Epilepsy & vaccination
In 1998, federal public health officials at the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, Public Health Service (Pediatrics; March 1998) found that a causal relationship exists between live measles vaccine and encephalopathy after analyzing cases of children who received measles vaccine alone or in the combination MMR shot and, within 15 days of vaccination, suffered neurologic signs that progressed to death or mental regression, retardation, chronic seizures, motor and sensory deficits and movement disorders.---BL Fisher http://www.nvic.org

I am a lawyer in Houston, Texas. My firm reprensents several parents of children who have received these shots and then suffered seizure disorders. In effort to learn more about this and to get in contact with doctors who believe in the connection I have been researching online. If any person reading this has any information, experiences, or names of doctors that they feel would be helpful please contact me at texasvaccinelawyer@gmail.com.

Your story sounds alot like mine. My son started having seizures right after his 6 month vaccines. He had two febrile seizures and then one that last 68 minutes long in the ER at Childrens. Not one doctor asked about his vaccines. To this day, not one doctor has acknowledged it could his vaccines. I read Jenny McCarthy's book Mother Warriors. I know that is about children with Autism but I was shocked by all the characteristics they have in common. Seizures, rahes and stomach issues. I am going to call tomorrow and take my son to a DAN!doctor. He has been on two anticonvulsant meds and neither have worked. Keppra made his aggresive and violent. Trileptal causes him to have more frequent seizures. He has had 9 in the past month whereas he had 8 in only 7 months. His seizures would only come while he was sleeping at first. Now that he is on the medicine, they are coming while he is taking a bath, standing in line at a carnival, playing at McDonalds or riding in the car. So I had to ask myself, "Why am I putting him on a medicine that is only making him worse?" I am going to try the DAN! doctor way and see what happens. I was wondering if you had tried this type of method?
