Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi Fiona, I've had all the ones you mentioned, plus a few others. Never had any complications or concerns or 'after effects' related to CMT. The only innoculation I had a mild reaction to was Typhoid - at the site of the innoculation, my arm became very red, tender, and itched for 3 days. My Dr. said sometimes this happens. Don't take any chances with your health. Get everything you need. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi Fiona, My son has CMT and he had a reaction to his first diptheria vaccine when he was an infant. After that, the diptheria part wasn't given to him. He had no reaction to any other vaccines. Carmella CMT and Innoculations Hello All, My partner may be posted to UAE later this year and if so we go as a " package " deal - together. What I was wondering was if anyone has had adverse reactions to the suggested innoculations for the middle East - ie tetanus; poliomyelitis; hepatitis A. diphtheria; tuberculosis; hepatitis B; typhoid. I know that all of us have so many reactions to all sorts of things but I wondered if there any core reactions. I haven't had any innoculations that I can remmeber since I was a child and since the reactions I had then were severe (ataxia, muscle weakness etc) I'm really, really wary of taking any of these if I don't have to. To date I've taken my chances with things like tetanus and gotten away with it. Obviously I'll ask my GP (and neurologist if I can get an appointmeent anytime soon, preferably this year) but personal experience is always good to hear. Thanks for any help:-) Fiona in Glasgow, Scotland <!-- #ygrp-mlmsg {font-size:13px;font-family:arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg table {font-size:inherit;font:100%;} #ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea {font:99% arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg pre, code {font:115% monospace;} #ygrp-mlmsg * {line-height:1.22em;} #ygrp-text{ font-family:Georgia; } #ygrp-text p{ margin:0 0 1em 0;} #ygrp-tpmsgs{ font-family:Arial; clear:both;} #ygrp-vitnav{ padding-top:10px;font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;margin:0;} #ygrp-vitnav a{ padding:0 1px;} #ygrp-actbar{ clear:both;margin:25px 0;white-space:nowrap;color:#666;text-align:right;} #ygrp-actbar .left{ float:left;white-space:nowrap;} .bld{font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-grft{ font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;padding:15px 0;} #ygrp-ft{ font-family:verdana;font-size:77%;border-top:1px solid #666; padding:5px 0; } #ygrp-mlmsg #logo{ padding-bottom:10px;} #ygrp-vital{ background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:2px 0 8px 8px;} #ygrp-vital #vithd{ font-size:77%;font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold;color:#333;text-transform:upp\ ercase;} #ygrp-vital ul{ padding:0;margin:2px 0;} #ygrp-vital ul li{ list-style-type:none;clear:both;border:1px solid #e0ecee; } #ygrp-vital ul li ..ct{ font-weight:bold;color:#ff7900;float:right;width:2em;text-align:right;padding-ri\ ght:.5em;} #ygrp-vital ul li .cat{ font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-vital a { text-decoration:none;} #ygrp-vital a:hover{ text-decoration:underline;} #ygrp-sponsor #hd{ color:#999;font-size:77%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov{ padding:6px 13px;background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov ul{ padding:0 0 0 8px;margin:0;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov li{ list-style-type:square;padding:6px 0;font-size:77%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov li a{ text-decoration:none;font-size:130%;} #ygrp-sponsor #nc { background-color:#eee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:0 8px;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad{ padding:8px 0;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad #hd1{ font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;color:#628c2a;font-size:100%;line-height:122%\ ;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad a{ text-decoration:none;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad a:hover{ text-decoration:underline;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad p{ margin:0;} o {font-size:0;} ..MsoNormal { margin:0 0 0 0;} #ygrp-text tt{ font-size:120%;} blockquote{margin:0 0 0 4px;} .replbq {margin:4;} --> ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I spent a good amount of time in Dubai in 2004-2005 and had no adverse reactions to any of the inoculations mentioned. I do not yet know which CMT " type " I am, so I suppose each could have different possible reactions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 My CMT kids actually got worse after the DPT. I have only had 1 Doctor tell me the old DPT shot was a toxin. She assured me that the new DPT is NOT a neuro toxin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
