MMR Side Effects

I don't have a problem with the theory of vaccination, it's simply the way they are processed now and the goals of what we are trying to achieve. When I was little, the preservative of choice for inoculations was refrigeration, now it's multiple synthetic chemicals. "Vaccines", in and of themselves, are probably not the cause of any of the autistic behavior and would only cause symptoms similar to the disease it is trying to prevent...HOWEVER the synthetic chemicals (thimerosol, synthesized MSG, aluminum hydroxide, neomycin, etc) are cause for great concern. There are over 50000 new synthetic chemicals being produced since I was a kid.

I said all that to say this...there can be ANY kind of reaction to any kind of vaccine on the market. Synthetic chemicals contraindicate with other synthetic chemicals and we all have different ones in our bodies due to what we've been exposed to. The percentages of reactions to certain things is because the normal kid does and eat the same things...

Just FYI, the lymph nodes are part of the immune system and try to protect us from everything harmful. They always swells when it absorbs something dangerous to us. They protects us from other dangerous or uncomfortable symptoms.

God bless!

Usually reactions to vaccines are within the first 3 days. So it's probably something else.

Vaccines don't cause autism - read all the recent news about it -- so don't worry about that.

If this were my child I would be careful with vaccines after this reaction . . . I, too, am not against vaccination in theory but question the sheer volume that children receive now (and the timing/combination of them).

I also do not put much faith in mainstream media reports since a decent amount of their advertising revenue seems to come from the pharmaceutical industry.

I like the following web site: www.nvic.org . I also like the CDC web site if you're willing to dig a bit deeper into it.

I'm just a mom and not a health care professional - this is my opinion based on what I have seen with my children (who have regrettably had all their vaccinations except flu and the latest products to hit the market for their age group). I also rarely (if ever) used acetaminophen with my children (now I'm grateful).

I have one child with 40+ food reactions and I will always wonder about the HepB when he was born (he broke out in a SEVERE eczema after but I didn't put it together back then).

I also love this site, as heartbreaking as it is: www.iansvoice.org .

Good luck to you and your daughter.

These are all common reactions to the MMR vaccine and shouldn't cause any problems but go away soon. Tell your healthcare provider when you take her in for her next visit. Keep an eye on the fever but it should go away within the next 24 hours, you can use Tylenol and Motrin to keep the fever down and just make sure that she gets plenty of fluids.
