This morning however when he woke up he was sweating a lot and talking nonsense. Mom took his temp 97.7. Mom asked him simple math questions and the ABCs which he answered correctly. He went back to sleep. Then when he woke up again he seemed fine, although he did not remember the conversation earlier with dad.

On 28Nov2015 the reporter took the patient to the doctor who gave her anti-inflammatory and Cephalexin for redness that spread almost down to the bend of the patient arm, her arm was swollen, hot swollen. A couple of days later, the patient could not walk and she was so bad that the reporter had to take her to the emergency room and mentioned that patient was bad enough that they thought maybe she had a stroke because of the way she could not walk and she was dragging her right foot. So, they did a scan and all kind of blood works and all those test came back pathologically okay and further added that they could not rule out the vaccine. The reporter mentioned that the consumer had to use the walker and mentioned that at the patient's age doctor told reporter that patient should be functioning at 86% at her age in her walking ability and the patient was only functioning 26% in her walk and that was at the time when she was in the emergency room. The reporter wanted to know if this was usual or unusual because she knew little bit of redness around the injection site was not unusual but the patient's whole arm down to the bend of her arm to elbow was very red and swollen and on that day reporter took patient to the doctor. The reporter mentioned that the redness and everything has gone away and mentioned that the patient was still experiencing the non-ability to walk, she has to use a walker. The outcome of she was dragging her right foot was unknown.
May 4th - chills, site extremely hot, headache, and felt like I was coming down with the flu. I could not raise my arm more than half way up and by the 5th, I could not raise it at all without terrific pain. By the morning of the 5th the area of the shot was very swollen, hot, and got worse as the day went on.  In the evening, I went to Pharmacy and saw a pharmacist. She said I was having an Allergic reaction and she wanted me to get to urgent care the next morning. OD, took a marker and drew a circle around the swelling and redness which was at that time 4 inches around. He said if it spread past that drawing I was to see my doctor which I did a few days later.  Dr. said I had an allergic reaction and she does not feel I should have the second shot. On the 10th, it was still spreading but since the swelling was subsiding I did nothing else. After the swelling starting going down, I could raise my arm. Conclusion today, you still see the faint red 4 inch circle on my arm.

pain started in calf and moved more intensely at first into the ankle and foot. After a week or so pain lessened but kept moving from back of thigh to back of the knee, calf and ankle. After a few weeks, I noted that my right calf and ankle were swollen to an inch and half and inch respectively compared to the left leg.  I had concerns about blood clots but did not find any information of the being a known side effect of the vaccine.
