[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 259703, member: 1233"] I was like that as a teen. If they said it was the rare presentation of something I inevitably had it. Like chicken pox. I have had them TWICE and still have NO antibodies so I can STILL get them and the vaccine alone is terribly risky for me. The kids have to have it because if they got it I certainly would. And chicken pox gets worse every time you have it - my last case almost hospitalized me. thank you also presents strangely with asthma (cough variant, has only wheezed ONCE in 9 years), the usual treatments don't work but when they try the "old fashioned, out of date" treatments (meaning the ones that are not new and being pushed by the drug cos) they help (the old fashioned treatments). Then there was Jessie with her bowel issue. NO symptoms of a blockage at all until she had teh stomach pain, then it was HUGE. It did not respond to miralax, mineral oil, even go lightly (the stuff they clean you out with before surgery or colonoscopy) didn't help. She had to be hospitalized with an old fashioned "mother's wisdom" treatment of milk and molasses. So your kids are a reminder to everyone that the new-fangled stuff is not always what it is cracked up to be and that medicine is an art as much as a science. I hope she can manage to feel better and avoid some of the problems in the future. [/QUOTE]
