Symptoms: Antinuclear antibody positive, Antiphospholipid antibodies, Arthralgia, Aspiration joint, Burning sensation
Clinical narrative: A month or so after receiving the final shot in the GARDASIL series, I noticed a problem with my fingers. They would become cold and swell, then turn white or blue, upon exposure to any temperature below 30 degrees, once they reached normal body temperature, they would swell further to the point of extreme discomfort and begin to feel as though they were being burned. I noticed these symptoms for two years, with no relief and many puzzled doctors. In August I began noticing knee swelling, severe joint pain, difficulty walking, and severe fatigue. Fluid was removed from my joints to temporarily relieve the pain, I was prescribed with Prednisone to reduce any inflammation, and it helped for two to three weeks, then the symptoms returned. After an Emergency Room Visit, they discovered white blood cells in the fluid in my joints. After a referral to an Orthopedic Surgeon, and then a Rheumatologist, I was then diagnosed in November 2011 with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, after a complete blood panel and a positive ANA test.

Symptoms: Injection site inflammation
Clinical narrative: A very, very bad, inflamed reaction to vaccine lasting several days - Wed - 1/1/14 I paced quickly to pharmacy for BENADRYL. Thur - 1/2/14 I rushed to emergency. On Mon. 12-30-13 got my Zoster vaccine at 3:15 pm at pharmacy - Wed. 1-1-14, back to pharmacy w. inflamed area to the vaccine so, pharmacist recommended diphenhydramine HCL 25 mg - (antihistamine). Thurs. 1-2-14, rushed to Emergency room, and doctor there said to continue the same diphenhydramine but, no change. Finally, Sat. 1-4-14, I went to my clinic - Doctor there prescribed me something called triamcinolone acetonide cream USP - 0.025% - gradually, I went getting better - sirs, not even the V.A.E.R.S. told me what I expected. I would like to add that, while making and trying to find out a solution to my problem on the telephone I was noticing and realizing that, everyone I spoke to never really told me, nor advised me on or, with the vaccine reaction itself. Of the few people who spoke to me, never told me what to do for this, right there on. I felt I was just getting switched fm. person to person, but no advice. No problem - I would still call the F.D.A. if I still have to in the future. Maybe I'll hear something from someone then. I'm glad I got someone that help.

Clinical narrative: The medication is ZOSTAVAX. I received the injection from my doctor. One month after receiving the injection my legs, arms and torso broke out severe body rash call nummular dermatitis. I went to see a dermatologist. He said that one of the reasons is that my immune system was compromised. I told him I had never had a skin allergy in my life (I am 67 years old). My condition after one year is worse. My right leg is now cover in these 30 red circles size ranging from a dime to a silver dollar. My left leg has a little less. My arms have about 20 marks. He tried some treatment. But there is no help for this. It has to go away on its own. It could take years if event can come back. It definitely is the result of this injection. I have no allergies. I don't know what else to do except to tell you. I would like to know if anyone else has had this serious a reaction. Thank you.
