I just started to research online the possible side effects of the H1N1 Vaccine and to see if there is anyone else out there having the same issues I am since getting the vaccine in October 2009.
I had a Bone Marrow Transplant in October 2003 and the doctors wanted me to get the flu vaccines each year. I would get them even though they made me sick, sometimes for 3 days other times it would take weeks to feel better, but I thought it would be better then getting the flu and actually dying from it. Then in 2008 we decided to do 1/2 a dose at a time. This still made me sick after but not as severe, but I had decided that I wouldn’t get the other half of the dose.
Then the H1N1 scare came around and the doctors really wanted me to get the flu shot and the H1N1 shot. I had actually just starting feeling good, like my old self (before I got sick), that summer and I was so excited! I had even started a part time job and felt great, until I made the stupid mistake of getting the shots!
I started with my half dose of the flu shot first and to my amazement I was only sick for a few days.We decided to get a half shot of the H1N1 as well, BIG MISTAKE! I knew something was wrong when symptoms started in like 30 minutes after getting the shot. I started to get chills, and a headache a just started feeling funny. I had to leave work and I never was able to go back. From there it went to severe joint pain,nausea,fatigue,chills,weakness,you name it I had it. It got so bad that I had to be checked to see if I actually had H1N1 because all my symptoms matched it. I have not felt right since that day. I feel like I have the flu everyday bascially. I am no where near the person I was before that shot. I’ve told all my doctors this but I don’t think they know what to do. I am someone that is always doing something and kept a clean house and it takes everything I have to do my day to day stuff and most times this doesn’t even get done. I hardly leave the house unless it’s to go to the doctors or something. I have no doubt that H1N1 shot has done this, now how do I fix it??? If ANYONE knows what if anything can help please let me know. I pray that each of you that are having problems get better too.

Comment on Why Won’t The Mainstream Media Report On The Raging Epidemic Of Horrific H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Side Effects? by Sandy

Sandy — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:56:01 +0000

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.

Comment on Severe Joint Pain After Getting The H1N1 Vaccine by John Duff

For weeks I thought my mind was going. crazy. Then today I found this web site. In early December 2011 I had the combination swine and flu vaccination. This is the first time this combination has been given here in the uUK. A few weeks later and almost every joint in my body has ached. A simple thing like bending or playing guitar has become now so painfull. There seems to be tendenitis in both my thumb joints, severe pain in my lower back and hips. The pain moves randomly from joint to joint. My Dr is sending me to a Rheumatologist as my recent blood works are normal. I was put on very strong painkillers yesterday but so far they have had no affect on the pain. I will of course persevere. Thanks to everyone for being so honest and at least giving me a possible reason for my pain. I agree that the vaccination does save lives but something should be done to protect those like us who are vulnerable to side effects of medication. This was the first time I had ever taken the flu vaccination. Medication of any kind affects me but I was recently diagnosed with diabetes type 2. They said I was inone of the at risk groups and the vaccination was advisable. I have no doubt the medical proffession here will never admit that my symptoms are related to the combination flu vaccine. I hope everyone does get better from these awful side effects.

I got the flu shot mid-November. Right away my arm was sore (needles and pins). Then next day I had severe pain in my back – top, left side. The pain shoots from back to front near my left breast. This has continued every day, off and on, every since. It was so bad that I went to emergency and had tests – no heart attack. The doctor on call thought it was muscle and nerve related. He thought that as a follow up I should go to a heart specialist – today I go, and I know if I mention it was caused from the flu shot he will brush it off. However, I know that it was from the shot. I can’t walk very far because I get this sharp pain in my chest, back and arm and shortness of breath. I am glad I found this message board as many have the same symptoms that proves to me that I am not crazy.

Comment on Severe Reactions To The H1N1 Vaccine That Continue To Get Worse by Sue Reszneki, R.N.

I took the injection 12-23-09, but I fought until Dec., 2010 to get help – and a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. I was put on Neurontin (Gabapentin) for the Fibromyalgia pain. But the best part of being prescribed Gabapentin – I found out by accident – is it is an anti-viral medication! So I have been able to control the progression of the ‘fibromyalgia’ to some degree – not stopping or curing it, but slowing it down. The Gabapentin helps the hurting joint and bone pain, the vision problems, the burning sensation in the skin, mouth, and face. I was convinced long before being put on the Gabapentin that I had developed a virus. With the anti-viral properties of this med, now I am undeniably certain. Hope this helps somebody. If you want, friend me on Facebook.

I just wrote a long post and the system booted me, Here is a recap in a nutshell:

1- pain a injection site that spread to neck and became stiff (all arm and shoulder and neck) it eased in time, 6 weeks or more but never left. 2009

2- carpal tunel diagnosed in both wrists, I was offered an operation to release the joints. FALL -2009 and still goign on.

3- Tendonitis in both shoulders, any physical affort produces a painful flare up, I am in pain all the time and wake up with “arms on fire” feelinng if I life anything heavier that 25 pounds. This has not gone away. Fall 2009 and Winter 2010 and got worse until now, still going on.

4- Plantar fascitiis in both feet. Heel spur in left foot. Eased after a year of HOT YOGA, pain was excrutiating.2010 – 2011 (now ended)

5-left hip tendonitis and left knee tendonitis. In full flare from 2010-2011

6-Heart arythmia – was hospitalised in emergency and diagnosed with mild arythmia.

7- Sleep disturbances from pain – was tested all night in hospital sleep room for apnea etc and was told I wake up with sudden and obvious pain bursts and cramps. (once awake I use the loo and fall back asleep) it occurs about 5 or 6 times per night.

I was very healthy, 45, and worked out 5 times a week, now I can barely keep my day job, I oversleep daily to make up for the and I take pain medication. I am 47 and feel like 97. I continue bikram hot yoga it is the only thing that helps as well as eating vegan.

I received H1N1 and Seasonal Flu vaccine while pregnant. My son when born got the Hep B vaccine. At two weeks old I noticed blood on the sheets. He was severely allergic and scratching himself in the night. His entire body was having a severe reaction to everything. I nursed for 8 months. He was diagnosed with EOE. I was wondering if other parents have had similar experiences. I am trying to connect the dots. I haven’t given any other vaccines. He is two years old now.

I have the same symptoms after a trivalent flu vaccine in October that included 2 strains of the swine flu virus. I have consulted several nurses and my pharmacist who are adamant that they have never heard of such an adverse reaction to the flu shot. I have had severe joint pain since just a few hours after the vaccine, arms are too week to lift, bouts of increased pulse rate, elevated BP and night sweats. At this point I am reasy to see a doctor…if nothing else to treat these terrible symptoms.

Got my flu shots the last two years and I’m beginning to realize that my wrist pain, shoulder pain, index finger swelling and stiffness, and TMJ may have been caused by them. I have trouble doing routine things like opening jars, doors, and sleeping because of the aches and pains.

I am so glad to read these posts! Although I am sad there are so many of us suffering. I also received the flu shot for the first time in my life in mid November and now have joint pain that has become so severe I can no longer walk for more than a minute or two at a time. My ankles, knees and hips hurt continuously and the pain becomes severe if I am in one position too long. I began going to Physical Therapy and the therapist recommended massage with was painful but helped for a day. We have both been puzzled by this pain since I was a healthy and active person before this started and there is no injury to link it to. Does anyone also have unusual rashes? I have had several in different parts of my body and my doctor has said they are like an autoimmune disease but isn’t sure what to make of it. I am miserable and would welcome any ideas for relief.

Comment on Severe Joint Pain After Getting The H1N1 Vaccine by Aggie

Aggie — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 01:03:34 +0000

I got my flu shot about 3 weeks ago,Late November 2011. This description from http://www.flu.gov “The 2011-2012 flu vaccine protects against an influenza A H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the 2009 H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season.” I have never had any more than a slightly sore arm for a day or two from past vaccines, When I got this one, I had the usual slight soreness in the injection site that was gone in a day or so, but a few days later my deltoid muscle in the arm of the injection became sore and ached a bit, kind of like I had worked out or slept on it wrong. It has not gone away but has become worse and spread to my biceps, triceps and the muscles of my forearm….and to other spots on the same side(right) of my body including neck, ribs, hips and leg…and I have felt kind of crummy. Just today it occurred to me it might be connected to the vaccine. So I went to the web and to my surprise found that there are many similar complaints from others after getting this year’s vaccine and also in prior years. I am a bit relieved to at least think I may know the cause and a little anxious as I am not sure if this will go away or will continue and get worse. I have taken acetaminophen and my mom’s tramadol for the pains, especially in the AM when I first get up and at night to help to go to sleep. A heating pad helps and, I have also found that light excercise and stretching helps. For now I will follow good health habits, nutrition, etc. and think positive. I agree with Donna that the flu vaccine in general is good prevention of a serious disease, but there are adverse effects, and we need to be informed.

Comment on Severe Joint Pain After Getting The H1N1 Vaccine by Michael Healey

Michael Healey — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:59:53 +0000

Wow! You all have described my symptoms exactly. I am 58 and have always been strong and active. I had the H1N1 vaccine on Oct 11, 2011 because I work at a hospital and about two weeks later I came home with flu like symptoms. I know that the virus is dead and cannot cause the flu, so I just thought it was a fluke and would pass. I began to experience stiffness and fever on the drive home from work and had incredible difficulty getting out of my truck at home and walking up the steps to the front door. The fever went away overnight with ibuprofen but the stiffness has lingered and has become more severe with time. My stiffness also moves from joint to joint, but it seems my knees and wrists are the worst. I have had some morning stiffness for a few years and accepted it as the product of age and overuse. My BP went up to the point that I have had to start meds, and have begun meloxicam for the pain and stiffness. It has helped somewhat. At least now I can sleep a few hours a night. My BP is still out of safe range and I will likely have to incresase the medication to keep it in check. I have read all of your comments and can identify with very many of them. Some are a mirror image of what I have experienced. The problem seems to be in the solution. Has anyone found an openminded physician that may have a way to reverse or at least arrest the effects of this?

Hey There Thevaccinesideeffects,
Cool Post, Some people may experience mild joint pain from minor injury; however, the pain can often by subsided simply by resting. That being said, there are others who have joint pain for various reasons such as infections, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions and degenerative diseases.
I look forward to your next post

Comment on Bell’s Palsy? An H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Victim Fears The Worst by Liz

I got the flu shot this year, as I usually do (I have asthma). Unfortunately, within 1 week of getting the shot this year I also got Bell’s Palsy for the first time in my life.

Are they linked? Possibly… within minutes after getting the flu shot it felt like I had a whole body hot flash, and my heart was racing. It went away just as quick, but that was also the first time something like that had ever happened to me…

I’ve always been very active. I’m 48 and have had the start of some osteoarthritis but since I received the flu vaccine in Oct all of my joints have started aching. If I sit for more than 20 min. It hurts to stand and walk. Joints that hurt before are worse and others that never hurt do now, especially my hips. The only thing I can relate it to is the flu vaccine. I think it’s too progressive too quickly to be a normal course of degenerative arthritis. Wondering if I should report this or if there’s anything I can do about it. I’ve been to a chiropractor and I’ve had 2 full body massages.ibuprofen also helps. Light exercising and stretching is also helpful. But I’m used to high impact workouts! I read these reports and think we may be experiencing something worth investigating . I’m not discouraging the flu vaccine, it saves many lives. Just wondering if I should receive it next year,or if changes need to be made with its ingredients, or what others think. There’s power in knowledge but want it to be factual. Thanks.

I received the H1N1 vaccine in Jan.2010 and had my first reaction in mid-March. I experienced severe aching of my entire body, severe chilling, elevated temp, headache, and restlessness that lasted about one week. It resolved entirely only to reoccur 3 wks later. Since then I had episodes of less severity, duration and frequency until May 2011. I did not have another episode until Nov.4,2011. This one lasted 10 days and was very severe. I, too, experience cardiac arrhythmias which resolve after 4-5 days. Treatment?

Comment on Adverse Reaction To A Varicella Vaccine by Dannie

But there is no long-term duration of protection from varicella vaccine, but there are now persons vaccinated more than 30 years ago with no evidence of waning immunity, while others have become vulnerable in as few as six years.

In some cases people do not get enough sign of protection may get feel of chickenpox illness.

I must say its great post to know about Reaction To A Varicella Vaccine..thanks !

Comment on 10 Stories Of Severe H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Side Effects That Should Deeply Sadden You by silwal

silwal — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:12:09 +0000

I took flu Jab @ boots around 3 weeks ago. Pharmacist said that it will take 2 weeks to make effects. Since last friday I am feeling nerve like pain in my right thigh joint.
I dont have any other symptoms so far. I will be registering GP appointment today.
I have started limping a bit. I am very worried. I wonder if this is because of the vaccine that received.

The Flu Jab brochure states following:

“Rare reactions include nerve pain and inflammation, numbness, tingling, fits, thrombocytopaenia (a blood disorder), vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels) and rare nerve disorders. Seek medical advice if you experience any of these”

I am very worried.
