Hey Katelyn
I hope you are well soon
I have a 15 year old son who is going thru the same
thing we have an appt with the neurologist next month and
i can hardly wait I wish he had better health habits like you but he
loves junk food and eats just whenever
I feel like this is just heredity but it is so scary
Good luck and again best wishes

Hi! I just found this post. I also have a 15yo going through the same thing. Did you ever get any good info?

Would love to hear from you.
