MMR Vaccine side effects?

[Leggy_Girl]

I had an MMR booster yesterday (i've been meaning to get it done for ages), but i'm experiencing weirdness in my left arm now. It's really making me feel sick Has any one else had the vaccine?

I've looked up all the usual side effects but nothing matches?

The top of my left arm is tender (i'm guessing that's from the needle), the back of my shoulder has a piercing pain in it, and my hand has almost constant pins and needles. This all came on about 10am this morning.

Can anyone help?

Sounds like a trapped nerve to be honest. I occassionally get tingling in my chest and biceps from a trapped nerve in my neck.....I got this from sleeping wrong. I also get sharp pains at the top of my back next to my shoulders. Pain in the ass.

Amputation may help... or failing that, a tourniquet around the throat will solve ALL problems permanently??

Sorry I'm being flippant, I'm just getting to the end of a particularly boring 12 hour shift and trying to keep amused I'll get me coat

Since a friends son developed autism, i've gone the single jab route.

Cost per jab is something like £130 though , * 3
Ouch

I bloody hate trapped nerves , but amputation does not help , theres something called phantom nerves ie people who have a painful limb self amputate , the brain rejigs the nerves in the body and its much worse cus you can still 'feel' the pain but can't do anything about it , ie trying to scratch or massage it cus it isn't actually there anymore.

A German Pal had something similar when she was involved in an accident she didn't lose any limbs but stroking her face would make her feel as if her thigh was being stroked, but then this might have been a misinterpretated by her as something else ie a younger version of itch doing some moves on her.

The three jab versus the single is such a void issue. The amount of cases of disease arising from children not getting the vaccines or taking the single ones far outweighs any chances of developing autism IMO. Christ a definite link was never proven so families are risking deadly diseases in the 1 in a million chance their kid develops autism

Autism was around before the MMR vaccine, it's just an excuse for stupid parents to make for their own defunctioning genes and get loads of compensation for it.

It's more likely the child got autism cause they had sex doggy style than cause the child had the MMR.

My daughter was given the MMR just after she was 1. The Doctor kindly put the needle to high up and too high in.

It took a week before the rubella part of the vaccination caused massive inflamation in her hips, a large build up of fluid and an inability to walk without screaming in pain.

This then developed into juvenile arthritis and nobody in Darlington could diagnose this. It took a private appointment with a consultant, Child physio, nurse and Bone specialist to find the cure.

After being set back with her walking by 3 months, I'm glad to say she is free of any further problems.

I'm sure the MMR is safe and would probably give this to our next child, but not in Darlington.

Err that post wasn't even aimed at you before you get on the soap box and shout me down.

I'm referring to the whole MMR - Autism link.

What, because I have a differing view on the situation that other people?

Ultimately it is the parents fault. I'm not saying they could have done anything about it, due to the fact many parents will not have been aware they are carriers of genes that could cause a disease in a child. The point i'm trying to get across is that it is pointless parents shouting "It's the MMR's fault" just because their child has a "special need" that they didn;t want.

It sounds harsh and for the upset I have caused I apologise. I just get angry at the media for making such an issue out of the pretty much zero link between the MMR vaccine which saves lives and a disability.

My apologies, Jon.

Oh yeah everybody pull out the self righteous "I have a friend/sister/relative who has autism, ADHD etc etc" card.

Why is it on this forum people get all uppity if someone actually speaks their mind, doesn;t beat around the bush and just face up to some facts and not be completely consumed by what the media wants you to believe. I don't profess to being a Biology graduate but I know enough to know that these disorders are gene related, it is COMPLETELY and utterly naive to think that MMR is related to autism. Nobody has even proved how.

Fortunately there are people who don;t jump on the bandwagon and actually look at the point I am trying to make, which is entirely correct and just because I put it in a bad way, for which I apologised for nobody acknowledges that, yet they just kick you when you are down.

Instead of getting all emotional can't we have a discussion based on what you think.

I guess seeing as there are so many sensitive females on this forum you can't help but be flamed when you say something direct. Even if compassionately.

If anybody can actually prove that the MMR Vaccine is linked to autism please, please guide me to the info.

I seen your apology there.Thats ok. Its just the way you put it calling parents stupid that i took exception to. As i said my parents dont blame the MMR jab for it cause there isnt any proof your right there. I would like to know where the link for the MMR jab and autism came out of. Nothing wrong with speaking your mind but did you expect people to be alright with it when you where calling them stupid and having dysfunctional genes for it? Having an autistic child is difficult, i have one in the same house as me and its not easy looking after her. And i am sure alot of parents with autistic children would frown upon your earlier comment also.
