Anyone any experience with any of those things together? Dd1 had a seizure (they are caused by pain/stress) while I held her as she had a flush put through her canula. Also as part of the test she had radioactive stuff and a diuretic put through the canula. She has been wiped out ever since and very emotional.

the complication is a genetic condition that means her body can't deal with stress on its own a nd also t g at she dehydrates easily.

She's (understandably ) upset with me that she had all that done and she properly attacked me yesterday whilst out, her behaviour is often tricky but not usually as extreme as that. She says she has no energy, she looks a bit rough . Would the seizure cause two days of this? It happened Friday. Bit worried but too many factors to know if it's medical or emotional.

Oh dear just looked up the procedures and in fact although one test was for kidney reflux (indirect cystogram) , the other (mag3 'renogram) was actually to test kidney function and to look for things that are very serious. Worried now. She's had high blood pressure for years and her condition affects the kidneys, she has been getting uti s including one very bad kidney infection which is the reason they are doing these tests, along with sudden urine leakage issues.

Should have known better than to Google.

The reflux test is a miserable intrusive one isn't it. Not surprised she is ticked off. How old is she ? Hope you are ok, plenty of experience of pinning down my asd dd too, sending Wine.

Thank you. Yes it was not nice at all. I wonder if the radioactive stuff or diuretic have made her feel ill too,she looks a bit worn out. Horrible taking a seemingly well child in and coming out with an unwell one!

I have held her down for many a horrible test or procedure and its so hard to explain isn't it. She asked the other day if the thing they put through her canula will make her stop being naughty (hurting her sister) Sad , I was horrified as thought I had explained her condition to her.
