Re: Anyone else have vaccine reactions too?

February 25, 2009

My oldest son () reacted to the HepB. The the night we brought him home

from the hospital (2 days old) he spiked a fever and wouldn't nurse and cried

all night. The next morning we brought him in to the doctor's office. They

tried to get a urine sample, but could only get a drop he was so dehydrated.

They also did a spinal tap on him and re-admitted him to the hospital. It'd

been less than 24 hours since we went home. He spent another 3-4 days (it's a

blur to me) int he hospital with IVs. The pediatrician had to fill-out a

vaccine reaction report for the " unknown viral infection " because of the

time-line from when the HepB was given but he said he didn't think that was the

reason.

Yeah, whatever.

My son never reacted to the other vaccines so obviously.

With my two younger kids we've not given the HepB (hospital/doctor staff is fine

with that once they know the oldest reacted to it.) We are doing the

slower/alertative vaccine schedule Dr. Goldberg recommends with them and they

are doing fine.

Reality lies beyond the horizon... Wonderwegian

Anyone else have vaccine reactions too?

Reading this about that encephalomyelitis made me

wonder about other people in the group...did anyone

else have their children have severe reactions to

vaccinations? Day 1 after the Hep B she had hives all

over her body. Then my daughter had a fever of 104+

about 8 hours after each round of vaccinations. She

would just lay in my arms lifelessly. Finally we

stopped them at 6 months because it scared me too

much! I figured we could restart them when she was

older.

Just curious.

My oldest reacted to the MMR - 2 wks later he had no more eye contact (for a

while) and stopped responding to his name. He already had symptoms before that,

but it was then that I first said Oh my god what haave I done? I had read of

the MMR controversy at the appt for his shot. Two weeks is the point when

cellular immunity kicks in.

Both boys developed mucousy diahrea 2 wks after each DTaP. I didn't make the

connection until the 5th time (between 2 kids). I developed severe

IBS after a tetnus shot. My husband had his first onset of ulcerative colitis a

couple weeks after a tetanus booster, and my MIL was in the hospital a month

after a tetanus booster w/her worst bout of ulcerative colitis ever. They

wanted to remove her colon. I said no. I said her shot triggered it. She is

in remission now, w/her colon.

My second son reacted to the DTAP w/6 hrs of indescribable screaming, and after

I realized he had also been having seizures - but I couldn't imagine putting him

in the car to take him to the ER, and the pediatrician said sometimes this

happens, we'll just do the DT next time. With the next DT, he screamed 8 hrs

even worse, clearly in horrible pain. I swore off the rest for a while, begged

for waiver. Finally, in 'good faith' I got him the polio thinking it was a mild

one, and he started losing gross motor skills almost immediately, going from a

sturdy gait to tipping over to the left and falling down.

No more vaccines ever for him, even when Dr G said it would now be ok for the

MMR. I just couldn't.

Big brother was ASD, had all of his scheduled vaccines except the 5 yr MMR

booster, and has mostly recovered on the protocol, is much brighter right now

than little brother. #2 typically developed until a year off the protocol, and

then developed CFIDS and 5 yr old onset of asperger like symptoms.

He didn't have all of the vaccines, started the protocol much sooner than his

brother (at 18 months, before he could regress), didn't have any asd symptoms

until age 5 after being off meds a year.

Dr G had always said he was lucky - his labs were worse than his big brother's.

His brother responded best to the protocol w/HHV6 coming out of hiding, but

's never did, and he got sick again.

He didn't get nearly as many vaccines, but he is a lot sicker. He looks it

too. Garrrett looks healthy w/shiny hair and bright eyes, while has eye

circles, is pale, and his hair is dry and dull. It is a stark comparison right

now.

Fortunately, I've seen them both get well before, so I'm not completely losing

my mind as badly this time around.

Oh - most importantly... Garrett got better after his MMR, and I forgot about

it for a while. Then he got the flu, and his reaction to it was what

completely pushed him over the edge and that was when I finally understood that

he had autism. That virus was a lot worse on him than the MMR vaccine was,

although being only months apart couldn't have helped either. I wonder if I had

gottten the flu shot for him that year, if he would kept getting better like he
