BEFORE ...... AND AFTER A VACCINE
Searching the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is not exactly simple for the average person, so I am posting the results for a few searches I have done here on this blog.
The first search I did was for all the brain damage related reports from Feb 2018 - Feb 2019.
There were 224 reports of Vaccines causing Brain injuries. One very interesting report was posted by a physician - so I have highlighted it and placed it at the top...
"Notes" "Symptoms" "Symptoms Code" "VAERS ID" "VAERS ID Code" Adverse Event Description
"MENTAL IMPAIRMENT" "10027374" "787807-1" "787807-1" "I am a physician with many years of experience, former medical school professor, and widely published biological scientist. I have never had an adverse reaction to any drug or vaccine before SHINGRIX and am in good health. My adverse effects from this vaccine were extremely severe! Two days after receiving it I developed severe flu-like symptoms including bronchitis with wheezing. Within the next few days I developed a viral encephalitis that seriously impaired by ability to think (especially creatively), to move quickly, or to carry out most of my normal functions. I felt like I had aged about 25 years in a few days. This lasted for about two weeks and was deeply frightening. Another side effect was an almost complete loss of sexual function. These symptoms were treated with valacyclovir at full therapeutic doses for several weeks, and gradually decreased. I am not sure that even now 2 months later I have been restored to full health. I have discussed my symptoms with several other people, including other physicians, who have received this vaccine and some of them reported similar hard-to-describe but clear cut impairments of mental function. I BELIEVE THIS VACCINE IS DANGEROUS AND IT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET UNTIL A DETAILED REASSESSMENT OF ITS ADVERSE EFFECTS IS COMPLETED. I have no economic or other hidden interest in making the above statement, but I am convinced on the basis of about 50 years of experience in medicine and medical research that this live modified virus is a threat to public health and that its advantages, if any, over the prior shingles vaccine in shingles prevention are more than outweighed by its obvious frequent and in some cases VERY severe adverse reactions. I hope you will pay careful attention to this communication."
"BICKERSTAFF'S ENCEPHALITIS" "10076985" "778086-1" "778086-1" "2 1/2 weeks after vaccine, and in the context of cold symptoms, developed progressive drowsiness and hypotonia. Initially treated with IVIG for presumptive Guillain-Barre Syndrome. No improvement. Then the working diagnosis became botulism-however, the cultures were negative. Current working diagnosis is Bickerstaff encephalitis. He did have antecedent viral symptoms, so the link to his 4 months vaccines is not solid."
"BRAIN DEATH" "10049054" "800352-1" "800352-1" ""Over the next 4 days, showed a lack of smiling/laughing/playing, markedly increased sleep, began making bubbles. Slightly improving on 5th to 6th day, but still longer sleep patterns. On day 6, made ""cooing"" noise while being burped, then became unresponsive. Transported to the hospital and brain death pronounced the next day. Cause of death unknown.""

On an unknown date, the outcome of the brain neoplasm was unknown and the outcome of the influenza-like symptoms, nausea and injection site pain were recovered/resolved. It was unknown if the reporter considered the brain neoplasm, influenza-like symptoms, nausea and injection site pain to be related to SHINGRIX. Additional information received as follows: The case was reported by the patient's husband. The patient was diagnosed with a brain tumor. As treatment, the patient had a resection of the brain tumor. The patient had flu-like symptoms, nausea and some pain at the injection site. The symptoms were lasted about 3 days. The reporter stated he did not believe the tumor was related to SHINGRIX.

Parents called our office and were advised to go to the ER. They went to ER where they suspected an ear infection and labyrinthitis. They treated her with amoxicillin and sent her home. They followed up with me 11/29/18, where she was observed in the waiting room to have upper extremity tremors, and poor eye contact. She would not walk during clinic visit and was sent back to ER. They did a head CT and MRI. The attending physician suspects she had brain swelling when her symptoms started, but the swelling may have resolved spontaneously by the time the imaging studies were done."
"BRAIN OPERATION" "10061732" "755342-1" "755342-1" "This case was reported by a consumer via call center representative and described the occurrence of aura in a 57-year-old female patient who received BOOSTRIX for prophylaxis. Co-suspect products included LAMICTAL unknown for epilepsy. Concurrent medical conditions included epilepsy. Concomitant products included CLARITIN, IMODIUM and ZOCOR. On 25th May 2018, the patient received BOOSTRIX .5 ml. On an unknown date, the patient started LAMICTAL (oral) 500 mg once daily (500 mg daily). On 25th May 2018, 9 hrs after receiving BOOSTRIX and unknown after starting LAMICTAL, the patient experienced aura. LAMICTAL was continued with no change. On an unknown date, the outcome of the aura was recovered/resolved. The reporter considered the aura to be almost certainly related to BOOSTRIX and LAMICTAL. Additional information was received as follows: The patient had surgery to had piece of brain removed for epilepsy treatment. The patient was using multivitamin and PROTONIX as concomitant product. The patient stated that she had a history of epilepsy and states that she had not any seizure activity in 34 years. Nine hours after receiving the vaccine, the patient stated that she had aura and she had it again about 2 hours after first experience. The patient panicked because she usually gets aura prior to having a seizure. The patient did not experienced, however, had a seizure, but rather it was a chemical reaction. The patient had the product information (PI) and stated that read the ingredients, but asks if thiomersal was one of the ingredients in BOOSTRIX. The patient stated that thiomersal was known to cause seizures. The patient informed that she could not find any mention of thiomersal in the PI but suggested that she had her health care professional (HCP) call our medical information department. The call center representative mentioned that the patient uses LAMICTAL as preventative treatment for her epilepsy so it was listed as a suspect product. The patient did not feel that the LAMICTAL was what caused her symptoms. The patient's primary care physician was aware of her symptoms."

"COMPUTERISED TOMOGRAM HEAD" "10054003" "766942-1" "766942-1" ""I was bitten by a bat on July 21, 2018. I was able to capture it and took it to the local Wildlife Center where a form was filled out regarding the animal. Despite info being provided on the intake form regarding the bite, the bat was let go by the local Wildlife Center. It should have been killed and tested for rabies. Because of the condition of the bat was unknown, I had to undergo rabies vaccination (using RABAVERT), which is supposed be a series of the initial rig plus 5 doses, which were administered by the ER at Hospital. The ER failed to read the manufacturers instructions, not once but on 3 subsequent inoculations all of which were administered by different medical staff. In one instance a shot was incorrectly placed in my gluteal muscle which is one of the main areas where you should NOT get the vaccine since there is too much fatty tissue and it can result in the vaccine being rendered ineffective. As a result, I had to start the series over again, and again, there were protocol errors. I have become extremely ill, with fever and chills, blurred vision, slurred speech, burning pain at the injection sites, nausea, narcolepsy, colitis, forgetfulness, and frequent falling due to muscle weakness and dizziness. An infectious disease specialist was called in as well as the CDC and they all decided I just needed more shots, which enhanced my adverse reaction to the vaccine. To date I have been given 15 shots, 2 of which were the initial introduction of weakened rabies virus into my system. My body has no easy way to get rid of the excess vaccine and I have been told I have been overdosed. I have no idea if antibodies have been forming as expected or not because the protocol was not followed. Neither the hospital, the Dept. of Health, nor the CDC have any idea if the shots were effective and no one can guarantee I do not have an active rabies strain in my body, likely due to their incompetence. A titer to test for antibodies should have been done at 14 days, and it was only done this week, almost a month later. I am more sick than I have ever been in my life, I cannot shake this, I have been sleeping most of the time for the past 3 weeks. I have lost 22 lbs. I have no strength and my muscle tone is suffering. In addition, during one visit to the ER, I went hypoxic with my O2 at 80. I called the vaccine manufacturer, Novartis, and they have no idea how to deal with this. There is no protocol to deal with an overdose of this vaccine. Their comment ""we just make it, we don't administer it"". The CDC advised that if I was not deathly ill and hospitalized they wouldn't get involved.

She now has headaches daily and lives in fear of a bad one that will possibly land her back in the hospital. Prior to getting the GARDASIL vaccine my daughter was healthy and did not have migraines.

She could not remember when she got the previous PNEUMOVAX, but it had been awhile. She has a tendency for vagus reactions to pain (passing out), but did fine with the vaccines at the time of injection. However overnight she had some significant reaction: pain, warmth and swelling in her arm and lapse of consciousness. We scheduled an urgent care appt the next day and she ended up in the ER after she passed out several times during the exam. On Weds. 10/10/18, she had a follow-up with her regular physician, who looked on the website/registry and determined that she had already had the PREVNAR 13 in 2016, the PREVNAR 23 booster in 12/17, and had now gotten a third dose of vaccine and was suffering from a significant arthus response. Not life-threatening, but certainly dangerous for a woman with no threshold for pain. This may have been an oversight by the Pharmacist who didn't know how to check the registry correctly, or it may have been intentional because these retail pharmacies appear to be incentivized to administer as many vaccines as they can. She will no longer receive vaccines outside of her physician's office. I've been advised that I can file a complaint with Agency regarding my concern about financial gain."

This ER sent her to a pediatric hospital to be admitted. She stayed the night in Hospital and received meds via IV to get relief from the pain. She was back in the ER on 10/10/18 due to yet another migraine that this time involved hand tingling and mouth tingling. She once again received an IV and fluids and medication. She was released the same day and we followed up with a neurologist on 10/11/18 where she has been put on a daily medication to try to limit the amount of headaches that she gets. She now has headaches daily and lives in fear of a bad one that will possibly land her back in the hospital. Prior to getting the GARDASIL vaccine my daughter was healthy and did not have migraines.

Tried to finish some last minute Christmas shopping but had a hard time driving, was also very hard to focus or think about anything. I went into a store for about 5 minutes and felt as if I was going to pass out while I was checking out, along with intense sweating and what I would describe as hot flashes. Tried to rest for the next few hours into the evening, but even though I was exhausted I could not sleep. As the night went on the symptoms peaked. Around 1AM on the 25th I found myself shaking, sweating, and my legs gave out two times as I tried to stand up. My face was pale and my head was so cloudy and could not think straight. I tried splashing some water on my face and to focus, and almost decided to go to the ER. At this point it felt as if I was drugged, but the feeling that was in my head is so difficult to describe.

She was notably flushed, tachypneic, satting 88% on room air, lungs clear, tachycardic with regular rhythm. I requested my attending physician Dr. to assist me with management at this point. She stated she had to go to the bathroom, as she was having acute-onset diarrhea. She was helped to the restroom by MA and had profuse diarrhea, she subsequently felt too weak to get off the toilet, and was then assisted to the floor. While patient was helped to the bathroom, EMS was called for concerns for anaphylactic shock. Dr. and Dr. accompanied the patient in the bathroom. Vitals were re-obtained which showed BP 70/40s with weak distal extremity pulses.

Benadryl PO 50 mg x1 was also given, and O2 4L NC was started. EMS arrived, and she was still alert and able to answer questions, though with slowed mentation and complaining of diffuse abdominal pain. Given concern for anaphylactic shock, she was emergently transported to the ED by paramedics. At Hospital ED, she received a dose of 10 mg dexamethasone IV and famotidine 40 mg IV, though vital signs were stable upon arrival. She was prescribed an epipen at the time of discharge from the ED. She was diagnosed with anaphylaxis and discharged home in stable condition. She returned to our clinic 12/31/18 for follow-up, and was notably in stable condition. She was referred to an allergist for formal testing, though it is presumed her anaphylaxis was likely secondary to either the PNEUMOVAX vaccine (which she received first) or the flu vaccine (which she received second). I suspect the reaction was more likely secondary to the PNEUMOVAX vaccine, as her symptoms of feeling short of breath started just prior to her receiving the flu vaccine, and she has received the flu vaccine 4 years ago with no adverse effects."

Later that evening, approx 4 hours later, my daughter was having what I would now consider being neurological issues, flailing of the arms and legs and twitching. I kept an eye on her and it seemed to calm down some. I was informed that the emergency room doesn't really do much for infants so I did not take her to the hospital. Saturday, June 2, 2018, around 10 am both my girls were running ridiculously high fevers, I called their Pediatrician and informed her about what was happening to them. and she made the comment that they had been switching around the vaccinations because they were causing infants to have high fevers. She informed me to give them Tylenol. I did and the fevers did go down. Around 2 am Sunday, June 3, 2018, I rechecked their temperature for the 3rd or 4th time and I was happy to see they both had low-grade fevers of 99.2 and 99.1, Patient's being 99.2. I Fed both girls again around 5:30 a.m. they went back to sleep. I went back into their room to check on them because they were being fussy so i put them on their bellies and that seemed to calm them down and they went back to sleep. I awoke around 7:30 a.m. to my baby dead in her crib. She was still on her stomach, I believe she was face down but cannot remember 100%. When I flipped her over she had blood coming out of her nose and she was dead. She was still warm as if she were sleeping, her sister is just fine. We attempted CPR while waiting on the ambulance. She was rushed to the emergency room where they were unable to revive her. I cannot accept that it was caused by anything other than those vaccinations.

He has been feeling great for 2-3 days after his last cold, so Dr. decided he is well enough to be vaccinated. Maybe this was a poor decision in retrospect, in parents' opinion. 12/15: Patient started feeling lethargic, complained of fatigue, congestion returned again, with minor throat pain. 12/16: Patient woke up tired in the morning, refused his milk and breakfast. He laid on the couch for 4 hours and refused his lunch, saying he is tired and not hungry. He had very mild fever (100 or so). I (dad) took him to urgent care where he was tested for flu (negative) and strep (positive). Discharged with Amoxicillin and 150ml of MOTRIN. Felt better that afternoon, ate 2 full meals, went to bed around 8pm, slept a full night. 12/17: Loss of speech and mobility. Patient woke up super lethargic and tired. When I tried talking to him, his speech was slurred, and his steps were wobbly. Rushed him to ER where they ran a slew of tests on him (blood, strep, CT, Spinal Tap, see below). Spinal tap came back with elevated white blood cells, no initial indication of bacterial growth. Patient's neurological condition was deteriorating quickly (unable to speak or walk properly). By 1-2pm he was transferred to hospital, main floor. By 4pm, he was conscious but not responding to stimuli or cues, including me calling his name. He was transferred to the ICU unit for neurological assessment and monitoring. By end of that day, patient was semi conscious. The diagnosis was Encephalitis, but still no infective agent found. Temp that night about 103F. 12/18: Patient woke up showing more conscious signs but still pretty bad mobility, jittery limbs, jittery head and neck, not talking and not making any sounds. Cognitively he was not very responsive except to me (dad) and his mom. HHV-6 positive in his CSF but negative in blood, Drs ruled out HHV-6 as potential infection. MRI performed with sedation and contrast at 5pm, results shows hyperintensities suggestive of brain inflammation in brain stem, deep gray matter, basal ganglia. Patient has another dip in mental state, showing little response, not nodding or responding to parents. Fever that day was mild (less than 101 F). Everyone is very concerned about deteriorating state. 12/19 to 12/20: All antibiotic and antiviral drugs are stopped, further blood tests showed no evidence of any active viral or bacterial infection. We ask for patient to be placed on NG tube for nutrition. Patient starts improving slightly cognitively on 12/20, starts playing some games but only for 5-10 mins. Very lethargic still, unable to stand on legs (tested by PT). PICU staff become less concerned about seizure risk. Patient is moved out of PICU to main floor at end of 12/20. Still, patient has not spoken a word, and is unable to sit himself up, walk nor stand, and is in diapers. Medical staff expecting a very slow recovery lasting months, and thus started referral process to rehab. Temps less than 99F. 12/21 to 12/22: More or less same state as on 12/20. Patient is very irritated, although smiles and interacts more with books and games. Started showing more and more signs of cognition. Patient says one word on 12/21 at night (yes, twice, as response to question). On 12/21, Drs and specialists recommend we try IVIG treatment, which starts on 6pm on 12/22. Drs say that IVIG takes about 3-4 days to show any effect, still predicted that patient would need long term rehab. IVIG administered for 2 days. 12/23: Patient wakes up, starts vocalizing some numbers when playing cards with dad. He later walked assisted with me from bed to bathroom door. Improved cognitive response. By end of day, patient was very cognitively aware. 12/24 and 12/25: An avalanche of recovery: Patient recovered 50 to 60% of his speech, is walking minimally assisted to unassisted on 12/25. Patient ran 10 yards on 12/25. Still tired and fatigued but with improved cognitive response. Started eating purTes and soups. IV removed. Drs calling his recovery 'crazy.' 12/26: Another spike of spontaneous improvement: Patient is walking unassisted, running around hospital. NG tube removed. Patient discharged, does not qualify for in-patient rehab. Official diagnosis is Meningoencephalitis although no infections were found, neurologist thinks this is a post-infective process but, cannot be 100% sure. Neurologist recommended an autoimmune serum test (results negative on 1/2/2019). Patient home with follow-up appointments with neurologist and outpatient rehab in a week. 12/28: Patient's speech is almost back to normal. Walking is very stable, but loses balance every now and then, so he is closely monitored at home. He is very irritable compared to before. He is suffering from sensitivity to light and noise. Cries much more than before. Still not sure if this is chronic or not. Hopefully this goes away with time. Week of 1/1/2019: Patient is back to about 100% his energy, functional and cognitive abilities. Remaining minor sensitivity to noise, light, and irritability, are slowly improving with time.

My confusion seems mostly in the morning. I also lost my vision where I was completely blurry and double vision from approx 6am to 8pm about 2 weeks after the shot. I went to see an Opthalmologist and they said that my eyes were not tracking together and that it may be systematic. So I started with a Neurologist, and he sent me for an MRI of my brain."

"NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING BRAIN" "10029817" "766942-1" "766942-1" ""I was bitten by a bat on July 21, 2018. I was able to capture it and took it to the local Wildlife Center where a form was filled out regarding the animal. Despite info being provided on the intake form regarding the bite, the bat was let go by the local Wildlife Center. It should have been killed and tested for rabies. Because of the condition of the bat was unknown, I had to undergo rabies vaccination (using RABAVERT), which is supposed be a series of the initial rig plus 5 doses, which were administered by the ER at Hospital. The ER failed to read the manufacturers instructions, not once but on 3 subsequent inoculations all of which were administered by different medical staff. In one instance a shot was incorrectly placed in my gluteal muscle which is one of the main areas where you should NOT get the vaccine since there is too much fatty tissue and it can result in the vaccine being rendered ineffective. As a result, I had to start the series over again, and again, there were protocol errors. I have become extremely ill, with fever and chills, blurred vision, slurred speech, burning pain at the injection sites, nausea, narcolepsy, colitis, forgetfulness, and frequent falling due to muscle weakness and dizziness. An infectious disease specialist was called in as well as the CDC and they all decided I just needed more shots, which enhanced my adverse reaction to the vaccine. To date I have been given 15 shots, 2 of which were the initial introduction of weakened rabies virus into my system. My body has no easy way to get rid of the excess vaccine and I have been told I have been overdosed. I have no idea if antibodies have been forming as expected or not because the protocol was not followed. Neither the hospital, the Dept. of Health, nor the CDC have any idea if the shots were effective and no one can guarantee I do not have an active rabies strain in my body, likely due to their incompetence. A titer to test for antibodies should have been done at 14 days, and it was only done this week, almost a month later. I am more sick than I have ever been in my life, I cannot shake this, I have been sleeping most of the time for the past 3 weeks. I have lost 22 lbs. I have no strength and my muscle tone is suffering. In addition, during one visit to the ER, I went hypoxic with my O2 at 80. I called the vaccine manufacturer, Novartis, and they have no idea how to deal with this. There is no protocol to deal with an overdose of this vaccine. Their comment ""we just make it, we don't administer it"". The CDC advised that if I was not deathly ill and hospitalized they wouldn't get involved. There has been confirmed rabies in bats within a 50 mile radius of my home. Do I have rabies? Will I develop rabies at some time in the future? No one seems to know, and none of the medical professionals who treated me seemed to have any idea what they were doing.""

He has been feeling great for 2-3 days after his last cold, so Dr. decided he is well enough to be vaccinated. Maybe this was a poor decision in retrospect, in parents' opinion. 12/15: Patient started feeling lethargic, complained of fatigue, congestion returned again, with minor throat pain. 12/16: Patient woke up tired in the morning, refused his milk and breakfast. He laid on the couch for 4 hours and refused his lunch, saying he is tired and not hungry. He had very mild fever (100 or so). I (dad) took him to urgent care where he was tested for flu (negative) and strep (positive). Discharged with Amoxicillin and 150ml of MOTRIN. Felt better that afternoon, ate 2 full meals, went to bed around 8pm, slept a full night. 12/17: Loss of speech and mobility. Patient woke up super lethargic and tired. When I tried talking to him, his speech was slurred, and his steps were wobbly. Rushed him to ER where they ran a slew of tests on him (blood, strep, CT, Spinal Tap, see below). Spinal tap came back with elevated white blood cells, no initial indication of bacterial growth. Patient's neurological condition was deteriorating quickly (unable to speak or walk properly). By 1-2pm he was transferred to hospital, main floor. By 4pm, he was conscious but not responding to stimuli or cues, including me calling his name. He was transferred to the ICU unit for neurological assessment and monitoring. By end of that day, patient was semi conscious. The diagnosis was Encephalitis, but still no infective agent found. Temp that night about 103F. 12/18: Patient woke up showing more conscious signs but still pretty bad mobility, jittery limbs, jittery head and neck, not talking and not making any sounds. Cognitively he was not very responsive except to me (dad) and his mom. HHV-6 positive in his CSF but negative in blood, Drs ruled out HHV-6 as potential infection. MRI performed with sedation and contrast at 5pm, results shows hyperintensities suggestive of brain inflammation in brain stem, deep gray matter, basal ganglia. Patient has another dip in mental state, showing little response, not nodding or responding to parents. Fever that day was mild (less than 101 F). Everyone is very concerned about deteriorating state. 12/19 to 12/20: All antibiotic and antiviral drugs are stopped, further blood tests showed no evidence of any active viral or bacterial infection. We ask for patient to be placed on NG tube for nutrition. Patient starts improving slightly cognitively on 12/20, starts playing some games but only for 5-10 mins. Very lethargic still, unable to stand on legs (tested by PT). PICU staff become less concerned about seizure risk. Patient is moved out of PICU to main floor at end of 12/20. Still, patient has not spoken a word, and is unable to sit himself up, walk nor stand, and is in diapers. Medical staff expecting a very slow recovery lasting months, and thus started referral process to rehab. Temps less than 99F. 12/21 to 12/22: More or less same state as on 12/20. Patient is very irritated, although smiles and interacts more with books and games. Started showing more and more signs of cognition. Patient says one word on 12/21 at night (yes, twice, as response to question). On 12/21, Drs and specialists recommend we try IVIG treatment, which starts on 6pm on 12/22.

IVIG administered for 2 days. 12/23: Patient wakes up, starts vocalizing some numbers when playing cards with dad. He later walked assisted with me from bed to bathroom door. Improved cognitive response. By end of day, patient was very cognitively aware. 12/24 and 12/25: An avalanche of recovery: Patient recovered 50 to 60% of his speech, is walking minimally assisted to unassisted on 12/25. Patient ran 10 yards on 12/25. Still tired and fatigued but with improved cognitive response. Started eating purTes and soups. IV removed. Drs calling his recovery 'crazy.' 12/26: Another spike of spontaneous improvement: Patient is walking unassisted, running around hospital. NG tube removed. Patient discharged, does not qualify for in-patient rehab. Official diagnosis is Meningoencephalitis although no infections were found, neurologist thinks this is a post-infective process but, cannot be 100% sure. Neurologist recommended an autoimmune serum test (results negative on 1/2/2019). Patient home with follow-up appointments with neurologist and outpatient rehab in a week. 12/28: Patient's speech is almost back to normal. Walking is very stable, but loses balance every now and then, so he is closely monitored at home. He is very irritable compared to before. He is suffering from sensitivity to light and noise. Cries much more than before. Still not sure if this is chronic or not. Hopefully this goes away with time. Week of 1/1/2019: Patient is back to about 100% his energy, functional and cognitive abilities. Remaining minor sensitivity to noise, light, and irritability, are slowly improving with time.

When walking to the neurologist appointment I fell and I could not lift myself up. Two workers had to lift me up and put me in a wheelchair because my leg muscles were too weak to support me. The neurologist recommended that I check into the ER to do more blood tests and be observed. In the ER I had multiple blood tests done and did a spine MRI that was clear. My symptoms also got worse while in the ER. I could not walk without a walker, lift myself out of bed or off the toilet. I spent the night in the ER and was released the next day April 27, 2018. The doctors told me my symptoms were caused by stress and recommended that I see a psychiatrist and scheduled PT to come to my house. From April 27 to the middle of May I could not chew because my jaw muscles were not responding. I could not do basic motor functions like brush my hair because my arms did not respond properly. My leg muscles were still weak so I could not go upstairs or walk without a walker. I also needed to use a commode to be able to get off the toilet. I had PT appointments for 3 weeks once a week. The PT appointments focused on strengthening my muscles. From the end of May until June 19, 2018 my symptoms slowly got better.

All suspect a virus, particularly shingles virus, caused damage since patient suffered serious outbreak in conjunction with this medical emergency, which also precipitated pacemaker surgery. I am 100% deaf in my left ear - permanently, irreversibly. It happened over 2 hours! Hearing has been replaced with constant, loud ringing and buzzing which makes hearing from other ear difficult. I have a constant headache as a result of this and of the vision distortion resulting from delayed vestibular-ocular reflex caused by this event as well. My balance is shaky; walking is affected, and I'm not allowed to drive at this point. In addition to this pain and inconvenience is the frustration of not being able to participate in favorite activities, such as reading, watching TV or movies, walking on beach, dancing, doing water aerobics despite daily vestibular rehabilitation exercises. Patient presented to the office on October 8, 2018. She reported sudden hearing loss, severe vertigo and difficulty with vision since having a recent herpes zoster vaccine. The comprehensive eye examination showed all structures of the eye to be normal and healthy. Extraocular muscles appear to track normally in all directions of gaze. The patient does have nuclear sclerotic cataracts, but this was not a reaction to the vaccine. It is my belief that the zoster vaccine could have caused patient's vestibular-ocular reflex difficulties - vertigo along with occasional double vision.
