Hi, I’ve not had to come on here for such a long time- I’ve been doing SO well after a really bad couple of patches just before and just after I had my children. I’ve really kicked my own HA but for some reason it is back but ENTIRELY focused on my youngest boy who is 9. I have to say he’s a very healthy kid, I don’t think he’s had a day off school this year and plays football for a local academy. He had a tricky start in life with 2 years of continuous bronchiolitis and then speech delay until he was 4. But since then he’s been amazing.
I’ve always been slightly anxious about him, I guess because of his start in life but in reality I’ve not needed to be. However a couple of years ago he had a period of blinking really rapidly saying his eyes were gritty. The pharmacist said it was allergies and prescribed eye drops and eventually it went away. This year it is back but also seems like his nose is really uncomfortable with post nasal drip too. The thing that made me go to the gp was the headache that went with it. The gp said it was allergic rhinitis. It’s a lot better now but occasionally he has a (short lived) headache (around 3 in a month) and it is freaking me out to a degree that I recognise isn’t normal. I can’t shake the feeling there’s something VERY wrong and now can’t even sit in the same room as him as it makes me so anxious. I ask him multiple times per hour if he’s ok. I’m worried I’ll pass on my HA but also just so worried there’s something serious happening.
What can I do?
Thanks for reading, it’s so nice to feel like there are people here who might understand.
