Vaccine: MMR, VARCEL
Symptoms: Irritability, Lethargy, Pyrexia, Rash, Rash morbilliform
Clinical narrative: MMR vaccine was given to my son on 2/25/04. On 3/1/04 he had a temperature of 99.3 F and was acting strange.  On 3/2/04 upon wakening, his fever was 102.8 F.  This was the first time in his life that he had a fever.  I took him to the doctor immediately and he was diagnosed with an ear infection (he never had an ear infection before, either). The doctor said it had nothing to do with the vaccine.  His fever broke after just one dose of Tylenol, but he continued to be lethargic, had no appetite and would barely drink any liquids.  By 3/4/04 he started to break out in a red rash on his face.  By the next day, 3/5/04 (exactly 9 days after the vaccine) he had a full blown measles like rash on his face and neck. Again, I took him to the doctor and she denied it had anything to do with the vaccine.  She said it was a "viral rash due to a virus".  My son has been extremely cranky for 5 days now, has no appetite, will have bouts of inconsolable crying that last for an hour or longer and is lethargic.  By 3/6/04, 10 days after the vaccine, his rash is worse, it spread a bit down his trunk and he cries out of the blue as if in pain.  On Monday, 3/8/04, I took him to a new pediatrician.  I told her the events of the past week and she said it was a reaction to the vaccine.  She also gave me an MMR vaccine information sheet that listed almost every symptom my son had as possible reactions.  She told me doctors were required by law to provide parents with the information sheets every time their child receives a vaccine.  My pediatrician never once provided me with an information sheet. My son was sick from Monday, March 1, 2004 until Monday, March 8, 2004.  By March 9, 2004 his rash was starting to fade and turning a brownish color and he had a little bit of an appetite.  On March 10, 2004 his eating and drinking habits returned to normal (actually he ate more than usual but I assume he is very hungry after barely eating for over 1 week. On March 11, 2004 he started acting normal, with high energy etc.  Today, March 15, 2004 he still has slight remnants of the rash on his face (very faded but still slightly brown dots on his cheeks).  He stopped showing signs of an ear infection (the new pediatrician said on 3/8/04 he had fluid in his ears and signs that an infection was present but to stop giving antibiotics-augmentin- that first doctor prescribed).  I am convinced that my son got the measles as a result of the vaccine and that is what also gave him an ear infection-he never had an ear infection before and I don't think it was just a coincidence that he got his first ear infection 7 days after the MMR vaccine and then 2 days later came down with a measles like rash. He was sick for 8 days starting 6-7 days after the vaccination.

Vaccine: HEP, HEP
Symptoms: Arthralgia, Difficulty in walking, Discomfort, Fatigue, Headache
Clinical narrative: Son received Hepatitis B vaccine #2 on 3-9-04 @7:45pm. First Hep B vaccine was administered one year prior. He woke the following morning at 6;30am {less than 11 hours following shot} and forced himself off to school for mandated testing...later complaining to me that he had suffered throughout the day with a severe headache, fever {taken by school nurse at 101 degrees}, overall tiredness and pain in his knees, shoulders and arms...especially the left arm where injection sight located. He also appeared very pale in color. I gave him ibuprofen for the pain as instructed via phone from the pediatrician in office that day and he rested as best he could. When awaking the following morning, he stated he could not sleep due to discomfort in his shoulders in particular. I took him to pediatrician where shot was administered for diagnosis. After examining my son, doctor believes he 'may have had an adverse reaction to Hepatitis B vaccine and that he should not receive HBV #3." He noted some swelling at his knees and explained he had never before seen any reaction to this vaccination in his practice. the word "arthritis" was written in my son's chart and we were sent on our way with little word as to what to watch for or what to do. It is now 6 days following this injection and my son continues to suffer from pain in his joints. He cannot stand for long periods of time or walk any length without having to rest, due to the pain in his knees. He notes continual pain in his shoulder/left one especially...even with 600mg ibuprofen pumped into his system. I am making a followup appointment with the pediatrician to see what else might be done on behalf of my son. He has NEVER experienced this type of pain before in 15 years on this earth. I pray daily that my son's pains are temporary and will subside with time. I pray he will not have to suffer for the rest of his life from this...as I have been reading about many others who have due to this vaccine and/or other vaccinations mandated by law.

Clinical narrative: The day of his DTaP vaccination, April 11, 2003, patient was playing outside with a large, glider airplane made out of lightweight foam.  It circled in the air and hit him on the thigh apparently very near the location of his vaccination.  He exclaimed that it hurt and then he took about ten steps in a semi-circle whereupon he fell to the ground.  His father asked him if he was OK, but he did not respond.  His father then noticed what appeared to be slight, jerking motions similar to that of a seizure.  His father called his name again without a response, so he picked him up.  He then began to cry softly and complain that his head and leg hurt.  From the time of the hit to being picked up lasted perhaps 1-2 minutes.  The "seizure-like" movements lasted only 5-10 seconds.  His father took him inside where he complained of being very weak.  He appeared very pale, disoriented, and somewhat clammy.  After about 10 minutes, he slowly started to respond to questions, but he was not eager to play or walk on his own.  We took him to the ER where they performed an EKG that proved negative.  The ER physician and his pediatrician felt perhaps it was a "vagel" response.  In November 2003, approximately 5 days after getting a flu shot, he had what appeared to be another seizure.  After watching other kids getting flu shots at church, he expressed concern about getting another shot and he complained that his flu shot hurt.  Approximately, 10 minutes later, he fell to the ground.  Thinking he was playing, his father called his name three times.  His father then thought he noticed a slight "seizure-like" movement.  He also noticed that he had a blank stare. His father immediately picked him up and noted that he was limp.  A few seconds later, pt. began crying and complaining about a headache.  He continued to cry and complain about what he described as a bad headache for 15-20 minutes.  His parents took him to the ER.  While waiting to be seen, he soon began to feel totally well without any complaints.  Later that evening, after occasionally complaining about headaches, he began to say he saw "sparkles" and that the "house was moving."  We took him back to the ER and they performed another EKG that proved negative. For a few days, he complained about being dizzy. On the third day, while riding in the van, he started complaining about being dizzy and started to act sleepy.  His complaints increased and he began to become less responsive, so his father took him to the ER where a catscan was taken that was negative.  A few days later, he was seen by a neurologist who determined that pt. had had seizures on both occasions.  He is not on any seizure medication.
