Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum.
I am, quite frankly, at my wits end.
My 13 Year Old Daughter was violently sick in the car in August 2018. Since that point she has had constant stomach pain and nausea.
We have taken her to the doctor, who prescribed various pain killers and the Pill for her periods.
None of this helped. They then thought it could be appendicitis, so we rushed her to hospital....thankfully it wasn't that either.
At Christmas 2018 the pain became so terrible we rushed her to A&E only to be told they couldn't find anything causing it.
Our Consultant seems convinced that she has Chronic Abdominal Pain caused by a sensitive nerves.
Poor darling has had more blood tests that I can think of. She has had two ultra-sound scans and no pain killers even touch the sides. She cries herself to sleep most nights (so do I) and my partner and I are trying to push for an MRI but our consultant is having none of it.
Her tummy swells up and cannot be touched as she is in screaming agony.
Does anyone else's child have this issue? It may be referred to as FAPS or CAPS. If they do, what works?
Any suggestions that might help would be gratefully appreciated.
Currently the only thing we do is Hot Water Bottle / Bath and cuddles, however, these seem to have less and less effect as time goes on.
Thanks for reading :)
