Are measels, mumps and rubella vaccines available separately?
It's been a huge fight with the old lady because I do not want my some to get the MMR

I dunno but I doubt it, Zip...& I feel your concerns!
I'd rather be vaccinated against rabies than most of the ones they have out there now & REQUIRE you to get for your children!

I don't know for sure but I can find out.
I did not have to take the MMR vaccinations as I had all three of these diseases before I was 5 years old.
I have given thousands of these. Never seen any reactions. Though I have take care of some whom supposedly had reactions.
I got no problem with my kids getting the vaccinations.
Though I have to admit it pisses me off being " forced " to by the school, little hitler bastards.

I would call my PCP ( primary care physician ) and ask him if you have concerns. Frankly I understand the concerns, but as a father of four and a grandfather, I feel that the concerns are over blown.
There is a certain percentage of the population that can have a severe reaction to any medications up to & including death.
Not to down play at all the concerns of parents whom have had their children harmed by vaccination. But honestly you stand a much higher risk of being hit by lightning or choking on a corn dog.
Vaccinations should be by choice.
But for the present, it is what it is.

Damn! MORE poisons to the system!
I suppose the theory is to shock the system into a state of health?

The Tylenol is to reduce chances of fever and discomfort related to the vaccination. It is an attenuated virus but still a virus.
Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aspirin.
It does not matter which.
Aspirin gets a bad rap from the drugo-phoebes, but it is naturally occurring.
Even the native American tribes knew of aspirin from willow bark.
Tylenol ( acetaminophen ) is hipatotoxic. ( kills your liver )
Big money is the only reason it has not been banned from the market.

Anything wrong with Sodium Naproxen? That my favorite so far.
That is, until I grow a giant tumor or the like.

Also metabolized by the liver ( as are most drugs ) but to my knowledge it is safe for occasional use.
I prefer aspirin myself.
Though I do use ibuprofen for it's anti inflammatory properties.
Man if your taking anything several times a day every day. You have to wonder what the end game will be.
I hate taking my thyroid med every morning. But if I don't I feel like crap and get to be a real asshole.

I always wonder what caused the problem in the first place. I mean, do I HAVE an 'aspirin deficiency?' Does my system REQUIRE Tylenol or Ibuprofin to get by?
I think not!
Are the side affects worth the drug? Only when it's used for recreation! (I'm being facetious!)
Liver & kidney prob's are caused by these 'treatments.' What other prob's will be caused down the road? No one knows, cuz they haven't really been around all that long, for the daily user.
I won't be a daily user of anything, EVER! Not even the BP crap. I won't ever become a slave to the pharmaceutical machine that so many Americans succumb to.
