I was wondering how common serum sickness is in children. DS was hospitalized after given Augmentin in Dec '10 due to what his pulmo says is serum sickness. However, his allergist had him try Augmentin again, saying that it was probably just a virus causing the swelling, etc. Sure enough, a...

I was wondering what issues, if any, the parents who are only carriers have. As I try putting this puzzle together, I'm trying to find every single piece I can. I have asthma, which for the most part is controlled with Advair, Singulair and Albuterol, nasal polyps, sinus infections and what...

I was wondering how bad the pruning is that I've seen mentioned in a few posts? I had never really thought about it until one day a few months ago I noticed how wrinkled DS' hands looked when he was done with his bath. I then saw it mentioned in posts on this site. I never knew that one had...

DS was on oral Prednisone for a few days, then IV steroids, then back on Prednisone. He gained 3 pounds during this time, which is awesome. I was told by the dr. that it is completely normal for someone to gain that much weight that quickly but it's only due to the steroids. He's been off the...

DS' bronch came back with a bacteria, which I can't remember the name of right now, and showed inflammation in the right lower lobe. His sinus CT scan showed that his sinuses are a mess, he was diagnosed with chronic sinusitis and has air-fluid level in his right mastoid? His pulmo prescribed...

DS is going in for a bronchoscopy and lavage and sinus ct tomorrow and I was hoping anyone with a child that has been through this could help calm my nerves. I don't know why I'm such a mess this time, but I feel like I'm on the verge of an anxiety attack. I didn't get this nervous with the...

My son has had a chronic cough on and off for years, now it's been on for 5 months. When his cough is at its peak, he'll start coughing immediately up waking up. But most of the time it starts about 10 - 30 minutes after he wakes up, and I'm wondering why that would be. I'm trying to figure...

I know I saw a post about something similar not that long ago, but I couldn't find it. Although my 6 year old son has yet to be diagnosed, he's been off and on ill for the last 5 years. He's had a non-stop cough, which is really terrible in the mornings, and then slows down during the day with...

After seeing someone post about sweat tests being painful, I have to ask, has anyone had any problems with their children complaining that the sweat test was painful? DS cried during his sweat test. He chose to have his right arm tested first (he calls it his "strong arm"), which he said ouch...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any issues with pleural thickening of the lungs and lung nodules in their child? My son is 6 and that is what showed up on his chest x-ray. The pulmo said the next step is a CT scan. He's unsure at this point what is causing this, does anyone have any ideas...

Thanks to everyone who has helped me through this battle, I am hoping that we are going to start getting some real answers. DS met with the pediatric pulmonologist who is incredible. He is determined to find out what is going on with DS. He asked all kinds of questions, about his cough, his...

My DS's sweat test results were given to me by his GI specialist the same day he had the test done. One arm was inconclusive because they couldn't get enough sweat and the other arm was a 10. Super low. When the lady doing the test took off the little disk thingy, she said "I think we've got...

DS had the endoscopy and biopsy and it was negative for Celiac. So now the doctor has ordered the sweat test for Aug. 24th. I figure even if the sweat test comes back negative, I will ask for the blood test - full Ambry. I still can't figure out DS's poop. I've kept a journal of food and bm...

I had originally posted in the Diagnosis area and thanks to everyone that replied. I'm still waiting to find out what could be wrong. My 5 1/2 yo son is in about the 3rd percentile for his weight and has steadily been thinning out over the past couple of years. He was diagnosed with asthma a...
