Its just part of being a mom I think. Glad the doctor is not taking this lying down, and is being thorough - I'd rather do a bunch of tests all at once then try one thing, then another, then another...

It sounds like the doc you have it the one to get since she's jumping thru the hoops to eliminate things and figure it out. When you know what it is then you can get worried about it, but until then don't get your panties in a bunch over the tests, it's protocol and it's what a GOOD doc should do.

He was on the prednisone at different doses for the last 4 years. I felt like I lost my sweet boy and gained a grumpy negative kid. It sucks. This summer is the first summer we have been off the damn stuff. God bless you both and I hope they figure it out soon. I ended up diagnosing my own kid by googling on the internet. I just typed in the symptoms. Good luck. My son has a kidney condition which is controlled with prednisone and some other yucky medicines.

And so far, every time, it has gotten better eventually on its own (helped by steroid creams and oral meds), as mysteriously as it got worse. I'm seriously hoping you figure out what is sending Chickadee's system into an uproar, because that would give you both the most peace of mind, but if not, my backup hope is that it just gets better.

Your dad's comments are always funny and insightful and the mom one up there is so very, very lovely. So, Chickie is reaping what they sowed and y'all are the best family ever.
