Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I am a mother of a five year old boy who has been getting a fever every four weeks or so since July. Usually, he has sore throat, headache, and swollen glands (stiff neck), so we've had numerous strep tests, which have all been negative. He's been tested for meningitis, mono, etc., but so far, everything has been negative. When he got sick last month, our regular doctor sent us to a children's hospital a couple of hours away. They did a CAT scan of his head and neck, chest x-ray, blood work, strep test, and everything came back looking pretty normal. His bloodwork showed only some minor inflammation. The doctors there recommended that we have further evaluation in their rheumatology department. We have an appointment there in a couple of weeks. Last night, I was searching for some answers on the internet, and I came across the description of , which sounded the most like what we've been dealing with than anything else I've explored. I am interested in reading about other people's experiences with this syndrome. Is there a specific test that can be done for diagnosis, or is it a process of elimination? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content on Jupiter by Seamless.Net It is believed to be clean.
