Ever feel like just one more thing and you will snap? one more piece of straw will break the camels back?
Things seemed to be getting better regarding my daughter we had a nasty bout of skin infection which took a bit more then anti biotics to worse, it wasn't the worse spread infection we've had but it was getting worse, thankfully fucibet and anti biotics kicked it in the bum and we had a couple of days where her eczema calmed down a little, it didn't go completely but just wasn't full blown. Thing is, if it isn't this causing issues its something else, mysterious knee pains, joint pains, bone pains?! something now I know she likes to carry on but i know when she is putting it on. Tonight was no put on and she was in agony, she can't bloody bend her knee when its so bad. but there is nothing and no answers yet?. Because growing pains, don't get warm and neither do they swell up. Thankfully now we don't have too much longer to wait to see the ped's at Wigan. Though it's taken long enough to get there!
To add to the list of things, She had a full blown allergic reaction last week, not eczema wise, not asthma, eating a new type of cereal which had been bought special for her, she started to have a bowl when she told me her throat felt funny ( i must add here she says funny things like, her throat is sweet or she is "dying" for a drink but its never like this) she then started to itch at her ears, both sides, and I asked her what the matter was and she was just saying, they were itchy, no eczema, so i thought it was very odd. but I let her carry on her cereal. Well next thing I knew she was crying in pain over her eye, really rubbing it at and I had a look and nothing was there, getting concerned I asked other mums on fb for some advise and then gave her a anti histamine to try and calm her down. In the mean time looking up itchy ears etc realising she was having a full blown reaction!! Never ever had this before so que me feeling like crap for passing it off as nothing and her not having a clue what was going on. I pegged it down to the cereal and she had calmed down with the reaction after about 10-15 mins, though it took several hours for her eye to calm down.
Went to the drs, and we were told to avoid nuts and get some bloods done, took her after school and she didn't run away or scream the place down and was very brave ( does not happen often! ) and it was time to wait. One week later i ring the drs to see if they have returned to be told, yes they have and there was no further action needed. ERM?! pardon? did i make this reaction up? nothing has come up. Ok sigh lets try and see if we can figure out whats happened. Maybe i was playing it up all wrong or because she had rubbed her eye she made it that bad. resigned to the fact nothing had come up i asked for a drs appointment so we can have a chat. Today i went in just as i wanted to see the test results myself and or get a appointment closer, nothing except for on the day. Receptionist took a look at the results and went to see if she could print them off. Now she was gone a good 5-10 mins and when she came back she had been seeing the dr and something HAD come up. shock bloody horror! Now not a massive indicator but a mild one with possibly more ( it is ige levels and k/ul levels they look at through RAST, haven't a clue so don't ask) so since this had come up why the hell did i get told no further action? i could have very easily given her walnuts as i had made a home made carrot cake earlier this week, one with and one without walnuts! I am fuming!!
To say the least a complaint is going in and I am pulling the kids out of the practice atleast! thing is i still have to wait for this drs app with no indiction of what to do, I have had to ring up the community nurse team to talk to them about what to do! Been advised to keep away from nuts till we speak to the dr and that we might get a epi pen considering the reaction she did have.
Tonight she is covered in eczema, has serious knee pain and is well herself! wish something would give her a break, or actually us! some positive news or something to come along please. nice lottery win would be fantastic! lol. Would take us all away on a break, sod school fines! Because she bloody well deserves it!
