Daughter In Cheerleading Camp

Hi all

This week for my daughter she is in Cheerleading Camp and she hates it because, she told me that it is too hard and she does not like standing ontop of someone else, she has no energy, and really sore musecles. I know that she might be a little winny diva like, I know that she is possible glutne intolerant, she is complaining more that her stomach hurts more and more. She had a sandwich with reg bread and she said that her stomach had bubbles so that now I am really concerned, I don't think that she has ever heard me say that about my stomach after eating. I want her to finish this week because I don't want her to think that if something is a little hard that you can just quit. I want to give in to her and let her quite but I cant, if she gets hurt then ok she can quite, but she only has 2 more days left, the coach tells me that most of the girls are just as tired too, because they are not use to this kind of activity, and she is right the most Hannah does at home is run around the house play with her dolls, and sing all day with me when Im home from work or play in the playground at day care when she is there, nothing strenuos like cheerleading, Ballet is the most strenuous that she gets and that is during school year. So I am trying to keep her active over the summer. Any other ideas, but I am limited because of my boot cast on my foot, I can take it off but I want and need to be carefull.

And she is 7 years old

Is it an overnight camp? If so, and she's only 7, I'd go ahead and pick her up.

The reason is, she might just feel insecure and want to know you're there for her. This will prove you are. I know my 9 year old could not handle an overnight camp.

If she were 14, I'd say to leave her there.

I remember that from the time I was a little older than that, no one would believe I was sick ... not doctors or family. So, I'm a little biased in saying to believe her. I even overheard my mom telling people I had a "low threshold of pain." Ends up I have Lyme Disease and it's actually remarkable that I did as much as I did.

If it's a day camp, I'd empathize with her, bring her something different for lunch, and have her follow thru.

Just a side note -- I have six kids, the youngest is 9. They are all very mature and independent for their age .... but when they were younger, I showed them that I was there for them no matter what. This gives them the freedom for independence later.

My DD who is 9 is having similar woes at volleyball camp (it's a day camp). She is definitely a drama queen--she'd much rather be on a stage than playing any sport, but happened to take a liking to volleyball. She is also already a diagnosed Celiac. I think her main issue is that it's HARD. Those camps keep them busy and working and active the whole time. I know my daughter is sore and plum worn out by the end of the day. She has to work hard and her muscles and body are still getting stronger from just being gluten-free for a month.

I'd encourage her to tough it out and follow-up with the doc about the possibility of Celiac. JMHO.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

I sorry I guess that I failed to mention that camp they call it camp is from 9-12 she comes home with me, I go and get her everyday unless she is staying for day care while I am needing to sleep from working the night before. and yes it is hard I don't think that she will continue on with cheerleading after this week

Only 9-12! I would make her stay if it was something she wanted to do, but then changed her mind halfway through. But as you say, though the week only, I wouldn't make her continue on with something she hates.

Donna, if she chose to go to the cheerleading camp, I would force her to follow through. However, it sounds as though she may indeed be suffering from Celiac. Celiac Disease can cause fatigue, sore muscles, etc. as a result of malnutrition. I know when I was younger I couldn't handle much physical activity at all. I now know it was due to years and years of undiagnosed Celiac. I never had the gastro symptoms until after I had my first baby.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      @Ginger38, Are you taking a B Complex vitamin? Vitamin D? Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      But for someone with Barrett's like @Charlie1946, long term PPI therapy might be necessary.

      Thanks for your reply I’m a nearly 69yr old female. My only medications are Fosamax and Lamotrigine for seizures. Thank you for that drugs.com link! There are soooo many common side effects for Reclast and almost nothing for Fosamax. Since it’s working well and I haven’t had any side effects from Fosamax (stomach bleeding, pain or upset) my doctor recommends it first over Reclast. Reclast is introduced into a vein thus bypassing the stomach which avoids all those stomach issues. But, once it’s in me, it’s there for a year or so. Any complications can’t be undone. With Reclast, I’m concerned about not being able to treat dental issues, several weeks of bone pain and the chance, although rare, of kidney damage. Plus all those other dozens of common side effects. It’s a very effective drug but looks pretty complicated to deal with. Hopefully I’m not just being a big chicken. In 2018 I fell and broke my ankle in two places. It took three screws to put it back together which is normal for that surgery. There was no mention of any difficulty or signs of bone loss. Thanks to my dog, I fell about a month ago onto a concrete floor with thin carpet. I landed on my left hip, then my spine, one vertebrae at a time, then clunked my head on the door frame. Twisted my wrist too. It was all in slow motion waiting to feel a crack that didn’t happen. Went to the ER tho. Amazingly, I didn’t even see any bruises. Thanks again for that link. I need to read through it some more. My doctor’s appt is next week when I’ll make the big decision.
