Dear all,
I've been reading constantly, I wish only good experiences and lots of health to all of you, however only back with posting because of this new question (didn't see it anywhere else, please move it if it's not the right place).
My daughter had three severe seizures (2 status) between the age of 14 an 17 month old, put on depakine after the second one and increased the dose after the third one. She's been seizure free from last november. Her neurologist decided we should stop the medication, we are currently towards the end of this process.
Now comes the letter from our familiy doctor inviting all 4 of us for 3 vaccinations (1 against the regular flu and 2 against mexican flu). We start reading: me-how dangerous a vaccine can be (don't forget her second seizure followed a coctail vaccination, of course no conection was accepted), my husband-how dangereous a mutation of this virus can become. We have an appointment with the doctor to discuss our worries, however I'm certain we've read and know more on the issue than she does. What are your thoughts on that? Did you vaccinate your kids? Do you consider doing this? I don't know what's the framework in your country, in the Netherlands they orderd 2 vaccines for the entire popolation and start with the ones considered at higher risk.
To be honest I've been totaly against that, read about thimerosal, adjuvants,... all which terrify me. Than read about spanish flu, about this special strain now and start to worry. How do you decide which one is the smaller risk?
