YES.  diseases are becoming bigger and badder as we get older.  even if you were imunized as a child, a different strand could be out there and you could get it.  sad but true.  same with chicken pox.

Hey Sam, I have had crohn's for 15 + yrs. I know how you feel. Those who have never had this disease will not. I have tried probiotics, aloe vera juice, fish oil, jordan rubins program, you name it its been through my system (not always pleasantly). I am currently on Remicade and have been for over a year. It has put me into remission. I also believe it is an auto immune disease whether caused by man or environment I'm not sure. I have had many days where I feel like crap & often have deep thoughts of this disease. I do know hereditary is a factor as I can prove by most of my relation having ms, ra, lupus & crohn's. Do you have a good dr? If not find one even one who specializes in homeopathy can help. I wish you luck in finding a miracle we all are looking for!

You must contact your GP. If its convenient take a friend along for support. As far as I know back-dated sickness lines are valid- after all you could have been in a coma for the previous week. Failing that, insist on a home visit from your GP. 'Phone or write to your employer-they may be unsympathetic but it shows you have been trying to manage the conduct of your abscence. Assuming you get a long-term sickness note, (even two weeks), use the time to make a note of the demands made on you and why you consider them unreasonable. Contact your union rep or professional representative- they should be able to give you legal advice and support in any tribunal. It is the duty of your employer to ensure safe and secure working conditions for you and this certainly includes work-related stress. You will probably not lose your job, so do not worry on that account. So get in touch with your GP first, you'll feel alot better having made that first step. Remember stress is an illness, as much as flu, measles, chickenpox etc, it can and does happen to anyone and its NOT a sign of weakness! Good Luck!

Yes, there are. Autism rears it' ugly head too often shortly after receiving immunizations, I believe around 15 months, it's believed to be because of the MMR vaccine. But, I don't immunize, and my son has autism, so it's not exclusively from immunizations. He had signs from birth. That and the fact that it's very common to see autism in more than one family member, suggests that it can also be a genetic issue, too. The fact is, nobody knows for sure what causes it. But, when you look at the fact that thimerosol was heavily used as a preservative in immunizations, I believe around '98(don't quote me on that one, I learned all this a year ago so I might have the dates wrong) and we had a huge autism epidemic in 2000, you kind of have to raise your brow. I had a link that showed a study that was suppressed that says basically the amount of mercury in the MMR vaccine was so high, that it would only be safe if you were over 500lbs! Because this kind of information would cause an uproar, and would probably cause the immunization makers to go bankrupt when everyone stopped using them, it's not something that the CDC or anyone else is going to admit to until we've been poisoning our kids for another 30 years and they can get their facts. I will see if I can find that link about that study, I was infuriated to know that they found out about this six years ago and didn't share it with the rest of us. Just a side note: some believe that if everyone stopped vaccinating that all these diseases would take over. Well, it's a little known fact that when the immunizations first started, the diseases that kids were being immunized for had already been decreasing in new cases for YEARS. So, we really don't have any conclusive info on whether or not these immunizations are effective or not.\n\n\n\nI found more info. http://www.nomercury.org/science/documents/compare_ethyl_and_methyl.pdf\n\ngo here to see how they compare the mercury that's in thimerosol with the mercury the health industry admits is dangerous. There is no difference, as they claim.\n\nNow, go here to see how mercury can affect children. It doesn't speicifically say autism on this one, but it covers a lot of the typical symptoms of autism.\nhttp://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts46.html\n\nthis website seems to have a lot of info on autism.\nwww.mothering.com

Get to a Doc, don't delay.\nIt could either be Meneres or M.S.\nEither way there's treatment for both.\nGet yourself checked out by someone qualified

If you don't get the full series of shots, you won't develop the immunity.  Even after getting the whole series, some people will need boosters after a few years.  \n\nI recommend borrowing the money if possible, because if you don't, you'll have thrown away what you paid for the first shot.  Good luck!

Not everyone gets it hun. You may be lucky and already be immune to it if you have been in close contact to someone who had it, eg a sibling. And it's not just young kids who get it... I had it aged 26!!

The effect of MMR (and many other vaccinations also) diminish after a certain period. The effective duration of MMR vaccination is about 10 years or more. For children, the risk of catching measles after MMR is rare.\nRecovering from chicken pox, however, should allow the body to retain enough immunity against chicken pox, so chicken pox is  one-time thing. Moreover, chicken pox in adults are nearly asymptomatic.

yes you can...\nOnly one serotype of mumps virus exists. In general, natural infection confers lifelong protection against the virus, but recurrent mumps attacks have been reported.

Firstly...to the practice nurse \nAn absent minded practice nurse has caused endless uncertainties concerning my Autistic 4yr old sons health and his future imms.\nI believe his ASD is related to the MMR...\nhowever, if any research were to be done on him would anyone come to\nany conclusive evidence when the dopey nurse who gave him the MMR and Prevenar at the same time forgot to note which leg she administered each vaccine?\nThe problem being is that he had localised reactions to both...one being much more severe than the other. Now ignorant people like yourself are trying to pressure me into getting his school entry MMR and DTP on the basis of no evidence that there is not a link between the two.\nWho are the small minded people? The parents or the GMC and NHS?\n\nSecondly...to the doctor\nWhat the tabloids printed actually came from a Doctors mouth in the first place.\nI don`t remember Dr Andrew Wakefield ever denying saying anything that was published...if he had, would the GMC be charging him with 4 counts of misconduct?\nIs this just another stunt to draw the attention away from the real issue..the MMR?\n\nAnd finally, being a little less judgemental of us parents could go a long way towards a step in the right direction...whatever the findings might end up to be.

Lots of rubbish answers here, sorry Mr/Mrs Asker.\n\nIf the answerers actually read the question - the asker isn't looking for what to do normally to keep his health in check - but wants to know what to do on the occasions it goes a bit AWOL, as happens to all of us now and again.\n\nI'm type 1, so can't help you here (it seems a lot easier to deal with short term probs like this when you're on injections), but it seems you'll be better off speaking to your doc as people don't seem to be able or willing to answer.
