[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 309235, member: 84"] Susie, you could also request the doctor do a genetic screening for a wide range of disorders. Just because there is no history on either side......well, the combo of you and husband's gene's together could have combined to bring into play something you wouldn't ordinarily see in family history. When I was quite literally at the end of my rope with Travis..........neuro did such a screening........as well as tests for everything else under the sun no matter how far fetched it seemed. Anything that could be done with a blood test was done.......they took [B][I]alot[/I][/B] of blood from the boy. Which is why when the polycythemia symptoms popped up......doctor went ahead and did the test without question. We already knew he didn't have the whole gambit of other things, no need to look there. Know what I mean?? If I remember right they did a toxic screening to see if it was something in her environment.........how about for pesticides, insecticides, weed control substances.......such things are neuro toxins and could possibly cause such shaking symptoms maybe. Heck, maybe they aren't at toxic levels, but she's super sensitive to them.......... Betsy made me think of that last one. She can't use frontline.......level isn't toxic......but OMG does it make her sick.....she vomits, shakes, well...acts like she's dying. Super sensitive to it the vet said, like an allergic reaction. So thought I'd toss that out as well. I know PTSD and anxiety can cause alot of very real physical symptoms. But I'm having trouble thinking Jess's issues stem from this. I think docs tend to over diagnosis for both when they can't easily find answers........sort of like when they used to give the excuse "women's issues" or some such nonsense years ago when they couldn't readily find the cause. Personally, I'd rather a doctor say [B][I]I don't know[/I][/B] than give me some phoney reason.:angry: We've got a lot of "new" disorders popping up in the last 20 or so years. Maybe it has to do with what we put on our crops.......maybe it has to do with other unknown factors........but wussing out and blaming it on anxiety isn't going to find answers.
