Hi all. My 9 year old has been going through some health issues and was wondering if anyone has gone through anything similar.
She feels a bad headache, gets stomache ache, needs to sleep, is then sick, goes back to sleep and is then completely normal and really hungry.
This started about three years ago and the episodes were about 3 to 4 months apart. I did not read to much into it as I thought that she had been upset about something. Her father is not in her life and at 7 she really wanted him.
This is still carrying on and getting less time between episodes. When it got to two in a week I took her to the docs. I was fearful for appendicitis. She has been referred to paediatric but still waiting.
She has now stopped been sick but is still suffering with episodes of headache, extreme stomach pain and it appears like her body just shuts down and she needs to sleep. Once the sleep is over, normally about 3 hours, she is extremely hungry and back to herself.
One thing I should also mention is that she is really sporty, popular in school and generally a well kid.
If anyone can help me with this or is going through the same I would love to hear from you xx
