Reactions to MMR - how long do they last?

[MrsMoppetMama]

My DD (13 months) had her MMR 11 days ago, she had a bad reaction after about 3 days (high temp and trouble breathing) and we took her to urgent care center. Although this has now passed, she seems to be really out of sorts and has stopped sleeping through. Her normal routine was brilliant as she went down from about 7 - 7. Now she is waking every two hours and is very unhappy. Is this normal? is this because of her MMR or is it just a phase? She has also stopped taking her bottle before bed, is it likely that she has weaned herself? Help! It's been pretty easy going with her up to now so a bit stressed by all this.

I didn't watch any for years, then bawled my way through it. Watched it a couple of times then haven't looked again.

I'd like to get it transferred to digital now if I can (it's so old I only have VHS tapes).

I am teary at the thought even

Elaine you should say something about the scientific base for a mass population programme of cervarix innoculation given what I have just revealed to you

Check out LAMP - that's what ds1 is using (terrible motor planning as well), and the motor planning issues are recognised and taken into account with the system. It's designed specifically for autism, and the motor planning issues that go with that. We tried other methods and talkers (such as proloquo2go) which didn't work at all - ds1 wouldn't engage, couldn't do it because of motor planning. With LAMP from the trial he has just flown with it. I was very reluctant to even do the trial and within a day my jaw had dropped and he loved it right from the start.

However.DD wasn't interactive then with me and now is super cuddly and affectionate

Thanks,I will certainly investigate that. They sound very similar

Here's the UK LAMP site with a link to the US site.

"You do know why in vaccine trials, a new vaccine is compared to the old one right? You realize that it is UNETHICAL to leave children exposed to the risks of disease when the existing vaccine is effective and safe?"

If everyone is so sure that the vaccine in question is effective and safe, WHY do a vaccine trial in the first place?

Thanks, she has started to hit me this week with frustration so we need to start thinking about different options

I think the reason why LAMP has worked so well for ds1 is the use of www.aacandautism.com/lamp/why consistent and unique motor patterns]] mentioned on this webpage.

I don't fully understand why but for some reason ds1 just seems able to remember how to produce the word using this approach extremely quickly. He actually knows more vocab on the device than me and I'm quite often found saying 'ds1 show me how to say after' for example. And it's fast - so for minimal effort he gets a big reward (a voice).

This time last year I was complaining about having to do a trial in the next few weeks, within a few days I was trying to find out how to get a device

sorry link again

Looking at the link, it looks really impressive

Beacause, cote, safer and more effective vaccines are developed all the time or pathogens mutate and vaccines need to change.

Despite the number of vaccines increasing, children are exposed to far fewer antigens in vaccines than in the past.

I didn't expect it to work. Or I expected it to be something where I'd have to say 'ds1 get your communication aid' then force words out of him. In fact he comes home from school, takes off his school t-shirt as he walks thought the door, gets on a clean one, then gets out his talker and tells me something. Nearly always a comment, not a request. And he's possessive about it. If someone picks it up to have a look, he takes it back off them.

That sounds like a dream come true!

You didn't get it at all.

Honestly it is! He has told me so much, and I've discovered he understands things that I had no idea he understood. And he worries about things I didn't know he worried about.

I am always thinking how sad it is that I don't "know" DD

For us google maps was the first insight into his mind (found out he remembered places he'd been to age 2 for example) but that wasn't invented until he was about 8!

With this I've been surprised by the language he already understands. So for example shortly after we got his own device we were driving to the beach and he was trying to send me down tiny country lanes. I said 'no way' so he immediately replied 'later'. I almost crashed the car - had no idea he understood later, or could use it appropriately.

Now he's hit puberty his behaviour has become a little challenging and we were able to have a chat about that as well - which really surprised me. His language is still very under-developed. He's had no proper voice ever, so he has 13 years to catch up on, but he's coming out with new words every day now. And he explores the talker by himself to find new words (I hadn't shown his later - didn't even know the word was on there). And he's just starting to put words together into short phrases. His word order is often a bit wrong, but he's learning. Earlier for example he said 'mummy car new car park after christmas'. (Referring to some building works at respite which will finish in January) WOW!

That is so amazing for him :)

Elaine are you avoiding my question

I can quite understand why you would want to but just wondering

I mean, it is completely indefensible to roll out a mass vaccination programme on such flimsy evidence and then put public reports of adverse events (which match the adverse events linked to both vaccines) down to coincidence and ignore the people who've suffered and are suffering as a consequence

but humour me

Can I just say best wishes to fanjo

Thanks, means a lot :)

Fanjo anytime you want to know more about LAMP just ask on SN. I have some video of ds1's progress as well from trial to present day - just let me know if you want to see it.
