concerning my daughter?

Question

it all started when she was 2 months pregnant. the nauseas feeling, even throwing up. But there was also excruciating pain in the stomach. it got so severe that she ended up spending most of the pregnancy in the hospitals with a demerol drip. she has been to all the hospitals in the area plus some that are 50 miles away. Given all the test that the doctors can imagine. Her veins colapsed from all the needles. no one can figure out what is going on. It has been a year and a half since she delivered a healthy little girl, but the pain and vomiting still persist. Has anyone out there ever gone through this and can you tell me what is going on. Its not her pancreas, galbladder, intestines or anything that the doctors can put a finger on. Please help, we are desparate.

its not her appendix, the doctors have checked all the obvious organs.

Answer 1

First, is your daughter taking any supplements or prescription medications - especially prescription ones? When you are taking a prescription and complain about a possible side effect, most doctors won't believe you if your complaint is not one of those listed as a potential side effect by the drug manufacturer. Yet as we know, each body is different. Therefore whatever you are experiencing could be a little known side effect. When drug companies conduct clinical trials, they often don't report findings that are less than .5% of the test population. If you happen to be part of that .5%, however, you know that what you experienced is very real, indeed.

I recently underwent a host of tests for recurrent nausea and vomiting. My mother asked me about medications I was taking and immediately homed in on one of my medications as one she had been unable to take. Nausea and vomiting were not listed as possible side effects, but on the advice of my mother and under the care of my physician, I quit taking the medicine in question. In only three days, the problem was resolved.

If your daughter's problem cannot be tied to a medication or supplement she is ingesting, my next question would be whether or not she has seen an allergist. Some food allergies can cause nausea and vomiting. Of course, there are usually accompanying symptoms like edema or rash if that it the case.

A final question would be whether your daughter has been evaluated by an endocrinologist? I had a friend whose daughter suffered for years with a similar problem before finally being diagnosed with a digestive disorder. She now eats five small meals daily, has eliminated certain foods from her diet completely and limits consumption of other foods to a fraction of what she used to eat. She has been pain and nausea -free for four or five years.

Medicine is not an exact science. Generally, a diagnosis is reached either by determining what is NOT going on or on the assumption if X number of people experiencing what you're experiencing have Y disease, then by default that must be what you have.

Unfortunately, not every ailment is easily diagnosed. Furthermore, some diseases mimic other diseases so even when you get a diagnosis it can be incorrect.

I realize it is frustrating to continue seeking medical advice, but your best line of defense it to continue to seek help until someone comes up with the right diagnosis. And if you have not seen an allergist or an endocrinologist, by all means get your daughter to consult one. It's her body. She must i n s i s t the doctors continue to evaluate her specifics until they figure out what is wrong!

By offering your situation in this forum, it may be someone will have experienced the same thing and with the information they provide you, you will be armed for the next trip to the doctor. You are doing all the right things by being PROactive where your daughter's health is concerned. Hang in there because there IS an answer. You simply have to continue to search until you find it.

Answer 2

Your daughter needs to consult an immunologist, to make sure that she does not have lupus or something else going on. Sometimes during pregnancy, hidden autoimmune diseases can flare up, and this may be her problem. There are blood tests which would help diagnose any autoimmune issues, especially an ANA (antinuclear antibody) test. Short of that, an endocrinologist may be needed to make sure that she is not experiencing a metabolic derangement. But I would bet on the immunologist.

There is a book called - Hydrogen Peroxide Medical Miracle - by William C. Douglass, M.D. It has had some amazing results for a number of "incurable diseases". The book costs about $13.00 and has 184 easy reading pages. It's really worth looking in to. You can order it on E-Bay if you'd like. (I'm not to fond of the "medical experts" in most hospitals.)

confident and that's something i'm unsure how i visit handle as she grows. i think like I even have spent 0.5 my existence weight-reduction plan. i'm at the instant a healthful weight, yet i'm actually a yo-yo dieter. that's undesirable and that's from the ladies human beings in my family members. My grandma is eighty two and she or he continues to be weight-reduction plan. My mom has been contained in the time of the comparable element. i do no longer lack for self esteem so that's no longer that, yet i do no longer recognize the thank you to interrupt the cycle. How can we practice our daughters to be healthful yet no longer centred on the outward.

It only makes it that extremely harder as a mom to coach our females to be healthful.

Sounds like a neurological syndrome. Get her to a specialist. Have you tried Ementrol? There is a prescription form that has paregoric.

Answer 6

You might want to get her appendix checked out. My sister got real sick the same way your daughter has and she had to have her appendix removed.

Answer 7

nobody here has the right answer for this. Needs to pressure the current docs for answers, or get second and third opinions.
