side effects of hepatitis b vaccine.
I recently received the first Hepatitis B vaccine in a series of three. Two hours after my shot I could not move my neck. Two days later still having neck pain and the pain was in my shoulders. 4 days after that the pain had moved to yet another spot in my lower back. 3 days after that my knee was inflamed with fluid and aching. I have been to the doctors many times in the last 6 weeks and no one seems to know what is going on with my body. Has anyone out there had any similar instances to this. I have had countless tests, i.e. lyme disease testing etc. and still no answers. Could a vaccine be bad and set off symtoms like these, or are these side effects from this vaccine? I also understand that hepatitis b vaccine can mask symtoms of ms and arthritis. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hi.maka memory loss ba itong hepa b?kasi may mga araw tulala ako lage.din wala akong iniisip.
i got my first hep b shot on aug,21,2012 two days after i started having severe pain in my right arm i couldn't lift my arm at all and it hurt so bad i'm still having pain in it i can't get comfortable when i lay down because i have to position my arm a certain way so i can get a little relief which isn't very much. i dont think i'm going to take the second and third shot because im scared of what may happen. my advice to any one is dont take this vaccine because evidently the doctors dont know about this bad side effect i hope my story help some one else.tee
On August 25, 2010, I had my 3rd and final Hep A&B Series Shot (Twinrix), despite the fact that I brought my blood work to the Health Department representative showing that my body was showing immunity.
The representative told me that I still needed the 3rd shot because there was no guarantee that the immunity would 'stick'. Against my better judgment, I had the 3rd and final shot. In the first 48 hours I developed a tickle in my throat and has trouble swallowing. Now I have a sore throat and severe tinnitus. There were other issues too including heart palpitations, vertigo, visual disturbances and joint pain.
I could probably deal with all the side effects except for the Tinnitus which is greatly affecting my studying, sleeping, and overall well being. I am an A student with a scholarship, who is having trouble retaining my readings due to the severe ringing in my ears. I attended my first clinical last Friday having only slept 1 hour!
Fortunately, I have a good support system in place, and I am planning on going to an ENT physician this week to see if there is anything that can be done to alleviate my symptoms.
At first I thought that my symptoms would only last a few days, but now I see that they have been with me for over 1 week, and I am now concerned that some of the symptoms are permanent. If I find that my tinnitus is permanent, I do intend to sue the manufacturer of the Twinrix vaccine. Had anyone disclosed these side effects to me initially, I would not have gone ahead with the 3rd shot after having blood work showing my immunity. I am angry, anxious and extremely depressed by this experience.
The health department comes to our school and just gives the shots without ANY disclosure of side effects whatsoever. Furthermore, when I called CDC to report my side effects, all they could tell me was that my side effects were not showing up in their databank, and that any serious side effect would have shown up in the 1st 5 minutes to 24 hours. They were not experts in their field, just parrots, that read what I had already found on the CDC website.

If seems as if it is possible for someone to get the Hep A/B vaccine and not develop antibodies ? I've had the twinrx injection for Hep A/B twice. I did 3 hep b shots altogether, and one a. The third hep b shot in the series was done almost a year and a half after the first one. I'm wondering if I was properly vaccinated ? Whats the test to see if the hep a/b vaccine worked ?
the day after my hep b shot i started with neck pain and by the second day i could hardly turn my head. the pain then moved into my shoulders and mid back. i am never sick or have pain and when i do i can tolorate a lot so this pain was really getting me down. by the time i was ready to have the second shot the pain had subsided a little by using heating pad and taking antiinflamatories. the day after the second shot i was in such pain i could hardly get out of bed and when i did, i layed around for two days trying to cope. by the fourth day after the second shot i started thinking about what could be causing my neck, shoulder and back pain. i knew i never lifted or strained anything so i started going back in time five weeks earlier trying to see what i did differently. the only thing i coul come up with was the hep shot. i asked the lab staff around work if anything like this had happened to them and it had not so i didnt think it could be the shot unitl i looked here for side effects of the hep b shot. wow,, i'm not crazy. others did get this terrible pain in the neck. i am not very happy with my Dr,,he definately thinks it is not related to the shot. i know better, i know my body and i know it started witht the shot. i will need the third shot right after the new year and i am terrified about taking it. i cant get rid of the neck pain now so how long will the pain last after i get the third shot? so the real question is?????will any Dr admit that the shot caused these pains???and will the pain ever go away?????
I had my first hep b vaccine about a month ago and a few hrs later i was feeling ill & had a rash with blisters all over my body, when i went to see the nurse who had given me the jag she said it was not the vaccine, now ive just had the second shot off the vaccine and i have no rash but im feeling ill with flu like symptoms and really sore legs, i was healthy before each vaccine, now im going to have to phone in sick because im so tiered and my legs and back really ache along with feeling like ive got the flu. Has anyone else felt like this after their vaccine?

I’ve got my first shot 5 days ago,I was fine until yesterday when I felt nausea, dizziness,chills. I thought it’s maybe just a coincidence,but I couldn’t sleep all night, I felt my legs and lower back are aching and I have a rush all over my chest ,stomach and neck. Can you tell me for how long did you have the symptoms?
