    Oh dear - this is much more common than I first thought.

    It has been hard today, as she has been in a fair bit of pain. Enough to make me think about a GP appointment, but probably not worth making due to seeing the paed next week. Have been giving her panadol, which I think is helping.

    Wish I never told her about the Paed appointment. All she has done is ask questions and all her symptoms have ramped up. So it does seem to be pointing towards anxiety being the main cause.

    I feel awful, I am getting angry at her as I just can't deal with it. There is nothing more we can do, we have Gaviscon tablets for reflux (had to deal with a chemist laughing at me when I asked for them, as if a child gets reflux), panadol for pain (but don't want to be pouring that down her throat every day). I just want to cry. I know something is not right with her, but I also suspect right now she is playing on it. DD2 has been ill on and off the last month and has had a few medications to get over it all. I just want the appointment to be first thing tomorrow not middle of the week.

    What about peppermint or chamomile tea? They are calming on the tummy and the nerves and may help her feel you are doing something itms?

    Good luck with the dr.
