Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hi , I don't think it is very rare for that age at all! Children between 3 and 6 can have all kinds of stresses hit them at those ages. Preschool, maybe parents getting new jobs. My son is 4 1/2, and my brother is dying of cancer. He knows he is very sick, and heard us mention dying. He is now talking about it quite a bit, and he has daytime frequent urination. I mean sometimes up to 5 to 6 times an hour, but not at night. His preschool teacher has also told us about it. Here is a link on it. http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/pa/pa_urinary_hhg.htm I'm sure OCD type behavior can also crop up. I'm not saying vaccines do not play a part, because my son has vaccine induced Asperger's Syndrome, and he is very OCD. Many children with Autism and ADHD are also very OCD. It is all part of the same picture. Could you find out for sure if the child has just been vaccinated? > Hi! > > I just got an email from a friend inquiring about Obsessive Compulsive > Disorder and vaccines.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hi Sandy, checked that out! , if you are reading sorry I didn't get back to you, and thanks!! We were more worried about a UTI, actually he can't go most of the time, and when he does it is only small amounts. He is not thirsty, in fact, I don't think he drinks enough. Even so, he had a urine culture with no growth, so now, he will be going for some blood work. Oh Joy!! Doctor ordered Bactrim, but with no growth, no fever, or pain upon urinating. I'm not going to put him on it. We will see what the blood work brings. I really do think it is psychological. He does have bouts with constipation now and then, which could also affect the bladder. Thanks, > not trying to frighten. But is he also very thirsty? Just checking cause I > know frequent urination can be a sign of diabetes. > Re: Question about OCD & Vaccines > > > > Hi , I don't think it is very rare for that age at all!
