Oh honey- I'm sorry to hear that you're daughter is in the hosptial again. I'm sure it's extremely frustrating.

Her symptoms sound like a number auto-immune disorders/diseases. Does she see a specialist? My thought would be maybe Fibro...? I'm not a doctor though and have no authority to diagnose her.

Since she's been in the hospital so many times this year, you would like to think and hope that they would try and get to the bottom of this.

Please, make sure she's seeing a specialist (and she probably is). Maybe try Mayo Clinic, if you have one in the area. I know the nearest one for me would be hundreds of miles away. But many people from my town go there and have great help. Another possibility would be if you have a Medical Universtiy in the area. Often times interns and/or doctors that practice in these hospitals are more open to 'digging deeper' for the cause.

We'll be thinking about her, and yourself, and your families. Please take care of you too. Let us know how things are going.
