Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hi everyone, Im am looking for some help for my 3 yr old daughter. It has been a very long road. So many of her symptoms seem to not sound like JRA but after many types of Dr.s we are now being sent to a Rheumatologist. She had an endoscopy for her abdominal pain on Monday where her GI Dr. also took blood to test for different things one of them being the rheumatoid factor. WE won't know the results for a while. In the meantime I am waiting for all the results before we find a Rheumatologist. Here is what she is going through....everyday her stomache hurts, everyday a different body part hurts (mainly her legs and knees), her hands hurt, her eye, her gums, teeth(sometimes she says they feel loose but they are not!), the bottom of her feet hurt and itch, she sweats at night(her head gets very wet), She has mild twitching all through the night, she gets up during the night, she has always tried to eat dirt or other unusual things, she is very irritable, clingy and whiney, she also has had eczema which is getting better but she ocassionlly gets a rash that will come and go. I know something is wrong! Has anyone else experienced anything like this? She is on Miralax because her small intestine seems to stay constipated even though she goes to the bathroom everyday. Like I said we are waiting for the GI's test results. Thanks for any help! Oh also my Grandmother has had RA since a young age. Her hands and feet are completely twisted in different directions. Is this genetic? Tricia, mom off Molly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
