Clinical narrative: May have started experiencing headaches around time of 2nd or 3rd anthrax vaccine, but his headaches did not become severe enough to seek medical evaluation and treatment until 5 January 2008 (within 30 day of receiving 3rd anthrax vaccine).  Neurology first saw patient in May 2008 for evaluation of headaches and diagnosed him with likely migraine vs other h/a syndrome.  Characteristics of headaches include: 1) Two types of headaches: a. Constant, dull headaches, low intensity, occasional gradual increase in intensity.  b. Intermittent, lancinating, throbbing, excruciating headaches primarily affecting left side of head (from occiput ? parietal and temporal areas).  Positive photophobia and anorexia, but no nausea or vomiting.  During the peak of their course, headaches were occurring every 2-3 days.  2) Associated visual changes: Experiences blurred vision and transient partial (left lower field) vision loss in left eye during severe headaches.  (Reports that he has experienced these visual changes in the absence of intense headaches.)  Also on at least 2 occasions, his left pupil was dilated and was painful.  Episodes of visual changes usually do not last for > 30 minutes.  3) Associated tingling in left face, tongue and increased pressure sensation in ears with some of intense headaches.  No focal weakness, visual changes, dysarthria, or dysphasia.  4) No specific triggers identified ( e.g., wine, cheese, chocolate, sleeping changes)  except headaches  are worse with intense heat and with prolonged computer use.  5) Evaluation included negative head CT and ophthalmologic exam, but those records not visible to VHC.  6) Loss of consciousness (LOC) associated with some of intense headaches.  First episode of headache-associated LOC was in June 2008.  At the time, SM was evaluated where they noted motor disturbances (trouble getting things out of pocket) and tingling in hands, but no lightheadedness, dizziness or nausea.  In August 2008, his roommates found SM face down with bilateral arms jerking.  When they turned him over, he made eye contact with them, but was confused for several minutes.  Approximately 10-12 episodes of LOC have been reported,  some associated with bilateral shaking of hands, with duration estimated to be < 5 minutes up to 45 minutes.  Denies associated bowel or bladder incontinence or tongue biting. 7) Medications for headaches have included: VERAPAMIL, ZOMIG 5 mg, INDOCIN, and Naprosyn.

Vaccine: FLUX
Symptoms: Injection site erythema, Injection site pain, Injection site rash, Injection site swelling, Injection site warmth
Clinical narrative: I am an RN in the last year of a nurse practioner program and received the vaccine through student health (I think the student health flu vaccine program is closely associated with employee health). Within 24 hours of receiving the vaccine in  my left deltoid I discovered a 2-3cm round, circumscribed, erythemetous, hot, painful, swollen, raised area of skin reaction at the site of administration. It went from 2 to 4 cm over 48 hours and then slowly began to become more diffuse and less red/painful until it diseappeared after 5-6 days. Anectdotally, 4-5 other patients at the time I called employee health had experienced similar symptoms (one had even received antibiotics to treat suspected cellulitis). Additionally, an employee health provider at Hospital told me she's had a couple of patients with this same reaction, which she reported via VAERS. I have never had an allergic reaction to anything before and I was surprised to see this. Just wanted to share my experience for your tracking purposes. Thanks.
