New diagnosis

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Thank you all for the information you provide through this group; it is

immensely helpful.

My 13 year old son was diagnosed last week with by an Infectious

Disease doctor. He has been experiencing symptoms for about 2 years. As of

now, we don¹t see a pattern in frequency, but the episodes are definitely

getting closer together.

I have two questions: Is it uncommon for children to start with at 11

years old? It seems I read most children are much younger. And, are the

episodes typically very predictable in frequency? It could be now that his

are getting closer, I will begin to see a pattern. I¹m not sure that¹s good

or bad, knowing what¹s coming considering how uncomfortable it is for the

child.

Thanks for your input,
