Hi again MsBees,

You do have a lot of questions that you are concerned about right now. Wow! Have you gone to our forum on ADHD and a few other disorders in children?

No one can tell you what medication your son should be taking and the amount. That is up to you and his doctor. We do talk about Magnesium on here in connection with MS, or constipation, etc.

I have a similar ailment to IBS-C and similar to Crohn's, called Collagenous Colitis or microscopic Colitis. It is not affected by nerves or stress, it just is a autoimmune disease.

I take LDN now for two years and it is gone. I just had three biopsies and they could not find these C plates.

They tried to add Lupus to my collection of autoimmune diseases because my ANA is around 1:640 and my ESR goes to the 70's at times. But there is a criteria you must meet to have Lupus, I only have a few.

I think you should see your PCP to see why you are holding fluids and swelling. Perhaps go to a Rheumatologist to get more testing for Lupus and Arthritis. They have medications like Placqunil (sp?) and some more new ones for Lupus. Then there are a few types of Lupus too.

Have you had you back checked for Sciatica? That back pain, hip pain, running down your leg could be that. There are so many diseases/disorders that you should be checked for, because of all your many symptoms.

I hope you find pain relief soon.
