Symptoms: Tenderness
Clinical narrative: He got his vaccine, within 30 minutes his left side went totally numb,  left side of his body was tender to touch.   Had fever, BP dropped and he passed out.  The Dr. had prednisone to counter the fever after a couple of weeks.  He had a total loss of energy, and after that EMS and he went to the hospital.  He had stroke like symptoms, could not talk, could stutter a little bit.  His BP dropped and he had a hard time staying conscious.  He asked if he had his permission to give him a shot, and asked why would he need permission or was he going to kill him.  He told him there was a 5% chance that he would have a brain bleed with that.  He was on a video visit screen and when he came in he was observing him, and his wife, and told them he was not going to give him the shot as he did not feel he had a stroke.  They did a test to see if he had a blood clot which he did not after the CT scan. He was admitted o 12/13/22 to the hospital for 3 days and then moved him on 12/16/22 for PT.  They hadn't done anything for him at Hospital.  He was put on an medication to increase his BP and when he was transferred they dropped that medicine as it was fine and did not need to increase it.  He was there for 8 days, and then the doctor who was caring for him he told him that he did not know what to do with him, and did not know how to help him.  He brought in another doctor who did not know what to do either, and after 5 days they dismissed him.  He had therapy before he was let to go home.  He had a little strength recovered, and had a fever when he was discharged from the hospital.  Yesterday he had one spiked fever which went up to 99.6 and so when it gets to 99 or over he takes 500 mg of Tylenol, and that went away within 1/2 an hour or less.  Today, he normally has a fever spike around 3:00 and his temp today is 98.0.  Right now he needed to have some kind of help out of desperation because he was going down, down, down, loosing more energy, no appetite.    He cannot find any doctor to find out what to do to help him as he has been to several areas as they do not know what to do if you have an AE to a vaccine.  His daughter lives elsewhere and she practices alternative medicine.   One of his cousins is a doctor and does alternative medicine as well,  and after 4 days he has lost his stuttering, he has gained his energy level to a pretty good degree, he is still not fully stable and the doctor that he is seeing told his daughter that he will not let him go until he is better.     Two doctors asked what medicine was injected into hin, and he told them, and they asked if he was sure that there were no metals in it.  He told them that he was not sure.  The other question they asked was if they were sure that there is no material like substance like COVID vaccine in the Shingrix vaccine.  He told them that he could not answer that either.  Both doctors said that there is good reason to believe that there is metal and COVID material in Shingrix vaccine.  They feel that way as he did not take the COVID vaccine but had COVID and got a stroke.  When he took the Shingrix vaccine it affected him exactly like he did when he had the stroke.  He also had lack of energy.    He did have an EMT ride to the hospital as he had another episode where he had a total loss of energy, stroke like symptoms again and passed out and his wife called EMS.  The doctor that tended to him he wanted to figure out what was going on, and then told him that he could not do it there, and wanted to know what was going on with him, but could not do it in the ER.  The did a lot of blood samples, but everything appeared to be normal.  There are 2 abnormal ones, but does not remember which ones.  Knows his hemoglobin is off.

He has extreme memory loss, says his memory is gone, daily spiking fever.   He said that if he had known as a patient that there was no protocol for any doctor to help with AE that he would have never taken the vaccine.  If he would have known there was a possibility that he could have gotten GB that there was no way in the world that he would have taken the vaccine .  If he had known that these AE would have been as serious as they were, he would have never taken the vaccine.  He would have run out of the pharmacy as fast as he could.  He went to the pharmacy and told them that they were not sending the AE to his doctor and told them that he was not leaving until he had the pamphlet out of the box.  He pulled it out of the box and gave it to him.  If some of those items would have been highlighted or shown to him as a patient prior to the vaccine, then he would have made a more discerning decision to take it or not.  He was given a sheet of paper with some of the AE on it, and doesn't give you a chance to read everything.    He feels that if you don't get it they make you feel stupid if you don't get it and the reasons why, but don't tell you about what could happen if you take it.   He wants to know why is it on him of the cost, and his ability to make a livelihood and the circumstances that have happened since he got the vaccine.
