No she hasn't really checked him for anything other than the typical blood panels and the aso. When she said she was going to look into it, I was hoping she would look for more but the ASO was the only titre on there other than a couple of the regular things they order, blood counts, liver enzymes, etc...
I'm not really hopeful now. She is pretty good when I ask her for stuff but will only go so far. She is much too busy treating viruses and colds, I think. I stay with her because my son has such a complicated history and she I feel she does care. But some Drs. are so locked into having to see scientific proof and the good Drs do get too many patients, but that is another story. She admitted right out when my son was diagnosed with tourettes she wouldn't have ever thought of that (or tics). I know she was thinking anxiety. Thing is his presentation is so atypical, so maybe because of that she might look into other things. She ordered test for pheochromocytoma when I asked before he was diagnosed with Dysautonomia, because when you look symptoms are similiar. So I can't discount how much help I can get from her, I think I just have the be the one with the specific requests and then see what happens.
