Every time the doctor would go over the possible side effects and adverse reactions that could happen. Once when I did have a bad reaction I called my doctor who told me to go to the ER and he would meet me there. After several hours of treatment I was fine but was told to never have that type of vaccine again. They very calmly and professionally dealt with my problem. No one tried to tell me that it was all in my head or that it might be something else.

You are very fortunate. I have allergic issues that my new allergy doctors are completely unwilling to address, and I have gotten the “psychological issues” line from them. My reactions are delayed food reactions, which is a real thing but they just seem to want to deal with classic IgE immediate response issues.

Never heard it from my old doctors in NY and still am trying to figure out how itching, swelling, and Benadryl helping some, etc is not allergic. The most frustrating thing is the doctors unwillingness to take any proactive action to find out just what it is if it’s not allergic, like they say.

Sounds like you need new new doctors.

Although once they tag you with the dreaded "non-compliant" label it can be tough to find one that will listen to you.

But keep trying until you find someone who will listen to you.

I am on my fourth doctor. My last one was not inclined to listen to me so I was seriously considering giving him the boot anyway when his office announced that they would no longer take my insurance and solved the dilemma for me.
