The day after receiving flu shot, felt like "hit by sledge hammer" - achy and tired feeling - spent whole day on couch, dozing off and on - no appetite; severe headache with pain behind right eye.  Symptoms lasted one day.
Incident occurred on 7/16/08 and again 8/21/08 with 2 different nurses as vaccinations.  11/24/2008 - client reports with 1st injection on left arm 4-5 hours felt severe pain over my heart; it radiated to my left arm down to the elbow and up to my neck.  It hurt when I moved my head too.  I could not sleep well that night even with Aleve.  This pain lasted 3-4 days.  It slowly decreased and completely gone in about a week.  There was a residual soreness.  The second injection created the same sensation but not as severe.  This was all on my left side.  Have had another "small pain" over my heart the other evening.  It did not last very long.  Recommendation: File D VAERS; 2.  Asked client to see her Dr. regarding heart disease.  3.  Defer further vaccinations until seen by physician.
Within ten hours of receiving the vaccine, I had a debilitating headache, sore arm/muscle, body aches, 101.5 fever, fatigue, sleeplessness. It's been about 24-hours and fever has subsided but headache and fatigue is worse, even with Ibuprofen in me. I feel like I have Covid again.
About 1-2 days or so after getting the shot, certain parts of my body started to become itchy.  It moved from part to part until about 5 days after the shot I wanted to tear all of my skin off (from head to toe).  I contacted my primary physician, PA,  he placed me on Hydroxyzine and steroids.  I don't remember the amounts.  Those seemed to help and by the time I was done with the treatment,  say 5-10 days later everything seemed fine until I got my second shot.  Second shot came about about a week or two after I was done with my prescriptions.  Rec second shot on 04/30/21 and it started again same as above.  PA put me on same treatment I believe within 2-5 days after shot.   I took that round of pills and it appeared to go away.  Within 15-17 days later after treatment stopped I started feeling itchy again but this time it was my back.  Itching started one day no rash or spots, next day I had little spots on my back and itching, then by the third day my back was extremely itchy and all rashy. I went to Urgent care, They put me on the same treatment as PA had put me on.  Same thing occurred, treatment, went away, 15-17 days later, back again.  Another trip to urgent care and same process.  After that trip to Urgent care, my primary scheduled an apt and then referred me to the Allergist.   I am now seeing Dr. to do what he calls "reboot my blood system". This put me on  monthly shots of Xolair Omalizumab, one in each arm (two total) once a month for the next 6 months to a year.   And there are no guarantees that it will officially stop the reaction I am having.  The only thing different in my life during this time was the shot, so that is the only conclusion I can come too.  I eat the same foods, use the same soaps, tried changing things during the process to see if it could have been anything else.  Nothing helped and the reaction kept recurring.  Since I have been put on the shots, I am not having the reaction on my back.  I'm a little itchy on occasion still but it's much better than it was.
