This is a weird disease and is often misdiagnosed.  In fact it is more the rule than the exception that this is misdiagnosed.My mother came down with it after the flu shots were started. Has your father had the \nflu shot ? The drug companies now have insurance to cover this eventuality. Contact the drug company that made the shot. Maybe they will give you some help with the medical bills. My mother had that over twenty years ago and I didn't know she had had the oral vaccine when it first came out. If I had that knowledge I would have advised her to contact the manufacturer.  As it was my parents did not have Medical insurance. And they used up their life savings paying the hospital bill.  She was hospitalized for a month but that was over 20 yrs. ago when there was no treatment for this disease.  The prognosis is as weird as the disease. It is the only neurology disease that you can fully recover from.  However some people are left with permanent effects that range from a mild limp to paraplegia.That was at the time of the unknown treatment.  My mother was left with a dropped left foot. She had some permanent neuropathy. The treatment should prevent your father from having any permanent residuals.  He is lucky to get it now that it is more recognized. I could go on at length about this disease but this should give you a handle on this polio like disease.

Do NOT get vaccinated.\n\nA vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than  a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.\nThere are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.\nJust sit back and think for a while.\nIs there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.\nWe have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.\n\nThe Vaccination Hoax\nhttp://www.whale.to/b/hoax1.html\n\n\nIf you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at\nhttp://www.vaclib.org/exemption.htm\nYou will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.\n\nIf you want to study the history of vaccination, see\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/vaccination.html

An epidemic is an illness that a lot of people catch, and it can be lots of different things like influenza or polio. Plague is one type of illness, like the black plague, and is also an epidemic if almost everyone catches it.

Sorry to hear about the pain.

Immunisation can be active or passive. Active immunisation is termed vaccination and elicits a response from the body that provides protective immunity. It is long-lasting. Passive immunisation is, in practice, the injection of antibodies to provide short term protection. \nVaccines\nEffective vaccines are:\n\nSafe \nProtective for sustained period \nInduce neutralising antibody \nIn addition they should be:\n\n\nBiologically stable \nCheap to produce \nEasy to administer \nCurrently available vaccines are either:\n\n\nLive (attenuated) \nKilled \nFractionated \nRecombinant \nImmunological Principles of Vaccination\nVaccination is intended to provide long-term protection after its administration. Effector T- and B-cells last only a few days, so the prime requisite of any vaccine is to generate immunological memory. Successful vaccines:\n\nactivate antigen-presenting cells to initiate antigen processing and produce cytokines \nactivate both T and B cells to give a high yield of memory cells \ngenerate Th and Tc cells to several epitopes, to overcome the variation in the immune response in the population due to MHC polymorphism \nenable the persistence of antigen, probably on follicular dendritic cells in lymphoid tissue, to elicit continued production of antibody from B cells. \nWhole organism vaccines tend to have these abilities. Subunit vaccines can be enhanced to produce these results by the use of adjuvants, such as alum.

Globally, public health agencies have implemented policies to help prevent and control typhoid.  These include improved sanitation, safe drinking water, and good medical care.  In some communities those goals are too lofty and some believe that vaccination for high risk populations is the best way.  There are currently two vaccines in common use.\n\nTo better understand prevention, you need to study the disease itself.  Typhoid is caused by a virulent and invasive bacterium called Salmonella typhi.  This bacteria spreads through contaminated food or water and occasionally through direct contact with someone that is already infected.  In developing countries, the cause is generally poor santitation and contaminated drinking water.  Industrialized countries usually see typhoid when a traveler brings it back from a trip and then spreads it to others via the fecal-oral route.\n\nTo personally protect yourself from typhoid you can avoid traveling to areas that are endemic to the disease.  If you do travel, consider taking the vaccine.  While the vaccine is useful, it isn't 100% so it is advised that you wash your hands frequently, avoid untreated water (drink bottled or canned water, carbonated water is best, wipe all bottles and cans before using, no ice, bottled water when brushing teeth, etc.), avoid raw fruits and vegetables, choose cooked foods.

As you probably already know... Tetanus is:\n\nTetanus [TET-nus] is a condition that affects the nervous system and causes painful, uncontrolled muscle spasms. \nPeople get tetanus when spores of the tetanus bacteria enter the body through an open wound and produce a powerful nerve poison. Tetanus spores are found throughout the environment, usually in soil, dust, and animal waste. \nTetanus is preventable through immunization. Because of widespread use of tetanus vaccine, the condition is now rare. I know that most doctors almost INSIST that senior citizens keep up to date on their tetanus shots.\n\nNOw...The first signs of tetanus infection are usually a headache and spasms or cramping of the jaw muscles (lockjaw). As the poison spreads, it progressively attacks more groups of muscles, causing spasms in the neck, arms, legs, and stomach, and sometimes violent convulsions (seizures... remember that the key word here is SPASMS

I'm nervous about them all! My son has all of his vaccinations, but he is a child who was developing normally until 1 1/2 years of age, and then developed symptoms of autism. He regressed and so we had to start over again in terms of speech and communication. So I'm not really sure! Its kinda scary, but at the same time, its scary to not allow the vaccinations as well.

Vaccine info: http://vaccineinfo.net/immunization/vaccine/rsv/index.shtml\nDefinately speak to his doctor about it.\nMy son had it when he was a baby (know how scary it can be).  Hope your little guy makes it though the season safely.
