[QUOTE="Nancy423, post: 204974, member: 6118"] She's been on and off in therapy. Our current insurance doesn't cover those benefits (found out the hard way, still paying off) and I'm trying to see what our state can do to help - so far, not much. Illinois isn't very kind. I've been thinking more and more about trying to get her Medicare - we've got low IQ scores and a brain scan but I don't think I want to go thru the application process. Our bedroom is now under lock and key and we just store stuff we don't want her to touch in there. Anything that was damaged has been tossed and we're starting over. We're telling our family not to buy toys for xmas. We'll think of something else. As for medications, I'm just not sure what the allergy doctor will do - she's stable on the current medications. She's got Xopenex for rescue which is actually better than the albuterol's (Proair, Ventolin etc) for her. She can't take the powder stuff (Pulmicort, Advair etc) because her muscles around the mouth aren't developed enough and she can't get a good seal. doctor won't put her on the inhaler Advair until she's 12 (even tho she was originally on the CFC inhalers for those 2 medications). We'll see what he says. I'm just shaking my head and throwing up my hands. I have been trying to remember if behavior followed medications, or medications followed behavior........ [/QUOTE]
