[QUOTE="klmno, post: 366853, member: 3699"] Too late- I already hand-delivered the letter and actually feel much better ever since. I didn't dispute the results- only that court-ordering and monitoring would not lead to an effective therapuetic relationship, therefore it would not motivate me and I did flat-out say in it that I was unwilling to take medications for the tremor at this point in time based on the things I posted before. But if I began working with an effective therapist in the future and all things were taken into consideration- such as medical history- I would consider it. That's it- my line is drawn and I'm sticking to it. Crazy, there has not been one single thing ever even vaguely mentioned in difficult child's case that hasn't ended up a court order. I have every reason to believe this would, too. It's because they can't find an effective solution for difficult child so they order every. single. thing. that anyone says could possibly, might, potentially, help, a little. (Except of course the psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that two psychiatrists recommended last year.) But this is stupid. The highest, most informed professiionals were ignored- everything someone from their CSU mentions gets ordered. And this was a psychiatric recommending a certain medication not an MD or psychiatrist or neurologist (it's actually a harmless neurological disorder- harmless unless it interferes with daily life but mine is not that extreme and aren't even there all the time)- that is actually a hypertension medication. OK- my blood pressure runs low and the medication is not supposed to be used on those with asthma or breathing issues. I have repetitive bronchitis and have to stay on allergy medications. When something gets court ordered, they push it and look at any info the patient provides as just being said to get out of it. I have to draw a line somewhere and with all sincereity, it would be different if I thought it would help difficult child but this is ridiculous. And the medications supposedly have serious side effects. There are things that can really help with them- I don't know if it varies from person to person or not. But I do the things that helps mine although in very high-stress situations- like court where difficult child is getting sentenced- there is no hope- my hands are more than likely going to shake. The GAL brought up the tremors a couple of years ago in court and said maybe the problem was that difficult child was embarressed by them. (They are worse in court due to the stress.)
