Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 Hi : My son was a month old when he receivd the first Hep B shot and got very sick (Upper Resp Infection, Dbl ear infection) and was on antibiotic for 6 weeks- the cough just wouldn't go away. He was a full term baby weighing almonst 10 Lbs and was perfectly fine. After the first shot he just didn't seem right. Then, while on antibiotic got the second Hep B shot and started having seizures within 36 hours. He was having 200 myoclonic seizures a day and averaging 5 grand mals a month. He also went into status about 4 times. It's been an extrememly up hill battle for him. He is now 6 and seems to be getting better (the myoclonic seizures stopped), but he is still developmentally delayed. He has been receing therapy for speech, ot, pt and ABA since he is a year old. I recently started him on a gluten and casein free diet and he looks wonderful!!!! i would love to sue someone for this damage. I still can't believe that this Dr. gave this the second shot after I insisted that he sholdn't have it because he was sick!!!! I heard about a Dr in texas that has a class action law suit pending for this immunization. I will try to get the info and keep you posted. Good Luck, Pam in NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
