myrose Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I went and read the article judy noted in her post. Something about the symptoms of SYDENHAM CHOREA really stuck with me, especially so in my daughters case. I went to this article: http://www.emedicine.com/neuro/TOPIC644.HT...~CausesofChorea And then looked through the causes of it. Scroll down to the causes and stop at the IMMUNE/INFECTIOUS Listed under there is Pertussis and diphtheria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are the exact shots my daughter (and everyone else's children) have received. Am I understanding this correctly??????? I cannot breathe Does anyone understand what I am getting at???? Please respond asap so that i know I am not CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 But I think they are referring to the actual fullblown infections, not the vaccines. Why do you think your daughter has chorea? Did she ever have r. fever? I think (but not totally sure) that s. chorea involves more than just movements. Faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Now Jas, dear, you really must not believe everything that you read on the internet. Of course none of these things have anything to do with anything. It's just a tic. And for the rare, rare, rare, person that has a reaction, well just think of how many others will live on. They are thinking that genetic screening may help to determine what drug will be effective or safer for which patient, but why even bother with this line of thinking where vaccines are concerned? Everyone has to have ALL of them. The more they can fit in one vial in one day the better. You don't want kids to get stuck too many times, and all of that lost work time for Mom's, could hurt the economy. No, it's much better to mix them all together. In fact some may have gotten the newer MMR with the varicella mixed right in! Gee, my babies had to get stuck with two separate shots for that, although my youngest did get them both in the same day, so at least I didn't have to make two trips. I think I read where they had something like 4 children from the same Peds office (involved in the clinical trial for that shot) develope autism, but really, what's four children? You could not prove that it was tied to the vaccine, so what's the worry? Was probably a coincidence. You know kids pick up viruses all the time in the office when they go to get their shots. It doesn't really matter if there are autoimmune issues galore in the family either! All the more reason to keep up on your shots! Recent antibiotic use, a little fever, sniffles, eating, sleeping, peeing, hyper, orange from head to toe, sweet cravings, none of it means anything. Gotta keep these kids healthy. They did change the DTP to the Dtap to make this already safe safe safe shot even safer. Who could fault them for a little brain problem with the old shot. Look at the coughs that were avoided. Now just because these (the ones listed, that jump right out at me) are issues that DAN! Dr. focus on, does not mean that other REAL Dr.s should consider them. It's just a tic! I'm really happy to see that the article you posted didn't mention the rediculous notion that mercury injections may have increased your risks of tics. I think the CDC said something about further research for that problem (it's probably nothing). I know if they think there is anything to that, they'll get right on it, and compensate the children that had genes that made them prone to problems excreting it. Yea, I'm sure they'll be on that any day now. *note......I am well aware that pertussis can be a serious issue for some infants, especially those under 1 year of age.

judy1270 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I went and read the article Judy noted in her post.Something about the symptoms of SYDENHAM CHOREA really stuck with me, especially so in my daughters case.

Please respond asap so that i know I am not CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! Jasminky, Calm down this Article was to give more Info into the cause and Treatments on children with involuntary movements. Not to scare you or worry you. All cases are different and all children are different But the more informatinon we have the better off we are, we can ask our Doctors about the vaccines, and we have the right to know what is in them. I by no means ment to scare you but the information is out there we just have to look for it. I am sorry if I have worried you in any way.

kim Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Judy, I still have a hard time breathing when I look at vaccine issues. It's really had to be stripped of the comfort of thinking that everything that's done is throughly tested and is right for our kids. Personally, I think the wild form of some of these illnesses can trigger problems for some of our kids too. We have seen children who have had an injury or another illness develope problems shortly after too. If we have a genetic propensity for an illness to cause neuro problems though, what is the wisdom in giving our babies with immature (still developing brains) nervous systems all of these shots? I know where Jasminsky is coming from (if you didn't get that impression from my other response ). Thanks for sharing your experience here Judy. You are an amazing Grandma!

Please respond asap so that i know I am not CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! DEar Jasminky I am new to this site. My son is 10, and since getting strep in september is a different kid. he is finally on ivig which helps somewhat so far.. he's only gotten 2 treatments.. so when he does get strep his symptoms are milder and shorter. eventually, the ivig treatments should prevent the immune response to the strep, and i've also considered tonsillectomy. but it does seem that you cant predict how a kid's immune system will respond to ANY antigen - vaccine, a virus, a food, etc.. so the key is to modulate the immune system. i'm still just learning myself, since my son has missed school and has not yet returned to his previous level of function.
