i talked with lil'monkey about this.

they are NOT educating the girls about this.

she said most of the girls she knows that got this shot became sexually active AFTER getting it. they think it protects them from ALL STDs.

it was scary reading some of the bullitins on her myspace. over and over posting about having "cold sores" and fighting with people saying cold sores ARE NOT herpes.

Barb, thank you very much for the kind words... things are no better for my daughter. We continue to try to find a doctor to listen. My daughter continues to have seizures and has missed the last three months of her junior year. I have no idea what next school year will bring. We may have to inquire about a cyber school. This is a nightmare.

We are going to another neurologist on July 2nd...who will hopefully listen to our story and try to help my daughter.

((((((Jodi)))))),

This just breaks my heart Our kids are the one asset that we have that is not decreasing in value. You'd think that the medical society, as a whole, and our government would work to protect that asset with their very being ...

I know it can take a long time to diagnose the causes of seizures and longer still to find a drug combination that will work.

There are good Child Neurology and Epilepsy forums
Connect as much as you can with parents on both forums and read as much as you can. The strength of the parents working together is what's going to solve this for you.

There's incredible research being done in the field of epilepsy. Hopefully, through research and through friends, both real-life and cyber, and through your own strength and determination, you will get and keep your daughter strong and healthy so that she's ready for her miracle when it comes.

You have a ton of support standing with you, Jodi. Feel it and rely on it and use it.


We're all praying for healing and health for your daughter and strength for your Mother's heart, Jodi. Bless you both. BIG HUGS.

Barb

Hi NewsBot,
Unfortunately I was told last year that I have the disease. I really don't know that much about it. I went on some web sites to learn what I could. And my Dr. wasn't very helpful when I asked her questions, she acted like it was no big deal. Said we would just watch it. That it could just disappear on it's own. (which I don't getsince the news has made it such a big deal.) For me, having this disease is the least of my problems. When you've all ready been told you have a brain tumor among other things, you start to think well sure, why not! What's one more disease. . . bring it on! I'm not sexually active and don't ever expect to be again. And I've had my kids so I don't have much use for my cervix anyway. Still, I do have a sexually active (adult) daughter and despite this hitting so close to home, I'm not sure I would want her to get the vaccine yet. I know this sounds crazy, but I just don't trust these drug makers any more. It seems like they are so anxious to make money, that they take shortcuts on the testing. And just today there was a commercial on TV that said people are sick & dying after receiving the vaccination Of course this is lawyers looking for clients, can't trust them either I just don't know who to believe or trust anymore.
