Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I took Dinah to doc last week, he didn't mention anything about pertussis. I really think that's what she has, 1) because she's completely unimmunized and 2) she has all the classic symptoms. She began with a cough, went on for about a week with a mild fever on day 2, otherwise seemed to feel fine except for mild nasal congestion. Around day 6 her coughing spells got more clustered, where she turns red & can't seem to get her breath, does a whooping sound somtimes, worse at night and morning time. It's now day 10 and the episodes seem to be decreasing slightly, but the intensity of the episodes seem stronger. It almost seems that she's at a combo of stage 2 & 3 of pertussis. Anyone have any thoughts as to if this is pertussis and how much longer before she'll significantly decrease? I'm giving her some supps to help speed her healing. I'm considering calling back doc and telling them this has to be it, video taping her, if nothing else to get her chart notated as having had it to prevent the push for future vaccines. BTW, she's 3 yrs, 3 mos. TIA, Debi 's Little Sister ISBN 1-4137-1724-1 www.debityree.com Some have said the autism pandemic is because of better reporting. Let's all thank God California's 2 year autism decline must mean that they are back to incompetent reporting. Forget that autism increases every time a new vaccine is added to infant vaccines and now that thimerosal is decreased autism is decreasing.
