I still feel though no doctor of mine makes a connection that the constant sick issue and then developing PN and RSD at a young age have a connection. I am not saying your pneumonia and bronchitis caused the nerve condition etc but just some thoughts.
I agree with Rosie thank you and everyone on here or a family member that served or is serving.

Hey Daniella, Thank you for your kind words and understanding. Sorry it took so long to respond i've had to keep my youngest grand daughter (7 mos.) all this wk. normally I keep her two days but other grand parents on vac. As for thr rheumatologist yes but some time ago. And the illnesses are spread over years or in some cases decades. I also feel most doctors don't make the connection on most of us, until this forum I felt it was just me.

Again Thanks!

Wow you are a good grandma. I agree with you that doctors don't make connections. Each seem to just stick to their specialty and don't look outside that. Also it would be nice if all the doctors one worked with would communicate.
Maybe you should think about seeing a rheumatologist again? I am thinking that for myself too. Things can change over time. I have a friend who has had PN for many years and then was recently dx with Lupus.
Hang in there
