and allergies (for Corrine)

[Guest guest]

Corrine,

I know most children with probably don't have allergies with

their periodic fevers, but mine does. He is allergic to all dairy,

eggs, soy, and trees (which has now led to asthma.) I have noted on

this site before how interesting it is that , food allergies,

asthma, autism, and ADHA are all theorized by some to be associated

with inflammation and the autoimmune system (or over-active immune

system.) I am so curious as to if there will ever be a link drawn

scientifically.

Also, I have often read on this site that parents feel that children

somtimes get epidsodes after stress or illness. I have often

wondered if a reaction to a food has brought on a fever episode in

my son.

I can understand you frustration with the allergies on top of the

fevers to deal with. I hope you find a wonderful doctor. Maybe an

immunologist would help. I would definitely try to get into the NIH

study in Bethesda, land. There is a link to contact the nurse

for the study on this site.
