Re: New Here--looking for PDD kids with enlarged lymph node hx

[Guest guest]

we had this happen at about 4 and 6 (both boys)--they

caught a virus with enlarged lymphs and high fevers.

it lasted about 3 or 4 days. then i got it and had

several huge lymph nodes and ended up with kind of

like a steven johnson syndrome. i've also had an

autoimmune response that deafened me, so we have

something going on with us that is weird. barb---

I have wondered about many things with my son (we are awaiting the arrival

of the paperwork so that we can get on the list to see Dr. Goldberg). Along

the lines of what you have been discussing, one thing comes immediately to

mind. Will would waken almost every night when he was 3 1/2 to 4 and come

into our bed. The reason became clear over time as the underlying problem

worsened: he had profoundly swollen adenoids that were nearly blocking his

nasal passages completely. This occurred even though he had been obviously

ill only 3 times before age 5. I questioned the doctor about it over and

over and he said it " must have been some virus. "

Vicki,

On Dr. Goldberg's website there is a place in the " conference " area called

" Ask Dr. Goldberg " where you can post questions to him and he will answer

them. It may take him a few weeks to get to it, but he does respond to

those posted questions. You can also search that area's content... it goes

back several years and is a wealth of information.

Good luck!

Caroline
