As for your current dilemna - " B " said it all - above. That's what I'd do personally - call the famous doc & see what he or she would suggest & if they can see your son sooner... If not, he or she may know of another doc who also treats along the same lines who may be able to see your son sooner and/or hospitalize / treat him. Also meant to mention to you that I read an article (Dr. Gott, I believe) in paper a few months back about " tick paralysis. " My daughter did not experience this (primarily autonomic problems), but it occurred to me that I had not mentioned this in my email to you. Have website link on tick paralysis in Australia & an ANTI-TICK SERUM they use - this is a veterinary site but, honestly, I have not found much difference in K-9s & humans when it comes to these diseases. (This site states that they do NOT use antibiotics - rather the anti-tick serum... Interesting, hu?) If anyone would like link, just say the word, I'll zap it to you... Know that we're sending positive, healing thoughts & prayers your way! Blessings & velcros, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 Dear Pam, Call Dr. J's office (I hope you meant New Haven) and talk to them. Tell them the situation. Might take you immediately as an emergency. Eileen, NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 Hi Pam, I agree with the others...I would call the pediatric LLMD immediately and tell him what is going on. Hopefully he will see your son sooner...plead with him if you have to. Good Luck, Joan LI NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its worth a try . If hes anything like my daughters specialist he'll understand and can probably guide you in the right direction, or at least be able to get you in to see him sooner when your son is discharged. What do you think ? Good luck to you all diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
