    If they can't diagnose it and treat it will they help you by referring you to another treatment facility that might have the skills and expertise to diagnose him correctly and start appropriate treatment. If it were my child we would go to the Mayo Clinic since they are known as world class medical facility that specializes in cases hard to diagnose or treat. The next best option to a world class medical facility is finding the largest medical facility affiliated with the best med school that you can reach. University med facilities seem to like a challenge and will be most interested in any unusual medical problem. I also think they will be highly motivated to obtain some relief for the child and family too.

    Wegs can imitate a lot of different medical problems which is part of the reason it is often hard to diagnose, but if they think it is like GPA, are they willing to start treating it like GPA. I understand the need to be very careful about any treatment for a child that young so i would want some expert pediatrician involved in any treatment.
