[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 235947, member: 1233"] We only have 2 pediatric practices in town. One is very high tech but they are very sloppy and I don't trust them. The other has 7 pediatricians. The male docs think every female old enough to have a period is only having problems because her period. The female docs vary. We have seen them all at one time or another, but they don't put much stock in a child having arthritis type problems. The pediatrician rheumatologists won't see anyone with-o a referral. I am not sure I can get a referral, even though our insurance does not need one. I don't think any of the peds will give a referral. Part of my worries over this stem from a very very strong family history of arthritis and other problems starting at about the age Jessie is now. And a number of these relatives are my age and have been in wheelchairs since they were 10-14 years old. JEssie LOVES sports and being active. So I am worried. Thanks for letting me know I am not exaggerating things. Because my hands are NOT strong and if I can open a bottle Jessie cannot, well, to me it signals a real loss of function. I will keep you posted as I learn more. Susie [/QUOTE]
