Update on my daughter, been to GP.

Well she was examined and nothing obvious was found so she will be having a blood test to see if anything comes up. They are testing for kidney & liver function, glucose, thyroid, full blood count, glandular fever and coeliac disease. So who knows. The worst part now will be telling her about a needle which I dont plan to do until we are there as she will freak out. Does anyone know if they will use any kind of anaesthetic cream or something before the needle as she will be absolutely terrified. When she had her filling last week at the dentist she was physically shaking and I practically had to hold her down poor love.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The needle will hurt more if she is tense. Usually you can barely feel the needle. I never can!! She needs to be distracted, but the nurses will know exactly how to treat a frightened child. It will soon be over, have a small present ready for her when it is over and done with!!
Good luck. Keepus in touch.

hi tigwig, our local hospital are great with little ones needing blood tests - they apply the 'magic' cream then a big plaster to keep in on (they might put in a few places, just incase they can't get blood from one side) don't know how long it takes to work but there are usually play specialists around to help entertain/distract the kids while the bloods are being taken. Hope all goes well and you get some answers or the all clear! :)
