I took my daughter Ayme to her appointment with the Pediatric Immunologist/Rheumatologist last week. After a thorough examination he said she has a Severe case of Fibromyalgia, and said he does not see any signs of Autoimmune disorders, Rheumatoid, Lupus, etc. He did say that when her back was injured 5 or 6 years ago, that it DID CAUSE her NERVES to go HAYWIRE! --- Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) without saying "RSD".... go figure.... Her Vitamin D level is extremely low - so he RX'd Vitamin D for 12 weeks, and sent a lab slip for her to go and get it rechecked after the 16 week mark..... said she should get into aquatheraphy for some exercise, etc... He DID say that WALKING would even be too much for her right now. He said it would take 2 to 3 years of therapy to get her so she doesn't hurt so much....Wow! He was very nice. So, I called the family Doctor here in Muskegon, and Ayme has an appointment this coming Thursday for a referral to aquatherapy... and to go over her appoinment with the Immunologist....
