questions to ask doctor...

[Guest guest]

As someone just starting this process, what questions should I ask our

doctor to get the right answers. Should I ask right away to get a

specalist involved? My son has his 2 year check up next week so I will

be able to sit down with my doctor for a real discussion. Tobin has

just ended another fever episode and I don't want him to wait years to

find out whats going on. I'm so frustrated with the " its just a

virius " answers.

Thanks,

Hi Jeni,

My daughter and I went through the virus thing and the urinary

tract thing and the kidney thing, ect......(If you can see where Im

going with this) All I can say is Keep a log of the fevers and temps,

any other symptons like vomiting and ulcers, and how long the episodes

last. We actually had to find a Ped Infectious Disease doctor to be

diagnosed. It did take us 6 years. Don't be scared, its just hard to

find some one that knows what this is.

Hope it helps, Marcie (mom of ,13
