Hello @mkirby19,

As a mother, I can only imagine how worried you must be!
I’m also surprised that your daughter has not had any imaging of her abdomen and pelvis. An abdominal X-ray, an abdominal ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will rule out more serious causes like appendicitis or kidney stones. Left untreated, these conditions can cause severe complications! https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/appendicitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20369543

I’m tagging @fde11 @dntsass01 @houbrem @nanny23 @elle1233 @bborth @bentley33 @jt5369 @lring, to share their experiences and insights which might help you.

@mkirby19, if there is one thing I've learned from the Connect, community it is that you should never give up until you find the right therapy or the right person who can help you in the best possible way. If you are interested in getting a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, here is the link to do so: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Hello @mkirby19, Kanaaz, @kanaazpereira
Many of us on Connect have had hard-to-diagnose and/or rare disorders and persistence and second/third/fourth opinions have made a difference.
