I'd just soon be alone in this, I hate to see you other guys having the same worries. Our children will always be our babies no matter what.

My sister brought up another thought too. Diabetes type 2 runs in our family and he has been losing weight lately. She's bringing her glycometer over later and we'll check that out when he's over again. I'm thinking no on that but never know. He has been to the doctors quite a bit lately so you would think that has been checked there or in the hospital when he was there last month.

My prayers go out for the other parents here with worries about their children.

I know too well how scared we get when one of our children displays sx's of one sort or another. I go into panic mode.

I hope your DS's both (Kell and Sass) DO NOT have anything serious.. Hang in there and keep us posted.

Brenda, I know all too well how you feel. Jim and I cringe each time we hear Chris fall in the tub or complain about his knees. We know it's probably just damage, we pray that's all it is. However, this is the child who always fatigued easily, had the "growing pains" in his legs, now has trouble walking with his knees. His MRI was yesterday.

He knows the possibility is there about ms, we've always been open. I believe knowledge is very important. He said something to me the other day that mimicked his father 20 years ago. He said "Well, if I have something wrong like ms, I am going to play sports and do what I can for as long as I can." It took all I could to hold back the tears. It reminded me of the day back in June of 1988 when Jim came out and told me he had ms. He said those very words. The only difference was Jim had the dx.

I too say a silent prayer even though that annoying little voice inside fights my better judgement. I will say a prayer for your son as well.

I'm with all of you on this I have to kids and when they mention anything like tingling or numbness I start to get really anxious. I pray that they never have to go through this.

Oh I'm sorry so many of you are going through this. We have two sons in their 20's and I hope and pray they never get MS. I'm also very watchful of their health and I feel panicked if they stumble going up the stairs or fumble their words or something.

They're both sleepers, needing lots of it, and I worry about the tiniest things that could possibly be MS.

I'll keep all of our children in our prayers.

A lot of us have kids and fear this exact type of comment, I know I do, hopefully it is just plain old fatigue, tell him to ease up on the red bulls

just razzing ya,

keeping a mental note and or journal is a good idea for him.

I know the fear . . .

My daughter gets a numb/sunburned sensation in her torso every time she gets sick. She had a migraine, numbness and loss of control of her face when she was 11; they said it was hormones. She still gets lots of headaches. She needs far more sleep then most kids her age, and will fall asleep where-ever she is. Her knee gives out unexpectantly, which was my first sign of MS.

Scary stuff.

I hope the test turn out ok, sassy.

(BTW Sally . . . I don't know of any doctor that would rx LDN without a dx. Even with a dx, they can be fairly unaccommodating.)

True, but Dr. Bahari prescribed LDN to himself and his wife as a cancer preventative, so, if MS is in the family, a Doc my precribe it to a child who is having some possible MS SX??

And, of course, I think you can still order the Rivia 50mg naltrexone tablets from Mexico and make your own. I did that for awhile, just for kicks.
