Symptoms: Convulsion, Drug toxicity, Hypokinesia, Nervous system disorder
Clinical narrative: Seizures. Loss of gross and fine motor skills, speech sounds. Brain damage. Was put on phenobarbitol for 6 months. Seized again after his last course of immunizations 4/18/1997. Currently the pt has tried DSMA to get rid of Mercury in his system. 12/28/05 - Review of medical record confirms diagnosis of seizure disorder. Additional conditions noted, but without onset dates include moderate developmental delay, flattened occiput, s/p colitis, and R otitis media. He still receives therapy sessions at least 1-2/preweek at hospital (rehab).  He has no speech & loss of motor function in legs & hands.  Thank you for doing the follow up with patient.  (Toxic Mercury levels in a developing infant can lead to life long difficulties.  It has affected every aspect of his life.  He needs help dressing, feeding and talking every day.  Mercury is not, even in small amounts, of any benefit to a young child. Thimerisol as a shelf life additive is not good.  Thanks for removing it from current vaccines.

Vaccine: DTPHIB, HBHEPB, IPV, MEA, MMR
Symptoms: Insomnia, Irritability, Pyrexia
Clinical narrative: Received 6 shots on Monday 10-03-2005. Was cranky and clingy all week after but not much of a fever. Then on 10-9 (six days later) she developed a high fever (maybe around 102) with no other symptoms that lasted about 3 days. I recall that she also had this same reaction after her last immunizations and I believe it is a result of the MMR shot. So her total 'down time' was about 10 days of crankiness, wakefullness and fever. We had to keep her out of daycare because she was such a handful and wanted to be held constantly. I always hear of these reactions from other parents but no one ever reports it (as I also failed to last time) so this time I wanted to make sure it was documented so the 'side effect' %'s will be more accurate in the future.
