I received an anthrax vaccination, the 3rd in the series of 4.  The day after the vaccination the site was red and inflamed.  Inflammation spread and increased.  Within two days my left deltoid and muscles extending to my elbow were inflamed and hot to the touch.  I had a moderate fever and experienced severe pain and swelling in my left upper arm and shoulder.  Because I was traveling and did not have my medical record, I did not visit a medical facility for care.  The fever and symptoms lasted for about a week, after which they rapidly subsided.  When I returned to my home I reported the event to the medical clinic where I had received the anthrax vaccination and was told it was not an "adverse event" because I had not reported it while it was occurring.  Therefore they refused to document it and it remains "undocumented."  Because I'm a dentist, I think I understand an adverse physical reaction when it occurs.  This  was definitely an adverse reaction as I spent several days in bed with fever.  Previously to this vaccination, I had experienced milder reactions to the anthrax vaccine.  Since they were becoming progressively worse, I refused the final, fourth vaccination because I was afraid of the consequences and because I believed that military medicine had been encouraged to not report adverse reactions.

Headache, Myalgia, Arthralgia, NauseaVomiting, chills, severe headache Narrative:
The first few days I had injection site pain, aches, and some stomach issues, and the general ill feeling most people have. It was not nearly as bad as I expected from hearing the stories of other peoples 2 dose effects.  However, after all that went away, on day 4 I was startled with not being able to do very simple math that I had been able to do with ease leading up to this date (simple math multiplication questions that I quiz my young daughters on like 6x7). This wasn't general brain fog, this scared me like I was having full blown dementia. I also had heart palpitations at night. Note: My family and I wondered if we had Covid in January of 2019 caught during a trip. This was before testing was available and by the time the antibody testing came out it was too late to tell. However, I had experienced extreme tiredness after having seemingly recovered from that illness, heart palpitations, and brain fog. I always wondered if this was long Covid symptoms. However, I had recovered and had eerily the same symptoms after the second shot but the brain fog was more prevalent.  I don't know if it is tied to it. but I also developed bumps on my right arm that burned and itched (not the vaccine arm) that lasted a few months.

She did admit to some shortness of breath but was unsure if due to anxiety or chest pain. She presented to nearby ER, was given oral BENADRYL and 1 hour later all symptoms except mild puffiness to left side of face had resolved. She was observed for 6 hours without sequelae and resolution of all symptoms. Of interest was a note on 4/15/2013 where she presented to ER for chest pain with left arm heaviness and facial paresthesia while sitting at her desk. Pain lasted <6 minutes 3/10 pain scale with about 6 reoccurrences 24 hours after an upper body workout.

She advised she self-treated herself with oral BENADRYL. Providers note she left after 1 hour without incidence. She was diagnosed with possible non-anaphylactic adverse reaction to flu vaccine and probably oral allergy syndrome. She was instructed to continue with ACIP/CDC guidelines for yearly flu vaccinations. (AHLTA note 12/31/2013). In April 2014 evaluation by allergy clinic for possible food allergies noted similar complaints of left facial numbness after eating black and white cookie and had had similar symptoms when turning her head to the side in March 2014. She reported randomly that her tongue or lips felt swollen and taste buds looked red with/without foot intake. She also noted blisters after taking combo pill of magnesium and Vit D supplement that eased with oral BENADRYL (see ALHTA note 4/29/2014).
