[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 418642, member: 1233"] Thanks all. I haven't been able to find a naturopath here, or actually I should say a reputable one. I have talked to many but they don't seem to be routed in reality or any sort of scientific exploration. One was happy to say it was one of a few things, but the "solution" was to have both Jess and I say some sort of chant as we held crystals in our hands. It didn't hurt anything but it also didn't help anything. As for tests, getting ANY doctor to do ANY testing has been like pulling teeth. Even getting a cbc and sed rate has been about as easy as crossing antarctica in shorts and flipflops - just ain't happening. This is another reason I have changed docs from the big pediatrician practice in our town. Sure they have the docs, a lab, xray facilities, etc... all in their building, but they won't DO anything iwth those resources for teen girls. I wish I was exaggerating. it is why we see a doctor in a little town about 20 min away. I am expecting to hear from them Fri or Mon about this symptom. So far all the advice, recommendations, etc... have been exactly what seems appropriate to me. I will ask about screening for any/everything and genetic stuff also. It seems very logical to me that she may be looking at some of what I fight, and if we can get it early with her it might not limit her world the way mine is limited. Esp if we can arrange to NOT have her spend 10 yrs on high levels of cortisone at the same time as having low levels of calcium and vit D - she might get to miss the bone problems that way. I will research your ideas/suggestions and see what we can find. Thank you all very very much. [/QUOTE]
