Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 I believe my child was injured by the mmr booster. My child qualified as adhd as a toddler but was happy, swam, did gymnastics, artistic, just doing great. I believe the vaccines she received as a infant - toddler made her adhd, but after receiving Hep B and mmr boosters from the age 9 on, she regressed into more autistic symptoms. I lost my happy healthy adhd child to the signs of ppd-bipolar-autistic. Her titers show high Chronic-reactive EBV. I know in her the EBV virus is related to her mmr. I believe her boosters and HepB mercury pushed her over the edge at 9, 10 & 11! I would make sure the doctors use the M + M + R separately if I had it to do over again, but then knowing what I know now they would not get anywhere near my child with a needle until I was certain I knew what was in it!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hi All, I just received a notice from the school district that my daughter (11 yrs old) needs to have her MMR booster before she can enter Middle School next Fall. I'm going to talk to her doctor about having her titers checked for immunity first, for peace of mind that (hopefully) she's already immune. If she's not immune, then what do I do? I live in Washington state, has anyone else from Washington gone thru this, and how did you handle it? Also, I did already have the Measles test done a little over a year ago so I'm not sure if that test is still valid or how often it needs to be done to prove immunity (does anyone know that?). I'm not exactly sure how to read the Measles test that we did already, could someone please help me with that? It says IgG Rubeola AB, 149, reference range 0-100 IgM Rubeola AB, 10, reference range 0-100 It looks to me like she's immune but what is the difference between the IgG and IgM? Also, her Anti-Myelin CNS $ PN Antibodies test says CNS Myelin IgG, 1:64, reference <1:8 CNS Myelin IgA, 1:64, reference <1:8 CNS Myelin IgM, 1:8, reference <1:8 Periph. Nerve Myelin IgG, 1:64, reference <1:8 Periph. Nerve Myelin IgA, 1:64, reference <1:8 Periph. Nerve Myelin IgM, 1:8, reference <1:8 Again, not sure what the difference between IgG, IgA and IgM is but the IgG and IgA numbers look high to me and it's my understanding that this could be related to the MMR shot that she already had, is that correct? If so then am I correct to assume that a booster would cause more damage? I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions but I'm really nervous about this and I know her pediatrician is going to think I'm crazy when I ask for the titers test so I want to make sure I understand completely all the information I have already. Thanks, Tana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Yes, is right-- just ask them for the vaccination record that they have on file, and if you turn it over, on the back it says Philosophical Exemption and then you read it and sign it, and list out the vaccines that she will not be having. That's it. SImple. If you do have a measles titer you can give them a copy of that as " proof of immunity " so that she can't be excluded from school if an outbreak occurs (it mentions that on the form), BUT like you, I do not know if it has to be within a certain number of years or not. I would just provide them the one you have and then if they ask for one more current, you can get one, BUT you don't HAVE TO get one. Meaning, the philosophical exemption alone is fine. The titer would just be " nice " so that in the rare event that they did have a measles outbreak, you wouldn't be forced to keep her from school at that time.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Thanks so much to all of you who responded to my post about the MMR booster. I'll be seeing the doctor next Tuesday and I'm wondering if I need to request a specific lab for the titers test or will any lab do?

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 You don't need to do the titer test in order to get the exemption. If you still want to do the test, many labs will complete it. brian [ ] Re: MMR Booster Thanks so much to all of you who responded to my post about the MMR booster.
