To my knowledge, microbial infection can cause this. The most common is Yersinia

infection which will respond to Flagyl.

Thank goodness for your persistance girl, good going. You know if

you didn't continue with the determination that you have, not only

for yourself, but mainly for your children, the next diagnosis you

would have had from these doctors would be " hypochondriac " or worse

because the doctor wasn't diligent enough to continue his

examination. I can understand this diagnosis for some of us, because

they don't understand and they don't have the answers for more than

3 symptoms, but I can't understand this when it comes to children.

How and why would they be making this stuff up?

I did a little bit of research myself last nite , even though I

didn't get back with you (late) I am so sorry you are having to deal

with this now too, but at least you have an answer and that's half

the battle. This illness acute mesenteric adenitis there is

definately one thing that I do not understand, why does this seem to

occur after a battle or two of upper respiratory infections,

according to research, several that I had read. This just seems to

be very odd and since many of us are dealing with inflammation of

the lymph nodes everywhere else, why not in that location also. I

was looking at some x-rays last night on just this and these type of

pains seem like they could be misdiagnosed in females for these

reason (and I'm not only speaking of your daughter , but many

others that have had pain in that area) adhesions, ovaries, of

course appendix, gall bladder, but what they did show was about 5

swollen lymph nodes that were retaining fluid.

As far as milk thistle, with the positive results that many have had

on this board, again it is great for the liver and kidneys, I don't

know if it would help this or these pains. But as well as it works,

it surely couldn't hurt.

, please keep us informed.

problems with her stomach.

can. The feeling I have is kind of like when we found out we had

mold. NOT A CLUE!!!! I feel like I have to know everything about

it, before taking her there. So, I figured maybe some you had been

diagnosed with this, or maybe knew someone who had. Just so I would

have extra knowledge before going in blind about it as I am now.

They have the tea at health food store, and she loves tea. (can't

take pills)

We finally got her a multi-vitamin with enzymes in it,(liquid) which

she has taken for 3 days now, and she has not gotten sick. This

after about 15 different vitamins.

KC,

It is a shame that they don't use all the testing available to them. She is

in alot of pain when she gets an onset of this. Not to mention the vomiting,

diarrhea, and other symptoms she gets and has everyday. It seems to me that

if you have been to the ER several times for the same thing, and severe pain

in the appendix area, that it would be common to do a CAT scan. But, guess

not. It was like I wanted to subject her to radiation or something. Like I

was a bad parent for wanting it done. Funny I had to tell the doctor what

needed to be done. Then we had the diagnosis. You have to go to the

hospital and doctors office equipped for a battle, just save ourselves and

our children.

You mention upper respitory, and I found that too. However, she had not had

any upper resp. infection, or a cold for that matter. They had done x-rays

the last few times we had been in, but they did not pick this up for some

reason.

I can't understand it all either. All I know is with the help of all of you

and myself hopefully we can make her better. She will see the doctor today

at 4:15. We'll see what he has to say.

Thank you all for your help and kind words. I have not been able to tell my

parents yet, as my father was admitted to ER last week with extremely high

blood pressure, and they are concerned he will have a stroke if it is not

kept down. Because of his love for my children, I need to wait to tell him,

until he is better-so that his blood pressure will not sky rocket. I am

soooooo happy I have all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
