New to group-- Mayo Clinic?

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

My name is Kathy and our son Jens has been diagnosed with . At

about 18 months he began having fevers every other week. Our

pediatrician treated him for ear infections, viruses, sent us to ENT,

had tubes put in his ears, had him stay home and " rest " for two weeks,

etc... We were told to have his tonsils out when he was just 2 years

old and I said " no more surgical treatments until we find out what is

behind all of these periodic fevers! "

He is now 30 months old and had a three months without fever from July

to October 2006 due to cimedine. The fevers, however, have now come

back with a vengeance-- every 10-12 days and lasting for nearly 5 days.

He does respond to the one dose prednisone, but we were told to use it

conservatively.

Has anyone taken their kids to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester for

evaluation? It is close to us and there are world renowned in other

areas of health care. I just don't know if they work on .

Kathy
