What is going on with my daughter?

I have a 10 yr old daughter who has been having progressing symptoms of pain, pressure in fingers that is now effecting her legs......
my mother has EMS
family history of auto immune disease
fibromialsia history
Violet is 10, she has a history of blatter control issues,  blatter and kidney infections. Ww have had a hard couple of years dealing with family illness, tough but not dibitating. abot a month ago I noticed she could not grasp her fork. She has been to the Dr. for severe pain and numbness in her fingers. These would come in what I call episodes. It has since been progressing to where she is now having trouble using her legs. They shake,hurt and are at time hard to use. Last night I was instructed to take her to childrens hospital in our area. They saw her, seemd concerned, then the head of ER did a nerological test that he said seemed normal ( she was in tears grasping his hand) then they took some blood and sent us home. We have an appointment mid march in nerology, but what is going on in the mean time? ANY THOUGHTS???

Hi and welcome to our community.  We have a leader here who was a pediatrician in her former career before MS sidelined her.  I hope Quix will see you post and offer some ideas.  

Bladder problems are no fun  - I know from personal experience.  I can only imagine how difficult that must be for a 10 year old.  

I'm glad to hear she has an appt with a neurologist on the schedule.  Hopefully the neuro will have some ideas of what this problem is.

Welcome again - I hope we see you around here again.

my best to you and Violet,
Lulu
