Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 This is the way I feel. I believe I've had MS since I was a child. But it was dormant most of my life. Then I was talked into having a flu shot in 1995. Within days I experienced weakness in my legs and pain in my calves. My legs weakened more and I twisted my knee badly. I was on crutches for 9 months. I got off crutches and three months later I had my huge attack of what was diagnosed as Transverse Myelitis. I haven't been without symptoms since then. I am positive the flu shot is what triggered it. I've heard others say the same thing. For some it's other vaccines. I often think of one couple who joined the Transverse Myelitis group. Their baby was just starting to pull herself up in her crib and take a few steps. Then she had a vaccination (I think it DPT but could have been MMR). She never was able to pull herself up again. In fact she was paralyzed from the waist down. She's 9 now and there has been no improvement. I've talked to my internist and my neurologist and they both agree that I shouldn't have any more flu shots. (as if I needed to have them agree to keep from taking any more shots....lol) What are your thoughts?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Both of my children have been vaced and there is alot of research that refutes the fact that autism is caused by vacs it just happens that the first signs show up about the same time as their 18 month shot, the same time as children become mobile. As a nurse I weighed the risks(Kaleb was & 1/2 and already dxed when Meg was born) At the same time, there was an outbreak of whooping cough in our area. It seemed best for me to vaccinate. But I've always respected my patients decision if they chose not to. Some people have better in=mmune systems than others. My son and I have both had chicken pox twice and shingles. He had shingles at the age of 5, the youngest case his dermatologist had ever seen. In other words, Me and Kaleb cannot fight of the herpes zoster virus. Meg can't fight of MRSA on skin infections. Maybe it all tracts down to our immune systems.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I think that each of us has a different reaction to this sort of thing. I did not see anything that would point to a specific vax with my own 2 boys with Autism and AS. But, I do know of some children that showed remarkable differences in abilities and behavior coinciding with the MMR vax. Certain children have gone from interacting with others to no interaction or even acknowledgement of their own parents. Some went from crawling or walking, to not doing so, directly after their vax. Do I think that every child has a problem with vax? No. Do I think some have been damaged by vax? Yes. The truth is, it isn't proven one way or another. And as a mother of 2 boys with special needs, I'm not willing to knowingly give my younger children a vax, that might disable them. I have to weigh it all out. I do not agree that the signs show up about the same time as children become mobile, therefore making it "seem" as if it was the vax that was responsible. My children were mobile way earlier than 18 months for one, and for another, there are other signs one can see from early infancy. A baby will smile and coo, and mimic sounds. There have been cases of children losing speech and communication that they already had. And lost functions they already had. I am also a nurse, which is why I had the Hep A & Heb B shots. I had the flu shot at the same time. I can pinpoint that specific time, when I became ill. I wish I could go back and change it. I would have never had those vax. I do agree that it all depends on our immune system. I think we all need to weigh the risks of vax or no vax. One thing I am sure of, is "Herd Immunity", means nothing to a parent who has had a child disabled, or who died from a vaccination. As a parent, I am most concerned with my child, not the whole herd.

Peace and Blessings ~*~ Akiba ~*~ Pragmatic Visionary http://yodamamma.blogspot.com/ http://www.solay-twinflames.com -- Re: Vaccines cited as cause of neurological disorder Both of my children have been vaced and there is alot of research that refutes the fact that autism is caused by vacs it just happens that the first signs show up about the same time as their 18 month shot, the same time as children become mobile. As a nurse I weighed the risks(Kaleb was & 1/2 and already dxed when Meg was born) At the same time, there was an outbreak of whooping cough in our area. It seemed best for me to vaccinate. But I've always respected my patients decision if they chose not to. Some people have better in=mmune systems than others. My son and I have both had chicken pox twice and shingles. He had shingles at the age of 5, the youngest case his dermatologist had ever seen. In other words, Me and Kaleb cannot fight of the herpes zoster virus. Meg can't fight of MRSA on skin infections. Maybe it all tracts down to our immune systems.

I feel we are singularly Blessed in that. He eats well, is not picky, goes to bed at 9-10, has slept all night since he was a very wee one, he is a very good loving little boy and Extremely intelligent.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hi Sharon, I'm exactly like you. My MS was dormant until I had the flue shot in 1995 too. There is no doubt in my mind that the flu shot "triggered" my first attack. Interestingly I've had most neuoro's tell me to get them, I won't. Seems like some neuro's are for it and some agree not to get them. I know that I know my body better than the Joe Blow neuro and I'm gonna listen to myself. I won't have my daughter get one. Hmmmm.....I'm gonna go back to read what shot she had to have to go to college. She has had MS symptoms for about 9 months now and my neuro recommended that I have her get an MRI. I know a lot of people that get the flue shot and that is great so please don't be offended, I just personally won't get one. Darlene www.canecovers.org -- Re: Vaccines cited as cause of neurological disorder This is the way I feel. I believe I've had MS since I was a child. But it was dormant most of my life. Then I was talked into having a flu shot in 1995. Within days I experienced weakness in my legs and pain in my calves. My legs weakened more and I twisted my knee badly. I was on crutches for 9 months. I got off crutches and three months later I had my huge attack of what was diagnosed as Transverse Myelitis. I haven't been without symptoms since then. I am positive the flu shot is what triggered it. I've heard others say the same thing. For some it's other vaccines. I often think of one couple who joined the Transverse Myelitis group. Their baby was just starting to pull herself up in her crib and take a few steps. Then she had a vaccination (I think it DPT but could have been MMR). She never was able to pull herself up again. In fact she was paralyzed from the waist down. She's 9 now and there has been no improvement. I've talked to my internist and my neurologist and they both agree that I shouldn't have any more flu shots. (as if I needed to have them agree to keep from taking any more shots....lol) What are your thoughts?

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Thank you for this, Darlene. I think that each of us has to make this decision for our selves. I am not well enough to travel much, and at present am refusing all vaccines with any form of mercury in them. I sent a research site on this earlier to the list. I admire your fortitude! I am on lists for three conditions that I have and this has become an issue on ALL THREE lists--and for the same reasons. We are here to learn, and, on occasion, to DARE to think for our selves, plaques not withstanding!

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I didn't mean to upset anyone, I was just saying that I had read alot of the research before I had Meg done, I did Kaleb because I was young and didn't know that some people could have side effects. And at the time I had no familial history(that I knew of) of neurological disorders.(my ex is adopted) Then it turned out 5 years later my ex was bipolar.Every person should have the right to make the choice that's right for their family and not be pressured by their drs or nurses to do otherwise. I just decided to do Meg cause like I said, me and my son have poor immunity systems. And she's been the healthiest of all of us.(the little stinker) Again, I'm sorry if anyone thought I was being judgemental. I was just saying why I choose for myself ' TexasAkiba wrote: My son was developing normally. He got his vac. I had NO CHOICE or I would NOT have done it. HE got ill and was hospitalized immediately after, and from that point on, did not speak until he was 4 1/2. Can you still say there is NO PROOF? Tell THAT to my son. Peace and Blessings ~*~ Akiba ~*~ Pragmatic Visionary http://yodamamma.blogspot.com/ http://www.solay-twinflames.com -- Re: Vaccines cited as cause of neurological disorder Both of my children have been vaced and there is alot of research that refutes the fact that autism is caused by vacs it just happens that the first signs show up about the same time as their 18 month shot, the same time as children become mobile. As a nurse I weighed the risks(Kaleb was & 1/2 and already dxed when Meg was born) At the same time, there was an outbreak of whooping cough in our area. It seemed best for me to vaccinate. But I've always respected my patients decision if they chose not to. Some people have better in=mmune systems than others. My son and I have both had chicken pox twice and shingles. He had shingles at the age of 5, the youngest case his dermatologist had ever seen. In other words, Me and Kaleb cannot fight of the herpes zoster virus. Meg can't fight of MRSA on skin infections. Maybe it all tracts down to our immune systems.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Ya know, that all just triggered a thought, I had my first (and only) flu shot a few months before I was Dx'd with MS! I had forgotten ALL about it! WoW~ Peace and Blessings ~*~ Akiba ~*~ Pragmatic Visionary http://yodamamma.blogspot.com/ http://www.solay-twinflames.com -- Re: Vaccines cited as cause of neurological disorder This is the way I feel. I believe I've had MS since I was a child. But it was dormant most of my life. Then I was talked into having a flu shot in 1995. Within days I experienced weakness in my legs and pain in my calves. My legs weakened more and I twisted my knee badly. I was on crutches for 9 months. I got off crutches and three months later I had my huge attack of what was diagnosed as Transverse Myelitis. I haven't been without symptoms since then. I am positive the flu shot is what triggered it. I've heard others say the same thing. For some it's other vaccines. I often think of one couple who joined the Transverse Myelitis group. Their baby was just starting to pull herself up in her crib and take a few steps. Then she had a vaccination (I think it DPT but could have been MMR). She never was able to pull herself up again. In fact she was paralyzed from the waist down. She's 9 now and there has been no improvement. I've talked to my internist and my neurologist and they both agree that I shouldn't have any more flu shots. (as if I needed to have them agree to keep from taking any more shots....lol) What are your thoughts?
