Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Why would a loving, concerned parent be intimidated by a doctor? Ask for a test to PROVE that your child is not being poisoned by something many of us is believing is indeed poisoning many of our children. If these 'professionals' are truly concerned and the process of elimination is often the way to 'RULE OUT' a certain diagnosis, then a sincere doctor should be happy to appease a hyper-vigilant parent. I do not know how they measure ethylene-glycol poisoning in children. I know that a child suffering from hyponatremia can exhibit lab values that are considered within the normal range, so I am not sure how confident I would be with a test, but certainly if it comes back positive a re-test should be done. I believe my son suffered from ethylene-glycol poisoning, but I did not have any idea at the time. Our lives could be different today if I had demanded such a test. Do not let such an opportunity be missed. Do not let the 'ill-informed' or clueless dictate to you the care for your child. Any reasonable person would be willing to review this information. An adolescent psychiatrist told me my son definitely could have experienced a metabolic encephalopathy after six days of several adult doses of Miralax at 90 pounds. LETHARGY is the first symptom listed in ethylene glycol poisoning for animals. VCA Animal Hospitals 1-800-VCA-PETS 1- As a registered nurse you should look for people in the. Medical profession willing to listen and help, not scoff and be judgmental. This could ultimately be a life or death situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 My son was lethargic prior to ending up in the ER and ICU. Besides vomiting, letharic was the next sign of poisoning.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Many of us are clueless and depend on the professionalism and knowledge of our doctors when we first attempt to get help for our child. We don't know what we don't know. It's not until it's too late and the damage has been done that we become knowledgable and get angry at the doctor for not sharing ALL the information he or she has at hand. It seems, instead, they go with the norm and what Big Pharma is telling them to tell us. To ask for the tests you mention IS a great idea...if the parent already knows. But, what parent knows before they know? Know what I mean? Why would a loving, concerned parent be intimidated by a doctor?
