Re: Do these symptoms sound familiar?

[Guest guest]

You should make an appointment with Dr since you

are in CT. These symptoms sound very similar to my

son's before he was diagnosed at age 7 (especially the

headache, difficult temperament, stomach pain, itching

body). He's 9 now and still on antibiotics, but is

doing much better. It may be months before Dr J can

get you in, but you should get an appointment now.

Agree. Get her in ASAP. Ask to be put on the cancellation list.

Listen to your intuition. I had the same concerns with my son. He

was an only child and had no one to compare with. He is now 18 and

VERY sick. If I had only acted on my concersn. Ahh, hind sight is

always 20/20.

Thanks for giving me the inspiration to get my head out of the sand and get her

looked at before her condition becomes worse. When her symptoms come and go

(headaches and tummyaches) within an hour, it's easy to ignore them. I so

wanted to believe that this was gone and behind us. Kim
