Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 I too have a son who developed shingles - at 11 years old. He had chickenpox when he was about 3 or 4 years old, colic as a baby followed by many ear infections and allergies to penicillin, ceclor, and sulfa drugs, diagnosed with casein allergy at 5 years old, and many many bouts of strep as a preteen and teen. Now, M is 19 and struggling with depression. He was diagnosed with ADD a couple years ago. He is tired all the time, unmotivated, and full of self loathing. He feels he doesnt fit in anywhere. He also happens to be good looking, extremely bright, and a really wonderful caring person. This is so frustrating and scary. We've been seeing Dr. DeMio in Ohio and he is trying a variety of supplements but so far none seem to be helping a whole lot. Three other children with varying issues seem to be doing extemely well though - so why this one child is not is a bit of a mystery. -- Kim Blessed to be wife to Bob-26 years, mom to -25, -22, Matt-19, Tim-16, Luke-10, and -9 " How can you say that there are too many children; that's like saying there are too many flowers.
