One thing I would ask is how much sugar is in your child's life? For many people we have loaded our bodies with sugar and it is making some of quit sick. Can it have an affect on a young one? I don't know why not. If you put more sugar into your body than it can use it has to go somewhere and is going to affect something. Our body's can get full of sugar and that isn't going to let the rest of the nutrients get into our streams or let the streams carrying the good stuff get through as it should. You must also be having a good amount of water going into your body to flush the wastes out so they don't build up. And last is exercise, a lot of exercise is good for any kid to develop properly. It is another thing we don't seem to get enough of any more. Nothing can get through our body's without something there to help move it through and that is exercise. If nothing else I hope this was a reminder of what to watch for continued health.

It's not that they're not taking you seriously, it's that there's not much they can do. There is no "cure" or treatment for insensitivity to pain. It is a serious problem, but there's no actual solution. What is important is to learn how to deal with it. I've been told that those with insensitivity to pain always need to make sure they check themselves for things like scrapes, including on the eyes. If he has a bad fall, it's important to make sure he gets it checked, because of course he's going to "feel fine". It's a lifestyle change, but there's no cure.
