My son got a Pandemrix shot in November last year, he worked as an ambulance driver. A few days later he said that his neck was hurting, but we thought he had just twisted his back. Then he got a bad headache and we gave him Ibuprofen which did not help much, either. The doctor prescribed the same thing. In December he also started getting fever and they said he had come down with the flu. The neck pain got worse and worse. New Year’s Eve he came over to visit and was sweating profusely. He was not doing well at all. On January 1 he went to se a doctor and again they said it was the flu. On January 4 we received a call from his girlfriend ( he had had high fever for days at that point) and so I drove over and she told me that he was having a hard time recognizing people. So I called the hospital and when the ambulance arrived I asked i fit could be meningitis and I insisted that they take him to the hospital, where they did a CT. They didn’t find anything, the pain persisted. On February 8 my son came to see me after his night shift. He was pale and he threw up. I took him to see a doctor who said that it was probably a bad case of migraine and that he should see an orthpedic specialist, which he did; he collapsed in the waiting room. Then they took him to the hospital again and did another CT, then they took him to the Asklepios Clinic in ambulance, although he was not accompanied by a doctor. He was not given an infusion, even though he had fallen into a coma and was having episodes. When he arrived there they punctured his spine and said that he had a case of meningitis, although they could not say which virus it was. When we were allowed to see him he had terrible cramps and when we asked the doctor if it could have anything to do with the Pandemrix vaccination the doctor looked at us with a shocked look on his face and emphatically said NO. He was given antibiotics and was put into an artificial coma. That night the healthy part of his brain also swelled up to twice the size and he could no longer be saved. That afternoon they said he was brain dead. They sent him to Göttingen for the autopsy. When I called two weeks later because I had not heard from them, they said that only doctors would be able to discuss it and when I ask other doctors they tell me to be patient. I hope that it will be possible to help other people and that in the future they will react differently.

I already described the reactions right after the vaccination, tickly feeling and sudden pain along my nerves. I could not place the symptoms.
I had the symptoms for a couple of weeks (mainly along the shins, lower arms and the whole side of my body, frequently on just one side After having the flu in January there was burning pain which, coupled with the cribbling feeling, are relentless. I saw a neurologist and he said that he thought it was polyneuropathies, NLG slow, EMG unusual. Somehow he seemed to have problems using his equipment or he was unable to interpret the result correctly. The blood test remained negative. Standard, Bor. And B12. When I said that I thought it could have to do with the vaccination he checked it on google. My conclusion: He did not take me seriously and said that I had an anxiety disorder. I will be seeing a second neurologist in five weeks. And my fears were confirmed: the neurologist did not take me seriously when I said I thought it had to do with the vaccination. Of course it could be a coincidence that the problems started at the same time. But now I will have to wait for other appointments.

Right after the vaccination I had terrible headaches (approx. 2 hours later), then I had two weeks of pain in my right arm, early January I suddenly felt like I was going to lose my mind. I was afraid and had panic attacks, accompanied by weird cribbling in my arms and legs. I feel like I am undergoing burn-out, have no resilience and am exhausted all the time. My naturopath thinks it is burnouout syndrome and thinks I has to do with the vaccination. After 7 weeks of torture I still do not feel better. I’m afraid I am going to die. I am never again going to go along with the vaccination hysteria.

We have a baby that is a few weeks old and two children of school age (6, 15) at home. In order to give the baby “cocoon protection” my husband and I and the oldest child had vaccinations. As I am a vaccination consultant, I was hesitant to have the middle child vaccinated. My husband had slight influenza-like symptoms after the vaccination which disappeared slightly thereafter. My son did not have any side-effects at all.
After two days severe pain started in my left arm (the arm that had been vaccinated), presumably along the nerve tract. I had a lot of pain in my elbow, the hand and the finger joint. However, after I took one paracetamol tablet, the pain disappeared.
About seven weeks have passed since the vaccination. Repeatedly I had the symptoms I described above. Once I felt like I had a tennis elbow and it is what arthritis probably feels like. Presently I have continuous sharp pain which seem to spread around the left shoulder (as if a nerve was pinched and which is spreading to the left elbow and wrist. The soft tissue in my upper arm and the left breast hurt now, too. Paracetamol brings momentary relief, but it is not a long-term solution. I have not consulted a doctor yet.

Hi there, my husband, my four-year-old daughter and I received a swine flue vaccination on November 5. My doctor told me that the vaccination was for everyone and we believed him. At the time there weren’t any forums yet where you could get information and there weren’t any tv reports either of people who had died from the vaccinations. My daughter suffers from Neurodermitis, I have circulatory disorders. How imprudent one’s actions are sometimes!!! Our doctor, Dr. D. in D. did not even ask if we had any prior diseases. Well, and now we have had our vaccinations. The same day my husband was vaccinated against the normal influenza so that he would be protected better. My daughter and I had gotten the influenza vaccination a couple weeks earlier. The same day my husband felt terrible. In the night he could not sleep, was shivering and had a slight fever, in other words, the mild variation. My daughter had a low temperature, 35 degrees C. and couldn’t sleep. I had no side-effects. Naturally we all had pain around the injection site. With me the pain did not start until two weeks later. The side effects of shivering-nausea-back pain-trembling and numbness on feet and arms-labored breathing-swollen stomach and constipation. I was given medication for each of the symptoms. They took blood. According to my doctor everything is fine. My daughter’s side effects were different: nightmares-listlessness-cramps.

Early November I was vaccinated against the swine flu because I am in contact with a lot of people for professional reasons.
Since then I have been having continuous health issues: the joints in my arms and legs get hot when I move them, like hot needles (cannot describe it differently) and I am in pain sometimes.
I also feel cribbling in the left side of my body, especially when I am in bed and it also happens that the left arm and the legs fall asleep suddenly.
My blood work is fine and an antibiotic treatment due to an assumed infection did not improve things.
Examinations as per rheumatism and Borreliosis were negative.
Before the vaccination I did not have problems like this.

Several pre-existing conditions, VSD, lack of iron syndrome. After vaccination the next day pains in the arm, otherwise no other symptoms.
In the morning I only noticed little spots on her eye-lids, the origin of which were not clear to me.
We knew that she had a limited span to live and that ultimately HL transplantation would become necessary, but at the time her condition was too good to be put on the lists. She had not had fainting spells yet.
Suddenly on the afternoon of 2.12.2009 she collapsed at school.
She was admitted to the hospital and we arrived shortly thereafter, but the machines had already been switched off.

Actually I was of the opinion that I tolerated the vaccination really well (10.11.09) I only had a slight headache for two days.
As MS-patient I am part of the risk group and since there were recommendations everywhere to get the vaccination …well, I thought to myself I’d better err on the safe side...
If I had known what I was getting myself into …
Approx. 3 weeks later I had the feeling that something was not right.
I thought it had to do with the handicraft work I was involved in.
And then one morning I felt strange and I was so cold.
Numb, without feeling from the chest downwards … My chest felt like it was strapped into a very tight corset … I felt sick to my stomach and like I was blown up like a balloon. My hand and fingers are number and some of them are completely cramped. I cannot feel my left foot and I only feel the right one minimally. My insides (intestines and bladder) did not work for days … now that is okay again, but only after I had suffered through stomach cramps for days. I can hardly walk and I cannot take care of my household. Thinking, talking and movements are really bad, too.
After I went to see my family doctor it was clear that it had been a huge MS episode and the doc said it had to have to do with the vaccination. The next day I went to see my neurologist who was completely dismayed at seeing me in THIS kind of condition. He was also convinced that it was the vaccination. And so he reported it to the pharmaceutical company. I failed all of the tests, which has never been the case so far. So for 3 days I got 800mg cortisone because no way did I want to go to the hospital to have infusions. I still don’t feel better after the cortisone treatment. And so I have to wait and see what kinds of treatment possibilities my neurologist has. I think the treatment that I will have will be either very painful or very unpleasant. Until the point in time when I had the MASSIVE episode I was actually doing quite well.
But I have never experienced anything like this. If my current problems and handicaps ever disappear again, and that can take years, I will never have a vaccination again, I am absolutely sure of that.

The following night I had terrible pain in the arm where I had the injection, and then I had flu-like symptoms and due to the fact that I could not call in sick and my immune system was so weak I got a big fat cold. And then a bladder infection. What I noticed was the stinging pain along the nerves in my arms. I have never had anything like it!
Two weeks later I was okay again. But what is apparent is that at various places (legs, arm, back) I feel a kind of tingling as if I was getting goose bumps … I cannot describe it any better. At night my fingers or my arms fall asleep and even my legs … I have never experienced in this kind of intensity. I have not gone to see the doctor because I was worried they would think I have flipped my lid and what are they supposed to test? And furthermore I am ashamed I was so stupid to have this vaccination in the first place …

During the night from 03.11.09 to 04.11.09 I came down with a lot of pain in the vaccination arm and I could not move the arm any longer. It was like paralyzed. On 16.11.09 paralysis of the arm goes back. The unbearable sharp pain has not gone away. Today is the 11.12.09 and on 14.12.09 I will be operated on my shoulder. The MRT x-rays were clear. So how is going to go on? I sure hope I will be getting back my quality of life |

Immediately following the vaccination (5.11.09) he came down with diarrhea and vomiting and these symptoms lasted a week, afterwards his stomach was hard and swollen, something he is still suffering from. He also has water in his face and in his legs. His nose bleeds for hours. Presently he is being treated with lymph node drainage. And he has a really bad cough, too.

We decided to have the vaccination due to standard recommendations for chronically ill patients to have this done. Already during the vaccination the site of injection on his left arm swelled up to a tennis ball sized lump. What followed was a feeling of heat which crawled down his arm and the feeling of bronchial spasms. The vegetative anxiety symptoms (dizziness, impaired vision, panic, fear of dying) seemed to get 100 times stronger. Home at all cost, where I had the chills and saw circles on the ceiling and felt like the world was surreal. The following days substandard temperature and the feeling of being sick, inability to rest and strong shakiness, including hyperventilation. The thought was that I was going to die. Furthermore pressure headache and burning eyes, tremors and low temperature (37.4).I went to see the doctor who said „you seem to be sort of allergic to the vaccination“, when I went again he prescribed Fenistil. Blood work done a few days later showed elevated creatinin values. Not better, back to the family doctor who said I probably had an infection prior to the vaccination and prescribed sedatives. ...All these years I have taken all sorts of medications and due to influenza A years ago I am vaccinated against the flu every year without any problems. Pandemrix however was sheer hell!

I was vaccinated the evening of 02.11, a little prick and then it was over. That night restless. Went to work the next morning and then it started. Really dizzy and circulatory problems. My boss sent me home. I had fever and chills and headache. Could hardly get out of bed. Next day I felt better. The next days I kept having pain in my muscles and in my joints. Slept badly for weeks. One week later I still had cribbling in my arms and legs and weird pricks (or something like that) along my back. I kept being dizzy. I was afraid I was going to collapse. My doctor told me to stay home from work and said that vaccinations are dangerous and that I should go see the doctor who vaccinated me. When I did that they first did not want to even see me. The vaccination was 9 days ago and they having nothing at all to do with it. Supposedly it was impossible to experience adverse effects three days after you have been vaccinated. I stayed in bed two more days and was afraid. And when it still hadn’t gotten better I went and saw the third doctor. He took me seriously and checked my blood and wanted to report the vaccine damage. But by then I was feeling better again. Luckily. If I had known that before I would never have had the vaccination. Unfortunately the adverse effects and the long-term effects were not discussed until after 2.11. I have never been sensitive to medication or vaccinations, I am only 26, and have a chronic lung disease which has not broken out yet (the reason why I was vaccinated).

Shortly after the vaccination I felt really good, as if someone had given me an upper. But at this point in time I didn’t realize yet what was to come.
6 hours later I had headaches off and on which have lasted until today, 5 days later. They are not non-stop, but only of short duration but the duration and strength of the headaches have increased so that I have now had to take my second headache tablet.
9 hours after the vaccination I broke out in a cold sweat. I felt like I had a fever but my temperature was normal. The symptoms stopped after 2 hours but in the meantime I had a kind of numbness in the fingers of the vaccination arm.
2 days after the vaccination the fatigue started as if I had fallen ill, plus the headaches which had still not stopped. Additionally there was nausea accompanied by diarrhea. The third night I woke up at night the pain was so bad in the arm I had had the vaccination in, it felt like I had dislocated it in my sleep. The whole arm was cramped and it all hurt.
Now on the 5th day I still have the headache and my eyes burn. I feel like I aged 10 years in the last 5 days.
PS My wife was vaccinated, too, but she did not have as many symptoms as I did. She had headache and joint pain which did not start until after the vaccination.
We both regret having had the vaccination. I think it is a mass test or maybe even a vaccination so we do not reach pension age!

On the evening of the day of the vaccination fatigue, malaise, elevated temperature. One week later (hardly was among people):
Since Tuesday evening 16. 11.: fever (my normal temperature is 35.3 , at this time around 37 degrees, extremely sick feeling, tiredness, headache,
Wednesday: 17.11: Fever, depressed, malaise, headache, kidney pain!!
Thursday: temperature, headache
When I called the vaccine hotline they said I should go to the place where I was vaccination. The place where I was vaccinated said that I should ask my family doctor. They did not give me further information. I don’t really think that they reported this damage.

On 12.11.09 we ( F., M. and S.) were vaccinated against swine flu at the pediatrician’s office, Dr. Tiedke/ Stern
The same evening until today, Monday 16.11.09 Florian had very high fever (on Sunday even 40.2) lack of appetite, the arm was swollen; he had a stomach ache, diarrhea and headache. I am still fine except that I seem to have the chills today. I have been unable to reach the pediatrician. But I left a message on his answering machine. Because of what friends have said to me I am very afraid that we are not going to survive this. I have heard that carcinogenic substances are in the vaccination and that one can become very, very ill after receiving them.
Unfortunately nobody can say how it will be a few weeks, months or years from now. But I have also heard that there is a counter substance for this vaccine. I am feeling very insecure due to what I am hearing in the media and I only want the best for my children.
