dd1 seems to have a history of acute bacteria infections in various parts of the body and organs and this has been going on for over 2 yrs now. The 1st lot in 06-07 led to a diagnoses of obstructive sleep apnea and she had an adenotonsillectomy. During this time back 06-07 she had recurrent UTI's some which were detected in cultures and some coming back negative, but with all the same symptoms.
Shes now been in and out of hospital again since Jan of this yr with another series of acute UTI's, one bout turned into kidney infection as she didn't respond to the basic anti biotic. Again nothing showed in several cultures grown each time shes been admitted , yet she now has permanent kidney damage and we are under a consultant at GOSH to determine and test for Kidney reflux (due results from a Mag3 done this past Monday in 7-10 days).
So for over 2yrs shes been on umpteen anti biotics and hospitalised over and over. We had a long period of time of night terrors (which until the recent tests at GOSH had all but gone and now returned) and she also has been unable to get dry at night. Shes extremely sensitive emotionally right now , which is understandable and has bouts of activity and energy and then gets extremely tired.
I was recommended by a friend to go and see a pharmacist who also practices as a homeopath/flower remedy practitioner who works in our local sainsbury! So today I went and found him. Hes suggested that her spleen is probably overworked (which I suspected) and that its very possible she has mycoplasma in her body which is why nothing is showing in normal hospital tests and why infections seems to move from one part to another.
He said that if I brought her to him he would put her on the whole 37 flower remedies and treat the Mycoplasma and do a work up on her whole system.
Ive never heard of this condition and Im so confused as to what is the best direction to go in for her.
Reading up , it seems despite the mycoplasma you still need to treat the varying conditions, which with kidney damage needs to be addressed. My biggest concer is the antio bitoics use and long term health and also, If I dont treat the supposed mycoplasma, could I just be leaving her wide open for much worsening problems.
I know much of this sounds bonkers!
