Paige got her 5 year shots last Wed. Upon picking her up from school, she had tons of energy and as she opened the car door to get in, said oh yeah, mom I have a headache! I still had some IB in the car, so I immediately gave it to her. Went home she had just a tad bit of fever and acted very very tired, so she went to bed at 615p and slept till 615a. Was fine on Thurs and Friday, I noticed her leg was hugely sollen and had a red rash all over. Saturday she swam and played hard all day. Sunday she was tired, slept for an hour and woke with a really bad headache and tummy ache, she finally felt better about 4pm and played fine. Then she woke at 3A with a 102.8 fever, I gave IB and Tylenol, she woke up at 6a and felt 100% fine, she battled the fever for the day, although she felt just fine. It finally kicked Monday night and still is fine.
Obviously she had some sort of reaction to the shot, although the doc office says it is normal.
Her tonsils and sinuses were swollen, and he thinks she definitely has some allergy problems, hence maybe the cause of some of her headaches. So we are giving her children's claritin to see if that helps things a bit. I expected her to get a cold, the way she was acting, but nothing showing so far!
I also have a lump under my armpit and saw my doc, he thinks it is just a cyst, but will give it 4-6 weeks to see if it goes away and if not then he will take it out and have it tested.
No more doctors please!

It must be something with girls and vaccinations - Sophia has a reaction to EVERY.single.shot! Garrett, never had anything more than the pokey mark and maybe some rosy cheeks - he never got sick or rashy or fevered after shots.
Poor Paige - nothing like a great birthday with some pain-in-the-youknowwhat shots to go with it. Hopefully, the claritin will help with allergies and the reaction to the shots.
