Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hello, Here's my intro: My name is and I'm a mother of a beautiful 22 month old son (Conor) who may possibly have . My husband and I are just learning about this condition and beginning the long process of blood tests and differential diagnosis testing protocols. My son has been experiencing cyclical fevers since April '08. Usually 3-4 weeks apart, except for one period of time he was afebrile for 2.5 months. He just got over his last fever of 4 days 2.5 wks ago and is on his 5th day of another fever. Except for occasional signs of a red throat and red patches on his cheeks he is without other symptoms and Motrin seems to do a good job most of the time to control how high his fever goes. His fevers resolve on their own and he usually eats and drinks very well. I'm a physical therapist and fitness professional and my husband is an medical attorney, so we are both very familiar with the medical world, but we really wish we didn't have to be 'so' familiar with these new conditions and diseases we're learning about that my son may have. But, we want to educate ourselves as much as we can as we try to find out what's wrong with his health. Of course, we keep being told that it's just a virus each time. We are not settling for that anymore. I've been making some calls to Dr.'s and I found this group. I am looking forward to getting to know you. & Northwest NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
