On Wed. within 15 of vaccine administration, I felt like something warm was moving under my skin. It reminded me of the contrast solution you received when having a radiological procedure. It proceeded to move up my shoulder to my neck and left side of my face and head. I told my husband what was happening in case I had an anaphylactic response. I woke up the next morning (Thursday) with an extreme headache. It was not relieved by Tylenol, Motrin, Excedrin Migraine, or sleep. The headache continues to this day but has lessened in severity and is helped by Excedrin Migraine. Sunday morning I woke with itchiness and a rash on the left side of my face and jaw. Swollen lymph nodes in my neck with a sore throat. I had stabbing pain in my left ear. On Monday I woke up with oozing pustules, the headache was worsening as was the ear pain. I had jaw pain, mouth sores, and the headache continued along with brain fog. I was extremely tired. On Tuesday I called to make an appointment to see my primary physician. She was not available so I saw her NP, She did an exam and asked questions and called Dr. in to confirm it was shingles in my ear, mouth, and face. I was prescribed Valacyclovir (10 days), Predinose (5 days), and Gabapentin which I used for three weeks. I did have one more office visit on the following friday. I continue to have intermittent ear pain, headaches, brain fog, and fatigue. I will be following up with my physician by the end of April.
