Vaccinating baby ... Any supportive wordS?

So I had lyme during pregnancy . Igenex placenta and cord pcr negative although I will retest in a few months with western blot .
Baby gets jabs tommorow and after lots of thinking I think I need to get him immunised . I live in london and the disease are a real threat. I am not going to give the live vaccines such as bcg and mmr .
Has anyone got any supportive words I feel horrible as where I live I do have to have them

Hi nervousmummy,

My daughter has her vaccinations.. I like WWJD20, didn't know any different back them. I passed Lyme to my daughter when I was pregnant. She was 14 when diagnosed and has been treating since Jan 2011. She did have some symptoms of Lyme, though no one knew it, not even myself at the time. We were diagnosed at the same time. Most of her symptoms were joint, leg and back pain. Doc said she had curvature of the spine, growing pains, and a leg length discrepancy.. all BS.. it was lyme. Now that I know the symptoms, I can see it from the beginning. However, the worst of her symptoms began when she becan menstruating. Hormones have a lot to do with lyme and activating it.

Just be aware of the symptoms, they can vary a lot in kids. If you would like a list of some that my daughter experienced, I would be happy to let you know. Some were mild, others glaring.

Good luck!

Gse is good I use it. Do you know if it works on lyme cysts throughout the body or just the gi?

Hey nervousmummytobe,

My daughter's symptoms:

First year, high unexplained fevers, hospitalized twice. One with a 107.8, and another time with a 107. And throughout her younger years, she always seemed to develope a high fever. It wasn't uncommon for her to have a 104 every few months. Sometimes, she wouldn't even have any cold symptoms, just fever.

She was always very tiny. One of the smallest in the class, lyme can stunt a child's growth. She had pains in her ankles and knees, was told it was growing pains. She had gum disease, always blamed us for her not brushing correctly. Restless leg syndrome, constant strep throat, scoliosis, esophogeal paralysis (couldn't swallow well), knee pain, ankle pain, lower back pain, swollen lymph nodes, constant sugar craving, severe difficiency in Vit d, anemia, muscle pain. The closer to puberty she was, the worse the symptoms got.

It was when she began her period that all the cognitive symptoms began: dizziness, confusion, headaches, fatigue, panic attacks, anxiety, feeling blue, very painful periods, loss of appetite, floaters in visual disturbances, memory problems, swollen lymph nodes, mood swings, irratability, somnolence, backache, chest pain, abdominal pain, insomnia, narcolepsy syndrome, acne (not just common teen acne), nothing helped it, thyroid nodule.

She also has ehrlichia/anaplasmosis, bartonella, and babesia. Poor girl, what my love had to go through. But she is doing much better now. We are hoping this year will be her final year of meds.

Let me know if you have any other questions...

Samantha
This is all I remember at this time. I will add more if I remember.

Thats a really tough answer to answer. Like WWJD20 said, taking some herbs that are not damaging can be beneficial. Although I would really talk to a doctor, preferably an LLMD. They seem to be aware signs and symptoms much more than others.

My best advice is to watch everything. Lyme disease can remain in a dormant state for a very long time, or it can advance very slowly so that you don't really notice it. With that being said, it can also hit all at once, like it did for my daughter when she began menstruating. Lyme really does bear a different face for every person.

Sincerely, Samantha
