[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 234172, member: 1991"] Rotsne, even a fever can be the result of extreme anxiety. difficult child 3 used to get very anxious at going to school, although he still has difficulty accepting that his symptoms are just anxiety. He wanted to be at school, he wasn't 'getting sick' to get out of school in any way. But he would get nausea, stomach pain and fever. In difficult child 3's case, he gets sick if he's really, really anxious about anything. Because he now does school at home, attending school isn't a problem any more. But having a blood draw, or being somewhere he feels is unsafe (such as Rotarua, on holiday - it's very volcanic) will cause these symptoms, coupled with a sense of dread. In Rotarua he kept saying, "I'm really ill, something really bad is wrong with me," and wouldn't accept that it could be anxiety. But as we drove away, the further we got down the road the better he felt. HOw high is your daughter's fever? And which daughter is it? There are a number of health problems we've found with our daughters as well as niece. This is on top of te anxiety problems we've seen in difficult child 3. easy child would get nauseous andactually vomit, when anxious. Just the fear that she would get so sick she would vomit, would make it happen. easy child 2/difficult child 2 actually has an organic illness which LOOKS like something psychosomatic, where she feels sick and nauseous after eating. She feels sick, she feels bloated, it lasts for hours. It took 18 months of constant investigations to identify the problem. We took her to a gastroenterologist who finally found the problem and found some medication that helps. It isn't acure, but it makes it easier for her and as a result, her anxiety has eased. The anxiety was adding to it, because she would get anxious that she would feel sick, and this made it even worse. From what we've been told, the nausea after eating occurs mostly in mid to late teens, should ease by her mid 20s. easy child's anxiety-related nausea and vomiting eased by late teens, but there were probably social factors to this. Have you had much checked out by doctors yet? Now could be a good time, before she's too old to be out of your juridsiction. There is also the possibility that your daughter has inherited some of her mother's health problems, but they could be manifesting in her in a different way. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time with this, I hope the ideas kicking around can help you find some answers. Marg [/QUOTE]
