Clinical narrative: Monday morning 2/12/18, our little patient woke up with cross eyed vision. We immediately called a Pediatric Ophthalmologist and upon reviewing her, requested an emergency MRI at hospital. The thought of our baby going under anesthesia was so terrifying. To see our little baby in the recovery room with an oxygen mask over her face completely passed out because of the anesthesia was a sight no parent EVER wants to see. How could this have happened to our baby? She was perfectly fine on Sunday. We started to put the pieces together and the only conclusion was this could have been a direct cause of her recent MMR vaccine she had last Wednesday. I did notice her acting fussy Saturday, she had serious diarrhea and thought she was catching a cold or possibly teething. Thanks to GOD the MRI results came back normal Thursday. They did see some sinus congestion, but no major mass or tumors. Her ophthalmologist and pediatrician are both saying it?s now a waiting game, this is completely normal and her vision should go back to normal on her own. Worst case, she'll need glasses or surgery. As a mommy, this is NOT normal. When your baby?s eyes are getting worse, there's heavy green mucus in both eyes, you feel like you?re racing against time, you fight, you research, and you're on the phone to get seen by more doctors. This has given me a whole new hunger to know what's in the vaccinations that are given to our children. Again, she was completely normal and her pediatrician even saw her on the day of the vaccine for her 1 year wellness check and said she looked perfectly healthy. I'm a desperate Mama searching for answers and for our baby to get her vision back.

Clinical narrative: Within 3-4 days after the vaccine was given and for about two weeks afterward my daughter began to experience excruciating headaches that would not go away with advil. She also experienced severe eye pain, dizziness, nausea, stomach ache, body aches and then, difficulty breathing. When she started having difficulty breathing she was also very fatigued. She had difficulty standing up due to the extreme fatigue. She would get light-headed when she tried to stand up. She also complained of extreme pain behind and around her eyes and blurry vision. She had increased sensitivity to light and sound. She complained of tingling in her legs, especially at night. In the first week that the symptoms started she also had a loss of sense of self for about 30 seconds. During those 30 seconds she did not know who she was, who I was or where she was (in our home). This only occured one time. She later began to experience anxiety and fear, followed by hallucinations. The symptoms subsided after about two weeks but came back two weeks later and lasted for another week. Until January, 2018, every month for about a week she had these symptoms. They subsided after I began to put her on a specific vitamin protocol and low-histamine diet. She now suffers a continuous ongoing low-grade headache most days but not the more extreme symptoms such as difficulty breathing, tingling in the legs, anxiety and hallucinations.
