Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Oh I am SOOO sorry for your loss. I certainly will keep your story as a reminder, a BIG one! Wow that is just awful. Thank you so much for sharing though, it is a big influence in the right direction for me. ) Lucas, mom to Gavin ~ 07.09.05 ~ 4 Months Old ~ UNIQUE BABY STORE ~ I Sell Baby/Kids Clothing and Natural Parenting Advocacy Clothing! http://www.cafepress.com/uniquebabystore ~ Family Website & Gavin's Pictures ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com ~ Featuring Custom Pencil Drawings of People & Pets ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com/drawings.shtml Feeling Overwhelmed and Paniced > Hi everyone... I have been on this list a LONG time, since before I even got pregnant. I first came on for my Great Dane, Vega, to learn more about the vax, and boy did I learn a lot. Then I went on digest for a while, now I'm back to each email the past few weeks. > > So fast forward... I have a 4 month old son now. He has never been vaxxed. My hubby and I have been doing the research and we have talked to our pediatrician about vaxxing. She is OK with delayed or no vax, but still encouraged us to get them, on our schedule. So we made an appointment, and were going to get them one at a time. That appointment is tomorrow. Well today I just couldn't take the pressure. I just have a really bad gut feeling, and I called and cancelled the appointment. > > I did a ton of more research today, and DH & I agree that we don't want to vax him at this time (if ever). He is at home with me all day, vary rarely has close visitors (like grandparents, friends, who are in his face), but we do go out a lot to lunch or the mall or target or whatever. So he is in crowds some but not up close. He is exclusively breastfed. So I think he is in the lower risk category for catching the disease (oh we are in ville, FL if that matters). > > So here is my problem. I am just sick thinking about giving him vaccines, just sick, and I don't want to do it, period. BUT when I think of him NOT having the vaccines, even though I know the bad stuff about them, I just get this awful panic that goes throughout me and I can't stop it. I get all crazy and upset about it and then think oh I need to take him in right away, then I come to my senses, and go back to not wanting him to be vaxxed. > > What is wrong with me? Do any of you guys have this feeling? I am a worry wart anyway so maybe that is part of it. But I feel like I'm damned if I do damned if I don't! And I feel GUILTY for NOT getting them. How do you all deal with this if you feel this way? How can I NOT feel this way? I want to be confident in my decision. > > ) Lucas, mom to Gavin ~ 07.09.05 ~ 4 Months Old > > ~ UNIQUE BABY STORE ~ I Sell Baby/Kids Clothing and Natural Parenting Advocacy Clothing! > http://www.cafepress.com/uniquebabystore > > > ~ Family Website & Gavin's Pictures ~ > http://www.thelucastribe.com > ~ Featuring Custom Pencil Drawings of People & Pets ~ > http://www.thelucastribe.com/drawings.shtml > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thank you for the reassurance! It really does help! I am glad I am not alone. ) Lucas, mom to Gavin ~ 07.09.05 ~ 4 Months Old ~ UNIQUE BABY STORE ~ I Sell Baby/Kids Clothing and Natural Parenting Advocacy Clothing! http://www.cafepress.com/uniquebabystore ~ Family Website & Gavin's Pictures ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com ~ Featuring Custom Pencil Drawings of People & Pets ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com/drawings.shtml Re: Feeling Overwhelmed and Paniced Oh , Yes yes yes. I went through weeks of crying, feeling panicked and terrible anxiety as I did my research. It was dizzying and I felt so insecure and upset and fearful. Just awful. My first two had been partially vaxxed so I also had a bad (and I mean BAD) case of the guilts over having vaxed them so blindly. I got over it. You will get over it. At some point you will be absolutely secure in your decision. You will not need your ped to agree with you, you won't care. You will not need anyones approval. You will KNOW that you made the right decision and you will dig your heels into the ground and refuse to budge or even discuss it. That WILL happen . And when it does, the anxiety and panic and all that will just dissipate... and soon, life will seem normal again. Well, normal as in a new " normal " because now you've joined the ranks of the 10% of the world who is AWAKE, and that is a whole other " normal " LOL but it's all gooooood! You are doing the right thing. If you want, take a break from research, it makes ones head spin. But only a breif breather. Then go to NMAseminars.com and get Dr. Sheri Tenpenny's DVD. This will SOLIDIFY your decision and help you dig those heels into the foundation. You will be left with NO DOUBT! You'll be fine, and your baby will grow up and thank you!

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Oh, , I cannot even begin to imagine your pain at this. I am very sorry for your loss.

They told her it was the measles, and sent them home and said she would be fine. So right then I was obviously convinced that wasn't worth vaxing for! LOL > >My mom had whooping cough when she was little, she got threw it fine. > >I am sorry your son has had issues to vaccines, so heartbreaking. > >) Lucas, mom to Gavin ~ 07.09.05 ~ 4 Months Old > This makes me really wonder. Babies at 3 months' don't have measles usually. And most doctors don't even know how to diagnose it. I doubt if it was measles. Roseola maybe?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Forgive me I am rather behind on my email.
