Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 My daughter, who will be 9 in April, was diagonosed with when she was 4. The doctor said that by the time she was 6 we would notice the fevers slowing down - and sure enough she was sick on her 6th birthday and then only had small fevers ever since. About 6 months ago the entire cycle of fevers started back - and she has had the fever, sore throat, mouth sores and swollen glands like clockwork. Has anyone else ever experienced a break and then had the fevers return? I am so frustrated! We took her to the doctor during the last two episodes because the body aches were so severe - we were HOPING she had something else (like strep or something that would respond to meds) - the first time they thought she had a sinus infection and gave her antibiotics - which did nothing. The second time they were sure it was strep - the quick test came back negative but they sent it to the lab - and gave her antibiotics - then the long test came back negative. The doctor was shocked because she was SURE it was strep. My daughter didn't respond to the antibiotics either time. I don't know for sure if the doctor actually believes in the diagnosis - my father - who is an Endocrinologist out of town is the one who originally diagnosed her - and I took a lot of paperwork in to our Pediatricia that my Dad sent me - he said he was CERTAIN of HIS diagnosis of her - and the Pediatrician somewhat reluctantly agreed. I'm just curious if there are others out there who had a break and then had the fevers return?
