that doctor is a moron and does not serve to be one. i feel sorry for your son and i will pray for him and all our other soldiers and people in the military... just see another doctor or get in contact with the vetern's affairs office

do you know if your son is intolerant to anything I am intolerant to dairy products and wheat (big time) If I eat bread I get agonising pains in stomach try stopping both  and see if this works if not call an ambulance and tell them he has collapsed in agony then he will definitely be seen instantly.  Good luck to you.

Call the office, or better yet show up at the office, and explain your situation. Do not take "no" for an answer. Be polite, but be firm. If they say "there is nothing we can do", then say, "that's not accpetable". Make sure you highlight the fact that you are worried about the fact that he stops breathing at night - this might make it sound more like an emergency.\n\nThe system is designed to be efficient for doctors, not patients. You must aggressively advocate for your son. Being persistent (but always polite) is the best way to make things happen.\n\nGood luck!

Your family doctor should be working with you on this concern. Call schools in your area, maybe they may know.\nChanging doctors may be the first step needed. If your childs doctor is not concerned enough about your child, he is not worthy of your child. Call hospitals, some have referral services. Look in yellow pages under social workers, there are many that will help you.\nPlease be patient with your child and give him hugs and kisses. The child needs your support.

Get the hell off the computer and either call 911 or take them to the ER yourself.\n\nYeesh! People take their kids to the ER for a case of sniffles then can't figure out where to go for help for an actual injury.

Hi, he might be hyper-sensitive to a lot of things that enter his stomach, have you tried feeding him shredded wheat in the morning? It is natural, he will like it and the stools should firm up, if you do not feel like your sons doc. was the right guy for him, go to another pediatrician, get a full set of labs done on him, if the problem is in his body, it will most likely show up in his blood work.\nDo a complete panel would be my advise.\nGood luck, God Bless and happy Thanksgiving

Take him to a child psychiatrist. Have him evaluated. It could be a physical/ emotional/ or mental disorder.~hugs+sr= *shrugs!

He may be just going through "the terrible twos" (which actually last through the threes sometimes).  All my three kids were difficult at this age.  My first son had a tantrum, stiffened up like a board and fell backwards in the store, wacking his head on the floor hard!  He lived, we survived... barely.  Next time you take him to the doctor(and if he's like my kids, it probably will be soon), talk to the  pediatrician about it.  I'm afraid that too many kids are labled ADD and it may just end up being a stage of life the is difficult for the kids and parents.  Like Bill Cosby said, it's a good thing they are cute.

Well CookieMonster my advice may not be that ethical but I would suggest that you enroll your son in some sort of self defense course.  As a parent and previous kid yourself you most certainly must realize that if you get too involved that it will only work against your son and he will get the beats more often.  It is very sad that he was beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized and I would hope that the school he attends has a zero tolerance on violence and that any child who becomes physically or emotionally abuse towards another is suspended.  My advice for self defense course is because it will help to build your sons self esteem as well as better prepare himself in case of future attacks.  He might really enjoy taking boxing lessons and actually get to meet some new friends also.  I cannot speak of this other young man who is suppose to be a friend and whether or not he set your son up, but if he did then it would be wise for your son to stay away from him also.  But if he is sitting with one of the bullies as a measure of his own self preservation then he just isn't mature enough at present to understand the meaning of being a true friend.  Hopefully by involving the police in this latest incident you have somehow put some fear into these others who might want to attack your son and so this will cease and desist.  Kids can be very mean and think they are so tough by beating on younger or weaker kids.  But Karma has a way of balancing things out and hopefully in time they will learn that what they have done has consequences.  Best of luck to you and I hope that your son is going to be alright and gets many well wishes from his real friends while he is in the hospital.

Don't make any moves like contacting a Dr. unless things get out of hand. This could be taken as a type of betrayal. I served over there and thing changed a lot for me when I came back to the US. \n\nHe is your husband and you have an obligation to help him through this, but not if it gets so bad that you are living in fear. \n\nThe best thing he could do is to talk to other Vets. Any American Veteran from any war. Grandpa, Uncle, Brother, this helped me because it allowed me to understand that every Vet has to sort of relearn what it is like to be in society.\n\nPlease go to militaryonesource.com this was created for PTSD and family. Also you can call them 24/7 at 1-800-342-9647 they will know exactly what to do to help, guaranteed\n\nI am just looking at it now and there is a button on the front page that says Resources for military spouses.

Instead of wasting your time here asking for opinions from anyone with a computer, GO TO THE DR.. What are you waiting for.....My 3 year old son died, what should I do? Go to the emergency room NOW! Or, you could wait for a while and see if anyone agrees with you to do nothing.\n\nYes, I guess you should have mentioned you spoke with a DR.. You say it the test was negative. Tested for what? Blood? Did you feed your son beets?

This is not right.  You need to take your son to see another doctor.  It is definitely not normal and there will be a reason for it.  Ignore the doctor you saw and take him to see someone else today.

You can't say anything to him. He may have survivors guilt or PTSD, either way all you can do is let him know you are there for him. \n\nI have a "friend" who was in the service and has PTSD. I will never fully or even partially comprehend what exactly he went through But I let him know I am here for him. I also did some research on PTSD, so I would have an understand of what it is and how it affects someone. \n\nThe one thing you might try, is talking to your husband about joining a Veterans organization....Such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars in your area. Being around people that have been through what my Friend has been through seemed to help him. \n\nI hope this helps.

Where you in the military when you came back from Viet Nam?  If so, go to your closest VA Medical Center and they will take care of you.  If not, it's something you need to go to your doctor for, ASAP!

Find a new Ophthalmologist for your son. He shouldn't have to suffer as much as he has. Poor kid, I hope he gets the help that he needs.
