Re: RESEARCH - Prevalence of growing pains in young children

Gena,

Thanks for the references. I'm happy to say my 2 children did not have such

problems. But my problems were not just when I was small. I remember a story

(I'm old enough I have lots of them) that happened to me when I was in

highschool, probably 15 or 16.

One night my hip was hurting so badly and I was dreaming I was impailed by

something. I was begging for someone to help me. Then I heard the paramedics

as they entered my room. What relief as I moved more to the conscious state. I

opened my eyes and they were really there. Then they walked right by my bed

without stopping. I can't describe how that made me feel, but I was slowly

actually becoming awake.

An elderely aunt was on a cot in my bedroom and I didn't think of her as this

was a very rare thing. So the paramedics passed me by and picked her up. My

hip was hurting so badly I could hardly keep quiet and then to add this mental

mixup was just too much.
