Symptoms: Blood test normal, Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, Fall, Fatigue
Clinical narrative: I received multiple shots at once during this appointment. As soon as the shots were given, I went to stand up and felt like I was going to pass out. I blacked out and my mom told me that I arched my back and fell onto the table and made some horrible noise like I couldn't breathe. I regained consciousness soon after blacking out and was given apple juice and a cold cloth to put on my forehead. The doctor watched me for about 10-15 minutes and once I felt well enough, I left and went home. A few months later I began feeling extremely tired all the time. I could not keep myself awake no matter what I did. It felt like I was trapped inside my body and I couldn't keep it from falling asleep. I would go to bed early (10PM) and wake up early (6-7AM) and still fall asleep in school. I could sleep for 14 hours at night and I would still fall asleep 30 minutes after waking up and continuing to need to take naps throughout the day. I tried to go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday and get around 8-9 hours of sleep and it did not change how tired I was feeling. I saw doctors who tested me for Mono, Anemia, thyroid disorders, etc. multiple times. I was told to exercise, eat healthy, sleep well, etc. I would do everything the doctors suggested and nothing changed. I was tested for the same things over and over with the results always coming back negative. I finally saw a sleep specialist and was diagnosed with Narcolepsy in January 2014 after completing a full sleep study. I have been taking Ritalin to control the tiredness and keep me awake since December 2011. When I had my second dose of Gardasil on December 2, 2008 and was laying down when given the shot since I had a bad reaction the first time. I remained lying down for a while after the shot was given and when I tried to stand up, I felt as though I was going to pass out again. I immediately layed back down and was able to keep from fainting. I also began having gastrointestinal issues at the same time the tiredness began. I saw a gastrointestinal specialist and had a colonoscopy/endoscopy, breath hydrogen test, and tried multiple medications, among other tests. Nothing was ever conclusive and for now, it is assumed that I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Vaccine: TDAP
Symptoms: Ear pain, Joint stiffness, Musculoskeletal stiffness, Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging normal, Throat tightness
Clinical narrative: The tetanus booster shot (Adacel) gave me a very bad stiff neck, which I still have now, a year later at this point. Reported to Dr., I had X-ray, MRI and throat ultrasound - all came back normal, but this terrible stiff neck continues.  Also earache from the stiffness, and ringing in the ear. Have stiffness in throat, under jaw, around ears, and back of neck.  Also, the same Dr's office gave me a SECOND Tetanus Booster shot(Adacel) by mistake on Dec. 4, 2014, because they didn't understand that I already had a tetanus booster on Sept. 4.  And I didn't even need the tetanus booster; I was only getting it as a precaution. After the Dec. 4, 2014 shot, I had an immediate adverse reaction that evening of even greater tightness in my throat that was extremely painful and frightening.
