Hi

It's good the practice nurse is being accomodating at the moment.

That should reasure you that investigation isn't anything but a

resonsible approach, whatever the conclusions.

For myself, if i felt comfortable with any particular vaccine then i

wouldve accepted them for my baby. You might feel more comfortable

with one than another and deciding which you want and dont want or

even at what age is again a responsible thing for health, after all,

each country has a different immunisation schedule and list, they

can't all be right.

I'd say take some time off, even a few days and come back to it,

then do so in smaller parts. Write out the immunisation schedule

then look at each one in turn from the one you feel most severe

first and work through them that way - logically.

I guess decisions come down to the individual and everyone pretty

much makes a slightly different decision, thats why noone can make

it for you. You get to a point hwen you think yes or no to a thing

and then somewhat the decisions made. You can have a vaccine later

on, but otoh you cant take it out once it's in.

Non vaxing or singles or delayed vaxing isn't a modern thing,

vaccine schedules have multiplied in recent years, ourselves and our

parents had different ones, and health/lifestyle was different in

the past contributing.

I would say as vaccination doesnt stop you getting a disease, vaxing

doesnt stop the possibility of getting something " horrific " anyway.

So thats the horrific somewhat out of the equation, they may get

something horrific either way, what can you do. So i wouldnt kick

myself if they did from being unvaxed. And anyway, the horrific

thing, vaxed or unvaxed is a small reality. Damage to a growing

child from a vaccine or vaccine reaction to my mind is a larger

risk. Everyone had mumps and such when i was young, i had whooping

cough, rubella, mumps etc and my dh measles, noone really was

bothered about it and nothing happened. My daughters unvaxed and

she's not yet caught anything to have a good or bad outcome.

Look at the official data for disease rates for Sweden, it'll be a

governmental site online? what exactly are disease and notably death

rates there? are they even a cause for concern. As you know,

europe and 99% of the world is now polio free according to the world

health org.

I think peer pressure and official pressure can shake you and make

you question things, but that doesnt necessarily mean you are doing

the wrong thing.

Just plow through the reading/experiences, and eveentually some

onclusions will hit you. Think of the points you're concerned about

and tackle them head on like a researcher to get your aswers. With

your answers then the decision is made for you.

hmmm...yes, I forgot the medical stuff.

Jasmine has been very lucky in that area. She has had no heart problems, no

other serious medical problems, that we have become aware of.

She has had 4 sets of ear tubes, and recently had her tonsils and adnoids

removed because of sleep apnea, an apparently long overdue operation. We were

not aware that this was the problem, thought it was allergies. But when she

was under for dental work, the anesthesiologist found there was an unusual

amount of tissue in her throat. So after specialists, and all the sleep

studies,and the c-pap study(a real joke) she had the surgery to remove all that

and

now you can stand right over her in bed and not hardly hear her sleep! Very

strange!

I guess that's all, very healthy! Thank God! She has the usual

puberty/teenage girlly problems, but hey, we all have that don't we?

By the way, I am 49 years old, and Steve is 54. It's an interesting life!
