Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Ok we got 's dignosis at children hospital in Philly - the dr there knows her stuff even if she had no sensativity training. All the testing around here or experimental whatever is done at children's. I asked about additional testing and all she would recommend if testing for Fragile X syndrome. She wouldn't recomend any mercury or yeast testing. I also asked 's ped. and she would not disagree with the other dr so I'm assuming that she doesn't know anything about autism at all and is following the other drs lead. So here is the question - There is a DAN dr in Washington Crossing about half hr away. If had mercury posisioning or anything like that would she necessarily show other symptoms like digestive problems? It's not about the money (although $380 is more than I make in two weeks) I just want to make sure that I'm not getting my hopes up again for some answers that I'm not going to get. His assistant that answers the phone says he spends 3 hours with us and does blood and urine testing. Has anyone gone to a DAN doctor and what can you tell me about it? Also this dr does phone consults for a couple minutes between 4-5 pm should I ask him if he thinks these tests will help my little girl? Sorry to talk so much but I've read and read and read and can't find anything in the library about mercury posioning (even though I don't think has this but I'd like to ease my mind about it). thank you all in advance.
