[quote=Anonymous]The knee thing is interesting--you could try a rheumatologist, especially if she complains of other joint pain. Start by asking the doctor tomorrow if they would test for rheumatoid factor since she has a symptom and it runs in the family. Also, as I recall, in RA if an inflammatory marker is elevated it generally is ESR (also called sed rate), not CRP. I agree that rheumatologists ones are among the best diagnosticians. But your DD is 18 and you will find it very hard to find pediatric specialists that will accept your DD. Will likely have to go to an adult specialist. If you have good health insurance it can cover all kinds of testing and specialists, but it will almost never cover a neuropsych exam. So I can see where OP has been able to get lots of testing done but would find paying for a neuropsych a struggle.[/quote]
