Hi Cherie, I am new here & hope you won't mind my prayers added to the others. I know this is sooo hard for you to see your baby like that. I know she is 13 but still Your Baby.

Thanks for the update Cherie. Give her a big hug for me, the poor sweetie. I hope this clears up and never returns, and will soon be a dim memory.

Hey Cherie! Glad to hear your DD is starting to feel better. Will certainly keep her and you, too in my prayers. Keep us posted and take care of yourself, too.

I was late seeing this.

Cherie, I am so sorry that your poor daughter has had to go through so much lately. Give her a soft hug from me.

It's sickening the way some hospital staff treat people who come to them for help, especially the old people and the young people. I swear, some of them have hearts made of ice and little bitty brains.

I hope by now that her pain has improved, and that she was able to sleep through the night. You need your rest, also.

I hope all the tests come out okay, and that you can put all of this behind you.

Mama Cherie...Still thinking about you, DD and the stress and worry, you are going through.....saying a little prayer each day for you both..

i'm glad all the testing is behind both of you cherie.
please rest too.

take care.

Dear Cherie,

OH MY!!! What a horrible ordeal for both your daughter and you to go through. Sorry for coming in so late, my energy level isn't up to par yet. Like others have said, that's been my worst nightmare after being diagnosed with this monster. Keep asking my adult kids if they have any strange symptoms, etc. Wouldn't wish this disease on anybody. Of course at the time when they were born, I didn't know all this stuff was going on in my body.

Whatever it was that caused her horrible symptoms, I pray never comes back. I'll be praying for her and you too that all this stress doesn't cause an exacerbation for you!!! IMHO, all that stuff about too much stress for her sounds like a bunch of carp and a copout!! Strange it happened just after the MRI and LP!! All the best to your family and I hope your life gets back to "normal" soon. Isn't it a great thing to have all these supportive friends here that truly understand?!?!

Gentle hugs........

Cherie,
I just saw this thread so please forgive me for being so late. Sending good vibes to you both. Hugs, Jules

Cherie are you comfortable that her MRI, as it was, is a good representation of what is going on in her brain? Would you have to wait long if its deemed necessary to repeat it?

Hi Cherie,

I am SO sorry that you and your daughter are having to go through all of this right now, on top of everything else!!

I'm so glad that the test results came back OK and that they don't show any obvious problems at the moment - that must be a relief although I am sure you must be pretty confused. I remember when my test results first came back clear, we were sooo confused as we knew something was wrong with me, just not what. If I could say anything to you though, it would be to keep believing your daughter and listening to how she feels. Maybe keep a log of how she has been doing, if anything makes her symptoms worse/better etc? Just because the test results came back OK, doesn't mean that she has nothing wrong with her or that she needs to see a "Mental Health Worker"!!! You are her mother and I am sure you would know if she was "faking" the illness ... I know my mum said she knew straight away that something was wrong and that I wasn't just putting it on!

You are a great mum Cherie and I am sure your daughter really appreciates everything that you are doing for her, especially considering that you have MS also! I honestly don't know what I would do without my mum - she has been with me throughout all of the rough and good times and I could never thank her enough and i'm sure your daughter feels the same way about you, even if she may not show it in person!

Take care and know that I am thinking about you and your daughter. If you ever need to talk to anyone, please know that I am here for you and so is my mum because we DO understand some of what you are going through and how worrying and scary it is dealing with all of the tests etc.

Thinking about you and please keep us updated as and when you are able to!
