Lynn-

Thank you for responding so soon. She also has intermittent extremity pains and I do too. In addition, I have obsessive compulsive disorder which further complicates the situation. I am consumed with the thought that I have an undiagnosed HSV infection, causing her preterm birth and that is why the discharge? I am so embarrassed by these thoughts and my pediatrician thinks I am totally crazy. Could there be any link? >
