OT joint pains in 3 yr.old

May 7, 2001

Sounds *VERY MUCH* like LYME DISEASE. Can be extremely bad for kids, not

much better for adults. Where are you located?

Many Lyme Literate Doctors believe LYME is a contributor to the " autism

explosion " we're seeing. We believe my 5 yr old son had LYME when

vaccinated, causing his reaction.

quote from the public forum. It is from one of the most Lyme literate

pediatric infectious disease doctors. He is from Westchester county in New

York.

" Dr. Cosaro: " I'd like to comment from the point of view of pediatrics.

This is something I do see on a regular basis. If you have latent Lyme disease,

that's Lyme disease unrecognized and you receive the standard immunizations,

your disease can be reactivated instead of quieted......In the rheumatological

literature it is well known that if you have active juvenile rheumatoid

arthritis, you should not receive any of the standard immunizations DPT,

measles, flu shot because these are known to reactivate the arthritis

phase of that disease. The same thing happens in Lyme disease and I've seen

a lot

of patients who we clearly can state that their symptoms started within 2

weeks of receiving the measles, mumps, german measles shots, for instance,

which is

mandatory for 5 year olds in New York before they start kindergarden. I see a

number of children present with arthritis, children whose symptoms began

within two weeks of receiving that immunization. "
