Re: Does travel cause 'illness'?

[Guest guest]

I do not know for sure, but Grace always seems to be sick when we are busy. Before I quit working to stay home with her, she always had a cold or something. Now with a more relaxed environment she rarely gets ill. I've always took it as a stress thing.

Best wishes

Stacey,

I have noticed in that if we travel in the car or go out

in public too much she gets sick. Part is the immunity factor and

part is pure exhaustion. Over-stimulation with her causes her to get

cranky, exhausted and sometimes a low grade temp. With rest and a

day or two to chill, she usually gets better.

Thanks. It's so hard putting all the pieces together and deciding

whether to visit family or not, knowing that he'll probably get sick

if we do but we don't have any family living near us. We normally

don't even take him out to the grocery store but that's more to avoid

germs.

Is it known/surmised/wondered about that fatigue causes fevers

with mito? I've been wondering about this because fevers have been an

issue with Sheldon.

Ditto.....this happens with as well. Even a very short 10 min car ride is to much sometimes. Her body temp fluctuates terribly after taking her out even for the shortest time and she wont even go to walmart or the grocery any more because it has just become to much. She used to love to go visit the toy isle in walmart with her powerchair or go out to eat but she cries when we mention it now. is 13....14 may 3.

You are not alone.

Colby, always gets sick when we travel. He usually vomits or gets into trouble respiratory wise. We've visited out of state ER's. I takes him about a week to get back to himself once we get home. He get's very fatigued, and cries over nothing and everything.

Good Luck

Have any of you noticed that travel can cause mito kids to get

sick? It always seems like Sheldon gets sick after we travel and

I'm wondering if he's not actually sick with an illness but maybe

it's just the mito causing symptoms because he's so tired. Two

days after we made a 2 1/2 hour day trip to see my parents last

week Sheldon was sick with a 104.5 temp and diarrhea and then

a cough. Can fatigue cause a fever with these kids? Sheldon so

often has a temp around 100.3 but I think his 'normal' temp is

much lower than that. Is the travel itself more than his body can

handle? Dr. has said that any stress on their bodies is

tough on them. We've been so careful with him since he was in

the hospital, keeping him home and away from germs and it

always seems like once we relax the restrictions he gets sick

again and doesn't do well for his teachers.
