyskinesia, Musculoskeletal stiffness, Seizure, Tremor
Clinical narrative: I had gone shopping after the vaccine appointment because patient fell asleep in her infant carrier. At the shopping store I used the family restroom so I could watch her. After using the restroom I flushed the toilet. Patient awoke in full body seizures (the drs refer to them as tremors). Her entire body was shaking and it was the first time she's ever done that, ever! Her arms were simultaneously going up and down in large, stiff movements. Her head was shaking with smaller jerky and look in her eyes seemed to be one of terror. I did not time event (that was not my concern at the time) but I'd say the event lasted 2 minutes.  The episodes continued and she would wake up from naps the same way for weeks. She still has the seizures though not to same extent at all.

Clinical narrative: On day of vaccines, I of course had pain in both shoulders but the pain in my right was much worse. Could not sleep on either shoulder at night. When I went to bed I felt clammy and had the chills. I didn't take my temp but did take some Tylenol. Day two around 4pm I started to get aches in my legs and the chills, took my temperature and it was at 101, took Tylenol, around 7pm chills came back, I was at my daughters basketball game so not much I could do, started to shiver like mad and had shooting pains in my legs, aches in my legs and lower back. Got home and fever was at 104.2. Took pain meds (ibuprofen brought it down to 102.6 so a couple hours later I took Tylenol. Pain was pretty much gone in left arm. The pain in right arm still severe. Could not move arm up without significant pain, although it didn't appear to be swollen. Went to bed feeling ok but was very clammy all night. Next day woke up to 100 fever and it stayed between 100-101 all morning and afternoon with pain meds (ibuprofen and Tylenol) around 4pm fever started spiking again by 7 was at 104 again. Did the same thing as I did the night before. Next day same fever all day as the day before but tried to take the meds at different times and fever only went to 102.6 ( but still miserable)  Pain in right arm still super painful and not able to use. This evening I also developed a big red rash on my forearm that was warm to touch and painful. The next day woke up with 100 fever, took Tylenol and around 12 noon started to feel good enough to venture out although pain in right arm still there. It is now 6pm on this same day and I'm feeling ok but unsure if fever will return tonight.
