LO has been really fussy off and on so I am wondering if it is just making him not feel well in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/varicella-reaction#post-931591 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 09:25:27 +0000 anbanan15 931591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO did fine with the vaccine, but we separated it from any other immunizations because I am allergic to it. </p> <p>I developed what looked like shingles, low bp that caused me to nearly pass out, headaches, got very ill, etc. I know my reaction started within ~24 hours, but I can't remember all the details because it was nearly 15 years ago and I was a younger teen. I just know they said I was allergic and couldn't get the second dose or the vaccine in the future...I've never had the chicken pox either and I have no antibodies for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/varicella-reaction#post-931560 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 09:19:24 +0000 prettylizy 931560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same thing, it took a little over a week for the injection site to not be bumpy and red. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/varicella-reaction#post-931541 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 09:11:49 +0000 littlebittyhouse 931541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else? Reaction site is now a bruise - we have an appt with the pedi at 1pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/varicella-reaction#post-924227 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:39:34 +0000 littlebittyhouse 924227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: yep totally normal. He reacts to all his vaccinations so we usually only do two at a time. Just didn't expect side effects ten days later ya know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/varicella-reaction#post-924177 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:28:46 +0000 loveisstrange 924177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If im not mistaken, those are all relatively normal side effects. </p> <p>The possible mild side effects include redness, stiffness, and soreness at the injection site, as well as fever. A few people may develop a mild rash which usually appears around the shot's area.[13] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/varicella-reaction#post-924167 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:26:08 +0000 littlebittyhouse 924167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your LO have a reaction to the varicella vaccine?</p> <p>We got the vaccine 9 days ago and when I got home from work I noticed the injection site is red and bumpy:/ LO also has a low grade fever (99.7) and is uber fussy. </p>
