Clinical narrative: The following day of first Vaccine I developed H.A. Lethargy, Nausea, Dizziness, Vomiting X 6 days. Went to Urgent Care on 12-23-02.  On Jan 10, 2003 became SOB doing just a few "Jumping Jacks" during NBCW training inside a Gas Chamber and developed pain throughout body, so much so complained to doctor that I felt too beat up to excercise.  On Jan 18, 19 and 20, 2003 (5 days post 2nd Vaccine Jan 14, 2003) suffered from CHF, SOB while visiting Ski Resort at 7,000'ASL.  Also Suffered angina (I was unaware it was angina at that time) just from walking between rooms. Became exhausted simply just being there. Was unable to do any physical activity. This never happen on any previous visit, of which I had made many.  On Jan 24, 2003 was unable to stand, went to urgent care diagnosed as Vertigo just 4 days before 3rd Vaccination.  Continued with bouts of SOB increasingly over the next few months.  July 7, 2003 Heart stopped during coitus, restarted with induced coughing.  4 days later angioplasty w/2 Stents.  Over the next 28 Months 6 additional angioplasties w/a total of 15 Coronary stents and only one was due to restinosis.  My second angioplasty was one month after my first where a 70% blockage was thought to be okay to leave alone . . .it occluded 100% within 30 days. The longest period without intervention has been 8 months.  After the 3rd angioplasty, nothing was left to chance and every suspected lesion was stented, this still failed to stop the need for continued intervention.  Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and CFS. Did not suspect Vaccination relationship until Feb 2005.  I thought I submitted this then, but I had submitted a report to the FDA.

Clinical narrative: I have a staph infection from receiving a tetanus shot.  I received a tetanus shot on November 30, 2005 as part of an H&P prior to two surgeries which are scheduled for December 7, 2005 (partial hysterectomy and excision of a breast cyst).  I've never had complications from a tetanus shot before.  The following day, December 1, 2005, I went to the breast surgeon for a pre-op consultation and while I was there I began getting the chills, severe headache, severe backache, cough, and my arm was very sore and I could hardly raise it during his examination.  The nurse took my temperature and it was 101 degrees.  They thought I might be coming down with the flu and suggested I go home and rest. I went home and took some Nyquil and Theraflu.  The next morning I was scheduled to see my OB/GYN for my pre-op appt.  I told him I had a headache and I could feel a small knot the size of a pea above my left clavicle bone.  He felt it and said it was not a mass and to take care of myself.  On Saturday, December 3, 2005, I felt so miserable that I called my doctor's after hours number.  At this time, my fever had gone down, but my arm started to appear very red - the size of a softball area approximately was red and I still had the headache and cough.  She gave me a referral to go to the clinic the next morning.  At 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, December 4, 2005, my husband drove me.  The physician immediately said I had a 4 x 6 area of infection on my arm from the tetanus shot.  He explained occasionally although the area is cleaned, the bacteria can be pushed down into the skin and an infection occurs.  He treated it aggressively by giving me a shot of antibiotic and by giving me an oral prescription of Augmentin.  I do not know the name of the injected antibiotic (Raspirin or something to that effect).  He said to follow-up with my primary physician on Monday.  He said he believed I would be okay for surgery - take the Augmentin up to the day of surgery - do not take it that morning as they would be administering antibiotics via IV and resume it that evening after the surgery.  I went to see my primary physician on Monday, December 5, 2005.  He looked at the site and said the same - that it was a staph infection - cellitis or cellulitis, I believe.  He told me to continue with the Augmentin and to put warm compresses on it, which I've done.  Today, December 6, 2005 - one day before surgery - I am still very nervous about going into surgery with my body already having a staph infection.  As it is, due to a pelvic sonogram, breast sonogram and breast mammogram and biopsy, they have determined everything is benign.  I was pretty calm about the surgery until I got this unnecessary staph infection.  I am somewhat nervous now even though they have me on antibiotics. I know staph infections can spread in your bloodstream to your brain and lungs and other areas and this persisten headache worries me along with the size of area on my arm that is infected.

I do not know the name of the injected antibiotic (Raspirin or something to that effect).  He said to follow-up with my primary physician on Monday.  He said he believed I would be okay for surgery - take the Augmentin up to the day of surgery - do not take it that morning as they would be administering antibiotics via IV and resume it that evening after the surgery.  I went to see my primary physician on Monday, December 5, 2005.  He looked at the site and said the same - that it was a staph infection - cellitis or cellulitis, I believe.  He told me to continue with the Augmentin and to put warm compresses on it, which I've done.  Today, December 6, 2005 - one day before surgery - I am still very nervous about going into surgery with my body already having a staph infection.  As it is, due to a pelvic sonogram, breast sonogram and breast mammogram and biopsy, they have determined everything is benign.  I was pretty calm about the surgery until I got this unnecessary staph infection.  I am somewhat nervous now even though they have me on antibiotics. I know staph infections can spread in your bloodstream to your brain and lungs and other areas and this persisten headache worries me along with the size of area on my arm that is infected.
