Symptom narrative

Patient received the HPV vaccine at approximately 9:30 AM on October 15. By 1:00 PM, the school contacted me stating she was vomiting and needed to be picked up. She was taken home. On October 16, she was very lethargic and difficult to wake as well as running a fever. At approximately 7:00 AM, when I attempted to wake her, she cried that her neck was hurting severely, so I allowed her to return to sleep. Later that day, she woke up screaming and said she thought she was paralyzed because she could not move her body. After several minutes, she began crying that her entire body hurt severely. She required time before she was able to start moving her arms and legs. Once she was able to get out of bed, her movements were very slow and limited due to the pain. However she pretty remained bedridden until October 18th. Symptoms of pain, fever, difficulty moving, and lethargy persisted and gradually improved, with resolution around October 19.
