Confused mom in maryland - need advice

[Rlz]

i agree with others here-find a doctor who will do the bloodtest-titers, anti d-nase, etc.

Another vote for Dr. L. You might also print off a copy of the diagnosis algorithm from the ppn and try to get another doc to run them. Send rate and crp are useful for indicating active inflammatory process which tends to get a doctor's attention. Also, you can request lidocaine cream to be placed on your kids arm for twenty minutes before the blood draw to minimize the discomfort. I was able to get a tube prescribe by our pediatrician and I carry it with me in case they don't have it handy at the lab.
