I have just read through your thread egnat.........just a bit of advice from a Brit......INSIST that the doctor does blood tests!!!!! Dont let them fob you off......a mother knows when there is something not right with her child and I think sometimes the doctors think we are just fussing......I agree with others that maybe the "SHOCK" of going to school is taking its toll......but I would still want to have her checked out medically.
Good luck
Well, I took my daughter to the doctor this afternoon and thank goodness the doctor noticed her colour and puffy eyes too. Usually when I take my kids to the doctor they bounce around quite happily........ can be quite infuriating when they are meant to look sick for the occasion.
Tomorrow we are going for a blood test - apparently very uncommon for 5 year olds in this country and therefore it is going to take a couple of hours to do with anthesthetic cream etc.
Even if it all comes out negative, I would rather all the options were checked - even if just for my piece of mind
