Hmmmm..... so you have had LOTS of vaccines over the years?

Which ones? Can you list them here?

Vaccines are one trigger for PN, and autoimmune disease.
http://www.whale.to/a/neuropathy.html
Today vaccines contain substances that are called adjuvants, these stimulate the immune system, and in some people this becomes excessive and damaging. Vaccines can also have contaminants in them. One of the most dramatic forms of neuropathy is Guillain–Barré syndrome. But many less acute forms exist as long term issues for people who inherit the over-reactive immune system. Many doctors will not broach vaccine injury as a cause, because they don't want to get involved. Large clinics in general have "beliefs" and the doctors who work there all follow the rules. Example of Mayo and its hesitation to use narcotic pain management.
One vaccine that was hugely damaging was the Lyme vaccine.
When enough people present all at once like for the Lyme vaccine it is more obvious. But the process of this damage remains a potential for anyone receiving vaccines today. I will have a link explaining surface antigens in the recipient of vaccines...soon. This was the problem with Lyme vaccine and Hep B. The Lyme vaccine caused degenerative arthritis in certain people who genetically had certain markers in their blood.

This is long and you have to watch it all to find what you want/need for complete understanding.

This is our subforum:

I am gathering information for a vaccine thread on the subforum in the next few days.
Here are some links that will be on it for you to consider now:

parts 2, 3, and 4, are on there too. I suggest you watch them all.

One doctor's opinion on why doctors don't understand vaccine injury:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_3_N...eature=related
The doctor on this YouTube is quite emotional about this subject, and ventures a comment on nurses giving invasive vaccines and the doctors not even being present! I'd add now that people today go to
pharmacies for vaccines..a common advertisement of chain drug stores to make more money....and these people NEVER see a doctor or NURSE. They walk out the door, and that's it.

As for the elevated ANA being benign? I don't agree. I think it is the beginning of something long term for you. There are people here who had significant problems with normal ANA and didn't get positive results until later. ANA can test pos/neg and go back and forth. In someone with symptoms, it should be monitored regularly.
