Precocious Puberty Support Group
Early pubic hair, breast, or genital development may result from normal but early maturation or from several abnormal conditions. Early puberty which is normal in every way except age is termed idiopathic central precocious puberty. It may be partial or transient. If your child is going through early puberty, share your experiences here and get support.
Ok, it's been stressful here. After 10 yr diagnoses of multiple sclerosis, my MS specialist leaves the area, I had to find new neuro, who said i don't have MS, without even seeing me yet. (trust me, it's a long story and i have a LOT of health issues.)
He ordered spinal tap... led to spinal headache...ER... patch... still fighting it the headache. Excruciating.
Today, my 3 year old had a pre-op consult for surgery that will take place tomorrow. This is for the supperlin implant.
I had to take her myself. it was a 6 hour ordeal. Long wait... pretests, preregistration and all. I drove, so no muscle relaxers for my spasm or pain meds for the spinal headache.
I was sitting on the floor... the waiting room was crowded. My spine was killing me, head pounding, Hannah restless. I was doing this by myself because hubby would not ask off.
After 1 1/2 hours of waiting, he calls. Said he is not going to work, he is too stressed.
HE IS STRESSED? He is home in bed, I am here, on the floor, in severe pain, dealing with it all.
Ok... so surgery is in the morning. Be there at 7 am. Surgery at 9:00. All is good. Hubby does not work until 1 PM so he can be there to help. It is hard for me to carry her... with a bag of stuff like paperwork, purse, wipes and such... and a cane.
But, he informs me, he will be working early, at 9 am... to make up for the day he missed today... which he spent in bed, "stressed".
So, I am alone again.
Why is it they call a spouse a helpmate?
Just so frustrated, angry and in pain. Praying my body hold up so I can be there for my angel.
END VENT

How did the surgery go?
We live overseas, and not too confident in medical care here. Got bloodwork done for our DD who is 7.5 yo. Showing some budding. Height and weight are 75-90 percentile. Her hormones are high. Weepy at times. Might have spotted the other week...not sure.
Going to another city to get better care and further treatment plan. I suppose they'll do xray of hand. Probably have to travel another day to the city for the MRI. Not even sure if insurance covers anything.
Just asking for a miracle and healing!
Thanks for sharing

Just wanted to send you a hug. I'm sorry your not getting the support you deserve. Just know we are all here for you :) I know we don't live in the same state but if you need any help finding a new doctor I will do my best to try and help. My mom and aunt have multiple sclerosis and I actually used to work for their headquarters in Massachusetts. If you would like I will make some calls and see if I can find a new MS specialist out there? Also, Mass has a lot of great MS doctors as well as childrens hospital and UMass are were I was treated for my PP.
Hope everything went well, sorry my post is so late. Keep your head up hun, ur an awesome mom!
Big hug****
But she did get a stomach virus and strep right after it. She got it from her sister. Poor thing. So, another doctor visit for her. But she did great.
caj, I hope your insurance will cover. That is just added stress you don't need.
Hope, thanks. I just emailed my old neuro who works at Providence Multiple Sclerosis Clinic in Portland, she left here to go there. And I let her know what all happened. I am looking at a doctor in Pittsburgh at the moment. I asked for her opinion but not sure if she will reply back. I hope so.
The last 2 weeks have been $#@! because of strep, stomach viruses and MS issues, but, Hannah has been my life saver. She has been so sweet and loving. I am hoping I won't see a huge personality change. So far she has not had any anger fits. She gets so angry and raged. Very different from a tantrum. She gets enraged for no reason. And it is scary. And I feel it confuses her, as if she does not understand it.
I just pull her tight and hold her, tell her its ok. Then she is fine.
Now for tantrums, she gets in trouble. But I can tell the difference.
