Hi Mike,

 

You are from our neck of the woods, we live in southeast Mesa.  We actually

lived in Chandler for many years.  Anyway my son who is 5 was diagnosed with

when he was 3 years old.  He fevered every two weeks and it started when

he was a baby (not sure exactly when, but definitely noticed a pattern by a year

old).  Landon had his tonsils and adenoids removed in Sept. and has been fever

free since.  We are cautiously optimistic!  We saw a hematologist/oncologist and

that is who diagnosed Landon, I would recommend him if you would like, he did

know about .  Take care and best of luck to you and your little girl.

Thanks, Jackie...we are set to meet with a pediatric rheumatologist after the

New Year at Phoenix Children's.  We could have received an appointment earlier,

but we were sick of doctor appointments and with the holidays and celebrating a

third birthday, we just decided to wait a few extra weeks.

I may come back and ask you for your physicians at a later date, however. 

Thanks for the offer and I hope your Landon remains symptom free.

I'm wondering if anyone else had these symptoms as a child?  I was sick monthly

as a child as well.  Sometimes they traced it to strep throat and other times

they just shot me full of penicillin anyway.  Either way, I have hardly ever

been sick and have never had strep in the thirty years since my tonsils were

taken out.  Looking back on it, with little to no memory of my illnesses,

I'm pretty sure I was a sufferer of at the time.  Does anyone else have a

similar genetic history to their children?
