Tomorrow I will be re-vaccinated for pertussis, influenza, pneumonia, measles mumps rubella, polio and Hepatitis. There might be one more, I can't remember them all!

Anybody ever done this post-bone marrow or stem cell transplant? Did you have a lot of side effects? I am planning on going about my normal day, but I am wondering how I will fell afterward.

Thanks for any replies.

I'm really glad I found this website/forum. I had a BMT for AML 19 years ago, and had no problems with the re-vaccinations. How did yours go? I am pleased to see that I also share a Jan 5th anniversary date with Lucia's mom and Irapp07. WTG folks, keep going forward! Kevin

I've had two rounds of vaccinations. Ran a temp for about a day after each one, and the last time I could feel it for almost a week. Generally get 2 shots in the left arm and 3 in the right. Go for the third round in June, then one shot in September and the final shot in September '13..

I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
