Hi Folks. Been a while since I've been on. Those who might remember me will know that my 14 year old has been diagnosed with Post Viral Illness since the end of 2012. Along with all the 'usual' symptoms he has suffered with intractable constipation which still hasn't resolved (despite two short periods of remission during the past 18 months in which his ME type symptoms started to improve and suddenly his bowels kicked back in as if nothing had ever happened! - short lived however). My son has just come out this week from another hospital stay for treatment for this constipation.
Anyway, the reason for this thread is just to shout out that I have managed to secure a consultation with Dr. Nigel Speight here in Dublin next month! Yay!! Go me!!! Can't believe how lucky I am to be bringing him to someone who 'gets' this illness. The consultation is an advisory one and I am hoping it will provide some insights into my young lad's particular symptoms. I'm hoping Dr. Speight will have had a patient with similar severe bowel issues due to their illness and can advise me and his doctors here about it.
Just thought I'd share this bit of good news. Hope you are all doing as well as you possibly can
Take care
Joan
