A Sister's Love

Hello Bloggers, It has been a bit since I reported a new drug or have given info on side effects. Please forgive me. While reading a report on the CDC's website I came across a report that is very dear to my heart. Those of you that know me may remember me talking about my fathers battle with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Today I was doing research on the topic and have come across an article from the CDC stating that there may be a link between Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and taking the flu shot. The article talks about finding from an increased number of cases reported in 1976 after patients taking the flu shot for the swine flu epidemic of 1976. Please feel free to read up on this particular subject it may interest you. If anyone out there has any questions about Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) please feel free to give me a call or shoot me a message.

Good Day Readers, After a doctors appointment for my daughters regular vaccines. I sat down and had a chat with the doctor about the Gardasil shot. Most doctors would like for you to immunize your girls with this new injection. It supposedly will protect against HPV ( human papillomavirus). So first let me tell you alittle about this drug. This injection only helps protect against 4 types of HPV's. It protects against types 6, 11, 16 and 18. HPV Types 6 and 11 cause about 90% of genital warts cases in females and males. HPV Types 16 and 18 cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases in females. HPV Types 16 and 18 also cause about 70% of vaginal cancer cases and up to 50% of vulvar cancer cases in females. Gardasil is suggested to be given to children before they have encountered sexually activity, however if on is already sexually active you can still get immunized.. Gardasil is not only a vaccine for females it is also for males too. Doctors...
