Symptoms: Injection site pain, Muscular weakness, Pain in extremity
Clinical narrative: My entire vaccinated arm was very sore and painful when I used the arm muscle to pick heavy things and carrying them.  Also the muscle felt weak.  The injection site was not red or swollen but if I touched it I could feel the pain of the injection.  The injection site pain lasted for at least 4 months.  A month after the vaccination I noticed the pain started to get better on my upper arm.  Slowly, over 6-7 months, the pain got better from the shoulder down to the mid forearm.  It has now been 6-7 months and the pain is only in the mid fore arm when I flex the muscle to pick things up.  I reported it to employee health and was told to take Motrin.

A baby boy (age not reported) received on an unknown date (dose 3) an injection of DIPHTHERIA, TETANUS AND PERTUSSIS VACCINE, manufacturer and lot number not reported. The patient's mother reported that after the patient received his third shot, 30 minutes later he started hitting his head in the mother's shoulder so hard. The seizures got so bad that he would have up to 100 a day. The doctors told the mother that it wasn't from the shot but she knew that her child was perfect until then. "They also told me that he would be dead by the time he was 1. My son is 25 years old now, he is mentally disabled and will be with me from now on. He now has about 4 seizures a day, so he is better. The doctor could not tell me for sure that the shot didn't cause my son to turn out like that, so both my girls did not get the shot and they are fine. It has been a living hell for 25 years watching your child jerk his insides out and you can't do a thing to help. The government made me give him that shot then said I had no proof the shot did it. I guess you can figure out what I think about this shot". The outcome was reported as not recovered. Documents held by sender: None.

Vaccine: FLU3
Symptoms: Biopsy site unspecified abnormal, Chemotherapy, Chest X-ray abnormal, Computerised tomogram abnormal, Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Clinical narrative: Non Hodgkin's Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. This letter is in regards to Number 7 on the Reporting System questionnaire. I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma on March 21, 2011. I believe the onset of this disease is somehow linked to the flu shot I received on October 3, 2010. I do not know if it directly caused the lymphoma or if something was going on with my immune system that interacted with the flu vaccine that set off the lymphoma, but I believe they are connected. I distinctly remember, as well as friends and family noticed, that I just never felt quite right last fall. I would always reference my flu shot, saying "I just haven't felt quite right since my flu shot". I caught every cold and virus that would pass by. I was tired all the time and just had general feeling of malaise. Prior to this I was extremely healthy. I did not go to the doctor with any of this, I just passed it all off on being too busy, not taking care of myself, or I just don't know what. By February I was really not feeling well. I did go to my doctor and was on a couple rounds of antibiotics and still felt poorly. My doctor did a chest xray on March 21, 2011 and they saw something suspicious so ordered a CT scan. The CT scan showed a 10 cm mass in my left lung that invaded the mediastinum and narrowed the left main pulmonary artery and left mainstream bronchus. It also showed multiple renal masses. A biopsy showed Non Hodgkin Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. After several more tests my chemotherapy began on April 1, 2011. I have done some research on lymphoma and discussed with my doctor possible causes of lymphoma, especially since I am not the typical candidate to contract lymphoma. I keep coming back to the fact that I can pinpoint the day I began to feel poorly. I asked my oncologist if he thought there could be any correlation and he did not really know. He did state that the timing would be about right for the stage of my disease and the date of my flu shot. I just thought someone should be aware that this link might possibly exist in my case. Truthfully, there is no doubt in my mind, that in my case, they are somehow linked together. I appreciate the opportunity to report this.
