Alyssa,

First, calm down(;>).  I know exactly what you are going through.  Things always seem to happen to us just before the weekend and no one’s around until Monday.  It can be both scary and frustrating. 

While it is true that BO is a sign of undersuppression, it can also be perfectly normal for your daughter.  Children are actually going into puberty much earlier these days and, while 8 WAS listed as one of the earlier years, it IS considered within the range of "normal" these days.

It is a good thing that you are already scheduled for blood work, but don’t let that stop you from calling your daughter’s endo.

I have found this wonderful deodorant that works wonders for my son (and believe me, he smelled like the entire football team AFTER the game) and it is 100% all natural mineral salts.  The name of it is THAI Crystal Roll-On Deodorant.  It states that it "Eliminates Body and Foot Odor" and I can testify that it worked for my son’s very strong body odor.

Check with your endo and good luck!!
