Michele~
Has your daughter been tested for Hyper
Parathyroidism? What is her calcium level and parathyroid hormone level?
@oldkarl Isn't it odd how the strangest things can lead to a diagnosis? I was in the hospital for an HE episode and the HOSPITALIST ordered an ammonia test which led to my diagnosis. Why oh why did my PCP, an internist, not put that together? He knew the same symptoms as the hospitalist and more. Go figure.

So true. I have learned the hard way to keep a paper trail set of my diagnosis papers, even with current medical e-records. My appendectomy was diagnosed after first being blown off as constipation. Then a few hours of diarrhea still did not cure the pain. I was close to breaking open. My cat became very attentive during cardiac episodes, even when there was no pain, only the EKG to show the problem. Oh, well.
Thank you so much for your response. I agree with you. I know it is a long journey and one that takes diligence and persistence. I appreciate that you shared this with me and also your suggestions. Very helpful. I hope that you are getting answers and feeling better as well. Have a nice weekend and thank you again.
