How are you and your daughter doing Mama?

[Astrogirl]

Amy, we are doing well. She is sick right now (I think a cold, it seems) but other than that, its a faint memory for her.

We still don't have any answers. I dont have a good enough grasp of the language to do much, so I'm trying to recruit people to help advocate for us. It might be a lengthy process.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes and advice. We will definitely keep working on getting some answers and making sure its reported as a vaccine adverse reaction. I am told there is a system for doing that here and have someone looking into it for me.

We are definitely changing peds. This is the hardest one because this will be our third ped and we are moving further out from our village. The first ped was 10 mins away, this last one was 20 mins away and the next closest ped is a 40 min drive into the mountains (but i'm told he is REALLY good). *sigh*

Do you have to see a ped? Are there family practicioners? Or regular doctors that will see the whole family? I would be inclined to find a new doc in your area that isn't a ped. I do hope you look into hiring a translator to help you with all and anything to deal with this- family and frineds can get lost in the emotionn of translating.

I'm glad to hear that DD isn't suffering lingering effects of the vaxes, and that aside from this cold things are going well. I hope she continues to be her wonderful self!

This totally happened to me when I was 16 and had allergy testing. I don't consider it anaphyaxis since I had no respiratory issues other than slight respiratory depression (usually it's angioedema and severe respiratory issues). I was nervous about the testing. I was given multiple injections, on the third one I remember saying "I told you I didn't want to do this" and slumped over. I was pale, sweaty and freaking out staff (most, if not all, office staff are not RN's so they don't really know what to do in that situation). I was given my epi shot just as I started to feel better so I couldn't tell them to stop.

It was all in my head. I went pale within the first half hour of my, large, back tattoo. It was something new, I didn't know what to expect and although I'm a pretty tough chick it freaked me out at first. After a break, and some Gatoraide, I was fine and handled the five hours of work with a smile.

Your situation and the OP's daughter's situations are completely different.

So glad she's feeling better (minus the cold

Yay for friends to translate help you navigate through the system, it's hard enough in the same language I think so that is a big help:

Like you said what you experienced was not anaphalyxsis (ok how do you spell that neither one looked right LOL) It sounds like what you had was a panic attack. Way different from what happened here.
