which vaccines would cause s/th like that?

the first (well, second, but the first in this series) time it happened, was the night after a vaccine, but they dont think it was caused by the vaccines

How old was your son at the time of the seizure which followed vaccinations? I had a similar story...

thanks new amother. It kind of sounds like my son, but the first time it happened to him was at about 6 months and not related to shots. the second time was at a year and the night of shots. they dont want to medicate him because he is doing so well and so adorable and looks so healthy. (I would post a picture, but not blowing my cover). He is bH walking now at 18 months and is totally interacting and smart, kah.

the whole parsha is so scary and not knowing is even scarier. I really thought maybe he was outgrowing it...

Like 3 days after his first birthday. how old was your son? and which vaccines. when I asked in the ER the next morning, they said "well, in an easy answer, no." but that was after hemming and hawing. I am going to ask the neurologist when we go to her

My son was 7 weeks old - I forgot which shots he had then. My Dr. told me it is not related to the vaccine, but I have trouble believing that. Also, he did not have fever. Sometimes, shots cause fever which can trigger a seizure, but that was not the case with my son.
