[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 367429, member: 1233"] They have done a few tests many months ago. We did consult an endocrinologist because the doctor who read the MRI thought he saw something on her pituitary. It was something that is there in kids and not in adults so there are no problems. Her thyroid is fine, or was previously. I totally agree that something is going on. I have felt from the beginning that anxiety was an easy answer from docs who just didn't want to bother with her. They went to anxiety when I would not let them chalk it up to PMS (the stupidest thing I had heard in a long time). The pediatrician we used to see has insisted that everything that has EVER made Jess sick is due to anxiety. Even before the abuse from Wiz was known she wanted to do this. We changed peds because she had the cajones to tell me that Jess's sore throat that was bright red with little white bumps was NOT an infection but was actually deep seated anxiety coming to the surface. She had already told two neuros that Jess only had tremors because she had anxiety. It was the final straw. Our new doctor laughed when I mentioned that the doctor said that strep throat was caused by anxiety. I fully believe that anxiety and depression are making things worse for Jess. We are working with some tdocs for this as the neuro has her on a LOT of medicine already. Jess felt she wanted to try using non-medicine approaches to deal with her depression and anxiety before she tried medications again. She remembers how strange she felt on prozac and zoloft when they were tried years ago. So far it seems to be helping her a lot. Thanks for all your ideas! [/QUOTE]
