I had an allergic reaction to salmon 2 weeks following my vaccination.  After filling out my survey, I was asked to fill out this report.  My doctor indicates salmon as a common allergy and I am getting seen by an allergist hopefully in February.  I had never had a reaction to salmon prior to this event.  On both Friday the 3rd, and Saturday the 4th, my hands swelled up, I became very itchy all over, and showed signs of dermatographia.  I was provided a 5 day dose of prednisone which eliminated the itchiness and swelling, but dermatographia continued.  I was provided a second 5 day dose of prednisone, had a blood test, and have since been fine, but have been avoiding all seafood until I get an allergy test.
This was the patient's first flu shot, however, she has had other vaccinations. She received the shot on 9/15/17 and experienced as expected muscle tenderness the day of the shot. Starting the next day she began to experience periods of muscle numbness at the site of injection which reached from her shoulder to elbow. She said the numbness comes and goes but she experiences weakness during the numbness. She approached me on 9/21/17 saying this has been going on a few days now and it seems to be worse today. She is an employee at the store and has noticed difficulty lifting heavier objects. I counseled her on the fact that there is a risk of rare but serious side effect that starts with muscle numbness/weakness and told her that if the symptoms have been progressing she should seek medical attention from a physician. She declined seeing an MD and informed me she currently has no health insurance so she is going to give it a few more days and see how it progresses because she doesn't want to pay out of pocket if she does not have to. Told her she can follow up with any of the pharmacists here with any other questions.
I have joint pain and arthritis probably caused by chronic Lyme Disease. Normally when I get joint pain it passes quickly and is not debilitating. On the day ollowing the vaccination I experienced debilitating joint pain in my left sacro-iliac joint, which made walking difficult, and severe joint swelling and pain in my right wrist. I had full use of my right wrist and hand [except for my 4th and 5th fingers] before the vaccination, and now I have to do many ADL with my left hand e.g. brushing teeth, eating etc. Writing is also difficult. The pain started to subside after 3 weeks and now after 4 weeks I'm walking normally agin. However my right hand and wrist are still painful and movement is limited.
My arm started to turn red at the injection site and then started to spread past my shoulder. It was warm to touch. I had a 101 temperature and body aches as well. When the redness started going past my shoulder, towards my chest, that is when I went to the urgent care. It was also painful. I went to urgent car on the Saturday after my vaccination. The DR gave me antibiotics and said if my fever came back or increased then to start the antibiotics. It didn't get worse, on Sunday it started to subside and several days later the redness resolved. I did not have to take the antibiotics. I only took Tylenol to hep the fever and pain.
