5 Month old having Seizures after immunizations
Fri, 04/15/2005 - 05:26Topic: Family & Friends
When I had my son's immunizations at his 4 month check-up he had a adverse reaction and had a seizure 20 hours after that lasted approximately 10 minutes. He has had a total of 9 seizure since February 20th approx 1 week apart but a couple of weeks ago he had a really bad week and had 4 in a week. The all lasted approx 10 - 20 minutes. They vary from either his right side or left side. He starts with his arm and it looks like he is just jerking it and can't stop, his face sometime draws a blank and other times he is cognitive sometime it goes to the leg other times it starts in the leg and moves to the arm. The doctors are talking about putting him on meds but I am quite apprehensive because I feel the drugs are very strong for a baby and I don't want him to be like a zombie. If anyone can give me some insight on drugs that might be easier for babies or opinions about drugs versus no drugs I am willing to listen.

This girl had some vaccines
Submitted by xanda on Wed, 2019-09-25 - 23:11
This girl had some vaccines last year and look at how she is now. Clearly was caused by the vaccines.She was in high school and needed some immunization shots otherwise she would be suspended then she took the shots, had fever and after that she has 3/4 grand mal seizures per day but she said sometimes she spends 1 or two weeks seizures free,all seizures started after her vaccines. You can follow her in the youtube and I am so sad to see such beautiful young girls going through this. My sister has epilepsy as well,but not seizures like this young girl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH1vW_np-P0
My son was born at 37 weeks
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2014-07-25 - 01:04
My son was born at 37 weeks and 5lbs 2oz. He got a shot after birth and was kept from me in the nicu for 'observation' for the entire first day from around 9am to about 6pm. No one told me anything as to why he was there and he couldn't be with me. Then he was vaccinated at 2 months with the full round of vaccines. (14 days later) He had an extremely high fever that tylenol would not even take down followed by seizures and hospitalized for a week. The doctors ran a slue of tests and couldn't give me a real answer but refused to let me think it could have been the vaccines. He was again vaccinated at 4 months and began losing color, feeling cold, blue lips and nails and it seemed like he was going to have seizures again. He was never the same after this. After the second round of shots I stopped vaccinating him. It no longer made sense that vaccinating him was for his benefit. He was moderately delayed developmentally, his limbs would shake one at a time and then suddenly stop for no reason. He had left sided weakness. He didn't speak. He was always sick for the first 2 years of life with only a few days to a week in between illnesses. He was later diagnosed with Autism at age 4. He is now 5 years happy and healthy, blows me away with his intelligence. He has never had another seizure. I don't think vaccines are for everyone and i'm glad that I stopped his. I do think that parents need to make an informed decision when it comes to vaccines not from doctor visit handouts but from the vaccine manufacturing companies' info itself and vaccine product inserts. I also have a daughter (2 1/2 yrs) never been vaccinated, happy and healthy and autism free.
