Clinical narrative: 2nd night: overall tingling sensation, splitting headache. 3rd day: 20 plus red spots on calves, large swollen lymph glands, especially in left armpit (some swelling to this day). Hot swollen injection site, severe stomach ache and nausea. 4th day: hot swollen right eyelid. (See attached letter) Most symptoms subsided but still some swelling in lymph glands. I am enclosing a report and letter to my primary care physician that I completed on July 3 2017, but apparently overlooked mailing to you at the time. My physician has a record of this, however, with follow up phone conversations that transpired at that time. The nurse stated that it appears that I had a case of shingles. On Friday, September 29, 2017 I experienced soreness in the groin area of my left leg, which I attributed to having taken a 2-mile walk and thought perhaps a seam had rubbed. On Saturday night, September 30, 2017, however, the pain was significantly worse, so I had a look and was shocked to see the classic symptoms of shingles. Approximately a 4 or 5-inch hot, red circle with a well-blistering, festering, raised circle in the middle that was at least the size of a 50 cent piece. The next morning it had turned to light yellow blisters that had merged and by evening, the whole area was mustard-yellow blisters. I applied NEOSPORIN and covered the area with a large BAND-AID. The symptoms subsided each day and today I have a crusted scab. I had a previously-scheduled appointment with my primary care physician on Wednesday, October 4, at which time she confirmed that this is, indeed shingles. So I am left with the conclusion that I've now experienced two rounds of shingles subsequent to the vaccination. It's difficult for me not to also conclude that the vaccination contributed to this development, given the timing.
