Does my son have this disease?

YES!  Definitely.  Better take care of it soon, or he will develop the much more serious disease of 'cantaseemitosis'!

My child was diagnosed with this condition. Conventional medical experts pushed medications and said they would be for life.  Go the alternative road.  THere is NO harm in trying.  All of my son's symptoms disappeared when we treated food and environmental allergies.  Get and read the following 2 books used from Amazon: 1. IS THis Your Child, Doris Rapp, MD 2. Food Allergy Cure, Ellen Cutler, MD   Just do it!  You will be glad you didi!

That sounds as though he's either hemorrhaging internally or he has a block somewhere in his GI tract.  You should call his pediatrician today if not sooner.

Yes I know about it because the person is me.It used to be that I would wash my hands so much, that the skin would crack . And forget about picking up anything that was even remotely gross or dirty, I'd freak out and run to the sink and scrub for minutes at a time. I was driving my Husband crazy, and myself . So I got help. I went to a therapist and he put me on medication to ease the symptoms, and I see him to get a handle on this sometimes debilitating condition . The med. that worked for me was Prozac , which will also help with panic disorder. Get your Boy into the therapist as soon as possible .I'm sorry to say that it is unlikely that He will grow out of it . These things only get worse over time.Good luck, hope it all works out for You and your Son.

I answered your other question, \ni would like to say to you that if your son is showing any symptoms of Aspergers Syndrome {however mild or severe} please persist with the fight to get this diagnosis {he is under a paediatrician?}\nAny level of an ASD can be extremely difficult to diagnose and entails a lot of assessments at home/ school and any other regular places he attends.\nTry and make a note of unusual / inappropriate things he might say and things he is sensitive to or that over stimulate him ie; my son can`t cope with people talking in a different voice than their own, bright walls make him hyper and he has no concept of another persons personal space.\nHe has no concept of fear or danger and does not feel pain like a person without ASD does.\nCertain things do become quite obsessive { the latest being climbing on shed roof tops} and he is only 4 and a half !\nI wish you all the best of luck as parenting a child with ADHD and ASD will probably be the most challenging and exhausting experience of your lives.

I totally agree. sometimes we as mothers have to make a choice ourselves. Doctor sometimes only see the $$$$$ and not the problem. Also all they can do is diagnose. sometime they are wron too. But I think that you should get a 2nd opinonion and get that boy better before its too late. fever means infection and although the antibiotics are presents there must be another problem present. good luck!

21 months is still a young age, what does ur family doc. say? There is a form of autism and its not as like full blown as autism...its called aspergers syndrome... my family doc told my friend she thinks her son has it and its difficult to diagnose and he's 5. He does some of the same things...plays by himself and he never looks any of us in the eye even the adults.\nGood luck i hope he's fine.

I do not have it, but I have a condition that can lead to it.\n\nI hope your mom has been diagnosed early... for her, and for you and the rest of your family.  \n\nLook it up on the net.  Web MD whatever, Google it, Wikipedia.  I dont want to tell you anything, you need to read it for yourself *and this d*ck telling you your mom is going to die... GO TO HELL MAN! what a jerk*\n\nI dont know how old you are.. but regardless.  Read what you can, understand as much as you can absorb... and love your mom and be a good girl :) \n\nGood luck to your family, I wish you the best.

I am not really sure if this condition could be possible to have at a very young age but he probably has a hyperactive thyroid. Go check it with a Peditrician. Hyperactive thyroids is an abnormality with your thyroid (duh!) which actually makes someone who has this condition sweaty (sweats more than anybody, easily get tired more, lose weight, and at some point their body expriences trembling.

Take him to a child psychiatrist. Have him evaluated. It could be a physical/ emotional/ or mental disorder.~hugs+sr= *shrugs!

First, I'd talk to his pediatrician and/or see a neurologist (I'm sure he's had one in the past with this sort of problem).  Second, ask the doctor (or look into it yourself) about enrolling him in sometype of therapy-- I'm not sure what type would be appropriate- in addition to typical therapy (emotional type- to help him find better coping strategies)also maybe you could enroll him in something like physical therapy or occupational therapy-- where at least they could maybe fit him with some type of helmet or device or install something on the walls to protect him.  Not sure if you live in an area where this is available or how affordable an option it is (I'm from a small town where these things just don't exist) but I would strongly recommend seeing the doctors and considering some sort of therapy.  I truly wish you and your child the best of luck.

There is no such disease in the medical literature.\n\nThere is however a fictional account of somebody with Reuben's disease:\n\nhttp://nothorse.org/archives/Fullstory

I doubt you are going to devine an answer to such a complicated issue on this or any forum.  First of all no one can predict the future.  Secondly the child apparently hasn't yet been diagnosed completely.  Instead of fishing around for answers that no one can possibly provide, offer your complete support to the family both the parents and children there in.\nThese questions serve no good purpose and as I mentioned aren't going to yield palpable answers.

Hello,\nI don't know anything about this disease sorry.\nI would suggest you get another opinion from another doctor. Have more test run. Blood work, nuc meds, MRI on her lungs if this is where this is found.  etc., etc.\nThis can be caused by a number of things. The important thing for you and your daughter is to make sure this is what she has....Never trust one doctor in serious medical problems. \nYou did not say exactly what or where this disease was found I am assuming the lungs?\nPS: If your doctor did not suggest other test to confirm this he should have.

Hi,\n\nSorry to hear about your son. \n\nThe disease is called polyarteritis nodosa. It's a disease that causes inflammation in blood vessels which leads to their destruction. \n\nThe disease involves many organs in the body. It can present as a self limited disease that has only skin lesions or as a severe disease that involves many organs which leads to their disfunction, and to death. \n\nNothing is known at the moment about the genetics of the disease. In the USA it occurs in 9-17 out of 1,000,000 people. It usually affects people of all ages and is much more common in males than females. \n\nThe causes of the disease are unclear as of today. There is evidence that maybe the immunologic system in the body is responsible, because when checking for values of factors in the blood that usually go up in diseases that have an immune cause, these factors go up in this disease as well. \n\nThese include:\n1. antibodies of the type endothelial COH\n2. antibodies that are common in other diseases of blood vessels, called ANCA\n3. There is also a connection with infection from Hepatitis virus (that causes a liver disease usually). In 30% of people with the disease the virus was found in the blood. It's possible that the body's response to the virus causes the disease.
