My daughter was diagnosed 9 months ago and we have treated her through a functional medicine doctor but we are always following up with rheumatologists. Who have done the exact same thing to us. It is really so heartbreaking and maddening at the same time. When someone tells you your child is going to suffer without medical treatment with really strong drugs (methotrexate). And then other doctors say she will be fine. Who do you trust, your gut, the doctors.... The way I look at it is the doctors in the white coats are every kid you went to school with. They are the smarty pants, the high school clown, the recluse, the prom queen. A lot of people you didn't like and would never take their advice. Well just because they are a doctor doesn't make them perfect. I think it's really important to find the right doctor. The one that's open and caring and understands all treatments and respects people's wishes.Jessica Glynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09202684329102633607noreply@blogger.com
