dd 4 1/2 been getting tireder and tireder for and been ill with is lots of things in 3 weeks

[trace2]

since before christmas dd as been getting tired very easy, and then 3 weeks ago the school told she saying she tired all day in school, then had a seizure two weeks ago(yes she as them) but normally picks up after a day, but since then she really as gone down ill pains in her side hospital at one bit thought appendix, but she been crying with head pain, now this week she more tired than usual just sitting very pale no energy at all trys to play after 10 mins back down on sofa, even when my grandson come( where normally she pesters him) could she be anaemic? i am and this is how i started with my symptons gradual

For what it's worth my DD was sometimes hyper from low haemoglobin (although she crashed out quickly afterwards). They said it wasn't common but some kids do present that way. It sucks, but keep pushing until you get there, you know she's not right and if she's so tired and pale and losing weight, whilst it's probably just a stubborn virus, there's a slight possibility for it to be something more serious, and apart from anything else it's not fair on her or you to let it drag on. I understand she's not telling you much for fear of a blood test, poor thing; does she have any visible issues though? Maybe some other symptoms of haematological issues - bruising, nosebleeds, red spots round her eyes, swollen lymph nodes at all?

thanks FarloRigel our pead as rang she as to go for blood test first thing in morning before school! she as some lymph nodes swollen but only 2 i think, not spots round her eyes only red rings cos she pale and tired, and as for bruisers only on her legs which i think all kids get. some days i think she picking up next day she down:(

That's good. I'm really relieved they're taking it seriously and pushing ahead with a basic blood test for starters, at least you'll know then if she's anaemic or not. I hope you get some answers tomorrow, this sounds so miserable for her . I'll be thinking of you both tomorrow and hoping it's a step towards making her better x

How is your DD now? Hope the blood test wasn't too traumatic

thank you both we wont get bloods back till Tuesday when he back in office to tell us , dd picked up a little but still very tired, and when she not resting or sleeping her behaviour is horrible this is so not my dd:(

Poor thing . Hope you get good results on Tuesday, keep us posted please, I'll be thinking of you. Is she off for half term this week? Hope she gets a good rest if so.
