Rush

I am trying to blog every day for nablopomo. It is 1147 on the 6th and I have not posted day six yet. It has been a crazy day. Trying to finish up school for the week, wish a friend a happy birthday and all the official mom/day care stuff.

This week I have been relieved and yet feel a burden for my daughter. She has been in pain almost every day since I can remember I mean it comes and goes and it never slows her down. For years they have told me that it is probably growing pains, we have had potassium checks and chest x rays, we went to the eye doctor to see if headaches were caused by eyesight and still really no answers. This week she had a sinus infection which caused a trip to the pedatrician. She said I think Toni has pain amplification syndrome. Go home and research it. I am relieved because finally we might have an answer to her pain and burdened because I always wait for them to tell me okay maybe it is this. My daughter trusts me and I listen to her ask questions and then am usually told well it is probably this and then finally an answer. I have never wanted to make her a hypochondriac but when I ask is this normal I am usually asking because it does not seem normal to me. I love my daughter and am so glad she might get some relief.

If anyone who reads this knows anything about pain amplification syndrome please feel free to spread the wealth of knowledge. I am so leary when doing research on the web. What do you believe? Tomorrow we call around to see if I can get her into a physical therapist. I am not looking forward to that because somedays it just hurts for her to be touched.
