Hexavac

The first two 6-fold vaccinations went quite normally - mild fever, restlessness, etc. The third vaccination was quite strong. After a short while, high fever (40°C), he used to wake up all the time at night every now and then, suddenly and very scared (like a nightmare). The small time intervals in between were accompanied by loud, shrill crying. Our son slept through the night (8 hours at a stretch!!) until this vaccination and slept regularly by day as well. This sleep-rhythm was no longer there after the vaccination. (In spite of extreme fatigue, he slept poorly and not more than an hour at a stretch!!!). Added to that, there were phases of restlessness during the day - simply put; we had a completely changed child. After this vaccination, multiple infections also appeared (gastrointestinal, middle ear inflammation). We went to many doctors with our child, described the symptoms and behavior pattern and asked, whether this was related to the vaccinations. All the doctors denied it – on the contrary – they sneered at us. They probably thought that we were oversensitive parents with a distinct penchant for dramatization. In short: we were not believed!!!
Five months after the 3^rd vaccination, our son fell so ill with a gastrointestinal infection that we had to take him to the hospital because of dehydration of the body. After he had an infusion for two good days, the complaints were gone. We assume that the\"dirt\" was washed out through the infusion. Statements of nurses like \"we have never had such a bad-smelling stool \", the clear behavior change and an abrupt change in his sleep behavior (10 hours at night, 2-3 hours by day) led us to this conclusion. We are now up for the next 6-fold – vaccination and are terrified that everything will begin all over again.

Tetagam

On Sunday, 07.08.2005, before noon, had let the doctor from emergency service (after a bad injury under my fingernail due to sprinter while gardening) give me a Tetagam-vaccination in the left upper arm. After approx. 2 hours, there was pain in the left upper arm that was initially comparable to severely sore muscles. Simultaneously, severe heat sensation till the shoulder-neck area with a feverish feeling, although the measured temperature was just under 37.5 °C. The pain increased so much during the night and on the next day that I could barely move my left hand. I could no longer take off a T-shirt by myself, as I could not stretch my left hand towards the right one. By this time, the pain in the arm, even when still, was almost just as severe as when I tried moving the arm. On the second night, the pain was so severe that it was impossible to sleep. The pain beamed so much that the whole left side of the body was affected and I had slight problem while walking. In addition to that, had severe headache in the night with slight nausea. On Tuesday, I once visited the doctor again, who took my complaints seriously and did not exclude (the possibility of) a severe vaccination reaction as well as striking of a nerve while injecting. He wanted to gladly refer me to neurologists, but I decided to wait for yet another day, as I had already read in the internet that the pain often alleviates after 3 to 4 days. On Tuesday evening, the pain was still severe while moving the arm but if I kept the arm still, the pain was minimal. Today, on the third day after the vaccination, I can move my hand properly again. The pain now reminds me again of the severely sore muscles, but it is quite bearable. As, in my opinion, it was unlikely that the doctor had struck a nerve while giving the injection (the pain should have certainly occurred earlier in that case), I have decided to request the doctor to indeed forward this reaction as well.

Tetanus

It happened as early as 1985.
After a deep injury by a rusted nail; I got passive as well as active immunization against Tetanus. I got fever; one side of my buttocks had severely reddened, swollen and was painful. I was admitted for OP by the doctor, who had carried out the vaccination, with suspicion of syringe abscess. During the OP, it turned out to be fat necrosis. The secondary healing, with very painful daily changing of dressing lasted for approx 8 weeks. A very big scar remained. At that time, the doctors opined that the serum was not injected deep enough, which was the cause of the fat necrosis. Besides, it was no longer to be determined as to which of the two syringes was the cause. It is estimated that it was the passive immunization due to \"albumin\".
Then I got the 2^nd active immunization, this time properly, intramuscular in the thighs; a short while after that, I had very high fever, pain, swelling and redness. I did not take the 3^rd vaccination.

Years later, I had Erisypelas after an insect bite. I got the passive immunization without side-effects.
Why am I now pondering over everything again?

After an injury, an acquaintance firstly got TETAGAM and TETANUS_VACCINE MERIEUX without side-effects. Second time again TETANUS-VACCINE MERIEUX in the left arm. In the evening she had pain, numbness till shoulder and chest area. She went to the doctor again and was admitted with suspicion of a stroke. Luckily, the symptoms diminished, but she still felt a bit weak. When she contacted the doctor’s receptionist, she learnt that there was a second patient who had similar symptoms.

Within a day, severe swelling, redness and hardening of upper arm in the perimeter of 15 cm. Shivering, fever up to 39.5°, and severe pain in arm, headache and pain in the limbs. Today is the 2^nd day and it is just marginally better, although I had cooled the swelling! Headache and pain in the limbs, burning and itchy pain in the upper arm, mild temperature of 38.5°, continues.

TBE

I took a TBE vaccine in 1988. The first ever in my life.
A few minutes after the vaccination I had high fever, pain in the liver and my face turned YELLOW!!!! And added to that, I began shivering. The whole thing went on for days. Meanwhile, I lost half of my hair. It was really bad! The whole thing happened within a few days. I was very healthy until then and had no problems at all. I did not recuperate from the vaccination for long. The whole thing lasted for very long, and it was not pleasant at all. It might sound crazy, but I just want to point out that I have also got hyperthyroidism because of the vaccination. The aforesaid diagnosis was done after I lost a lot of weight, and the thyroid glands (left and right) hurt since the vaccination. This ailment was cured.
Given the circumstances, I could not or rather was not allowed to say anything, as to where all of this started, my then job needed me to deal with doctors a lot. Unfortunately, I can’t say much to it.

MS-primary disease treated with Copaxone agent Glatiramer acetate. Immune modulation no suppression.

Revaxis

Vaccination on 7.07.05 17:30. At night, I got shivers. Next morning, I had 39° fever. Both my eyelids were extremely swollen because of urticaria. Since I already had MS, I was almost unable to move. On 9.9.2005, after being heavily soaked in sweat during the night, I my fever had gone. Eyes were still severely swollen. Can move again around the house for a short while. In my opinion, the doctor should not have injected against the 3 infectious diseases at the same time, as I could not provide information of a successful initial immunization against tetanus and diphtheria. Also, he should have inquired about the administration of Copaxone. This, I told him only after the vaccination. His answer was that he doesn’t know about this medicine.

Hexavac

During first vaccination, we had no problems. My daughter was grumpy and clingy only for 2-3 days. After the 2^nd vaccination however, it was completely different. A few hours after the vaccination, my daughter was crying blue murder! We could not calm her! After aprrox45? minutes (or more), we decided to give her a suppository – which we could do only with much effort. She calmed down after approx 30-45 minutes and then slept. This night she was unusually warm – but at approx 6 am she had a temperature of about 38° - as a precaution I gave her another suppository.

Since then she is grumpy and clingy which is not usual. She no longer wants to sleep alone and I have to carry her till she sleeps every evening. She does not want to sleep in the evenings – at around 6 pm she begins to be grumpy, to cry – she only calms down, if someone carries her around. She sleeps only between 21:30/22:00. - Before the vaccination, it was between 19:00/20:30. 4 weeks thereafter, the problem persists -- but after around 1 or 2 weeks her mood improved again.

MMR Vax

When every time, after the 6-fold vaccination Hexavac, my son reacted to it severely with fever, flu-like infection, restlessness, spasmodic contraction, facial rash, hobbling, I actually decided not to vaccinate him against anything anymore. Unfortunately, I again got convinced from many sides to vaccinate him against measles, mumps, and German measles as well (also because he is hearing-impaired and mumps, for instance, can have a negative effect on his overall hearing).
Exactly seven days after the vaccination, he developed about 40 degrees fever. I could reduce that to 38.8 degree with a suppository. The fever lasted for a day and a night more. The initial measles-like spots appeared on face. On the ninth day, my little one was completely listless in the morning and had to vomit. On the previous days and the days after that, he ate almost nothing. The measles-like rash was worst on the tenth and the eleventh day and had now spread over the face, arms, chest, stomach and back. Some spots appeared on the legs as well. On the twelfth day, the rash reduced gradually. But my son is still very weepy, exhausted and tired. I have a horribly fear any further vaccine reactions and I hope with all my heart that this was the only complication caused by the MMR vaccination for my son. In any case, I will now definitely not get him vaccinated anymore!

Revaxis(DPT)

At 11 o’clock I got the vaccination, without a warning about the side- effects from the doctor. It was mainly a tetanus booster. After lunch I was very tired, which is not normal in my case. Then I had a severe headache. My doctor told me on telephone that I should take 2 tablets of paracetamol up to 4 times. I took 1 tablet so as to not upset my stomach. I went to bed early as I felt totally exhausted. I slept well because I felt overtired. Next morning, when I wanted to get up, I continued to feel totally exhausted, as if I had influenza. Muscles and limbs ached. I also had a severe headache. This condition lasted till evening. The injection site was red sore and burning. We had then cooled the site with a gel. As on Saturday.

Hep. A+B

4 years ago I did an internship in a hospital. Since, after that I could start with the apprenticeship as a nurse, I had to get myself vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B. 1 -2 weeks after the vaccination, I had severe circulation problems. My blood pressure dropped sharply and I could not stand on my feet very well. My body began to shiver vigorously. I went to see the family doctor and got myself checked thoroughly ( EEG, MRI, ECG, blood- and urine test….but he found nothing. During the apprenticeship, I felt none of these symptoms.
I am now at the end of my apprenticeship and since 3/4 years I have these symptoms once again. I feel dizziness every day, have blood –pressure fluctuations, can for e.g., not stand on my feet, prone to fall, blurred vision, I begin to shiver uncontrollably and take fright.
Of late, I feel nausea as well and have problems articulating in this situation. It happened on the autobahn (German highway) a while ago; I had to go to the hospital after that and for the 5^th time, they found nothing. I must mention here, I never became unconscious. Day before yesterday, I had to be brought to the hospital from school by ambulance and they again found nothing. I spoke to the doctors about my Hepatitis vaccination but they don’t think that there is any connection. They say, I have an orthostatic dysregulation and am stressed. I am undergoing homeopathic treatment for 1/2 year for above mentioned reasons and off late I am going for foot-reflexology. In foot-reflexology, I almost did not bear the massage on the liver point. These occurrences are unfortunately increasing and I don’t know what else I should do.

Hep. A+B

Have got vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B. A few days later, my daughter had a swollen foot (oedema) which itched severely. She could no longer wear a shoe. Apart from that a very bad chesty cough, she coughed continuously. The pediatrician said that it has nothing to do with the vaccination. \"If it does not get better she has to take cortisone\". I went to my family doctor, who gives homeopathic treatment, he gave her Thuja. All the symptoms reduced after taking it. It was 2001. Have not got her vaccinated since then and will not do so either.

Duration of vaccination reaction = 4-5 Days.

Lasted about 2 weeks, I had an undetected EBV-infection, quite simultaneously with the vaccine, which is chronic (wherein, I obviously do not know if would have been chronic even without the vaccination) complaints which occur at times: fatigue, dizziness, slightly increased temperature, lymph node swelling, muscle pain, headache. Unfortunately, I am still looking for a competent doctor who deals with chronic mononucleosis.

After the first vaccination, no reaction. On the fourth day after the 2^nd vaccination, initially 2 red spots on the back, which then rapidly spread all over body. On the 5^th day after the vaccination, hands and fingers swelled, by evening, feet and face as well. The rash spread on the legs, eye lids, and forehead. Fever rose to 38 – 38.5°. I am scared and would like reverse the vaccination. I am no way going to get the 3^rd vaccination. My son has a Penicillin-allergy as well. I was not informed about the risks.

Hexavac

During the initial two days after the vaccination on 11.4.05, my daughter was grumpy during the day, suddenly refused the afternoon sleep and was very tired in the evening (more tired than usual) but woke up often during the night. From third day she did not want to be lie down, neither to sleep nor for changing the diaper. She only wanted to sit in her bed and would then fall over sometime in her sleep. As soon as someone would try to lay her down, she would begin to start crying loudly. During night she would wake up after 1.5-2 hours of sleep, would cry blue murder and refused to calm down. On the fifth day, I called my homeopathic doctor, who responded immediately and mentioned a possibility of meningeal-swelling. The symptoms reduced after that with helleborus and zinc. My pediatrician, whom I called straight after the homeopath, had no time to talk to me and didn’t call back either. His receptionist told me that he has prescribed a Paedisup for my daughter.

Overall I wanted to point out that my daughter was a good sleeper (19:30-7:30 + 2 hrs. afternoons nap) who would prefer lying in her own bed.

Duration_of_vaccination reaction= 10 days

Permanent damage = till today (2.5.05) my child doesn’t sleep in her bed and cries when we want to lay her there.

On 16.2.05 I got the 2^nd vaccination that caused pain in the upper arm this time. Shortly after, I got such severe hair fall that with every wash about 200 (strands) fell out, about 50 hairs hung on to the brush after combing, and about 50 hairs flying around me in general. It is so critical, that if I keep losing hair at this rate, within a year I will have no hair on my head. The doctors don’t believe me, because I have also just started my menopause. Perhaps there is someone, who has been through something similar. Would be thankful for info.

I spoke to the doctor about the vaccine damages, which I had assumed. He laughed and said one cannot ascertain that it has stemmed from that, but he didn’t believe so. I find it very sad that one is not warned exactly about the consequences. We only reckoned with a possible fever.

I got the vaccination at 1 in the afternoon, by evening I couldn’t move my hand (feeling of paralysis). Next day I had no energy left for work but I still did it. Two days later I got a bad cold with nausea, dizziness and severe joint pain in legs, arms and hands. I was worried and called my family doctor. He told me I should inform the doctor. After 14 days, when everything was back to normal except the joint pain and bad itching at the point of injection, I had settled down to some extent. Then I had to take 2 vaccination, I told the doctor there, what I had. He simply said that this will happen again; you have to take that into account. For the first 14 days the second vaccination was much without problem except for the itching! Then the joint pain also started again till the finger tips. Now since 05.01.05 it has at last calmed down. On both the injection spots a scab has formed and the skin itches, which is very annoying. I am also worried about getting the joint pain again, which seems to come and go. Why do the injection spots not heal? Because when it is properly healed and the scab is gone, a new one is formed again. I am not getting the third vaccination. After all, I want to feel good again!!!

Hannes was born prematurely, but up to four months of age his development was age-appropriate.

Infanrix hexa

Hannes received a total of three 6-fold combination vaccinations. The first one was on 12.02.2004 and he did not show any signs of reacting to it, except for rolling his eyes, which at the time we did not recognize as a vaccination reaction. The second vaccination (13.03.2004) changed our life. 1-2 days after the second six-fold vaccination Hannes started having convulsions. We thought it was stomach cramps or gas. Because he was to be at the clinic on 16.03.2004 for his check up and sleeping clinic we thought they would be able to help him with the cramps, too. But when we were there we were informed of a shocking diagnosis: Salaam Tic Syndrome with severe central coordination problems. The worst part for us was that our child, who had been able to do various things like grasping for things, fixating things with his eyes, lifting his head when on his stomach, suddenly was incapable of doing these things and to this day is incapable of doing them. Nevertheless we did not think it could be a vaccination reaction. It was not until he had his third vaccination on 11.11.2004 that we realized it. After being administered the correct dose of Topamax and having undergone synactes treatment Hannes did not have any seizures for six months and the doctors were of the opinion that he could receive his next vaccination. That same day Hannes started having cramps for two full days. Of course we notified the doctor immediately but only received an appointment for an EEG after a week. Two days later the cramps disappeared again and EEGs were done which did not show that there was any inclination to have cramps.

We reported the incident to the appropriate authorities who said that they were not liable for the damage because there was no connection between the two? 
Our pediatrician is also of the opinion that there is no connection to the vaccination, but she has stopped all vaccinations for the time being. They examined our son at the Helios Clinic in order to find the reason for his disorder.  There were no findings when they did the metabolic diagnoses and when they did an MRT it came out that Hannes has agenesia and that his furrows are too large. The cause they gave us was that it was a freak of nature that Hannes was able to live with it.  This is not enough for us. Nobody can give us a reason why our child developed normally in the early stages and suddenly started regressing.

Duration of the vaccination reaction cannot be pinpointed exactly.

Lasting damage = severe inability to coordinate movements state of development is approx. 4-5 months (Hannes is 2.9 years old)

Approx. 3-4 days later I developed wheals and they started itching. It started on my head and for one week it spread all over my body. Even the medication that various doctors prescribed was not able to stop the skin reaction. I have seen two dermatologists and both say they don’t think it could be from the tetanus shot. I have an allergy against pollen and mold fungus and I am going to start following a diet that is low in histamines

DT-vaccination

2 weeks after her first DT immunization (August 2003) my daughter came down with a fever, severe hoarseness, barking cough, respiratory problems including dyspnea which had to be treated at the hospital (cortisone). She even spent one night on the intensive care ward. The diagnosis of head doctor at the pediatric clinic was Croup, but he said it had nothing to do with the vaccination. Up to that point, however, my daughter had never suffered from pseudo-croup, asthma, allergies, or other things.  For two years she continued to have the tendency to come down with respiratory diseases, including the wheezy breathing and the barking cough. We gave her Spongia globules when she needed them and they worked well for us. The second and third immunization against tetanus was done with a vaccine that she tolerated well. Other than that my son and her did not receive any other vaccinations as I am of the opinion that this had been a clear vaccination damage as a result of the diphtheria component (Croup originally appeared in the course of diphtheria

infanrix hexa

Our three-month old son was a very sweet child and he never screamed without due cause. He slept well for his age, too. In the night before his first vaccination he did not wake up once during the night for the first time.  After he had been administered the first vaccination he screamed for several hours until he finally fell asleep exhausted. The next weeks he continued to scream without there being an apparent reason. Since then he has not slept well. He has not managed to sleep through the night at all. We were very afraid that our son would have become a different baby, but a few weeks later he was his old self again.

The second vaccination was not problematic at all, he did not cry, not even when they gave him the shot. When it was time for him to have the third vaccination, my son had a cold but no cough, and no respiratory problems or the like. Yet I wanted to have the vaccination postponed, but the doctor overwhelmed me by talking non-stop how safe it was, etc. A few days after the vaccination my son developed a severe asthmatic bronchitis which he had for weeks. Until then he had only had the same sicknesses as I who was still nursing him. We then battled them together. This was the only disease he had all by himself and to me it seems that it must have been caused by the vaccination.

A 15 month old baby 12 hours after vaccination, severe fever despite Paracetamol (maximum dose) up to 39.7 degrees Celsius. On the 4^th day no fever and lively again, but red spots all over her body, like measles, starting behind the ears, spreading over her face, arms and upper body downward spreading. In addition a cold a cough. The pediatrician thinks that it could be herp angina but the pharynx remains symptom-free. A rapid test for staphylococci was negative so that he suspects that it is a vaccination reaction (of a kind that he has not seen before).

Tetanol Pure FER 1Xo.5MLN1

A few hours after the vaccination: Very severe nerve and muscle pain in throat and face area. Almost impossible to turn head to the left and right except for a few centimeters. I turn to another doctor a few days later.  He thinks that there is NO connection to the vaccination. He thinks it must be a blockage of the disk. An osteopath and naturopath whom I consult that same afternoon says that there is a connection! No blockage! My immune system was unable to cope with a compound in the vaccine!

I did not know the doctor who administered the vaccination. He was standing for my family doctor. Before he gave me the vaccination he did not ask me whether I felt okay and he also did not examine me. When I asked him whether I should take any precautions after the vaccination he simply said no.

The vaccination was a voluntary booster after 10 years.

Duration of the vaccination reaction = has lasted for seven days

TBE

Because I will be undergoing treatment at a health resort with my children in August I had a vaccination against TBE, like I did in 1999. But this time I had a severe reaction to the vaccination. The same afternoon I felt slightly sick to my stomach and I had a headache. I thought it had to do with the hot weather. But that night it got worse and the nausea was so bad that I kept throwing up. I kept heaving even though my stomach was empty. I also had a really bad headache, an extreme sensitivity to light and stiffness of my neck and intolerable muscle and joint pain. I called the ambulance and the doctor gave me an infusion which only lasted short-term. My family doctor, whom I consulted the next day, said he thought it was meningitis and thought it had to do with the vaccination 3 days prior. In the meantime I was doing so badly that in addition to the problems I already described I had acute circulatory problems and problems with my vision and consciousness. They took me to a clinic that had a neurological ward where they tested my spinal fluid which did not confirm that it was meningitis but instead I suffered meningeal irritation. 10 days later I can still feel it. After 4 days I was no longer as sensitive to light. But I am still suffering from bad migraine-like headaches so that I am forced to continue to take medication. I am also having a hard time concentrating on reading, TV or music. Every attempt of mine to concentrate on something leads to severe, cramp-like headaches. I still feel like everything in my head as in a vacuum. Without my glasses I am unable to recognize anything. After being treated at the hospital for 5 days (including the relapse the 2^nd day) with analgesics and infusions I am following my doctor’s suggestion to stay in bed avoid stress and loud noises, as well as sunlight and heat. I am hoping that this is not going to become a permanent condition.

Infanrix Hexa

Two weeks after the 6-fold combination vaccination Maurice started to scream day and night. It was not a normal kind of screaming, it was really pitiful and full of pain. There was nothing we could do to calm him down. A child that had always been content became a child that would not calm down. He seemed to have cramps when he cried, scratched his head and seemed beside himself. Before he was vaccinated he had been sleeping all night through, now he was waking up every half hour. This condition lasted for 6 weeks until an osteopath pointed out that it could have to do with a vaccination. So I started homeopathic treatment for Maurice in order to divert the vaccination and to have him have additional treatment. Now, 8 weeks later, the screaming is subsiding and there are moments when Maurice wakes up with a smile in the morning which is something I had really missed. I feel terrible that I did not get enough information before the vaccination and that the doctors did not explain to me that the brain of a baby cannot tolerate the vaccines. I would ask all parents to get detailed information and to ask for the package inserts and read them. A vaccination can change everything within second and can change the life of a small child.

FSME, Encepur, Chiron-Behring

3 days after my family doctor attested that my health is excellent after my annual exam I had him vaccinate me against TBE because I am in Switzerland a lot. The first two days after the vaccination I had a bad headache, the fourth day the palpitations started (I had never had heart problems before) which made me check into the emergency ward of the local hospital three days later. Since then I have had one infection after the other, accompanied by shaking, palpitations, headaches and joint pain. My respiratory system has not had any peace and quiet in a month. The second infection stops and the next one starts. Trouble swallowing, red tonsils, cough and sore throat are my constant reminders. I sweat profusely, and then my joints hurt for a few seconds. For the last two days I have had a sinus infection and fever. To me it seems like Encepur has weakened my immune system and perhaps even attacked my nervous system. Maybe Broncho Vaxom will be able to improve it somewhat

DIAGNOSIS ACQUIRED INNER EAR DEAFNESS (BOTH SIDES)

(NON-SPECIFIC HEALING PROCESS)
On 16.01.2006 we had an MMR vaccination administered to our 12 month old child Jana. We wanted to strengthen our child and protect her from infections. When she has her regular checkups we have been told repeatedly how necessary it is. Now, in retrospect, I know that some vaccinations would not have been necessary until years later. Furthermore we have been unable to notice anything peculiar with our other children after they were vaccinated.

As of mid-March we became aware of the fact that our daughter Jana no longer reacted to her name or after being called and that she seemed to be startled frequently. Furthermore she started talking much more loudly and for the past 3 weeks she has only been uttering squeaking noises. Jana started talking 2 months ago and was already able to say Mama and Papa.  Her vocabulary comprised 10 words and her development up to this point has been completely normal. We determined that she no longer reacted to being called or to loud noises, and determined this in her sleep, too.

When we consulted the first Ear, Nose & Throat specialist we realized that this doctor had neither the appropriate instruments for small children nor the right training for small children. Because we were very nervous and because we only received confirmation of our own diagnoses we went to our own family doctor the next day with the hope that he would be able to explain the situation to us. He was also only able to confirm our diagnosis and sent us to a different specialist.

When we consulted this doctor the next day it was apparent that he had more experience treating small children. He recognized how serious the situation was and sent us to the university clinic in Hamburg.

My daughter was admitted there on 16.05.2006 immediately and checked for all signs that had to do with the vaccination. They determined an acquired high-degree deafness for which the healing process was not clear. Of course it could have had a number of causes. Extensive diagnostics have not been able to clarify the etiology. The only pathological finding was indications of an acute CMV infection (IgG 1:7900, IgM weak pos. inconclusive antibody index, no sign of. autochthonous AK-production. The most frequent evidence is signs of mutations in the Conexin 26 gene so that this exam was initiated. Next was a treatment with cortisone and antibiotics (probatory intravenous Prednisolon therapy) for one week; there was no positive impact on my daughter Jana’s ability to hear. Due to the fact that a number of weeks had passed from the time of the vaccination until the disease was recognized and treatment, it was retrospectively determined that there were no indications that there had been an infection with viruses – active immunization: measles, mumps, rubella.  My daughter is now cared for on an outpatient basis. She has a hearing aid for both ears (very difficult and time-consuming for small children) which have been set at 90 dB.

I hope that the high-degree inner ear deafness will not deteriorate and that my daughter will be able to learn how to talk with hearing aids.

I learned from my internet research that mumps viruses are frequently associated with loss of hearing but that doctors hardly ever confirm this finding!! As my daughter was always very healthy and did not have any preexisting conditions, was already to say words and my pregnancy was normal, there are no hereditary diseases in our family and she only became handicapped after the MMR vaccination it must be a vaccination damage, which is difficult to prove.

If someone has any experience how to prove this legally without it being too expensive, I would be very grateful. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

6 hours after the vaccination he started throwing up, approx. 30 minutes after being nurses. He was unable to breathe briefly, looked like he was in shock so I held him over my shoulder, head down, he coughed out the vomit. That evening he got a fever, within an hour it rose from 38.1 to 38.8 -> children’s hospital. They gave him paracetamol suppositories and his temperature went down again. For two days it went up and down slightly (37.2- 37.4) Pediatrician does not think it has anything to do with the vaccination!!!!!!!!!????? Even though vomiting is listed as an adverse effect. Before the vaccination and since then my son never threw up!

Infanrix Hexa

When my son was three months old he had his first and only 6-fold combination vaccination. 3-4 days later a rash commenced and spread. Because it was so itchy my son was unable to sleep, the salves that the doctor prescribed did not bring any relief. After the pediatrician was at the end of his rope and was about to prescribe cortisone I said no and found a good homeopathic practitioner. After only one week of treatment me my son was able to sleep the night through. It took about 7 months of treatment for him to be rid of the rash and dry skin. I am convinced that the vaccination was the cause of the neurodermatitis. My son continues to get homeopathic treatment and I will not have him vaccinated again. I have found a pediatrician who respects my decision.

Hepatitis A and B and Polio were administered in late 1997. In 1998 there were only two vaccinations with the vaccine B. During the second shot, hepatitis B, my muscles suddenly started twitching whereupon I immediately went to see my family doctor who looked very worried because I was still being treated with antibiotics for the helicobacter.

My liver values got worse and my CPK value went up. He sent me to the university clinic in Strasbourg immediately where they told me that maybe it was MS. They did an MRT of my head and back and denied the diagnosis. After a muscle biopsy they then explained to me that I had a benign muscle disease which unfortunately could not be treated because the values were still so bad. When I got back to Luxembourg I went from neurologist to the next because I was getting weaker and weaker. MS and muscle disease were “smiled at”. Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyolagy, etc. Suddenly my cortisol went down to under 5. Addison’s disease!!! They gave me pills but nothing got better. I was operated on my back 5 times due to the muscle weakness. Protheses, screws, pillows, etc. Three years ago I started having hallucinations which ended up being epilepsia (migral epilepsia).  Despite medications I still have seizures, sometimes my breathing even stops. This is the abbreviated version of my story. I don’t really believe that the story is going to have a good ending!

28.11.06

S.T., 8.12.1959, male

In late 2004 my husband was vaccinated (Hepatitis A with Twinrix as well as Diphteria-, Tetanus- and Polio with Relaxes). 
A short time later he came down with a fever and unsystematic dizziness and short periods of hallucinations. He was brought directly to the hospital from work. There he had two generalized tonic-clonic seizures. One day later he was brought to the neurological ward in the hospital that is nearer where we live and there he was examined extensively. They diagnosed encephalitis. I pointed out several times that he had had a vaccination, but they did not believe it could be vaccine damage and so my husband was sent to a rehabilitation ward for patients who have epilepsia.

There he had intestinal blockage, problems swallowing and gained 8 kg within a week, which is why they put him back in the hospital on  23.11.04 where he was treated until 8.12.04. On 10.12.04 they examined him at the university hospital and he was given a later appointment for treatment at that hospital.

In the following weeks my husband became more and more confuse, lost his memory, had panic attacks and hallucinations so that I brought him to the university clinic on  6.1.05 where he was treated until 15.3.05. They diagnosed limbic encephalitis with an unclear etiology, post-vaccinous or paraneoplastic genesis, due to his problems swallowing they had to do a tracheotomy and due to the fact that his condition kept getting worse he had to have oxygen. They did a biopsy of his brain which showed that there was an inflammation; however there were no signs of a tumor. Because of the clinical picture as well as other findings they said the probability was high that it was post-vaccinous encephalitis.

Afterwards my husband spent more time at the rehabilitation clinic, but he had to be brought back to the university clinic as a result of apnea, where he was treated again from 22.4.05 to 4.5.05. Clinically there were subacute states of confusion, symptomatic epilepsia, an incomplete paralysis on the right side, trouble speaking, and difficulty swallowing, trembling of the eye, diabetes insipidus and increased emission of spit. He couldn’t remember things; both short term and long term memory were impaired.

After he had gotten better he was brought back to the rehabilitation clinic where he was treated from 4.5.05 on. His condition kept getting worse so that he was brought to the intensive care ward on 22.5 because they suspected that he had aspiration pneumonia and sepsis; he was treated there until 4.6.05. 
Due to a haemothorax he had to be brought back to the university clinic.

The removed part of the organ and placed two thorax drainages. During the night there suddenly was ventricular fibrillation which is why he had to be brought back to the university clinic.

On 12.6.05 there suddenly was bronchospasm (cramps of the bronchial muscles), so that he was given oxygen.
On 16.6.05 he was placed on the neurological ward, he got worse, on 19.6.05 he suffered septic shock, and he was oxygenated and given antibiotics.

On 20.6.05 they did a  CT of the thorax and it was evident that there was a  Pleuraempyem on the left side

On 21.6.05 he was brought back to the university clinic, on 25.6.05 the left pulmonary lobe was removed surgically, on 3.7.05 his situation got worse so that they had to do a computer tomography of the thorax, 4.7.05 there was a rupture of the spleen, pancreatitis as well as haemothorax on the left side. Due to the fact that my husband’s condition kept deteriorating the spleen and parts of the pancreas were removed operatively on 7.7.05.

My husband died on 9.7.05.

(This is an abbreviated version. If I had described what I discussed with the doctors and what I undertook in order to help my husband this would have become even longer.)

Immediately following the vaccination my child, who was 4 months at the time, was very tired and slept. It seemed like he slept a long time to us, he even missed a meal. Approx. 3 hours after the injection he started having cramps in his sleep (without having a fever), even stopped breathing and turned blue in the face. After administering first-help measures and when he was able to breathe again we called the pediatrician. After what seemed like an endless amount of time he had stopped having cramps, but his breathing was very weak and irregular and his lips, fingers, toes were blue and his skin looked like marble.

After the convulsion and until the doctor arrived my child was not consciousness, we could not wake him up. And he had a bad and rigid muscle tone. When we arrived at the pediatrician’s the pediatrician gave him an injection (probably diazepam) and then called the doctor on call and the ambulance. Shortly before they arrived my child woke up screaming loudly and we had a hard time calming him down. They made him stay at the hospital at the neurological ward for a week and did countless tests, consultations, exams, blood work and infusions. A connection with the vaccination was not excluded or confirmed. This was the beginning of innumerable convulsions, severe and light, accompanied by fever and without and followed by innumerable stays at the hospital and appointments with pediatricians, specialists and even naturopaths. But nobody could find the cause and every one treated the symptoms.

He improved greatly when at the age of 2 he had his tonsils and polyps removed. The blood work had been bad and they think it was responsible for some of the convulsions.

I can say that we were very lucky to have our pediatrician who recommended that we refrain from further vaccinations. We waited until our child was 3 years old to have the ones that are really necessary. He got them individually and far apart, they were administered together with fever-lower medication and medication that reduces convulsions. Some of the specialists we see think it is a vaccine reaction which attacked the liver which made our child so sick. We are grateful to the expertise of our pediatrician and to god that our child developed normally and that he did not retain any lasting brain damage from the loss of oxygen. 
Duration of the vaccine reaction  = until today
lasting damage = high susceptibility for convulsions and repeated cerebral convulsions

On 5.10.2006 17:45 I was administered a booster shot for ticks and also a flu vaccination, because the doctor’s assistant recommended I have it.

I asked whether there could be complications due to the mixture of the vaccines and they said no.

I was also not informed about possible consequences of the vaccinations, not orally and not in writing.

The next morning my arm felt like it was going to explode. In the course of the day I noticed that it felt numb and tingly and my hand felt like it was frozen or like it had fallen asleep.

It is sometimes difficult to lift my arm over my hand, I have no energy and at the same time I tend to lose my balance.

After 4-5 days I also experienced pain in the back of my neck and in my back.

One week later I talked to the doctor. The doctor did not know which arm I had the vaccination in and he is not going to report vaccine damage because the sites of injections have not become infected.

He said that the cribbling in my arm had to do with a slipped disk and within seconds said I should see an orthopedic specialist without even checking my arm.

(I thought you were supposed to have a bad backache so bad that you cannot even walk).

Of course the orthopedic doctor could not help me either.

The symptoms have not gone away and I do not know who I have to turn to to have vaccine damage recognized.

Of course my performance at work has suffered considerably.

The day I was vaccinated (around noon) the normal pain started tin the evening, it was in the upper arm. For three days it was tolerable, after a week it was was okay, but ever since the vaccination four weeks ago I have had constant pain in my arm. I cannot lie on my arm; I cannot lift it without experiencing pain. The site of injection hurts, too but it is not swollen or infected. The arm itself is not swollen either, I have been to see the doctor who administered the vaccination twice. And he has now given me an opiate against the pain.

On 02.06.02 our little sunshine was borne. She was everything we ever wanted. She was born 4 weeks too early. The whole pregnancy had been really easy, I had no problems, and they even did several prenatal exams, everything great. The birth of our little daughter was perfect too, scored a 10 on the APGAR evaluation chart, and that completed our happiness. Caitlin weighed only 2,540 grams but she was a very healthy and resilient baby.  She even shook off hepatitis. I nursed her from the beginning and she developed wonderfully until the day which changed our life in a mysterious way:

Seeing that I was a responsible and mature mama (32 years old when she was born) I had my little sunshine vaccinated (6-fold combination vaccination) at the age of 3 months and at a weight of 4 kg and because my pediatrician, whom I trusted completely, advised us to have it done.   
The vaccination itself and the days afterwards were completely unproblematic; I did not notice any strange behavioral patterns until Caitlin was 7 months old. She could not turn herself; she could lift her head when she was on her stomach. She other she got the more I noticed that she seemed very stiff. She could not pull up her legs and when she was upset it almost looked like a spastic defense mechanism set in, which I had never ever seen before in another person up until that point. She could never crawl; pull herself up on the legs of table or things like that. She could only sit freely when she was 16 months old and she only started to walk when she was 2 years old, and she could not get up steps or up to the pavement on her own until she was three years old. Today Caitlin is 5 years old and she is at the level of a 2-3 year-old, her language and fine motor movements are very developmentally delayed. Of course I had several tests done on Caitlin by our pediatrician to find out why my child is so “different” than peers. Genetic tests  ( fragile X-Chromosome Test), blood work, ultrasound of her head and brain wave measurements all are normal and my child is healthy medically. Mainstream medicine, however, specifies her as “developmentally delayed. My frequent visits at the pediatrician’s because I was nervous were responded to airily with physical therapy and other therapies. But I never stopped looking for a reason for this developmental delay and luckily I ran into a good homeopath who gave me the diagnosis “vaccine damage” at the beginning of this year (caused by the 6-fold vaccination, mainly the tetanus). My whole beloved family which is backing us up, my homeopath and I are now trying to divert this calamitous vaccine with the help of homeopathic medication so that my little sunshine can finally start developing normally. We are all hoping for healing, at least improvement.

When she was three months old our daughter got a 6-fold combination vaccination. We were told there could be the following adverse effects: reddening and swelling at the site of injection, fever and crabbiness. That did not seem bad to me. As the doctor did not seem to have an opinion regarding the vaccination itself (“the parents alone must decide” – the last time we had seen him we had been given STIKO’s pamphlet which, according to my present view of things, I would refer to as propaganda); we agreed to the vaccination and had to confirm it I writing.

The vaccination itself was not that bad. We were happy and took a walk with the baby carriage. Our daughter had had an absolutely sunny nature until that point. After the 8th week she started sleeping all night, never screamed and was a healthy and normally developed child. After the vaccination she was extremely sleepy and slept 2-3 hours. We were still happy and thought that would do her some good and let her sleep and that afterwards it would all be over. When she woke up we were at home. She started screaming like crazy. We were very shocked and tried to calm her down, but without success. She continued to scream even as I was holding her. It took approx. 2 hours and she only stopped because she was so exhausted. She continued to be apathetic and her head was very warm. I nursed her continuously. She seemed to do better. The next morning began quietly, but towards noon the screaming started again and it lasted 2 hours. The next morning began quietly, but then the screaming started again and did not stop for two hours. The shrill screaming has stopped, but since that time she has not slept all through the night and sometimes she wails. I also noticed that since that time she has stopped “talking”. My husband has a tone studio and we made the first recordings with her when she was 10 weeks ago. Now she is 17 weeks old, the vaccination was 4 weeks ago and she has not made those kinds of noises yet, the ones that she could do. About 2-3 weeks ago she started squealing again and I am hoping she will get better. Furthermore I noticed that in the days after the vaccination she had a rash on her legs which did not seem to be itchy. It has disappeared in the meantime. I read up on vaccinations after this incident because I was so surprised. Since that time I have berated myself a lot. Next week she has her second vaccination date and we think we will not have her vaccinated any more. We will inform the doctor. We have not decided yet whether we will ever have her vaccinated again.

Luca had an MMR vaccination on 08.06.2006. 14 days later there were red spots on his skin. It turned out that they were petechial. At the same time he had bruises on his legs when there was the slightest touch. They did blood work and his thrombocytopes value was 5.000. After being admitted to the hospital the value rose proportionately every day and after 4 days when we left the clinic it was 50,000.

The doctor did not see a connection between the vaccination and the reaction. He thinks that Luca had some kind of an infection which no one had noticed. On the other hand Luca was always really healthy before he had the vaccination (no fever, no cold or anything else, either). I definitely think that this reaction has to do with the vaccination.

I had the vaccination 4.5 months ago. 2 hours later the headache started, after further 12 hours of a stiff neck I could not lie down for 36 hours without someone helping e. Two days later I was hardly able to walk to the bathroom on my own. I could not tolerate light, noise or being touched. I took pain medication to get through the next few weeks. All blood work was positive. My condition got better, I have energy again, I can run around and on the good days I can work, but I am still far from my old healthy self. I still have terrible headaches and neck aches and I can only move my head slowly and I am still very sensitive to touch. In the morning it takes about an hour for my head to calm down again. I feel like I am on a roller-coaster ride. On bad days I have to stay in bed and take pain medication all day long to keep going.

10^th day at the same time a very bad convulsion, approx 30 minutes duration. Afterwards hospital in Berlin, first time vaccine complication mentioned.-

Findings: Expansion and plumping of 3rd ventricle, connection between vaccination and reaction was reported as vaccine damage.
In 1984 the Vaccination Commission was unaware of vaccine complications.

When 10 months old status epileptics approx. 40 min convulsion, brain damaged. At the time it was a sensation that the error was admitted by the doctors. First attempts to adjust my son with medication which has not been successful to this day.

Vaccine damage recognized in  1985 

The following damages have been recognized: 

early childhood brain damage after 3^rd DPT vaccination, severely mentally handicapped, chronic organic psycho syndrome, therapy-resistant proneness to seizures and as of 01.01.1994 severe limitation of the gait, marked problems when regulating equilibrium as well as considerable ataxia 01.05.1999 loss of teeth: 12

My daughter had a wrong vaccination. A vaccination that does not even exist.  HB-b 4 fold combination, and there is no such thing as this vaccination. There are three doses of individual vaccine vaccinations for HB-b and after that the children have basic immunization.

As a result of the 4 Hobbs my daughter had severe reaction with muscle atrophies and other symptoms, which all display Myofascitis (severe adverse effects as a result of aluminum –formal eyed –mercury and other compounds which are added to the HB-b vaccine.) In the meantime my daughter is 7 years old and still wears diapers, sits in the wheel chair sometimes and walks with a walker. She has to have help all the time and she now goes to a special aid school. We are going to take the doctor to court. We have also applied for vaccine damage, and others.

After the 4^th vaccination, which is not recommended, my daughter had fever symptoms and a thick red bump, she cried for several days, and after that she became quiet and did not get up anymore. After 14 days had passed my daughter tried to get up again on her own and she did not manage to do so, so she stood there bow-legged and then she collapsed. This continues as damage.

Lasting damage: muscle atropia, colitis u-CIPD spinal water inflammation – loss of fine motor movements – pain and convulsions and vision impairment, etc.

I had my vaccinations 7 years ago (Twinrix 11.08.99 and Twinrix on 25.09.99). I did not want to have a third vaccination because I think I would not be sitting here writing if I had

Within 10 days after the two vaccinations my body reacted by cramping and my tongue was swollen. I could not eat or drink or talk. I had great pain when I swallowed and I had a headache and my neck hurt. Within 5 days I lost 10 kg. My blood pressure values no longer were okay. I went to the hospital and they gave me infusions. I got morphium intravenously because normal medication no longer helped.

No doctor was able to help me because nobody knew what was wrong. The symptoms after the 2^nd injection were much worse than after the 1^st injection. I thought I was going to die.

When I called the manufacturer later I was not told anything. They kept saying that „the vaccine was dead and nothing could happen.“

I had to have my muscles tested, I went to see a neurologist, a logopedic specialist, I had my blood work done and they did an MRT, etc.

What was strange was that after the MRT I felt better immediately and that suddenly I could eat and drink again, even though it hurt.

As the reactions were never clarified, I did not have the third Twinrix. And since then I have never had these symptoms again.

11 days after the vaccination very high fever (39.5), then a few fever-free hours, very tired, clings to me a lot, euphoric and furious. Bad headache, stomach ache and some nausea, lymph nodes swollen. After 2 days I consulted a naturopath, slight sinus infection, infection in the right ear, swelling of the lymph node.

3^rd repeat vaccination was administered within a very short period of time (within 6 weeks after the second one). Immediate reaction: allergic reaction with heat, respiratory problems, cribbling, bad circulation (duration approx. 3 hours, medication administered by doctor)

Next reaction: 3 days later cribbling, dizziness, vibrating throughout whole body, difficulty breathing pressure on chest, constant allergic reaction to everything (food, smells, perfume, and pollens), and 4 weeks later it subsides, indefinite reaction to food remains. Doctors say all organs are okay and blood work is fine.

When she was 4 months old my daughter received a 6-fold combination vaccination in the morning, during the day she cried a lot and could not fall asleep. That was unusual for her, before that she was a very content and happy baby. But I was not worried because I thought it was a normal reaction for a vaccination. I put her to bed at 8.30 and she did not have a fever. At 11.30 she woke up screaming, approx. 1 minute after that she was completely quiet. She then had a cramp and lost consciousness for approx. 30 minutes (now she had a fever of 39), the doctor on call gave her medication intravenously. They put her in the children’s clinic and kept her there for 5 days, the exams did not show a case. They told us that the cramps had been caused by the fever which was a direct vaccine reaction. I myself as her mother do not think she would have had this kind of a cramp with a normal kind of flue, I think it was triggered by the vaccination. After the hospital she was not herself, screamed when I put her to bed or when I left the room, stopped smiling. For a week now her smile has returned and I hope she will be back to her “old self” soon. We can only hope that she will never again experience this kind of seizure.

My daughter received a vaccination which is not recommended for her age group, 1 and a half would have been the normal age for a single HB, at that age they usually get 3 individual doses and the fourth one is administered when they start going to school.

My daughter was only 1 and a half on 29.05.2001, she was healthy and she could walk and talk, but after the vaccination she had reactions. There was a large red fat bump on her legs where it had been administered, she was very restless and cried a lot, this lasted a few days and during this time she hardly walked and talked. The pediatrician said that that was normal. Approx. 14 days after the vaccination my daughter could no longer stand, she was bow-legged and held on every where and to this day she requires diapers, I have to take care of her day and night. She needs attention around the clock. And it is not getting better but instead is getting worse. Nobody can tell me if my daughter is going to survive or if she is going to die.

Our son was vaccinated on Monday 17.07.2006. He came down with a fever and so I gave him a suppository. The temperature went down to normal on Tuesday again.

On Tuesday evening he had a fever again and we gave him a suppository, he had a temperature Monday 38-39C./Tuesday.38-39C. He was all sweaty and restless when he woke up and slept for long phases of time, second vaccination which was like the first one up to this point.

On Friday morning and until 11.30 our 5-month old son was wide awake and very lively.

My wife put him to bed at 11.30. At approx .11.45-12.00 my wife heard our son choke and she ran into his room. He was all cross-eyed and the arms and legs hung there, lifelessly. My wife took him downstairs and called the ambulance. He woke up and had cramps; his temperature was approx. 38.5C.
The ambulance arrived 2-5 minutes later. They took him to the children’s clinic. The ambulance people gave him pain medication and pills to loosen the cramps.

I came home from work and picked up my wife and we drove to the clinic. When we got there we saw our son on the examination table, he was moving his arms and his legs and was screaming, he was fighting. Then he was brought to the intensive care ward. The doctors said that they would have to examine him some more, but that he was stable. They took spinal fluid, blood, did an ultrasound of his head.

They thought it was a herpes virus, meningitis, maybe sepsis, and even though there was no clear finding they started treating him with two different antibiotics. They said his stool showed that there was an infection.

We told them that he had been vaccinated and said that maybe he should have a blood transfusion to detoxify him. The doctor said that the vaccination was too far back and that there was no connection.

He got infusions and medications to calm him down, the ultrasound of his head was normal, his eyes showed reactions but otherwise he was passive.

On Saturday at 3 pm he stopped breathing and chaos started.  My wife stayed with him until they brought her out. 45-60 minutes later his condition was stable again.

Initial results:

Spinal fluid normal

Ultrasound of head normal

Blood virus found, they now continue treatment with one antibiotics, group must still be determined.

Nurse gives him herbal remedy to support getting better.

My son received more medication to calm him down so that he cannot turn around and rip out the tubes. He had fought the intubations.  So it is also incomprehensible that it would be necessary to call out his weight across the hallway in order to administrate the dose. 5.700 g or 6.700 g.

The doctor informed us that the situation was serious but stable. The child did not have atypical symptoms. They could not tell what was going on. They were going to have to wait and see what the results of the blood work were.

On Saturday evening at 23.30 the brain started swelling, no eye reaction, he seemed lifeless. Then he was brought to the university clinic. The doctor said that they were no longer able to cope with the situation and that he had to be moved.

Our son died on 24.07.2006 at the university clinic (Saturday evening)

7.08.06 normal skin bacteria in the blood
All other exams not unusual (metabolism, amino acids, molecular)

The autopsy showed that it was water on the brain.
At the university clinic they tried to do what was possibility, but they didn’t have a chance because too much time had been wasted at the children’s clinic.

The people at the university clinic do not think it has anything to do with the vaccination, but it has not been excluded as a possibility. They told us that the 7 day limit after the vaccination had not been passed.

They are still doing a number of skin tests. It is being included in the vaccination trial  RKI.
We now have a lawyer who is going to take care of this for us because of the way things were.
We are absolutely certain that the vaccination was the cause for all this!!!!!

Until she was vaccinated my daughter was a very quiet child, and actually her reaction is not all that bad. I hope nothing else will follow! Approx 2 hours after the vaccination I had her in her carrying bag where she was asleep, but she woke up and screamed and seemed disoriented and panicky. It continued for the rest of the day. My child had been a good sleeper from birth, and suddenly she could no longer fall asleep. She always smiled a lot and never cried, and here she was crying for 3 days straight in a panic, nothing helped, and suddenly as it happened it went away gain. She had a slight fever of 38.9 after the vaccination and since then she’s been having stomach problems and gas 4 days after the vaccination she had constipation... The site of injection was red. She had slight respiratory problems and was much more restless than usual.-

A good friend of mine recommended giving her thuja C30, and now 13 days after the vaccination she seems to have gotten better even though she still has digestive problems and there are little noises when she breathes and she cries a lot more than before.

Even though all this is not serious according to the doctor it is serious for me as a mother.  And I am sure it will have been her last vaccination.

Three months after the vaccination she started losing her hair. Nine months later my daughter had lost all of the hair on her body. An immunologist said her immune system was in imbalance and that there was a  Type-I-Allergy to Td pur

1 week after the vaccination muscle cramps in arms, leg and back, sweating during the night, bedwetting, fatigue, and no energy. On day 18 after the vaccination nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness (30 minutes!), admitted to hospital. Neuropediatrics: diagnosis after one week: Rolando epilepsia.  Since then no special occurrences and no signs that it is epilepsia. Of course the doctors do not think that it could have anything to do with the vaccination. (And so why does the form that I had to sign say that 3 cramps a day are a potential vaccine reaction?)

My daughter had her first vaccination on 06.03.2002 against pneumococci. Prevenar (11 2002 61413).
Less than 24 hours later there is slight redness at the site of injection, including swelling.

Her temperature is 38.1°C; she is restless and very tired. 2 days later it was over, thank God.

On 17.08.06 my daughter was vaccinated against pneumococci a second time. This time the compound was called Pneumovax 23. The reaction was much more intense than with the first three vaccinations. Right after the vaccination she cried a lot and said that she had a lot of pain in her arm. 3 hours later her arm felt hot and was badly swollen. She was restless, tired and her temperature went up to 38.7°C.
This morning 18.08.06 temperature had gone down to 37.7°C but the site of injection is still swollen and hot. She says she has pain in her arm and in her shoulder and along her back.

1^st vaccination was about 6 weeks ago, tolerated well (only slight pain in upper arm at site of injection), 2^nd vaccination Wednesday evening. Thursday morning pain, but just like we expected (1^st vaccination). After a few hours pain became unbearable, went down to the elbow, cannot lift arm over head, etc.

Since then (3 days ago) bad pain, which can only be tolerated if she lies down and holds her hand in a certain position (no weight on her shoulder joint).

After the vaccination (yesterday 7.8.06) I was completely wiped out, so I went to bed and slept through to this morning. Today I have a fever and my joints hurt, I have a headache, my nose is stuffy. I am also completely weak and could not work (at the desk).  I got prophylactic shots for Rajasthan amounting to 500 Euros. Even though I will only be in Rajasthan for 19 days, including hotels and bus shuttles, I got cholera, rabies, Hepatitis B and typhus. I feel like I was ripped off financially and health wise.

When my son was 3 months old he would sleep all through the night, then he had his first 6-fold combination vaccination, Hexavac and since this point in time he had problems sleeping. After that we had a turbulent time (he woke up 7 to 8 times a night), so I turned to a doctor who practiced alternative medicine (my son was 16 months old at that point). She gave us Chammomila Recutita D30 globules which helped so that my son now only wakes up 1 to 2 times a night.

After various rounds of discussions with parents who have also been affected I think it will be good to have the vaccines diverted by a good homeopth.
