NHS referrals - metabolics, brain scan, eeg.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We saw the paed. yesterday (3rd visit ever) - I went in with v. few

expectations.

We mentioned the following: he regressed several times when he got ill (colds,

gut) and didn't regain progress on recovery; he " zones " in and out; that we've

worked hard on him immune system to avoid illness (and regressions), which is

going well, and that we've had gains on scd/antibiotics coinciding with gut

recovery.

She said she was concerned that this might be something metabolic (!) and that

she'd like to do some metabolic testing, at which point I showed her his most

recent H & B and OAT.

She looked at them, asked to copy to fwd to metabollic team, then said she'd

like to make the follow referals:

1) metabolic team;

2) brain scan;

3) eeg;

4) forward all results to GOSH and refer him there.

I think this is a result, but also terrified at the implications! I pressed her

for what she might be looking for - eeg for seizure activity - we don't have

seizures to my knowledge - other wise she couldn't specify.

Does anyone know what they might be looking for?

Thanks in advance for any comments,
