Our 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with VUR & began having accidents. She went a year on prophylaxis with no problems. Then Sept. of 07’ she developed a break through infection. In Dec. she was hospitalized for another. She had a urodynamics test indicating neurogenic bladder. A MRI gave no indication of tethered cord. She continued to have kidney infections, has scarring, but good function per a DMSA in 07’. After her hospital stay she started to have chronic stomach pain. She never had any pain before even with her infections. She was constipated on imaging despite bm’s every day. In Jun of 08’ she had bilateral reimplant. She continued to develop UTI's. Her incontinence became worse. Her stomach pain resolved, but she was almost obsessively hungry. In Nov. of 08’ we consulted with a Neuro who thought she would benefit from sect. of her filum. We opted to do the surgery and she regained complete control of her bladder. We thought we were all done, however in Jan. of this year she had a severe case of strep throat, in Feb. she had Bronchitis and fifths disease, in March she had a UTI (her urine was thick with pus) and in April she had another milder strep throat infection. She complains of chronic stomach pain, lost several lbs so we took her to a gastro. She was tested for thyroid, Celiac, food allergies, lactose intolerance, and had rectal manometry, a upper gi and ultrasound which came back normal. She was started on Miralax & pepcid. The lower stomach pain has improved. When our daughter feels good she is active in sports and social & has good grades. We give her yogurt to help with the antibiotics, our children have well balanced diets. Our 10 year old son is almost never ill; neither is my husband or myself. She is tired, mentions chest & stomach pain, headaches, neck pain, dizziness upon standing. She is hungry but says it is painful to eat. I wonder if this has become psychological, but every time I think it is, she develops some type of infection.
