Clinical narrative: The evening Following the Shingrix shot I started to feel ill. Body aches, hot and cold, dizzy. In the a.m. after arising I felt very weak. Used the bathroom and started to feel extremely ill. I was headed back to bed but passed out onto the Floor. When I awoke I felt extreme pain in my jaw and was bleeding. My husband took me to the emergency room of Hosp. where I had a CT Scan of my head and EKG. Was then transferred to Hosp - trauma unit. After subsequent CT scans of my head and x-rays it was determined I had broken my jaw in three places and needed surgery. After four days and a complete medical workup (echocardiogram, EKG, heart monitor, CT Scans of head and x-rays of jaw). I was scheduled for surgery. Nothing was found (other than the jaw issues) in the tests and I was found to be in good health. I went home and I'm still recovering after 6 weeks. Don't know how my jaw will eventually heal (still in the process) per my maxillofacial surgeon from hospital who I have been seeing for follow up.

Clinical narrative: After administering the IMZ, Dad and patient were standing and waiting in the IMZ area while I stepped back into the pharmacy to print off the patient's shot record. Dad got my attention by knocking on the window. I ran out of the pharmacy and Dad had patient seated on the chair. Dad said he caught her before she fell. She was completely pale and stated that she couldn't see. I had her lay down across both chairs and elevate her feet onto the IMZ panels, put a cold wet paper towel on her forehead and had the store manager get an orange juice for her to drink. After several minutes, she was able to sit up and said she could see fine again. Waited a little while longer and she was able to stand and walk around normally. Her complexion came back and she was smiling and laughing. Dad says she has never had any reaction to shots before, but she was not expecting to get a shot today so we think she was extra nervous/anxious.

Vaccine: TDAP
Symptoms: Arthralgia, Back pain, Hypoaesthesia, Impaired work ability, Loss of personal independence in daily activities
Clinical narrative: Adverse effects from the TDAP started with stiffness in my back behind my shoulder blade.  The stiffness then turned to pain down my arm following certain muscles groups from my shoulder to my elbow and then to my left index finger and left thumb.  My left index finger and left thumb started having this numbing feeling like when a rubber band cuts off circulation too long and it swells with "pins and needle" feeling.  That was when I thought it was not from the fall I had on July 18th.  The pain had gotten to the point that I was not able to sleep through the night.  From the one muscle behind my shoulder blade down my elbow would throb and wake me up at night.  I was taking Advil and Tylenol with ice and heat as I would normally do for a strain muscle or "tennis elbow" as I thought it just was.  The pain in my back started on the 7th.  The pain in my shoulder and elbow started on the 10th.  After an entire week of minimal sleep my wife made me go to the doctor to get checked out.  WebMD is a good tool but also can cause some spouses to "over think" things.  The timeline of getting the vaccine and the tightening of my muscles goes along with Tetanus but doesn't fully make sense with how it is reacting to my muscles.  Now the vaccine may cause some of these adverse reactions that WebMD does not discuss nor my doctor recalls.  I have had to leave work early on 4 occasions due to the pain and was able to work from home 1 day so I could be more comfortable while dealing with the pain.  The doctor  thought it was tennis elbow from the fall, which makes sense, but the rest of the pain and how I was describing it doesn't fit in with other strains.  I was prescribed 10mg of Cyclobenzapr to help my muscles and to take Aleve for the pain (and Tylenol if needed in between).  Well today is August 30th and the pain has not diminished in my arm or behind my shoulder blade.   Heat does relieve the pain better than cold does.  Massaging also helps relieve the pain and allow for the muscle to extend to its normal position.    I am filling this form out as a preventative measure to ease my wife's mind.  If there is an issue with this vaccine I'm sure the CDC would be in contact with myself and aid in some manner.  If this does turn out to be not from the vaccine then I'm apologize for wasting your time reading this.

The stiffness then turned to pain down my arm following certain muscles groups from my shoulder to my elbow and then to my left index finger and left thumb.  My left index finger and left thumb started having this numbing feeling like when a rubber band cuts off circulation too long and it swells with "pins and needle" feeling.  That was when I thought it was not from the fall I had on July 18th.  The pain had gotten to the point that I was not able to sleep through the night.  From the one muscle behind my shoulder blade down my elbow would throb and wake me up at night.  I was taking Advil and Tylenol with ice and heat as I would normally do for a strain muscle or "tennis elbow" as I thought it just was.  The pain in my back started on the 7th.  The pain in my shoulder and elbow started on the 10th.  After an entire week of minimal sleep my wife made me go to the doctor to get checked out.  WebMD is a good tool but also can cause some spouses to "over think" things.  The timeline of getting the vaccine and the tightening of my muscles goes along with Tetanus but doesn't fully make sense with how it is reacting to my muscles.  Now the vaccine may cause some of these adverse reactions that WebMD does not discuss nor my doctor recalls.  I have had to leave work early on 4 occasions due to the pain and was able to work from home 1 day so I could be more comfortable while dealing with the pain.  The doctor  thought it was tennis elbow from the fall, which makes sense, but the rest of the pain and how I was describing it doesn't fit in with other strains.  I was prescribed 10mg of Cyclobenzapr to help my muscles and to take Aleve for the pain (and Tylenol if needed in between).  Well today is August 30th and the pain has not diminished in my arm or behind my shoulder blade.   Heat does relieve the pain better than cold does.  Massaging also helps relieve the pain and allow for the muscle to extend to its normal position.    I am filling this form out as a preventative measure to ease my wife's mind.  If there is an issue with this vaccine I'm sure the CDC would be in contact with myself and aid in some manner.  If this does turn out to be not from the vaccine then I'm apologize for wasting your time reading this.
