Symptoms: Injection site reaction, Rash erythematous, Rash generalised, Rash pruritic
Clinical narrative: He was completely fine and ate no new foods in the 24hrs between the shot and the onset of symptoms. He took a nap and woke with an angry red and itchy rash over his outer thighs, hips, and buttocks. It spread to a patch on his left outer arm and his right cheek. The vaccination was administered (flu shot) in his left outer thigh. Daycare provider put calamine lotion on the rash, which helped, and his rash looked much better in a couple hours. He remained mostly clear of rash until 3:00pm the next day (9/26) when the exact same thing occurred again (down for nap, up with terrible rash). This time was given Benadryl and calamine lotion and the rash had calmed way down within two hours. I am typing this on 9/27/13 at 1:30pm and am waiting to hear if we have the problem again today. In an abundance of caution, I dressed him in light cotton clothes today (rather than jeans) and selected things that had not been washed in some time in case there was a detergent issue.

Symptoms: Asthenia, Bruxism, Chest discomfort, Chills, Crying
Clinical narrative: Started feeling weak and lethargic. Chest felt very tight, and I used my asthma inhaler 5-6 times over the course of an hour to clear out mucous. Coughed up about 1/2 C. clear mucous over the next hour, which at times nearly choked me. By 9 PM I had to go to bed with severe chills, shaking, feeling very cold. Shaking was paroxysmal and all my muscles were clenched, jaws clenched. By 10 PM my head hurt and felt like tremendous pressure inside my skull and like my eyeballs would explode. Neck very stiff. Couldn't find the thermometer so I can't tell what my temp. was. I was delusional; having nightmarish thoughts about a circular saw, crawling out the back door of my house, etc. Literally crying and screaming for help through my teeth, though I could not move during this time due to the paroxyms. (I live alone). Knew I should call ambulance but couldn't formulate in my mind how to get to the phone. Very frightening. By 11 PM I was able to go to the bathroom, drink a glass of water, then went right back to bed. Awoke again around 2 AM the next morning feeling somewhat relieved but exhausted. It was the worst night of my entire life. Horrifying. The feeling of being unable to move, or respond appropriately in my own best interest, was horrifying.
