Re: Does anyone know a good amil?
First of all - Jazak Allah Khair to all of you for getting back. I admire and respect the response from the well-wishers on this forum.
Believe me, my decision to see an amil was not an easy one. I have seen my daughter suffer for the last 6 months. She has even been hospitalised and ALL her test results have been negative - blood, urine, x-rays. I live in the UK and the area I live in has one of the best hospitals in the country and the team of local GPs are very good.
The paediatricians themselves cant seem to agree what is wrong with her - they seem to be playing the guessing game and, consequently, giving her a cocktail of steroids, painkillers and antibiotics which I am totally against for such a small child.
The doctors I have seen are very good - I have consulted different doctors to get different opinions. I’m sorry, but I disagree that my daughter is displaying classic symptoms of anxiety/panic attacks. Classic symptoms are:
The symptoms of a panic attack can be very frightening and distressing. Symptoms tend to occur very suddenly, without warning and often for no apparent reason.
As well as overwhelming feelings of anxiety, a panic attack can also cause the following symptoms:
- a sensation that your heart is beating irregularly (palpitations)
- sweating
- trembling
- hot flushes
- chills
- shortness of breath
- a choking sensation
- chest pain
- nausea
- dizziness
- feeling faint
- numbness, or pins and needles
- dry mouth
- a need to go to the toilet
- ringing in your ears
- a feeling of dread, or a fear of dying
- a churning stomach
- a tingling sensation in fingers
- shivering
- shaking

The only symptom from this list that she has is chest pain.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know - I’m very open minded.
