[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 366134, member: 4264"] Well this IS a positive development! And truthfully I felt relief for you when I read he was a migraine guy. This means his lack of specialty in areas that can help your daughter might be clouding him into his past issues about it all being "anxiety". Please tell your daughter that for over 3 years I saw a ton of docs and was in ER more than I count, and had periods where I literally couldn't move or walk, had to be carried for basic functions, and often heard the "anxiety" possibility while I was screaming inside my head and wondering when the bejeepers will someone GET that something was sooooo beyond okay. But getting into the docs who can test for concrete things, led to some ruling out things and then having to send me to another specialist etc which is the proper way of medicine. Test the obvious, if not, work from there from easiest possibility and into less likely, until we found an answer. It took just that one doctor to say enough, you're going to xyz specialist, to start me on the right path. Even though it was several specialists and tons of tests that all turned up nothing, it was NOT for nothing. It ensured we didn't jump to a conclusions when it was something simpler, and finally led me to the right doctor and right tests to tell me what I knew from about 6 months into the start of the entire mess, that I had MS. I do think this is the start of a path to answers. And if this movement disorder guy isn't the one to provide THE answer, ruling out a movement disorder would mean him having to figure out what else is possible and sending you to someone who is a specialist for that, and that means yet another step towards a solution. I'm so sorry she's still struggling. It can't be easy. [/QUOTE]
