If you’ve read some of freeper Fishtalk’s posts about her husband’s condition, he has had many, many seizures that aren’t anything like what medical professionals would expect. They’ve had a lot of trouble treating his seizures, and his brain infection and high fevers. Sometimes medications don’t work, and sometimes checking for allergies is a good way to treat a child’s medical problem [not making any claims about fishtalk’s husband]. They don’t always check medications to see if children can take them, and Jett first got sick when he was very young.
My daughter was tested for allergies this summer, and she had them. They definitely affect her. She was having terrible headaches and emotional meltdowns several times a week. If I give her an anti-histamine, she is much better.
I’d like to have her get allergies shots, but those are fairly time consuming and I don’t have the time to do that.
