MMR PANIC ATTACK

[pfer]

Hi folks, my ds2 was booked in for his MMR this am and I've cancelled it......

DS1 was immunised and was fine, I had not doubts he would be and what with all the new press saying there is no link between the triple and autism etc why should I be worried?

For the last week I've been stressed out worrying over it, it just doen't feel right this time, do you know what I mean? I look at him and think 'this isn't the right way for you'.

My instinct is in overdrive, it just feels so WRONG. Have I gone mad?

janmad, yeah, it's a matter of "there but for the grace of god go I" isn't it? I couldn't handle it, if ds2 had a bad reaction & was not the little angel I have now and it was because of something I'd done.....could I ever forgive myself? I think not...It'll be single jabs for this little feller (even though ds1 had the mmr and is fine)..

pfer, I'm glad you are going for single jabs, I will be doing the same when the time comes...regardless of the pressure from the doctor, they are not left with the consequences if there is a problem...it would be mine 24/7 and I dont think I could live with thateither!

Good for you.

Don't bow down to pressure over it, it's your responsibility to do the right thing by your kids, not the NHS's.
