wow. how sad. and disgusting. and horrible. thank you for this discussion. i keep searching for epilepsy in conjunction with vaccine injury. lots out there in regards to autism, but not necessarily just epilepsy.
my 2 year old daughter received a combo shot (PEDIARIX) of dtap, polio and hep b. 2 days later she has complex partial seizure, secondary generalization, status epilepticus. at the ER, no one paid any attention when i said she'd just had a vaxx. 6 weeks later, another seizure, same type, but needed 4 medical interventions to stop it after over an hour. ambulance, hospitalizations, and now an epilepsy diagnosis. almost $25,000 in medical bills. our local neuro as well as neuro at mayo clinic dismiss, scold the notion that a vaxx is involved. i am BEYOND angry. i hope the greedy big pharma machine is happy with their money while my daughter, family suffers.
seeing a DAN doctor now, working on ways to treat her. if this has happened to you/your kids, please go see a DAN doctor.
would welcome comments from others in same situation or updates from some of these older comments. i wonder how these kids from 6-7 years ago are doing now??

I was just looking at this same info on my son's vaccine papers. The moderate symptoms of some vaccines are "staring" or absence seizures. I did not know this and was not informed of this at the time of his shots. my son was perfectly fine for 4 1/2 years we go to get vaccinated for school in 12/09 and he starts to have symptoms later that month and in Feb/2010 he is dx with seizures. Something isn't right, we need to be doing more research on this guys.
