Wanting-a-girl -- the US has a pretty hardcore vaccination policy. We are splitting up all of our shots so they never get more than two at a time. The Hep B vaccine is actually administered to babies at birth here! We opted out of that with the boys and they actually haven't had any Hep B shots at all.
When I was 17, I got a booster for Hep B (in Europe) and two weeks later, I could barely lift my arms, could hardly walk, and I was in tremendous pain and stiff all over. My labs were a complete mess with inflammation levels through the roof. It took almost two years of hardcore meds all of which didn't do anything (cortisone, methotrexate, plaquenil, which is an anti-malaria med used for lupus, etc). I was diagnosed with everything from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis to lupus, etc. Anyway, after a while it just disappeared and I haven't been sick since then (also never got another hep b shot!). All the doctors vehemently argued that it was NOT a reaction from the heb b vaccine and that I was just in "remission" from whatever illness I had. Yeah right. So that's why my kids will NOT get this vaccine.
We are also delaying MMR until 2 years instead of 1.
Thorz -- I really hope my hep b rant doesn't make you feel bad. That wasn't my intention. Plenty of babies/kids get it and are just fine. It was just a personal decision based on my own health history and I would never judge anyone for giving it to their kids.
Said 58% I was having a boy this time an 36% for the last too lol!Quote:

Diva, it doesn't scare me or make me feel bad. My Parents are really hard core ANTI VACCINATION and hear all sorts of things from them. I feel that if someone knows there might be a genetic predisposition to reacting poorly to a vaccination then they should NOT get it or give it to their kids. We do not get the flu shot because it now has the H1N1 included and 2 of my sisters got permanent nerve issues from it and the Doctors agree that it came from the H1N1 so, I do not get the flu shot and neither do my boys because of what happened to my sisters. We used to get it until they combined it with the H1N1. Also, I am the same way with the schedule for my boys shots. He is behind the normal schedule because I am very picky about when he can have them and how many DH is a Dr so he is pro vaccination and my parents are so ANTI that I hear it from both sides all of the time. I absolutely believe that people can have adverse reactions and for that reason I do them on my own schedule. Sorry all of that happened to you, I am glad you are better now!
i havnt given ds3 any vaccines YET lol i am going to start soon i just didnt want any what ifs with him and autism i am a paranoid wreck with him tho everytime he gets sick i swear i have a mental breakdown wondering if he has something crazy
there are certain shot that i will not be giving him tho cause i personally dont see the point for some
i will do the D-Tap, i will do the mmr when he is 4/5 and the prevnar im still up in the air.... i will not give him the varcilla
also i think the vaccine thing is a very personal decision ... and I am just saying what i personally do with my little guy i would never push my views on others or make any one feel bad for vaccinating we all do what we think is best
My craving for ham or bacon is getting really bad! I've made myself bacon and leek soup - I swear I could eat all four portions! Its so salty and gorgeous!!!
