Have you noticed how once a position becomes the "accepted" view of reality, none of the mainstream media networks will report on anything that even questions that viewpoint? For example, the notion that the H1N1 swine flu vaccine is perfectly safe and that side effects are incredibly rare has been swallowed hook, line and sinker by the mainstream media and so they refuse to report anything that would suggest otherwise. Meanwhile large numbers of people are experiencing the most pain and the most horrific health problems of their lives. But the doctors and the establishment media keep telling them that everything is "fine" and that it must have been something else that is causing their problems. It's disgusting. There is right now an epidemic of horrible H1N1 swine flu vaccine side effects in the United States and nobody in the mainstream media is talking about it.
Fortunately, there are a few websites that will talk about it. We are one of them. The following are just a few of the recent testimonies from readers of this site who have reported what has happened to them....
Iris:
I became very ill after the swine flu shot – I’ve never been so ill in my entire life. I was sick for nearly a month, my whole body ached, my bones felt like they were shattered to pieces. The pain was unreal and I’ve never experienced such pain ever before. In addition, my spine and my hips stiffened and were so rigid I did not want to move – and when I did move it seemed as if my bones were shattering into a million pieces. My ears were infected, my lungs were infected, I had a sinus infection, the glands in my neck were swollen and very sore, I ran a high fever for days, and then there was the severe stiffening and pain in my bones especially so in my spine. I thought I was dying – something was wrong with me. I rarely get sick – I’m a pretty healthy woman at 45 and have been healthy all my life. I regret ever getting the H1N1 and have warned my entire family against it. I’m mostly concerned about the long-term side effects, for my step-son and grandson both had the swine flu shot as well.
I feel lied to and cheated into getting this shot!!!
K.E.A.:
I received an H1N1 shot on Dec. 22 at our local VNA. Two weeks later I started joint pains that moved around and by now I have swollen wrists and an extremely sore shoulder, especially when I lie down. Most every joint in my body is painful off and on. Therefore I get very little rest at night and can barely get out of bed in the morning. I may have Lupus induced arthritis!
Anyone else out there with the same problems?
Janet:
I got the H1N1 along with so many other coworkers and patients in October. I also got the seasonal flu vaccine. About a week after recievine the shot i was so sick and week with flu symptoms I could not go to work. About a month after the shot a came down with a bad case of bronchitis and missed 3 days of work. No we are in the third week of March and again I have bronchitis. I have never had any bronchial issues. I have always been healthy with only a cold once a year at the most. I feel that my illnesses this year have been directly related to recieveing the H1N1. I take the seasonal flu every year with no problems.
Carolyn:
I received my H1N1 in December 2009. Since then my left arm shoulder and elbow is constantly hurting. I finally went to my Dr. told him it all started with the H1N1. I had no issues with it prior to the shot. The Dr said it is triple Tendonites…take ibuprofen and take it easy. It is still in constant pain. I KNOW it started with the H1N1 shoT!
Kym:
I was administered the H1N1 vaccine in January of 2010. Shortly, thereafter (within 3 minutes) I became short of breath w/ chest tightness. I nearly passed out and was sent to the ER. At the ER, the doctor gave me a shot of ativan and I still had shortness of breath and an albuterol nebulizer. I still felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. It was obvious there was no protocol to follow for someone with a reaction to the H1N1 vaccine. I knew this ER doctor didn’t know how to treat me and discharged me and I left. I made a follow up with my primary care doctor and he mentioned that I had an allergic reaction to the H1N1 vaccine and asked if I was given a shot called, SoluMedrol in the ER and I said, “no”. He gave me a shot of SoluMedrol and I felt much better but, the shortness of breath and chest tightness came back within 2 days. Again, he gave me a short of SoluMedrol, and let me know that it would take about 3 months for the vaccine to exit out of my body, to drink lots of water, take an antihistamine and to think good thoughts. Again, I came back with shortness of breath to his office and he put me on a prednisone taper and that didn’t really help so, I asked to see an allergist to get tested for allergies. Supposedly, I am allergic to juniper and cottonwood and the allergist and asthma doc told me that maybe I was already short of breath because of the juniper blooming season and also had a reaction to the H1N1 vaccine. She is currently treating me with asthma medications and I am still having shortness of breath and chest tightness and what feels like spasms in my chest. My heart checked out very well. It is very frustrating and I am hoping that it is really related to the juniper season and that the H1N1 vaccine will not affect me like it has others. I am waiting. This is the second month after taking the H1N1 vaccine. I’ve reported the reaction in the VAERS system: http://vaers.hhs.gov/index
And am looking at the Compensation Program as well listed on the website.
TH:
I got my H1N1 in November 2009. I have never had any joint pain until after the H1N1 shot. I have since had Joint pain in different joints at different times since including wrist,elbows,shoulders, hips, knees,ankles, feet, hands. It seams to move around from area to area and wakes me up at night. This is March now and it is occuring a little less often.
Linda:
I too had the H1N1 shot in Oct. Ten years ago they tested me for Lupas. Came back neg. I have had low white blood count for years. Still my doctor gave the shot to me. It has been 5 months now and I have just gone through TMJ (joint problems of the jaw.) Just this past week I now have Facet Disease,in my discs.Degenerative disc disease. I suffer with constant pain and fear the worst. Otherwise I was a healthy person. Wish I had never gotten this shot. I believe with having white blood count being low,brought on my joint pains!
Carri:
I had my first–and only–flu shot about 20 years ago. Like Polly, I also had the severe pain at the injection site for 6-9 months afterward! Anytime I used the affected muscle, it felt like someone was stabbing me in the arm. I also started having fibromyalgia symptoms within a few months, and still have them today. Was it a coincidence?
Shelley:
I also have chronic arm pain after receiving the H1N1 vaccine more than 2 months ago. I asked my doc about it and she said a nerve was likely hit and that it would go away. Hope she’s right.
Alex:
I am an Airman in the Air Force. I was forced to take the shot here on base. I was an athlete, very active, I am only 20 years old. I ran track, ski’ed, was in perfect health in every way, after I recieved the vaccine, I can’t sleep, I am always tired, I developed weird rashes on my shoulders, I am only 20 and I have hip pain all of a sudden in my right hip, I did not hurt it, it was the shot.
Stephanie:
I took the flu shot in november of 2006 while I was pregnant with my 4th child. around 6 weeks later I came down with the most debillitating case of flu I’ve ever experienced. I could not get up out of bed and thought I was going to die. After I suffered for two weeks I had such bad headachs that I figgure my teeth were rotting out of my mouth so I went to the dentist. They figgured out my teeth were fine but were allarmed at the high fever and bulging ear drums presented. They prescribed amoxicillin which did make me feel a bit better and reduced the fever but my daughter was born with screwed up teeth from the antibiotic I took to survive.
Naomi:
I had the h1n1 shot the middle of dec. Shortly after I developed pain/numbness/tingling in my right shoulder and hip. Been having really bad headaches which leave me bed ridden for the day. Terrible fatigue and brain fogginess. Had shoulder x-ray to rule out pinched nerve. Not sure what to do now, back to the doctor I guess, though I am not confident that I will get any help. Just wondering if anyone else has has been feeling long term effects. It is going on eight weeks now and the pain is getting worse. Please if anyone has any suggestions……

I got the h1n1 vaccine on January 4,2010. That night I started having severe pain in my legs. Whole muscle groups would contract painfully and burn too. Sometimes the pain is a burning pain and other times it is a strong dull pain. I have missed days of work and nights of sleep because of it. I have tried to take Potassium and vitamin supplements to see if that would help but the pain is still present.I warned all my family and friends about the shot to get educated about it first to decide if they really want to risk it.
In Canada, got the shot end of Oct. Six months later and I still have numbness/tingling in my hands and face all of the time, those are what I consider my good days though. A bad week looks like this: Sore everywhere, extreme fatigue, brain fog, extreme numbness in hands, arms, feet, legs, face and head, muscle exhaustion and burning, muscle tightenings on their own.
My symptoms started within a week of the shot, otherwise symptom free before that. I did experience shortness of breath and anxiety attacks in the beginning, out of no where. Weird stuff, I regret this but I remain positive that I will fully recover.
2 weeks prior to Thanksgiving had H1N1 shot. My hips started hurting, then high fever that wouldnt break. 4 days later in ER getting spinal tab and
fluid pulled off my knees. Couldnt open a bottle of water, dress my child, put my shoes on, heck I couldnt walk! Polyarthitis lasted 10 days. Bloodwork came back abnormal. Liver enzymes 350-450 (norm 30-40). Low WBC. Tested for Lupus, MS, RA, a few others- all neg. I still have pain in hips, and clicking of jionts, elbows, shoulders, ankles. As I t ype this now Im wearing a hard splint from OT on my thumb. I dont even get the common cold my immune system is so good but dam if I didnt get adverse effects from H1N1.
Wishing You Well
On Nov 10 2009 I got a H1N1 Swine Flu Shot. 3-5 days later my left upper arm hurt down from the injection point (which I thought was high near the shoulder). A number of days later, the ache moved to the other arm. It has now been 6 months, and I have gone through a real ordeal including muscle aches, pains (some severe in arms), twitchings, spasms, shooting pains, all over muscle achiness, moving around of aches (some have stop hurting and moved to another muscle), limited mobility in left arm, pain at night in muscles making it impossible to sleep, fear from pain anxiety to go to sleep at time. I am now at a point where I have been sleeping with an arm sling so I don’t “over move” my left arm which can put me into very painfu, lingering l convolsive movements. I have to watch every movement I make with my left arm so I don’t cause it resistence. I can’t brush my hair on the right side, difficulty washing/drying, lifting, fast moves= pain for left arm, unable to put on/off tops with buttoned fronts, unable to wear pull on tops–left feeling like a partial invalid. Doctor doesn’t believe its due to the shot; he can’t tell me what causes it. He thinks it’s due to over exercise (not true). He’s given me steriods (taken 3x now-pain is still not gone in left arm), narcotics, muscle relaxers (haven’t used yet). Tylonol & Codiene doesn’t work well at all–feel ache through Codiene. Tylonol doesn’t work well by itself even 650mg. Blood tests come out normal. I feel at a loss (angry,frustrated,scared)for an explanation of what is going on. How can something be treated without a name on it? The doctor can’t seem to help. I am afraid something bad has happened to my right upper arm muscle for this to be going on this long. I’ve read blogs of folks in my predicament. Are we nothing but statistics with no recourse or help??
I also work in health care and was pressured to get the H1N1 but I refused, I thought it was put out way too fast to feel comfortable with it and I did not get anyone in my family vaccinated either. I felt really guilty at first but now after reading all of these stories I am glad I held firm and did not do it. I get the regular flu shot every year and have never had any problems but there was just something about this one that made me nervous.
I got the H1N1 for the first time to protect my son as im a waitress around a lot of people who travel. After the shot I had soreness around the shot, but went away 8 days later only to return in my upper arm with a vengence it will not go away burning and aches so bad I cannot sleep. Only time it gets relief is when I use it a lot then after it comes back. By the time I use it so much to make the pain go away im am so tired.
When will it go away 3 weeks of pain now.
I wished I never got the shot, my husband told me about the shots in the 70′s but I thought he was just over reacting. He is 45 and never had a flu shot in his life.
I received the flu shot for the first time ever in my life this year. I have never gotten the flu before and I am in my 59′s. We were forced to get it this year at work and I was very unhappy. I had muscle aches within 2 days and diahrea within 5 days then a cold and cough there after that worsens daily. I am agree that we have to put something like that in our healthy bodies and I am angry that we should have to wear a mask if we are not ill. If I were sick I would be happy to wear one but not if I am well and have never had the flu.
I got my Flu Shot on 12/23/10 and I noticed the nurse gave me shot too high and it hurt really bad then she had a problem pulling it out an when she did I heard a sound as if something popped then later on when I went home, I had to stay in bed for the rest of the day & night since my arm and shoulder was hurting really badly. I figured it would go away the next day, but hurt the same way the following day. As days passed by the pain stayed, but some day’s the pain would be less and then the pain would come back full force.
It is now 1/16/11, and the pain is really bad today, I can barely move my arm without the arm jerking with aching & pinching feeling. The pain is less somedays and somedays it’s the worst like today. I’m sick of this pain, and I don’t really know if the Combination Flu Shot caused this or the fact that the nurse had poor training in administering the needle into the left arm.
Next week, I’m going back there to file a complaint against that nurse, and I heard the MRI usually shows the damage of the Flu Shot, so that’s what I will ask for from the Doctor. I also heard that a really good Massage Therapist can maybe make the arm an shoulder pain better, but not sure if the real cause will go away from arm.
My friend had the shot, he is in the armed forces, he died 3 days after, he was in perfect health, the doctor said it was just heart failiure.
My daughter had an H1N1 flu shot last Sepember, 2010. Around the end of October, she began losing handfuls of hair. To this date, she has no hair anywhere – she’s lost it all. She aches in her joints as well. After countless bloodwork and many Drs, there is still no diagnosis. She will only be 24 years old in October, 2011. This has been the most frustrating thing we’ve ever gone thru. No one will admit it was the shot, but it’s just too much of a coincidence; especially knowing there is another girl in our area that has had the same thing happen – and the only thing she and my daughter have in common is that shot.
I received my flu shot Wednesday Oct. 27, 2011 and that even my mouth broke out in blisters. The next day I was running a fever and coughing and problem breathing. Feels the the flu to me, could have saved my ins. company some money.
Our son was 19 years old, when he passed away on Nov. 20, 2009, 32 days after receiving the H1N1 vaccine, Flumist. He was an active, healthy college student and our only child. The autopsy concluded that he died from Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart caused by a recent viral infection. The medical examiner said it would have been caused by the flu he had in Oct. I reminded her that he did not have the flu, he had the H1N1 vaccine, and her response was that she “misunderstood”. She had been told several times that he had the vaccine, the first being the day after he died and every week for three months. Every time her response was, “It couldn’t be the vaccine.” When she told us that it was Myocarditis, I asked if they could test for the H1N1 vaccine and she told me no, it had been too long.
