Pediatric Rheumatologist appointment, Dec 6 2017

She did not like th appointment or the doc and said he was no help. I disagree. He was pretty good;  thorough, kind, and explained things well.
So today she was diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome (just like I have), wide-range CRPS, Autonomic dysfunction, slight hypermobility that might lead to a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and Allodynia. She was already diagnosed last year with hyper-reflexes, Ataxia, and Arteriovenous Malformation of the spine. Probability of POTS as well.
I wrote a little note on the symptoms form asking him if he could check to see if she has anxiety and/or depression, but to please not let her know I felt she does and asked. She was also dx'd with anxiety and depression. She agreed to seeing a therapist...yay!
Treatment for right now will consist of Zoloft, seeing a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, and Desensitization Physical Therapy.
