Hi suejane. Yes, I do wish you luck. I can't believe this as my step-son is being tested for the same and had never heard of it before. Today we are doing the 24hr urine test. He also has Asperger's Syndrome and suffers hugely with anxiety and stress. Hope we both get good news but yes, my best wishes are certainly with you.

Oh SueJane - yet another worry for you. I hope it works out not as bad as you fear. I have to say I've not heard of Wilson's disease at all.

Ginny - all the best for you and your son as well, as it sounds like he (and therefore you) have a lot to cope with on your plate as well.

How precious health is in the end - can't believe I used to take it for granted when I was young....

Best to all - Julie.

SueJane, I've never heard of Wilson's disease either but will google it later. You seem to have a lot to cope with at the moment so good luck and best wishes to you and your Son.

Ginny what an awful coincidence, all the best to you and your step-son too.

Julie I think most of us take our health for granted when we are fit and well.

Hope there is a positive outcome for you all.

Hi Ginny. Thanks for your message. I hope all goes well for you.Son not too happy in hospital at night,i couldnt stay with him, but he managed and we await results.I think the staff were ok but i had to remind them of his anxiety levels, they shoot up if hes anywhere other than his own room at night, and i think they were mindful of that.He just so happy to be back to school and routine .
Best wishes x
