Hiya! Welcome to the boards! I hope you feel a lot better now that you have found some good information to help you. I was onna those kids who got it when I was really young, but nobody knew what it was. I remember my mom having to come and get me from school and take me home or to the doctor's as early as 3rd grade. In the 4th grade, I also got rushed to the hospital with what they thought was appendicitus and I had that happen several times throughout my childhood. In the 4th grade, I remember being told I had missed 44 days of school - oy! Mine seemed to get better while I was in highschool, got worse at the end of 2002 and has been the worste it's ever been this last year. I am 21 now. Hope you find some good help, welcome again! --Steph
