If they haven't already, I would have them do a whole Lab work up to

see if it isn't something else or if it can give you some

information as to what may be aggrivating it. I had a friend whose

daughter kept vomiting and all her Dr.'s were looking in the wrong

direction. She took her to the ER, they did a Lab work out and

found out she had recieved a tylenol overdose (from the same

hospital after a surgery earlier). She too had vomitted for many

days before it was figured out. Just an idea, and I hope you made

it home for Christmas and that this email is of no use to you

anymore because your home and 's fine.

Have they done xrays? Do you know a good cranial sacral therapist?

It is good to hear from you. I remeber from when we first

joined the group six years ago. Would love to hear an update on her

when she is feeling better.

Take Care,
