Re: Tylenol, Fevers, & Chickenpox
WOW! Thank you so much for posting this. I read some of it, and will go through more thoroughly later. (it's not exactly light reading!)
We vaxed our first, stopped midway through with our second (our ped just thinks we are behind.. so I still have that conversation ahead of me) and are nervously comtemplating NOT vaxing our third, due in Dec. This is such great and detailed info--not only about vaxing, but also Tylenol and Ibuprofen. I knew a lot of natural minded folk didn't use them, but I had never seen a really thorough explanation of why. Good stuff to think about. Thanks! |

Re: Tylenol, Fevers, & Chickenpox
Yes, Rachael, thanks SO much for posting this. I was on the cusp of vaccinating ds against chickenpox and MMR, having vaxed up to these last shots due to marital turmoil (afraid ds would have to go into daycare, fear of eh using the non-vaxing stance against me), and reading posts such as this makes me feel brave enough to stand my ground that I do NOT want to get these last 2 shots. My ped just thinks we're behind, too.

Re: Tylenol, Fevers, & Chickenpox
this is awesome info! I have this fear of giving my sick children tylenol....I really do feel it prolongs the sickness and is fighting against instead of with their little immune systems....this does mean, however, that I have to stay close by and try to actively comfort them more than if they were on meds the whole time..I have some friends who go through bottle after bottle of tylenol when it is cold and flu season....YIKES! Their kids go to church and school sick because after all they can keep going if the tylenol is administered every four hours. this has got to be unhealthy. Sorry, I don't mean to roast people, its just that I am the one considered weird because I will let my child run a fever and stay in bed and be a little more uncomfortable. But, I think it is time this info got out and that doctors start being honest with parents instead of afraid of them.

Re: Tylenol, Fevers, & Chickenpox
Awesome articles! My cousin just told me about Hilary Butler a few months ago and I love her writing!
And I've been called a meanie by friends for not giving ds Tylenol when he has a fever.

Re: Tylenol, Fevers, & Chickenpox
O Wow! I am trippin'!
Last time dd had a fever, I told DH that God made our bodies to get hotter to fight off infection...wasn't it kind of a moot point to give her something to get rid of the fever? (as I went ahead and made him happy by giving her tylenol) I had no idea that I was actually on to something with that though and that God was setting me up to read this stuff and be like, "Ah hah! See! I'm not goofy!" Anyway, thank you for posting this! I'll be sure to share with DH....and many others! Mandy

Re: Tylenol, Fevers, & Chickenpox
Great info!!! Thanks so much. My SIL's DD had a fever and her ped prescribed Motrin and Tylenol to be given AT THE SAME TIME!!!!! Can you believe it???? I told her to stop giving it to her, obviously. She knows I am a natural-minded momma who doesn't give conventional meds so she was quick to ask me my opinion. Some peds are just flat out nuts!!!

Re: Tylenol, Fevers, & Chickenpox
A ped (not my regular one - it was a weekend and she kindly saw him in the office on off hours so we would not have to go to the ER) did that when ds had a severe cold, more like a flu, this last winter...she said the same thing about Tylenol, Motrin, a decongestant, and cough medicine all at once!!
