Damn and BUGGER. Its like my kids catch something when I am LOOKING in the vaccination threads! Last time they both got mumps, now just when I was chasing Schmickers posts about MMR, Elizabeth is covered in spots!
Anyhoo, I'd like to take her to see someone (that won't lecture me!) about treating her, I can't get into the BB Centre until Thursday - can anyone recommend somewhere else I can try?
She is in very good spirits apart from bouts of shirtyness, but I will be watching like a hawk for any changes.
Lulu- There is a Dr in Eltham that is not pro vacc, right into alternative therapies including homeopathic vaccination. I will phone a friends and get her name for you........ brb
ok, her name is Dr Pam Dagley. Might be worth a shot.
Are you sure its measles, not german measles? There has been virtuallly no measles for years, the health dept will be talking isolation etc and i think its mandatory notification no matter who you see...
How far can u travel..Nicole who works at BB also works out of Park Orchards Mon-Wed I think, if shes not on holidays
Yeah, its looks like classic Measles - all the symptoms are there. The spots took a while to come out but here they are now.
I'm trying to track back when she got it. Beth has minimal contact with other kids and I don't put her in child care if she has sniffles (that's usually the start of something), pity no one else can do the same .
I was getting a little bit antsy because dad rung the other day to tell me there is a Measles outbreak in the UK. One of the premises that I don't vacc is healthy eating and good immune system...but DS seems to catch everything around and twice as bad as everyone else gets it and it had me thinking about preventative measures. Of course DS is showing NO SIGNS at all!
When they had Mumps, I knew more about the treatment than the Dr did and the Health Dept were really happy with my knowledge and approach to treatment. I think I'll call them directly myself. I can't be bothered having another Dr climbing out the window about it all.
Thanks for that ladies, I will chase those up.
and for a Punching Bag moment.....for the 5 days straight I have managed to have her sleeping issues under control. I have been a well rested NEW woman...and now this! Dp is taking DS up to his mums so I can keep her nice and quiet and rested.
lulu- there is a lady who works at McAdams square at croydon hills that people absoutely rave about. i've never been to her but she's supposed to be fantastic.
Measles! Need a Naturopath in Eastern Suburbs!
